In an extraordinary act of generosity, Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian has pledged a jaw-dropping $7.6 million to support an international orphanage initiative. The donation is part of a larger commitment Sarkisian recently made to give away his entire $20.5 million in bonuses and endorsement earnings to charitable causes.
While most headlines focus on college football success and massive coaching contracts, Sarkisian is shifting the spotlight to those most in need. “These kids didn’t ask for the circumstances they’re in,” he reportedly said. “They deserve everything we can give them—safety, opportunity, and love.”
The funds will support orphaned children with housing, education, healthcare, and mentorship programs across multiple continents. Sarkisian’s contribution has already sparked waves of praise, with fans and philanthropists alike calling it one of the most powerful gestures of giving in college football history.
This headline-making move isn’t just about charity—it’s a legacy-defining moment that proves leadership off the field can be just as impactful as victory on
it.
