USF Honors the Vinik Family

From reimagining the waterfront to owning the Tampa Bay Lightning sports franchise, the Vinik name is synonymous with success. Now, it is officially linked with the University of South Florida, thanks to Jeff and Penny Vinik’s generous total commitment to USF and ongoing support of a Muma College of Business program that the Lightning helped found.
Effective immediately, USF’s dual-degree sports-focused graduate program will be named the Vinik Sport & Entertainment Management Program.
