It’s almost always game day somewhere! During the athletic year, you can find your BYU Cougars competing against the very best nearly every day (barring Sunday, of course). But with the cost of travel, accommodations, facility maintenance, events, and nutrition, operating a full NCAA Division I athletics program is no small feat.
“We work hard to be the best stewards we can be of the resources we’re blessed with,” says BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe. “Your generous contributions support our teams and our student-athletes and help make dreams come true.”
Since BYU Athletics does not receive a tithing allotment from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, ticket sales, donations, and television contracts provide much-needed revenue to keep the program competitive and successful.
Holmoe adds, “Thank you for believing in us, for cheering for us, and for being there for us every step of the way.”
