*The majority of sections at Milan Puskar Stadium have a “per-seat” gift requirement, which at a
minimum, a new season ticket holder would be required to make in order to purchase season tickets in
that section. However, making this “per-seat” gift does not guarantee that you will receive season tickets
in designated sections. All season tickets are subject to availability. The average gift, specifically in the
Blue Zone often times well exceeds the minimum per-seat gift requirement. Please see the MAC Annual
Giving Priority Ticket Limits below for more information.

requirements for men’s basketball season tickets.
Renewing field box season ticket holders purchasing a full field box (41-42

holders who purchase a full field box will be classified at the Stadium Suite

FOR INVOLVEMENT
MAC ANNUAL FUND
Gifts to the annual fund help WVU Athletics
achieve its goal of Advancing Scholarship and
Building Champions by providing the necessary
resources for student-athlete scholarships, travel
assistance, equipment upgrades, recruiting
enhancements and other essential budget relieving
expenses. MAC members who make unrestricted
contributions to the annual fund are also given the
opportunity to purchase season tickets in priority
seating areas. Unrestricted annual fund gifts
qualify for football, men’s basketball and baseball
priority seating and parking benefits.
BRICK CAMPAIGN
Honor a special fan, friend, family member or
loved one with an engraved brick located outside
Touchdown Terrace at Milan Puskar Stadium or
at the WVU Coliseum on the sidewalk in front of
the Jerry West Statue. The MAC will engrave your
message on a 4” x 8” brick, which will become a
permanent part of the WVU landscape for only $150
per brick.
Once orders are processed, you will receive a
“Thank You” note confirming your order and brick
inscription(s). All Brick Campaign gifts are awarded 2
Priority Points for every $100 received in the current
giving year. All Brick Campaign gifts are 100% tax
deductible. They are processed and receipted by the
WVU Foundation. Brick Campaign gifts do not count
towards MAC annual giving levels.
WHEELS CLUB
SPORT SPECIFIC GIVING
Sport specific giving allows interested
contributors to make gifts that are designated to a
particular program(s) of their choice. This method of
contribution assures that your gift is used to directly
fund the sport of your choosing and cover identified
needs specific to the program. Contributions to
individual sports accelerate each sport’s pursuit of
winning championships.
12
More than 50 car dealerships support the WVU
Department of Intercollegiate Athletics through
their participation in the Wheels Club by providing
courtesy vehicles to WVU coaches and administrators.
Wheels Club members who participate in the program
receive six (6) complimentary football season tickets
and (4) complimentary men’s basketball season tickets
per vehicle donated. MAC annual giving benefits and
priority points are based on the value and number of
vehicles provided for Athletic Department use.
MAJOR GIFTS
In addition to funding scholarships for WVU
student-athletes, MAC members play a pivotal role in
the enhancement, construction and maintenance of
first-class athletic facilities. For recruiting purposes, it
is essential that our facilities exceed the expectations
of prospective student-athletes and compare favorably
to other schools in the BIG 12 Conference and
throughout the nation. As always, maintaining facilities
and strategically planning for the future is an ongoing
process. Current major gift opportunities are available in
facility campaigns, program enhancements, recruiting
funds, scholarship endowments and mentorship
programs. All major gifts and pledges to WVU Athletics
— above and beyond contributions made for priority
football and basketball ticket opportunities — that
match or exceed $50,000 qualify for recognition in the
All-American Society.
All-American Society donors are invited to
exclusive events with Mountaineer coaches and
administrators throughout the year and are recognized
on campus in other various ways. All-American Society
gifts do not offer football and basketball season ticket
priorities; although they may have an impact on season
ticket seating and parking locations should donors
also participate in the MAC annual fund. For more
information on major gift campaigns and the AllAmerican Society, contact the MAC at (800) 433-2072.
SPORT SPECIFIC
GIVING PROGRAMS:
ENDOWMENT
The primary goal of the Athletic Endowment
Program is to fully fund all 360 athletic scholarships
through the ongoing establishment of Athletic
Endowments. To fully fund all 360 scholarships each
year, the principal balance of the Athletic Endowment
Fund needs to be $225 million. Each contribution
to a current and/or newly created endowment brings
WVU Athletics that much closer to fully funding all
360 scholarships, further enabling WVU Athletics to
utilize unrestricted dollars generated by the annual
fund for other essential needs across all varsity sports.
By supporting any of the opportunities in the
Athletic Endowment Program, you will play a vital
role in WVU Athletics’ commitment to its current
and future student-athletes’ academic achievement,
competitive success and personal growth. Your
generous support will be a major contribution to the
continuing improvement of WVU Athletics.
JERRY WEST SOCIETY
PLANNED GIVING
Membership in the Jerry West Society (JWS) is
exclusive to those who make commitments to the MAC
and WVU Athletics in the form of planned gifts. The
following are a variety of ways to join the JWS and impact
the future of WVU Athletics while creating a lasting legacy:
• Gift provision in a Will or Revocable Trust
• Income-Producing Gift
• Charitable Lead Trust
• Testamentary Gift of Retirement Assets
• Life Insurance or Annuity Policy
• Property/Real Estate
New members of the JWS receive fifteen (15) priority

opportunity to continue traditions that were so
valuable when they were in Morgantown.
Varsity Club membership is an exclusive
opportunity for involvement for all former WVU
student-athletes, coaches, managers, trainers,

encourages continued involvement and participation
of its members in all activities relating to WVU. The

the annual Varsity Club Weekend and various team
reunions, which are designed to bring alumni back
to campus and to recognize individuals who have
made outstanding contributions to WVU Athletics.
Annual Varsity Club memberships are $25
whereas a lifetime membership is $1,000. For
those that are 60 years of age or older the lifetime
membership cost is $500. Annual dues-paying and
lifetime members receive a number of benefits

Private support is essential to the success of WVU’s intercollegiate athletic
program. The WVU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics receives no
financial assistance from the state of West Virginia. It is a self-funded entity,

student-athlete scholarships. Your individual support helps talented young
people receive a quality education from West Virginia University while
ensuring WVU’s tradition of athletic excellence continues to grow.

your current season ticket location.

All MAC donors are eligible to purchase individual game tickets. The quantity
and/or location of tickets you can purchase is based on availability, annual
giving level, and Priority Points within your level
WHAT IS THE LIMIT ON AWAY/NEUTRAL GAME TICKETS?
The quantity of tickets you are eligible to purchase is based on your annual
giving level, Priority Points ranking within your level, availability and demand.

and/or venue.
WHEN ARE INDIVIDUAL GAME TICKETS MAILED?
Single, away and neutral site game tickets are typically mailed 7-10 days prior
to each game.
