BYU Athletics announced a multi-year agreement with BYU Continuing Education on July 27, 2026, establishing the organization as the official jersey patch sponsor for BYU Athletics' Olympic sports programs.
The agreement includes an initial rollout of the BYU Continuing Education logo on competition uniforms for six sports beginning in the 2026-27 athletic season: baseball, cross country, soccer, softball, track and field, and volleyball. A second phase of the partnership will expand to include golf, gymnastics, swimming and diving, and tennis.
Dr. Richard Houseman, dean of BYU Continuing Education, expressed excitement about the sponsorship, noting that it allows the organization to support student-athletes who compete at high levels both academically and in their sports.
Brian Santiago, BYU director of athletics, stated that the department is grateful for the support for Olympic sport programs and looks forward to a promising future for these nationally relevant teams.

Beyond the jersey patch, BYU Continuing Education will be featured through fan engagement initiatives, broadcast media, in-venue branding, and other experiences intended to connect fans with educational opportunities.
