了解拉文T.和奥黛丽巴斯基金会的礼物，使巴斯足球中心成为现实。
支持野马足球的推出
Football creates widespread energy—an unmistakable excitement across institutions over the excellence and hard work of the athletes on the field—that is difficult to replicate.
Future Football Saturdays will be more than just 校园活动—but memorable events between fans, family, and friends, creating connections for life. 准备好在Mount Mercy推动这种精神和热情吧。
足球将丰富招生，创造更有活力的学生体验，并为学生、校友和社区成员提供更多在校园里聚会的机会。
足球强化了我们学生运动员的生活经验，包括：
- 纪律
- 领导
- 时间管理
- 身体健康
Football also brings growth to our 学术项目 and provides the opportunity to expand our cheer and dance programs and to create a marching band in the future. With so much to gain, Mount Mercy football is poised to make a lasting impact on our community—both on and off the field.
他是创造传奇的合适人选
MD Daniels writes his name in history as Mount Mercy’s first football coach. 他对卓越的热情和激情为一个成功的项目奠定了基础。 丹尼尔斯给希尔带来了一个令人印象深刻的记录，作为大学主教练和助理教练，在球的两边都有经验。
在他的职业生涯中，丹尼尔斯执教过27名全联盟运动员，3名NCAA全美最佳球员，2名NAIA全美最佳球员，1名年度最佳防守球员和1名克里夫·哈里斯奖决赛选手。 丹尼尔斯还被提名为2023年AFCA 35名35岁以下少数族裔教练观察名单。

Busse家族长期以来一直支持Mount Mercy的发展和使命，我们很感激能够通过这份礼物继续这样做。 Jeff’s time as a football player was an invaluable part of his college experience. 它极大地影响了他的学术和个人发展，帮助他成为今天的领导者。 We hope you’ll join us in helping to create that same positive experience for the students at Mount Mercy, ensuring they too have the opportunity to grow and thrive both on and off the field.
建立在坚实的基础上
Mount Mercy’s long-established 田径项目 is led by Athletic Director Paul Gavin ’88, who has guided the addition of new programs and state-of-the-art athletic facilities that currently accommodate more than 600 accomplished student-athletes that come from around the world to play at Mount Mercy.
Mount Mercy的学生运动员参加了全国大学校际田径协会（NAIA）和美国之心运动大会的22个项目的比赛。 We strive to be a gold Champions of Character five-star institution each year by keeping our core values—integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship, and servant leadership—at the heart of our athletic experience. 学生运动员占Mount Mercy传统本科生的57%，他们在课堂上也表现出色。 Our men’s and women’s athletic programs have both recorded the highest GPAs in the Heart of America Conference!
我为我们在Mount Mercy的体育项目的不断发展和成就感到自豪，并且将足球加入其中是多么充满活力。 新的总足球教练MD丹尼尔斯，最先进的石膏运动中心的组合，以及布斯足球中心的增加，创造了更加激动人心的时刻。 我们的社区期待着未来几年的足球星期六庆祝活动。
