WKU athletics got its largest-ever outright contribution from a former Hilltopper Monday.
Former WKU football player Joe Micatrotto and his wife, Sunshine Micatrotto, have donated $1 million to WKU athletics. The $1 million will go towards capital projects, the football and volleyball programs and the WKU Opportunity Fund.
“Joe and Sunny Micatrotto are impacting WKU Athletics in a multitude of ways,” athletics director Todd Stewart said in a press release. “This remarkable commitment, the largest from a former student-athlete in our history, will help to usher in a new era of philanthropy and support."
After beginning his athletic career at Kent State, Joe Micatrotto transferred to WKU and played for the WKU football team from 1993-1997.
