Celebrate Coach Mac’s LEGACY

We are excited to share a historic milestone for Creighton Men's Basketball — Coach Greg McDermott has become the all-time winningest coach in program history, securing his 328th victory! This achievement is a testament to his leadership, dedication, and the incredible impact he has had on our Bluejay community.

To celebrate this momentous occasion and to continue supporting the future of Creighton Basketball, we are inviting you to make a special donation of $328 to the Bird Club. Your gift will directly support NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) opportunities for our student-athletes, helping them thrive both on and off the court. Your contribution will play a crucial role in ensuring that Creighton’s student-athletes have the resources they need to excel, while also celebrating Coach McDermott’s outstanding legacy.

An Omaha-based company, Athletics On The Line provides a platform that engages fans in charitable giving to support CU student-athletes through multiple campaigns.

"Supporting our student-athletes in benefitting from the use of their name, image, and likeness is one of our strategic priorities and critical to achieving our goal of winning BIG EAST championships," said Creighton McCormick Endowed Athletic Director Marcus Blossom. "These young men and women are great representatives of Creighton and I thank you in advance for supporting this initiative."
