“Without doubt, the Pac-10 is the premier
athletic conference in the country. Likewise, the
quality of the teaching, research, and service provided
by conference institutions is unsurpassed anywhere in
the nation. We are very proud of our commitment to the
high standards of the Pac-10 in all of the activities
in which we engage. The stadium renovation is critical
to strengthening the ties among members of the Cougar
family as the University rededicates itself to meeting
the priorities of the 21st century. The renovations and
upgrades to the stadium will provide a more comfortable
and functional space for fans and visitors, enhancing
their game-day experience. In addition, a renovated
stadium will reinvigorate our ability to recruit top
student-athletes and coaches, strengthening our ability
to compete in the Pac-10 and enhancing our overall
institutional reputation. I am delighted with the
generosity so many individuals have demonstrated
already in support of this important
project.”
