SHOOTING AT EAGLE FIELD Any media wishing to shoot still photography or video of a Georgia Southern soccer match is welcome to do so. However, all photographers are required to stay off the fi eld of play as well as outside of both team areas. It is recommended that photographers stand several yards off the sideline to reduce the risk of injury. Also, no children are allowed near the fi eld of play, including the track.

6GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY

THIS IS GEORGIA SOUTHERN Georgia Southern University’s tradition spans more than a century. Among the classic red brick buildings and ancient oaks that line the campus is a University geared toward equipping its students with the knowledge and skills they will need in a very modern and rapidly changing global society. Today, Georgia Southern provides a unique educational experience where students are able to take advantage of all of the benefi ts of a large university without sacrifi cing the per-sonal touches of a smaller college.

TRADITION LIVES HERE When you drive through the main campus entrance, you are fol-lowing a path more than 100 years old. Founded in 1906, Georgia Southern’s now sprawling nearly 700-acre campus began as three red brick buildings with traditional Southern columns surrounding a vast park-like lawn known as Sweetheart Circle. As they did more than a century ago, students still fl ock to Sweetheart Circle to relax in the sun, spend time with friends, or catch up on their studies. Tradition lives at Georgia Southern and it is woven into the very foundation of the University.

In the fall, the traditional Homecoming Parade ends at historic Sweet-heart Circle making for a memorable parade for students, faculty, staff, alumni and the community. Football players still arrive at home games in the same school buses used when the football program was re-started by the late legendary coach Erk Russell. And in May when the moment comes for students to become alumni, Freedom, the University’s bald eagle, fl ies over the graduates. The Statesboro summer is the perfect backdrop for the President’s annual water-melon cutting. The traditions of this classic University are the kind of moments that make the Georgia Southern experience one students cherish for a lifetime.

LARGE SCALE Georgia Southern University’s commitment to educational excellence is lauded by some of the most prestigious publications in the country this year. Both Forbes and U.S. News and World Report consistently recognize Georgia Southern as one of America’s Best Colleges. The University was also named as one of America’s Best Gradu-ate Schools by U.S. News and World Report. Kiplinger’s Personal Finance named Georgia Southern as one of its “Top 100 Best Values in Public Colleges” and The Princeton Review listed the University’s Master of Business Administration and Master of Accounting degree programs among the “Best 301 Business Schools” in the nation.

The University’s growth and achievement has led to its being des-ignated as a Carnegie/ Doctoral Research University. This designa-tion further elevates the University as an institution recognized for excellence. Another milestone for the University is the launch of its fi rst Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Logistics/Supply Chain Management. University System of Georgia institutions offer more than 180 doctoral programs, but Georgia Southern is the only univer-sity to offer this degree through the College of Business Administra-tion.

The American Geological Institute named the University’s Depart-ment of Geology and Geography as one of the top 100 Geoscience Programs in the country and the Engineering Technology program ranked 28th in the nation for total graduates and 18th for enrollment in its programs by the American Society for Engineering Education.

The College of Information Technology is one of only 10 universi-ties in the world to teach the cutting-edge technology of virtualization on VM software. Recently, the College was selected by VMware as the fi rst International VMware IT Academy Center, and it is one of only a select few in the country to offer SAP certifi cation as part of its degree program. This means students will graduate with cutting-edge knowledge and a competitive advantage the vast majority of Informa-tion Technology graduates—and even many professionals—do not have, saving their employers thousands of dollars in training costs.

72010 MEN’S SOCCER

The College also received distinctive honors when its Game Design Program was selected by The Princeton Review as one of the top 50 programs in the United States and Canada from a fi eld of more than 500.

Georgia Southern University’s College of Education claims numer-ous Georgia Teachers of the Year and recently one of its alumni was named the Siemens National AP Teacher of the Year. The College also obtained accreditation by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education Programs (CACREP) in the three specialty areas of community counseling, school counseling and student affairs. Georgia Southern was the fi rst institution in Georgia to be CACREP accredited in the area of student affairs, and is the only program in the region to achieve accreditation in student affairs, community counseling and school counseling. Georgia Southern’s College of Education has become respected for its focus on educa-tion administration and leadership.

