Virginia coach Mike London pledges $225,000 toward indoor practice facility

Mike London guided Virginia to an 8-4 season in 2011 and a berth in the Chick-fil-A Bowl Dec. 31 vs. Auburn?showing that the Cavaliers made a wise investment in hiring London in 2010 to turn around the struggling program.

Now it?s London who is making the investment into Virginia?s future.

London is pledging $225,000 to support the school?s efforts in building a new indoor practice facility for the team. The project?s cost is $13 million, and including London?s cash, the Cavaliers have raised $9.5 million for the project.

"The construction of the indoor practice facility is an important part of the effort to make our football program consistently successful," London said in a release. "That's why I want to show my personal support for the fundraising effort by making this pledge.

"The indoor facility will be a tremendous benefit for our team's in-season preparation and out-of-season conditioning."

Virginia hopes to have all of the money raised by the end of February and the project completed in time for 2013 spring practice.
