Mississippi State Athletics launched STATE 1878, an independent membership community built for Mississippi State fans and supporters, on Thursday. The focus is on deepening engagement and strengthening the connection between Bulldog fans and Mississippi State’s athletic programs.
“I believe Mississippi State Athletics is capable of competing with anyone and winning at the highest level, and I believe the Bulldog Family is one of the most powerful forces in college athletics when it is fully aligned around its programs and its people,” Director of Athletics Zac Selmon said. “STATE 1878 channels that force. It connects our fans directly to the student-athletes who compete relentlessly in Maroon and White, creates meaningful NIL opportunities that invest directly in those athletes, and unites our entire community around a shared belief in taking Mississippi State Athletics to new heights. This platform was built for our fans and for this moment. We are fully behind it.”
Named for the year Mississippi State was founded, MSU Athletics said STATE 1878 offers fans direct access to Mississippi State student-athletes and coaches through breaking news, in-depth interviews, recruiting coverage, behind-the-scenes storytelling, and program updates that go beyond the box score. The platform also delivers VIP experiences, exclusive merchandise, and a community built around a shared belief in taking Mississippi State Athletics to new heights.
