CHAPEL HILL—The University of North Carolina Department of Athletics and The Rams Club announced on Thursday a $15 million gift to support a new Carolina football initiative for student-athletes' life-long success and to name its new practice complex, positioning the team and its players for victory on and off the field.
The gift, from Jim and Jennifer Koman of St. Louis, Missouri, will honor Jim's father in two ways that are important to the family. The Bill Koman Game Plan for Success is a comprehensive development program that will prepare Carolina football players for life after graduation, and Carolina's new practice complex will be named the Bill Koman Practice Complex.
