One of Missouri State's icons made a significant gift to one of his former programs.
The university announced that former MSU athletics director and baseball coach Bill Rowe made a "significant gift" to the school's baseball program.
The gift from Bill and Nydia Rowe is an endowment to the Missouri State Foundation that will fund the Coast of Attendance for baseball student-athletes. The COA is an annual stipend allowed by the NCAA that is over and above scholarships. It will help athletes cover expenses such as academic-related supplies, transportation and other similar items.
“Coach Rowe and Nydia continue to leave a lasting mark on Missouri State Athletics.
