A Legendary Name, A Bold Endeavor

The McCombs Society is the official leadership giving society of UTSA Athletics. Members of the McCombs Society proudly support excellence by providing transformational resources that allow UTSA administrators and coaches to develop student-athletes into champions in the classroom, in competition, and in life.

Donors can become members of the McCombs Society with a minimum pledge of $25,000 over a five-year period or by donating an annual cash gift of $25,000 or more to one or more UTSA Athletics funds.

The Front Porch

Red McCombs firmly believed that college sports is the front porch of the university, providing exposure for the institution and higher education to the world. The McCombs Society perpetuates this philosophy, ensuring that people far and wide engage with UTSA through sport, increasing UTSA admissions, investing in infrastructure and providing economic impact for San Antonio.

McCombs Society Member Stories

Orlando L. Rummans ‘95, Retired U.S. Army Major

“I have spoken to several Roadrunners about their experiences pre-and post- RACE, and it has made a world of difference to both their athletic and academic experiences. I am grateful that I can make a difference.”

Tameka Roberts-Nunez '98

"The university is a growing school that is great for the city of San Antonio and athletes in the surrounding areas. The more that we have people who will give back, the better community we build around the university. It makes me proud to be a Roadrunner."

Brian Tramontano '94

"My hope is that we are able to encourage others to give. Sports are such an important part of any university. I’d love to be able to see others donate because as UTSA grows, the entire San Antonio community rises with it."