Faculty members from the biology department in the Allen E. Paulson College of Science and Technology were awarded a $2.3 mil-lion National Science Foundation grant to promote the teaching of molecular biology to students in Georgia’s schools. Faculty, staff and students are also working on projects involving bio-fuels and wind energy.

The past 10 years have marked the single largest period of growth in the University’s history. A record number of students now attend

Georgia Southern, and record numbers of outstanding students are applying to join their ranks. More than 12,000 people applied to Georgia Southern for the Fall 2010 semester, and fi nal enrollment numbers are expected to set a new record with more than 20,000 students attending classes this fall.

SMALL FEEL While progress brings change, one thing that has not changed is Georgia Southern’s commitment to its students. For decades, the Uni-versity’s hallmark has been its dedication to remaining an institution centered on its students. The University has a low student/teacher ratio, and faculty members often work with students one-on-one.

At Georgia Southern, our students appreciate learning in small groups where professors know their names. In addition, many under-graduate students enjoy having the opportunity to work on research projects led by faculty members. This year, Dr. Charles Patterson was named the fi rst Vice-President of Research to lead the University’s Research and Service Foundation, an integral part of the educational community that encourages partnerships with industries and other institutions. The introduction of the new Public Health Core Re-search Lab is the latest research and education advancement available to University students. The facility is dedicated to analyzing soil, air and water samples from the surrounding area in an effort fi nd and remove contaminants, and it will also be counted as one of a dozen of its kind in the state to feature a Bio-Safety Level 3 (BSL3) lab.

Georgia Southern is well on its way to becoming a regional center for renewable energy sciences with the establishment of the Renew-able Energy Laboratory. Research teams composed of faculty and students within the departments of chemistry, engineering and biol-ogy continually explore and identify resources of energy for com-mercial and residential use that will benefi t the region by reducing the state’s dependence on foreign petroleum sources. JCB, Inc., the world’s leading manufacturer of heavy equipment, has partnered with the University by donating a Diesel-max engine in order to research biodiesel and other biofuels combustion emissions.

Georgia Southern is poised to further the expansion of research and educational missions well into the future with the exploration of coastal plain science, computational science and green construction through the Allen E. Paulson College of Science and Technology.

Even with more than 19,000 students at the University, students feel at home seeing familiar faces when walking through campus. Georgia Southern was the recipient of the University System of Georgia Award, specifi cally honoring the Pedestrium, a beautiful walkway that serves as the main artery through campus. This award represents the state’s top honor for University facility design and planning for the long-term commitment to campus.

Additionally, both students and parents appreciate the classic main-street community of Statesboro that features numerous amenities, shopping and dining options.

EDUCATION FOR A LIFETIME Whether a student is a new high school graduate or a professional deciding to return to the University for an advanced or online degree, Georgia Southern has numerous programs and options for students in every stage of life.

The University’s College of Graduate Studies is seeing unprecedented growth in its programs. An increasing number of students are also opting for online classes. During the spring 2010 commencement ceremony, more than 200 graduates received online degrees—includ-ing several that made their fi rst-ever trip to campus to receive their diploma.

The University’s Coastal Georgia Center in Savannah takes the Geor-gia Southern classroom experience to students outside of Statesboro. The College of Business Administration also offers the Georgia WebMBA program that allows professionals to earn their master’s without leaving home.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTUREImagine a college residence hall with suite and apartment-style living, a shopping area and a food court. That on-campus living experience became reality at Georgia Southern with the opening of Centennial Place. As home to 1,001 students, Centennial Place is setting a new standard in on-campus living.

Several key facilities at the University have celebrated expansions and renovations. A four-year, $22.75 million dollar project to expand and renovate the Zach S. Henderson Library tripled the size of the facility. Today it provides students and faculty with a state-of-the-art facility for research and study.

The $7.8 million dollar renovation and extension of the Foy Building added 3,599 square feet of space. Foy’s renovation includes a major enhancement to the outstanding Carol A. Carter Recital Hall. The Wetland Preserve at Georgia Southern University’s Center for Wild-life Education and the Lamar Q Ball, Jr. Raptor Center opened to the public last year. The 12-acre addition includes a small pond

and capture basin that houses a beaver lodge, a cypress pond that will be home to a variety of wading birds like herons and egrets, and a waterfowl pond. The 17-acre center is one of only a select few in the nation to be located in the heart of a major university campus.

