Varsity Teams & Support Programs
Support your varsity program by giving to the Friends Group you are most passionate about:
Facilities
Our facilities say a lot about what is important to us.
Attractive, modernized facilities are essential to the viability of newsAthletics.
Recruitment
When recruits decide on a college, facilities rank in the top three factors of their decision. Great facilities show prospective student-athletes — and coaches — that the University is publicly committed to its Athletics programs, and that their role is important.
Fan Experience
Great facilities enhance the experience of both fans and student-athletes.
For more information about facility naming opportunities, please contact the Office of the Director of Development for Athletics & Recreation at (203)-254-4000, ext. 2474.

NCAA Donor Rules

Representatives of ¾«¶«´«Ã½'s athletic interests (alumni, athletic donors, friends) are expressly prohibited from any form of contact (in person, written, by phone, by e-mail, on- or off-campus, or other) with a prospective student-athlete or the prospect's relatives or legal guardians. If there are questions about this NCAA policy, please contact the office of athletic compliance at (203) 254-4000, ext. 2879.
Upcoming Events
From alumni versus student-athlete scrimmages to cocktail receptions, Friends of newsAthletics host several events throughout the year to connect alumni, parents, and friends with our current teams’ coaches and student-athletes. These events are hosted to share our appreciation with our loyal supporters, celebrate the successes of our Varsity teams, and support the future of newsAthletics. We hope you will join us during one of our many events to help strengthen newsAthletics, and to learn more about the trajectory of your favorite teams.
