Getting in the Game The most gifted student-athletes are sought by universities around the world. If MTSU is to successfully attract the next generation of Blue Raider and Lady Raider players, it must have financial support to offer competitive student-aid packages to attract and support exceptional scholar-athletes. In addition, today’s leading intercollegiate athletics programs provide their student-athletes with facilities that allow year-round training and participation regardless of weather. The University has announced plans to develop an indoor tennis facility and a multipurpose track competition and training facility that will provide climate-controlled practice areas supporting football, soccer, baseball, and softball. Providing new opportunities for coaches to better interact with staff and players in a more supportive environment is another significant need. Thus, the University is seeking to build a new athletics administrative and educational center, which would house key offices and provide academic space for student-athletes.