REACHING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND THE WORLD

Georgia Southern students have more opportunity than ever to study alongside others from countries all over the world. Both the number of students coming to Georgia Southern from other countries and Georgia Southern students studying abroad has grown steadily over the last decade. This year, students participated in the fi rst study abroad experience in the African country of Botswana, addressing global issues such as poverty and environmental sustainability while working alongside the non-profi t organization Somarelang Tikologo.

However, the international experience is not limited to study, and Georgia Southern students volunteered nearly 16,000 hours of ser-vice to both the community and abroad. During spring break 2010, more than 100 students traveled the world volunteering, working at an orphanage for medically frail children and assisting with con-struction projects in Honduras and also establishing a library in the Bahamas.

Closer to home, students Volunteer in the Bulloch County area through Greek organizations, service clubs, and the Offi ce of Student Leadership and Civic Engagement. Georgia Southern students learn that service to others is always time well spent. The University works to better the community every day. The College of Health and Human Sciences is partnering with the Bulloch County Health Department to curb childhood obesity. Preventing disease and bettering the quality of life for people at risk of serious health problems is a focus of the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health. And the psychology department in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences has expanded the services at its psychology clinic to include children.

Every day someone, somewhere in the world is touched by the work of a Georgia Southern student, alumni, staff, or faculty member—making the reach of this University truly global.

ADMISSIONS Undergraduate Admissions Requirements Due to the University’s growth in academic reputation and size, it is recommended that freshmen apply at the end of their junior year of high school. Acceptance is based on a high school diploma or equivalent, satisfactory grade point average and satisfactory SAT or ACT score. Students must also complete the College Preparatory Curriculum requirements for regular admission into any Georgia public university. Transfer students Students may be admitted if they provide evidence of good stand-ing at previous colleges attended and meet all Georgia Southern admissions requirements.

Away from the playing fi elds, the cameras, and the excitement exists Iron Works, the heart of GSU’s strength and condition-ing for all 15 intercollegiate teams. There, athletes enhance their physical capabilities through the training leadership of certifi ed coaches, and the ending results are usually displayed in the win column. Built in 1989, the recent Iron Works renovation included the addition of offi ces and the total rehab of the entrance and interior. Nearly $50,000 worth of new weight equipment including multi-squat racks, two Olympic platforms complete with bumpers plates and bars, free weights, hammer machines and body weight scale were added. The biggest addition is a Mondo surface track 9x60 feet running down the middle of Iron Works for warm-up and agility work. Already at 5,400 square feet, the addition of nearly 1,000 square feet – including storage areas and modernized reception area previously not available – makes Iron Works a premier work-out facility. Georgia Southern Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Tom Melton, who re-joined the GSU staff with the dual title of assistant athletics director/athletic performance in the spring of 2004, provides a direct strength training leadership role to the Eagle football program while coordinating and supervising off-season and in-season applications for the remaining 14 GSU teams. Thanks to donations received from former Georgia Southern football athletes, Iron Works is also home to two Vertimax Jump Trainers.

Sam Baker began his tenure as Georgia Southern Athletics Director in January 1996, and in his 14 years has taken the Eagles to unprecedented growth and success, emphasizing ‘Rings and Diplomas’, making sure every student-athlete has a chance to win a championship ring and earn a diploma.

Under Baker’s direction, the athletics department has now captured 27 Southern Conference champi-onships and made 22 appearances in NCAA post-season play, including back-to-back NCAA FCS national titles in 1999 and 2000. A perennial power

on the national stage, Eagle Football has accounted for seven of the SoCon titles, eight of the NCAA playoff appearances (Division I FCS) and two of the na-tion’s-leading six FCS national championships during Baker’s tenure.

Baker makes sure all coaches and staff emphasize the student in student-athlete. Georgia Southern continues to make progress in the Academic Progress Rate (APR). Twelve of the 15 programs improved their APR score from 2005-06 to 2006-07. Last year the Eagles saw fi ve sports programs scored a perfect 1,000 - the highest total ever since APR was implemented.

