The University of Houston will be officially joining the BIG 12 CONFERENCE in summer 2023.
Becoming a Power 5 member will be transformational to the University and UH Athletics. It means participating in an elite circle of world-class universities driven to excel academically, athletically and in making life-changing impacts on the communities they serve.
Now, the focus shifts to preparation to not just compete, but win, in the conference. We have waited nearly 30 years for this moment.
To meet this expectation, UH has launched the Houston Rise Campaign, a $150 million fundraising drive for Houston Athletics to accelerate our competitive success and galvanize the Cougar community.
One priority of the campaign is participation. We need a growing share of our alumni and fan base to provide essential scholarship and operating revenue for Houston Athletics and our community of student-athletes. That can be done by making a Houston Rise scholarship gift or by purchasing season tickets for men’s football or basketball.
A second priority of the campaign focuses on infrastructure. We need all who see the University as a major asset of our great city to come forward and support the following areas:
Football Development Center
Modernization of Guy V. Lewis Development Facility
Generous donations will instantly enhance competitiveness for Cougar sports programs, fulfilling essential facility needs and providing resources vital to graduating leaders and winning championships. Your support will position Cougar student-athletes as lifelong leaders of character.
Athletics-Alumni Center Renovation
Cougar Pride
