Kuehne is the recipient of the 2013 Fred McCain Award, presented to individuals whose contributions and efforts advance the athletic program in major ways.
Kuehne, a 1966 graduate of North Texas, made an initial $1 million pledge in January of 2011 to help with Apogee Stadium and other department needs. A year later, Kuehne chaired the basketball enhancement committee whose main priorities included a basketball practice facility and a new scoreboard and sound system in the Super Pit. In 30 days, the group raised over $3 million in pledges, including an additional $1 million dollar gift from Kuehne himself. The basketball practice facility was quickly completed along with the improvements at the Super Pit due to the dedication of Kuehne.
