From the Desk of AD Laird Veatch: 2024-25 Year in Review
7/1/2025 9:00:00 AM | General
Dear Mizzou Family,
As we close the books on an incredible 2024-25 season for Mizzou Athletics, I want to take a moment to thank you.
This year brought change and challenge, not just for Mizzou, but for all of college athletics. And while we've had to navigate new territory, what never changed was your support, your energy and your belief in our Tigers.
Through it all, the heart of what makes college sports special never wavered: the roar of the crowd, the thrill of game day, the pride of seeing student-athletes compete with passion and purpose. From unforgettable moments at Memorial Stadium, to incredible wins at Hearnes Center, to thrilling ovations at Mizzou Arena, and plenty more, we created memories together that will last a lifetime.
As we look ahead to 2025-26, we do so with optimism and momentum. Our Will to Win remains our North Star: We want to win championships, and give you, the Mizzou faithful, even more to cheer about.
I know this highlight video will remind you of why we all love this, why it matters and why our best Mizzou memories are ahead of us.
Let's keep building something special – together.
M-I-Z,
Laird Veatch
Director of Athletics
University of Missouri
