A new kind of university on the shores of Punta Cana — world-class athletics, a relentless research edge, and an ambition to join the most competitive conference in America.
Punta Cana University was founded on a simple conviction: that elite athletics, rigorous quantitative research, and an excellent oceanfront quality of life are not mutually exclusive — they are, in fact, the same flywheel.
We are building a powerhouse football program first and an academic catalog second, in that deliberate order. Our long-term objective is admission to a Power Four conference, and we are preparing our candidacy with the discipline that ambition deserves. We are not yet accredited. We consider this a paperwork problem, not a philosophical one.
Every dollar raised advances two goals at once: fielding the most competitive roster in the Caribbean, and funding the research operation that keeps the entire enterprise — and its founders — comfortably solvent.
A small leadership team, each owning a single point of failure. We believe in clear lines of accountability and, where possible, an ocean view.
We go by first names here. Several members of the administration recently relocated to Punta Cana and would prefer not to be fully identified. Last names available upon successful wire transfer.
The institution's resident genius. Dr. Josh leads all academic and quantitative research, translating advanced statistics into models that — applied responsibly and offshore — keep PCU funded and its founders housed. Holds opinions about variance that have never been wrong.
The reason the lights stay on. Ryan owns the P&L, payroll, compliance, and the unglamorous machinery that turns ambition into an operating institution. If it has a budget line, it has his signature.
Gets everything onto an island that imports nearly everything. Wade runs procurement, logistics, and facilities — from turf and training equipment to the considerably more important matter of restocking the faculty lounge.
The front door of the university. Troy owns relationships, capital, and conference ambitions — the donors, the partners, and the long campaign to get PCU a seat at the biggest table in college sports. Closes.
We are assembling the rest of the org chart. If you are a coach with a chip on your shoulder, a professor with a tolerance for sunshine, or a lawyer who works in the gray, our door — and our marina — is open.
The founding administration, conducting field research. Punta Cana, 2026.
Green and gold. Built to compete on day one. Cold-blooded by design — we move slow until we don't.

Most schools wait a century to build an endowment. We don't have a century — we have a statistician. PCU's Office of Quantitative Research puts Dr. Josh's models to work, compounding capital responsibly and, ideally, continuously, so the institution and its athletics ambitions never depend on a single donor's mood.
We are raising the capital to field a championship roster, stand up a real institution, and earn our way into the conversation. Early supporters get in before the seat at the table — and the valuation — change.
Name etched somewhere structural. Iguanas merch. Our gratitude.
Sideline access and a standing invitation to Punta Cana.
A vote that we will weigh seriously. A building, possibly.
Your name on the stadium. A line item in the model. A friend in the DR.
We are accepting expressions of interest from prospective students, prospective athletes, prospective donors, and prospective opponents brave enough to schedule us.
