The Sooners' athletic department received a record $110.3 million last fiscal year, breaking the mark set just two years ago.
NORMAN – The University of Oklahoma Athletics Department posted record-setting fundraising numbers during the 2023-24 fiscal year, securing $110.3 million in total donations and pledges from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024.
“The record support we enjoyed this past year from our alumni and friends was nothing short of astounding,”. “Year after year, their generosity amazes me, and our efforts are continually sustained by their investment and belief in our mission. It’s a very exciting time as we transition to the SEC, but we’re also living through, easily, the most disruptive and critical moment in college athletics.
Most notably, Brian and Kim Kimrey of Bartlesville, Okla., pledged a historic $20 million gift to the baseball and football programs in June, marking the largest single commitment in OU Athletics history and bringing their total support to $25.1 million. The Kimrey gift introduced the “Road to Omaha” campaign for OU Baseball supporters.
In March, Love’s Field, the new home of OU Softball was opened. More than 1,200 donors joined in the mission to create the crown jewel of college softball stadiums. To date, over $37 million has been raised toward the new stadium, achieving the most funding raised for a female-specific facility project in college athletics history.
