For OSU to remain competitive in the Big 12 Conference, athletic facilities for both men's and women's sports urgently need to be renovated and expanded. Virtually every other school in the Big 12 has facilities superior to OSU's. The nation's top student-athletes want to go to a university where they can not only receive a quality education, but also compete for championships. Until we display a commitment to providing both, OSU will fail to reach its full potential. This fund-raising campaign relies on the generosity of private and corporate donors.
Every dollar counts.
If you've been wondering whether your donation really matters, rest assured that it not only matters, it's the cornerstone of the campaign. The OSU student body has also offered to help by adopting an athletic facilities fee, while the Stillwater community has voted to enact a use tax to raise additional dollars. The expanded seating will go up, not further out from the court. Visiting teams will still get that loud, enthusiastic atmosphere, but with twice as many fans. Being part of a winning program makes the experience that much sweeter.
