Jordy Sandy donates $20 for every punt inside the 20 yard line.
- College athletes are making headlines with the money they are earning through NIL agreements. "We sometimes joke that we don't want to see a lot of Jordy on the field, because it means we are punting," TCU Associate Athletics Director of Communications Mark Cohen said. "I decided to donate $20 for every punt I put inside the 20 yard line," Sandy said.
Those donations are going to the Hope Center for Autism in Fort Worth, where the mission is to enable individuals on the autism spectrum, and their families, to live more fully functional lives. "The reason why I chose that charity, I have a 9-year-old cousin who suffers from autism," Sandy said."I thought it was good to relate to what I've done with stuff that has affected my family back home."
Sandy's charity effort received national exposure when it was mentioned in TCU's nationally televised season opening win at Colorado. He pinned the Buffaloes inside the 20 yard line - twice.It's an idea that Sandy came up with while interning this summer for Cohen. Cohen was impressed on multiple levels.
"I've never come across a student athlete come up with this kind of project on their own," Cohen said."[It] resonates with me and my family, having two sons with autism."Having grown up in Irving, Bill Jones has deep roots in the DFW area. A graduate of the University of Oklahoma, he has spent his entire sportscasting career in the state of Texas, working in Lubbock, San Antonio, and Dallas-Fort Worth.
