Another major gift from the Alfond Foundation for new and renovated athletic facilities.....this combined with earlier donations brings the grand total to $208 million. A few years from now Maine should have some of the best athletic facilities in the East outside of major FBS conference members.

Couldn't happen to a better State U. Happy for all the Black Bear fans. Maine has had good football teams, Coach Winkin led the baseball team to the College World Series almost every year in the 80's without the benefit of being a good Spring baseball State and in the 90's 3000 point scorer Cindy Blodgett led D-1 WBB in scoring four years in a row while Maine Men's Hockey won two national championships. Congratulations!

But the Northeast region got an auto bid to Omaha in the 80's which helped out a ton
