Clemson Names New IPTAY Leader

Clemson University’s athletic booster organization has a new leader. The university and IPTAY have named Davis Babb to be the new chief executive officer of IPTAY. Since 1999, under Babb’s leadership, TCU has raised more than $250 million in gifts and commitments for 25 new and renovated athletics facilities, endowed and annual scholarships and special projects. After going through corporate restructuring this year that strengthened IPTAY’s ability to raise funds for Clemson athletics, the university and IPTAY conducted a national search that led to Babb’s selection as IPTAY’s first CEO. Begun in 1934 to give the Clemson athletic program the support it needed, IPTAY is now one of the most successful athletic fundraising organizations. IPTAY donors provide millions of dollars in scholarships for student-athletes and non-athletes alike. It also has provided substantial support for programs and facilities that help Clemson Athletics stay competitive in collegiate sports.
