Washington State Universitys Board of Regents allocates $20 million from operating funds to bolster Cougar Athletics in FY2027, aiming to cover budget shortfalls and maintain competitive sports programs. The move is seen as a strategic investment for the new Pac-twelve conference era, with President Betsy Cantwell emphasizing its positive impact on student recruitment, retention, and school pride. The funding will stabilize athletics operations, providing time to grow revenue and fundraise. Final approval for the full operating budget, including this support, is expected in May 2026.
