1500 Club
The Golden Bears have just finished an outstanding decade of excellence on the playing fields and in the classroom.
Four SIAC football championships, two SIAC men's basketball titles, SIAC championships in softball, baseball and men's golf. Individual and team academic honors. Winning the men's SIAC Commissioner's Cup.
Even through this period of sustained success, our student-athletes can use so much more. This is where you can help!
The 1500 Club is a vehicle where you can donate to the continuance of increasing scholarships, improving facilities, and supporting the academic and athletic endeavors of our student-athletes. In turn, you can get access to places and items reserved just for our esteemed 1500 Club members.
So join some of the great people who have given to our humble cause, including NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, NFL veterans Jameis Winston and Gary Burley, and Dr. DeWayne Carter, and become a member of the 1500 Club today!

Bear-ly Getting By
|
The Miles Athletic Department often has to use financial creativity to allow it to operate during each academic year. The yearly budget generally operates with approximately $100,000 wiggle room, which leaves precious little funding for emergencies and even less for academic, athletic, infrastructure improvements.
Miles sponsors 10 sports: football, volleyball, men's cross country, women's cross country, men's basketball, women's basketball, women's track & field, men's golf, baseball and softball. Most individual programs are not fully-funded and scholarship allotment is less than 50 percent capacity. On-campus facilities are outdated and outpaced by many competing schools. All of our teams that compete in the spring do not even have a place to practice without driving several miles to a facility - often in their own vehicles. Miles student-athletes enjoy success but we can do MORE for them! |
