November 15, 2014 (San Diego)—San Diego State University’s Aztec Club recently launched a drive to raise scholarship funds for student athletes. This week, Athletics Director Jim Sterk announced that a $1.25 million donation has been bequeathed by Bill and Robin Sinclair to launch the Coryell Legacy.
Named in honor of Don Coryell, the most winning coach in Aztec football history, the Coryell Legacy will be funded through endowments and estate gifts to assure the financial future of the Aztec Athletics’ department and the success of its student athletes.
The Aztecs Club has set a goal of raising $20 million through endowments.
Robin Sinclair said, “Bill and I are not alumni, but we love the Aztecs.”
Bill Sinclair compared building an endowment to building a sports team — a steady stream of new recruits maintains the program’s strengths. “Legacy giving will keep the university growing and guarantee its future,” he said.
