COLUMBIA (AP) — The University of Missouri's athletics department says a planned $3.1 million gift from an eventual estate will go to the school's softball program and its scholarship fund.

The university announced Tuesday that the gift from the donor whose name was not publicly released will be split evenly between the softball program and the Tiger Scholarship Fund.

Previously announced gifts to the university include roughly $20 million in the past two months that will go toward building a new football facility near Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field.