Last spring Georgia Southern Athletics had 173 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA, including 37 that recorded a perfect 4.0. Under Baker’s direction, nu-merous student-athletes have earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors and fi ve have gone on to earn Academic All-America distinction.

Over the last decade facility improvements have been a main focal point of Baker’s efforts. Last spring, phase two of the softball stadium was completed with the building of stadium seating, a locker room and public facilities. During the 2007-08 year work phase one of the softball stadium complex was completed.

Aesthetic changes to the north concourse at Paulson Stadium in summer 2008 matched the improvements made the previous season on the south side. The Gene Bishop Field House opened in fall 2006, providing the home and visit-ing team with new locker rooms and a social meeting place upstairs for Athletic Foundation members. Those improvements add to the growing list of enhance-ments that makes Georgia Southern stand out among its football peers as having the best facilities in the country.

That same year the Bennett-Ramsey Golf Center was completed. The new building provides Eagle Golf with one of the top all-around practice facilities in all of the NCAA Division I.

During the 2004-05 academic year, work was completed on: the renovation of J. I. Clements Baseball Stadium, the construction of a Track/Soccer Stadium, renovations to Iron Works (Georgia Southern’s strength and conditioning center) and Men’s Basketball Locker Rooms (donated by Michael and Katrina Curry).

In addition, other team locker rooms, sports medicine treatment center, equip-ment room, and coaches’ offi ces in Hanner Fieldhouse have undergone renova-tion. Baker has also served as the driving force behind the Dan J. Parrish, Sr., Football Building (completed in 2000) and the Troy Cowart Building (home to the Athletic Foundation and GSU Ticket Offi ce).

Additionally, Baker has been active in his service to the Southern Conference and the NCAA. From May 2000 to May 2002, he served as chair of the SoCon Athletics Directors Association. For all his work, in June 2009 Baker was named NACDA Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year for the Football Champi-onship Subdivision’s Southeast Region.

Baker, a native of Front Royal, Virginia, joined the Georgia Southern manage-ment team after fi ve years as Director of the College Football Marketing Corpo-ration, a subsidiary of the College Football Association (CFA).

Baker’s responsibilities with the CFA included securing title sponsorship for and administration of its “Promise of Tomorrow” scholarship program. A four-year agreement with Hitachi awarded $1.3 million in scholarships to aid individuals involved in intercollegiate football with the means to pursue careers in the fi eld of education.

From 1986-90, he was associate athletic director for fi nancial development at Vanderbilt, where he oversaw the National Commodore Club.

In the two years before moving to Nashville, Baker was associate athletic di-rector for external affairs at the University of Oregon, the institution where he served as director of athletic marketing from January 1983 to May 1984.

Baker entered the fi eld of intercollegiate athletics at the College of William & Mary, where he spent seven years (1976-82) as director of athletic promotions.

Baker holds a 1976 master’s degree in Sports Administration from Ohio Uni-versity and a 1974 B. A. in Communication Arts from James Madison University.

He and his wife of 34 years, Ann, are the parents of three children: Zeb, Eliza-beth Ann and Josie.

Brooks A. Keel, Ph.D. began his tenure as the 12th President of Georgia Southern University on January 4, 2010.

The Augusta, Ga. native, a self-described product of the education system of Georgia, returns to his home state to lead Georgia Southern University with signifi cant experience in the top ranks of academia, research, and economic development.

Prior to his arrival at Georgia Southern this past year, Keel served as the Vice Chancellor for Research and Economic Development, and professor of Biological Sciences at Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge since 2006. From 2002 to 2006, he was a professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences and associate Vice President for Research at Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL.

Keel’s professional career began in 1985 at the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita, where he served in a variety of positions including the Daniel K. Roberts Distinguished Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (1995-2001), President of the Women’s Research Institute (1993-2001), and Director of Reproductive

Medicine Laboratories (1994-2002).Since joining Georgia Southern, Keel has been focused on expanding

undergraduate and graduate learning opportunities whether through research, creative or community-based educational experiences. In addition, he has been working to increase Georgia Southern’s research and economic development opportunities. The University is already beginning to attract interest through its Renewable Energy Lab and Public Health Core Research Lab.

