Athletics
911³Ô¹Ï's nationally respected Athletics program is about more than sports.
911³Ô¹Ï's Division of Intercollegiate Athletics aims to uplift communities and change lives through a sense of common purpose and collective effort. Philanthropy fuels scholarships for hundreds of talented, dedicated student-athletes and operational funding for 20 varsity sports plus cheer and dance, ensuring that every athletics program at 911³Ô¹Ï has the resources it needs to compete, grow and excel.
Successful Student-Athletes and a Successful University
Athletics programs are conduits for engagement, giving and enrollment, tying their ongoing success to the success of the university at large. Donor investment in 911³Ô¹Ï Athletics allows student-athletes to receive vital scholarship support and graduate with leadership, discipline and career-ready skills that make them highly sought-after candidates in today's workforce. 911³Ô¹Ï's student-athletes cultivate the soft skills and mindset to graduate boldly prepared for life after sports.
Competitive for the NIL Era
Investment in 911³Ô¹Ï Athletics also ensures that the university can remain competitive in the Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) era. The emergence of NIL has reshaped college athletics and institutions of higher education that can support student-athletes through internal excellence funds have a significant advantage in recruitment and retention. Without that support, 911³Ô¹Ï risks losing talent to institutions with better NIL infrastructure.
