Local builder donates $1.5 million to MT Athletics

MURFREESBORO, TN — Middle Tennessee State University is getting a major boost to its athletic facilities through a generous investment by Murfreesboro resident, businessman, and philanthropist, John Floyd.

Floyd's $1.5 million investment was made in support of the Blue Raider Athletics Association's recently launched "Build Blue" capital campaign, which plans to raise $15 million for the construction of much-needed new athletics facilities on campus.

"This investment by John Floyd and Ole South Properties in our Build Blue campaign is a game changer in our efforts to transform our Athletics facilities and bring substantial change to the look and feel of our campus," said President Sidney A.
