Anonymous donor gifts Mississippi State Athletics $8 million

On Thursday, Mississippi State Director of Athletics Zac Selmon announced that an $8 million investment has been made in the Bulldog football program.

Everyone knows that the game of college football is not the same as it was 10 years ago. Not because of the play on the field, but that the ever-changing world of NIL. According to a release by Mississippi State Athletics, the investment will be used to advance the mission of delivering exceptional competitive resources that will uplift the Bulldog football program. The monumental gift is the second-largest commitment in MSU Athletics history. The family who made the investment wishes to remain anonymous.

In the same release, Selmon said,” To be an elite-level program, it takes elite-level resources. A gift of this magnitude shows the unwavering drive to establish Mississippi State football as a premiere college football destination for many years to come.”
