It was announced on Tuesday, Feb. 7, at the athletic affairs meeting that Eastern Michigan is currently on pace to having the highest grossing year in school history. Eastern Michigan has already met its goals in several areas and still have much more time before the fiscal year is over.
“FY17 will be a record year in athletics, I'm confident in that” says Associate Athletic Director for Development Dan McLean.
The 2016-17 school year has been arguably one of the most successful years in Eastern Michigan athletics history, with accomplishments all across the board. The Eastern Michigan football team played in their first bowl game in 29 years, the women's cross country team finished ninth in the NCAA Championships, and men’s cross country claimed its seventh consecutive MAC Championship.
