The Phil George Blue & Gold Dinner and Auction provides funds for scholarships, recruiting and support programs for ASU student-athletes. The event is named for ASU’s legendary former coach and retired athletic director Phil George, who led the San Angelo College basketball team to eight Pioneer Conference titles and the 1957 National Junior College Athletic Association Championship. In addition to basketball, George coached track, baseball, golf and the football offensive line. He coached several notable athletes, including former ASU and Baylor head football coach Grant Teaff and 1961 American League batting champion Norm Cash.
Crockett National Bank is the title sponsor of the event for the fifth consecutive year.
