Big Green Priority Points
The Big Green Priority Point System is used to determine rank order for seat allocations for Football and Men’s Basketball season tickets, priority parking and tickets for both post-season and off-campus athletic events (including away football and men’s basketball games). Priority Points are awarded based on financial contributions to the Department of Athletics and to the Big Green Scholarship Foundation. All contributions that earn priority points are accrued on an annual basis and are re-calculated quarterly. Donors can check the number of priority points they have by logging into their account here. | Types of Contributions | Point Value |
| Big Green Annual Fund Gift | 1 point for every $100 contributed |
| Gift-in-Kind | 1 point for every $100 contributed |
| Endowed Athletic Scholarship Gifts | 1 point for every $100 contributed |
| Individual Sport Giving (Restricted) | 1 point for every $200 contributed |
| Big Green/ Athletic Event Sponsorship | 1 point for every $500 contributed |