Keel earned his Ph.D. in reproductive endocrinology from the Medical College of Georgia in 1982 and a Bachelor of Science in biology and chemistry from Augusta College (now Augusta State University) in 1978. He has completed postdoctoral work at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston and at the University of South Dakota School of Medicine, Vermillion.

He is a member of the Society for the Study of Reproduction, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and the Society for Gynecologic Investigation, among others. Keel has served on numerous boards related to his discipline, including the American Board of Bioanalysis, the American Association of Bioanalysts Board of Registry, the Oak Ridge Associated Universities, the Southeastern Universities Research Association and the Executive Committee of the Council on Research Policy and Graduate Education of APLU.

Keel is married to Dr. Tammie Schalue, an accomplished scientist and scholar. Dr. Schalue currently serves as the director of laboratories at the Heartland Center for Reproductive Medicine and the associate administrator for the American Association of Bioanalysts (AAB). Both are certifi ed SCUBA diving instructors.

The 2010 Georgia Southern Men’s Soccer team made several key acquisitions to help it accomplish the goals set by the coaches and players. Perhaps the most notable change is a member of the coaching staff.

Head Coach Kevin Kennedy brought in former Eagle Ben Freakley, who played for the Eagles in 2000 and served as a graduate assistant the following two seasons, to serve as as-sistant coach.

“We want to win. I don’t think anyone has that passion more than someone who has been a part of the program as a player and a coach,” Kennedy said. “(Freakley) has a vested interest in our success. He’s a great coach, and he’s here to challenge the guys and push the guys.”

The guys Freakley and Kennedy will be pushing gained valuable experience last season. The 2010 roster has six seniors and seven sophomores who played critical minutes in 2009, including fi ve who played at least 900 minutes.

“A lot of guys earned some game experience last year. A lot of freshmen were able to start matches and get good minutes,” Kennedy recalled. “At the end of the day, when freshmen come in, they don’t have as vested an interest as returning players because they haven’t been through spring workouts. They haven’t been through strength and condition-ing for a year.

“As returning players, they have that much more invested in our success, which I think is going to be good. At the end of the day, because of injuries and illnesses, a lot of guys got more experience which is terrifi c.”

One of the leaders on this team full of experience will be senior Jon Cox, who has scored seven goals in three seasons with the Eagles. The talented striker spent the summer fi ne-tuning his skills with the Atlanta Blackhawks, a professional development team.

“Jon (Cox) is a player that has the ability and the desire to play at the next level. The guy’s a winner, he wants to win. He’s shown a renewed commitment this spring and summer, and we’re excited about that,” Kennedy said of his forward. “He looks sharper than he has in the last two years, and he is a real threat in the conference. He’s a guy that can score goals and turn games for us.”

The task of holding down the midfi eld and getting the ball to the feet of Cox will most likely go to seniors David Leon-ard and Steven Hunter, and sophomore Aleksandar Tomic, who scored a goal against Gardner-Webb last season.

“(Tomic) started every game for us last year. He is very good on the ball and is a disciplined player,” Kennedy stated. “David Leonard and Steven Hunter both had great spring seasons. They are going to be players we are going to look to call on to play centrally for us. Their fi tness is good, and they are both seniors, so hopefully that will lead to them fi ghting a little harder and working harder.”

Austin Steele will be expected to anchor the defense. The senior started 33 games over the past three seasons, and is the team captain. He is also a threat to score goals, fi nding the back of the net fi ve times in his career.

“(Steele) has been a consistent starter for us. Everything in the back is going to be dictated by Austin and his leadership,” Kennedy remarked. “He is also a threat on set pieces because he is so good in the air and at coming forward.”

The biggest question for the Eagles this season surrounds the goalkeeper position, the one spot the Eagles lack experi-ence. Of the four goalkeepers on the roster, only one has experience in an Eagles uniform. Senior Zach Buckley played just four games last season, posting a 1-3 record with 13 saves.

Redshirt-freshman Neal Bates has a year of experience, but hasn’t seen any game action. Joining the returners is a pair of transfers in junior Ryan Platt and sophomore Bradley Bugg.

