Michigan State University received a $401 million commitment from Greg and Dawn Williams, with $290 million seeding FOR SPARTA: The Capital Initiative for MSU Athletics. The FOR SPARTA campaign aims to raise $1 billion to elevate facilities, enhance the student-athlete experience and secure the department's leadership in college athletics. Another $100 million will establish Spartan Ventures as an affiliated revenue, innovation and development arm to create new revenue streams and strategic partnerships. The remaining $11 million will support business and entrepreneurship academic programs and extracurricular activities including the Spartan marching and pep bands and the Sparty mascot program. The gift carries no naming rights and will not fund a coach's severance.
