A longtime football powerhouse, SWU is a member of the Big Eleven conference and is usually in the top 20 in college football rankings.

Prior to Pitterno’s arrival, attendance generally averaged 25,000 to 29,000 per game. Season ticket sales bumped up by 10,000 just with the announcement of the new coach’s arrival. Stephenville and SWU were ready to move to the big time!
