RUSTON, LA | Louisiana Tech Athletics proudly announces the launch of Blue Bloods, the official student spirit organization designed to ignite school pride, elevate the game-day experience, and create a unifying identity for students across campus.
 
More than just a student section, Blue Bloods is a campus-wide movement built on the core values of Loyalty and Legacy. The organization exists to enhance the collegiate experience, connect students from different colleges and organizations, and foster meaningful involvement with Louisiana Tech Athletics.
 
"Blue Bloods is about more than sports — it's about creating an identity," said Vice President and Director of Athletics Ryan Ivey. "It gives all students across campus a shared purpose and a powerful way to be part of something bigger that will not only impact their time here, but for the decades of students to come."
 
Program Highlights: 
• Loyal Blue Points System
Students earn points by scanning their student IDs at athletic events. They can be redeemed for exclusive gear, such as T-shirts, hoodies, hats, and more.
• Experience Rewards
Top point earners and randomly selected students will gain access to exclusive experiences, such as sideline passes, team travel, VIP seating, and more.
• Student-Led Committees & Campus Campaigns
Blue Bloods is built so students can apply to serve on official committees to take charge of planning spirit events, leading student sections, and promoting athletics across campus — from posters and digital content to social media blitzes and peer outreach — all designed to raise awareness, build energy, and connect Louisiana Tech Athletics to everyday student life.
• Perks Beyond Graduation
Registered Blue Bloods members may be eligible to continue earning benefits after graduation, including discounts on season tickets and opportunities through the Louisiana Tech Athletic Club (LTAC).
 
Blue Bloods is designed to connect athletics to the broader university culture, giving students an accessible way to engage, lead, and shape the future of fan involvement at Louisiana Tech. The organization unites students from all colleges, organizations, and corners of campus through the shared passion of the Loyal Blue spirit.

"Blue Bloods is about building tradition, legacy, and a true sense of belonging," said Ivey. "It shows students what it means to be Loyal Blue, how to Bark Louder, and why it matters to support and give back to a place that provides so many experiences and opportunities for those that attend here. This is how we begin growing the next generation of passionate and loyal Louisiana Tech alumni."
