"Pioneer Points"

Pioneer Points are measurable criteria established to determine your donor ranking. Pioneer Points are accumulated each time you make a donation. For every $100 donated, you gain 1 Pioneer Point. Consecutive years of giving are another way to gain Pioneer Points, beginning with the 2012-13 season moving forward. All donation amounts prior to the 2012-13 season will be included in your Pioneer Points, as well. Those with the most Pioneer Points have preference of seat choice and greater access to NCAA and postseason events.
