2015-16 Arizona Fan Guide
MISSION & GOALS Welcome to the 2015-16 Fan Guide. We hope this will provide you with all the information you need as we embark on another wonderful year. As we continue to build on our recent success, we think it is important for our fans to know that Arizona Athletics receives no state appropriations or student fees, but does receive 315 tuition waivers annually, authorized by the Arizona Board of Regents. Tuition waivers are also granted to ASU and NAU. The athletics department is responsible for covering annual academic costs (room, board, books and fees to supplement the tuition waivers) and is responsible for generating the revenues necessary to meet the department’s budgetary obligations. Additionally, all funds required for new facilities and renovations are provided through the continued support and generosity of athletics department ticket buyers and donors. Fans play a major role in our ability to compete at the highest level and we need you to continue to invest in our programs so that we can provide our studentathletes with a first-class experience both on and off the playing surfaces. This can be done by purchasing tickets, joining the Wildcat Club, wearing the colors (especially on Fridays), and encouraging your friends and family to do the same. We appreciate your support and passion for the Arizona Wildcats and look forward to seeing you at the games! #AZisWildcatCountry BEAR DOWN, GREGBYRNE Lowell-Stevens Football Facility VICE PRESIDENT FOR ATHLETICS ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT GOALS & GUIDING PRINCIPLES 1 Graduate Student-Athletes 2 Follow the Rules 3 Represent the University and Athletics Department in a First-Class Manner 4 Practice Sound Fiscal Management and Maximize Revenue Opportunities 5 Compete for Championships WHAT IS THE ARIZONA A-CLUB LETTERWINNERS ASSOCIATION?

A portion of Arizona Athletics’ funding comes from the generosity Donations of $100 or more make you a Wildcat Club member! of athletics donors also known as Wildcat Club members. The Wildcat Club is a collective group of individuals who provide financial support for nearly 500 University of Arizona student-athletes. The support from these donors allows Arizona Athletics to compete with the best in the nation by providing financial support for scholarships, state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, team travel and other programs that allow student-athletes to succeed on and off their respective playing surfaces. There are many ways Wildcat fans can become official supporters of Arizona Athletics. With a tax-deductible donation of $100 or more (or $50 or more for recent graduates within three years of graduation) individuals can become a Wildcat Club member. Most tax-deductible gifts fall into one of the below categories: Philanthropic gifts (i.e. capital campaign donations, sport/area specific giving, scholarships, endowments) Ticket priority (the tax-deductible portion of the overall ticket price) Charitable gifts Ticket sales Corporate sponsorships Television revenues WILDCAT CLUB PRIORITY SEATING Certain areas of Arizona Stadium, McKale Center, Hillenbrand Stadium, and Hi Corbett Field carry a per-seat tax-deductible contribution over and above the ticket cost. All season ticket holders whose priority amount totals $100 or more automatically qualify for membership in the Wildcat Club because the priority amount is a tax-deductible donation. Priority seating gifts for Football, Men’s Basketball, Women’s Basketball, Softball, and Baseball are included in each donor’s annual gift club level. Priority amount on season ticket purchase is approximately 80% tax-deductible! Please consult your tax advisor. GIVING OPPORTUNITIES PLANNED GIFTS WILDCAT SCHOLARSHIP FUND Donating to the Wildcat Scholarship Fund means making a commitment to the academic success of all Arizona studentathletes. Scholarship costs are projected to be more than $4.9 million annually* and are one of the largest and most important needs of the Athletics Department. Richard Jefferson Gymnasium SPORT SPECIFIC OR AREA GIVING Individuals may also choose to support specific sports or areas within the Athletics Department. These generous contributions offset the operating costs of specific sports and areas. CAPITAL PROJECTS Individuals who contribute to the ICA Capital Campaign help fund facility projects which support UA student-athletes. Currently these contributions provide support for projects such as the McKale Center renovation, Lowell-Stevens Football Facility, Jim Click Hall of Champions, Kasser Pool, Roby Gymnastics Practice Facility, Richard Jefferson Gym and Hi Corbett Field. By including Arizona Athletics in your estate plan (i.e. bequest, charitable gift annuity, charitable IRA distribution), you can help ensure a quality student-athlete experience for future generations of Wildcats. Arizona Athletics works closely with the UA Foundation concerning a specified planned gift to honor the intentions of the donor. Priority Points will be given to donors who establish irrevocable planned gifts after calculating the IRS Charitable Deduction. ENDOWMENTS Establishing an endowment for Arizona Athletics affords a donor the unique opportunity to provide scholarship support in perpetuity; it’s a gift that keeps on giving. A minimum commitment of $100,000 must be made to create an endowment within Arizona Athletics. By doing so, the individual will become a member of the Wildcat Club and receive the appropriate annual giving benefits.

We strive to serve the University, our studentathletes and our fans. Compliance with NCAA regulations is of the highest priority for our athletics programs and institution. In order to accomplish this, we must always seek the highest standards of ethical conduct. With your assistance and cooperation, we can achieve these goals. WHO IS A “PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE?” A “prospective student-athlete,” known as a recruit or prospect, is a student who has started classes in the ninth grade. In addition, any younger student who receives any benefits from the institution would be considered a prospect.

Representatives of athletics interests are bound by NCAA, Pac-12 Conference and University of Arizona rules and regulations. As a result, representatives of athletics interests are responsible for notifying the University of Arizona Athletics Compliance Office of any potential rules violations. If a booster is found to be involved in a violation that results in the imposition of sanctions, the booster may be subject to the following consequences: revocation of ticket privileges; disassociation from the athletic department (e.g. loss of donor program and/or booster club privileges); or loss of any other athletically related benefits or privileges deemed appropriate by Arizona. AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF ATHLETICS INTERESTS YOU MAY: Provide employment opportunities for current studentathletes* (Please contact the Compliance Office or C.A.T.S Life Skills Office with any opportunities) Provide occasional meals to student-athletes in your home* Bring outstanding prospects to the attention of the Arizona coaching staff *Requires athletic department approval prior to occurring.
