The Wildcat Reign, a new spirit group powered by the Twitter account OverheardACU, is trying to increase student involvement in ACU athletics.

“The Wildcat Reign is a student organization with the purpose of creating a fan section at home games across the board, for all sports,” said Mark Jackson, director of student organizations and programs. “It’s a student section for our students to come and be loud and wear purple.”

According to their website, The Wildcat Reign “will help provide students the ability to facilitate Wildcat pride on campus.”

The Wildcat Reign plans on attending sporting events for football, volleyball, women’s soccer, baseball and basketball.

Their purpose is “to really drum up student involvement at home games and create a home field advantage,” Jackson said.

This new spirit group will hopefully aid the new online ticket purchases that were supposed to increase student turnout.

By making “team spirit” an organized event, students may be encouraged to become a part of Wildcat Reign. It ensures students would not be alone in their enthusiasm. The goal is that this spirit group will bring more students to the games to cheer on ACU’s teams.

“In a few weeks the Wildcat Reign will be selling ‘Make it Reign’ t-shirts to students,” said David Pillen, an ACU graduate from Sugarland. “If you buy a t-shirt you’ll enter in the chance to gain all access to the ACU men’s basketball team when we play Baylor in Waco. This includes traveling with the team on the bus, eating with them, being in the locker room and sitting courtside. It should be a great time.”

“The goal is to create a fun atmosphere for students to come and be a part of supporting ACU athletics,” Jackson said.
