Anyone have a rough estimate of the percentage of Backbones are owned by Universities?

I remember a conversation a while ago with a university Network Engineer who was talking about something along the lines of "most internet backbones are owned by Universities and then leased to commercial backbone providers due to how ARPANET and other predecessors were historically built out." Anyone know if that claim (presently) has merit, or if it was likely just loose-small talk?
