“Our goal every year is to win the OVC Big South Football Championship. We are encouraging, challenging and inspiring our student athletes to develop standards and habits that reflect an elite and nationally relevant program. The Leatherneck Legacy is an opportunity for all WIU fans, alumni and supporters to be a part of something truly special. Your involvement will have a meaningful impact and allow us to be competitive in the new landscape of Division 1 football.”

"Our women's basketball program will benefit greatly from our Leatherneck Legacy program. It will provide opportunities for our players to get even more involved in the community, help retain the quality student-athletes on campus, and allow us to recruit high caliber players and people. It will help our players build their brand and provide opportunities for them beyond basketball. I am extremely excited to see how Leatherneck Legacy enhances our program both on and off the court."

"Championships aren’t built overnight—they’re built together. Through the Leatherneck Legacy Club, your support will give our student-athletes the tools, experiences, and opportunities they need to succeed on and off the court—and help us compete for championships in the Ohio Valley Conference."
