Yes, every good thing you have heard about Travis Hudson is true.

WKU volleyball head coach Travis Hudson was passing out t-shirts with his team at a WKU basketball game last weekend in support of former player Alyssa Cavanaugh’s continued battle with leukemia when an idea came to him.
“As I watched people walk in this building, I just had this overwhelming feeling in my heart that there’s 20,000 of those people walking around campus, and it’s so easy to find out if you’re a match,” Hudson said. “It’s so simple.”
Thinking of the multitude of people on this campus with the chance to save Cavanaugh’s life or someone else’s on the donor registry list, Hudson said he began trying to think of a way to shake the student body. He thought of promotions and fundraisers he’d seen before, half-court shots to win a semester’s tuition at basketball games. Then it hit him.
“If anybody on this campus — if any student on this campus who will take five minutes to register, and it comes back, and they happen to be the match for Alyssa Cavanaugh, their next semester of tuition on the Hill is on me,” Hudson said. “That sounds like a pretty good gig. I was a poor college student at one time.”
