Creighton Athletics' success since we joined the BIG EAST more than 10 years ago has been possible because of you. Your support is the X factor that keeps our teams thriving season after season.
It’s vital that Creighton Athletics has the resources to maintain a competitive edge in this ever-changing arena. That's where the BIG EAST Excellence Fund comes in.
This fund ensures that we meet our programs' most immediate needs and continue Creighton Athletics' incredible momentum of success on and off the court or playing field.

The BIG EAST Conference
Our move to the BIG EAST Conference in 2013 brought an unprecedented level of national attention to Creighton.
It also created countless opportunities for our nearly 300 student-athletes, who have access to some of the best coaches, faculty and facilities in the nation.
Your Giving Day support will ensure that Creighton Athletics continues to meet the financial obligations of the BIG EAST Conference while recruiting, retaining and graduating some of the very best student-athletes in the nation.
The University has flourished this past decade in the BIG EAST. And it's due not only to the bigger platform the conference has given us but what the Creighton community has done with that platform. With every new game, our coaches, players, students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends and fans have taken every opportunity to show the larger world who we are.
“Creighton being in the BIG EAST is getting our excellent athletic and academic programs noticed. It’s attracting quality students and quality professors to teach them. It’s a fantastic conference, and I’m excited for the ways it will continue to put the University on the map.”
— Marcus Blossom, McCormick Endowed Athletic Director
