State #34 is officially on the board.
This week we started accepting high school seniors into our Sports Industry Program Class of 2031, and one of our first commits is from New Mexico. That's a first for our Sports Industry Program!
We keep a map of every state our students call home, so of course we had to put the New Mexico piece in ourselves.
Every student brings their home state's college football loyalties, and come fall, it makes the SIP space a pretty electric place to be. Can't wait to add a new rivalry to the mix.

For the second time this year, one of our SIP students has made national news on @ESPN!

Samford took the pitch at U.S. Soccer! ⚽
Twelve teams of SIP sophomores competed in the U.S. Soccer Case Competition this fall, and two of them earned a trip to the finals today at the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center, going up against students from schools like Georgia Tech, Emory, North Carolina, and other top universities.
The challenge: the World Cup brought millions of new fans to soccer in our country this summer. How does U.S. Soccer turn them into fans for life? Both teams delivered creative, strategic answers, and we couldn’t be prouder of how they represented Samford.
Team 1: Ben Barber, Braedy Sommerville, Ben West, and Parker Sfakianos
Team 2: Anna Callery, Sara Davey, Madeline Byrd, and Caroline Hodges
This was our first visit to U.S. Soccer’s new home, and it’s absolutely beautiful.
Thank you, U.S. Soccer Federation for the opportunity. With U.S. Soccer now headquartered in Atlanta, just down the road from us, we’re looking forward to a long and great partnership.
