The Center for Sports Leadership and Innovation will leverage UT Austin’s expertise in academics and success in athletics to change the culture at a time when national headlines remain focused on high-profile athletes’ behavior and responsibilities. The first-of-its-kind program will also build on the university’s long-held philosophy of “winning with integrity.”
The center will be funded through the president’s office for three years, largely with revenue from the Longhorn Network. It will also seek collaborations and partnerships with private, nonprofit and advocacy groups in an effort to become financially self-sufficient.
