“I am extremely excited about the launch of the Pride of Little Egypt collective. By consolidating our efforts into one fund, we maximize opportunities for all student-athletes. They can enhance their brands, increase community engagement, and strengthen our position within the ever-changing landscape of college athletics. With your help, the Pride of Little Egypt will be the strongest collective in the Missouri Valley Conference and help us attract the best and brightest student-athletes to Southern Illinois University.”
