The initiative, in its sixth year, enables participants to pledge a dollar amount per touchdown the Mountaineers score during the 2016 season and subsequent bowl game. The proceeds will support a project within the Libraries.
“The Mountaineer Touchdown Challenge is becoming more popular each year at West Virginia University,” Director of Athletics Shane Lyons said. “I’m asking all of our alumni and fans to embrace the Challenge and help us enhance the WVU student’s academic experience.”
Football coach Dana Holgorsen is excited for the season to start and is pleased to help academics through the team’s effort at winning games.
