Picture this. An Ohio University Athletic program where the Bobcats are the premier program in the conference, with all teams regularly competing for conference titles and NCAA tournaments. Academic success is at its highest level nationally and the quality of all aspects of the program brings unprecedented pride to faculty, students, staff, alumni and supporters throughout the country.
That vision can become a reality. It is a great time to be a Bobcat! Winning the MAC women's all sports trophy, several teams in postseason competition and excellence being exhibited by Bobcat student-athletes academically. There are so many things in which to be proud!
Bobcats Athletics has a storied tradition. Many great teams, players and memories abound! Thanks to the support of many individuals, the program has had many special times, and through the assistance of the Bobcat team of supporters, many more memories await! The future is very bright!
A successful athletic program impacts so many. It assists the university through enhancing enrollment, bolstering fund raising and promotes pride for faculty, student, staff and all supporters. It also benefits the community through entertainment value and economic impact to area businesses through athletic events. Moreover, athletics provides an education and fulfills a dream for nearly 400 men and women student-athletes each year.
If you can dream it, you can do it! There may be some challenges ahead. However, with the great assistance of the Bobcat team of supporters, our vision of future excellence will soon be coming into view. Walt Disney once said: "All your dreams can come true, if you have the courage to pursue them." Let's begin pursuit of our dream today!
Go Bobcats!
