The Dill family鈥檚 connection to 宅男视频 State runs deep and wide. The late Mike Dill came to 宅男视频 State in 1978 to join the Racer basketball coaching staff. Marilyn Dill, then Marilyn Valentine, arrived in the mid-1970s as a student. Mike and Marilyn鈥檚 two sons, David and Chris, carried on the Racer tradition by both attending 宅男视频 State as student-athletes, David in the golf program and Chris in football. They both also met their spouses, Ashley and Michelle, while attending 宅男视频 State. David is a member of the 宅男视频 State University Foundation Board of Trustees and served as the chair for the Be Bold National Campaign Council.
