Purpose:
Irv Brown Endowed Scholarship is established to provide scholarships to University students pursuing a degree in ‘Sport Management or ‘Journalism & Media Production’. The Fund is established to commemorate the life and legacy of Irv Brown. Irv was MSU Denver’s first baseball coach from 1968 to 1969. He was inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame in 1997 and into the Roadrunners Athletics Hall of Fame in 2012. Irv also spent nine years coaching baseball at the University of Colorado and 15 years as an NCAA basketball referee. Irv was a legendary radio broadcaster in Denver for 20 years.
