In preparation for its move to the Big 12 on July 1, 2023, UH athletics officially launched HOUSTON RISE, a $150 million fundraising campaign that will be primarily used to improve athletic facilities, on Thursday.
“President Khator has made it clear that we enter the Big 12 to win,” said UH athletic director Chris Pezman. “We need to elevate to a Power 5 standard to provide our coaches and student-athletes the tools they need to compete for championships in our new conference. This is the mission of HOUSTON RISE.”
The money will go towards building the new Football Development Center, upgrades to the Guy V.