“I think Zach has a leg up on Neal Bates, in that he’s going into his ninth semester in the program, but Neal played all of our spring games,” Kennedy said of his goalkeepers. “Neal had a great spring and played well this summer with his club team, so both of those guys are very much in the mix.”

Platt played two seasons at Nazareth College, earning all-conference honors as a sophomore. During his second season, he allowed just one goal during conference play, lead-ing his team to a 12-4-2 overall record with a perfect regular season conference mark.

“Ryan, out of all the guys, has 30 college games under his belt. He has a lot of game experience which is important for a goalkeeper,” Kennedy stated. “Bradley Bugg is a player that we rated high coming out of high school and were eager to sign him, but we didn’t get him. Then, he contacted us about transferring. He’s a player that has all the physical tools and the youth experience as far as his club team, both regionally and internationally.”

Bugg played in three games as a freshman at Coastal Caro-lina, earning a 1-0 shutout win over St. Francis New York.

Kennedy also expects immediate contributions offensively from his incoming freshman class, specifi cally naming Hunter Norton, son of former Eagles coach Tom Norton, as well as Ethan LaPan and Drew Ruggles, as players that are expected to compete for playing time right away.

The Eagles open the season with three exhibition games, the fi rst against Mercer on August 21. The regular season opens at home against USC Upstate on September 1, before the Eagles go on the road for four non-conference matches, including the Flash Gordon Soccer Tournament at High Point in North Carolina. The Eagles kickoff the Southern Conference schedule at home against Furman on Sept. 29. Georgia Southern has just two home matches out of nine in October, hosting UNC Greensboro on Oct. 10 before clos-ing the regular season at home against Elon on Oct. 29.

The Southern Conference

The Southern Conference, which began its 90th season of intercollegiate competition in 2010, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models.

The Southern Conference has been on the fore-front of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercol-legiate athletics. From establishing the fi rst confer-ence basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), developing women’s championships (1984), to becoming the fi rst con-ference to install the three-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer.

The Southern Conference is the nation’s fi fth-old-est NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacifi c 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination.

Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Aca-demic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions.

The Conference currently consists of 12 members in fi ve states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships.

The Southern Conference offi ces are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A tex-tile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today of-fers the league fi rst class meeting areas and offi ces as well as a spacious library for storage of the confer-ence’s historical documents.

Membership History

On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were offi cials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Poly-technic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee.

Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new ath-letic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA

voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play summer baseball for money.

Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fl edgling league including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meet-ing but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929.

By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Con-ference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Con-ference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 in-stitutions west and south of the Appalachian Moun-tains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Confer-ence. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisi-ana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt.

According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the withdrawing group, regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new league which began play in 1932.

The Southern Conference continued with mem-bership of 10 institutions including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee.

The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Wash-ington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary.

Today, the league continues to thrive with a mem-bership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans fi ve states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford.

Leadership

John Iamarino was offi cially named commission-er of the conference on January 2, 2006. Iamarino has promoted the Southern Conference through an ambitious agenda which has improved competition, upgraded compliance-related matters, launched the conference’s Hall of Fame and increased the market-

ing and brand awareness of the conference and its member institutions.

The Southern Conference named its fi rst commis-sioner in December 1950. Duke head football coach Wallace Wade made the transition from Blue Devil football coach to athletics administration as the fi rst person at the helm of the conference.

Lloyd Jordan replaced Wade as the commissioner in 1960 and served a 14-year term until Ken Ger-mann became the league head in 1974. Germann was the commissioner for 13 years and orchestrated the league’s expansion to include women’s athletics. In 1987, he was succeeded by Dave Hart who spear-headed the transfer of the league offi ce from Char-lotte, N.C., to Asheville, N.C.

Wright Waters succeeded Hart upon his retirement in 1991. Under Waters’ leadership, the Southern Conference expanded to 12 members, added three women’s sports and posted record revenue from the basketball tournament. Waters, who is currently the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, was fol-lowed by Alfred B. White in 1998. White, a veteran member of the NCAA offi ce, introduced the current conference logo and elevated the conference’s com-mitment to marketing and development of corpo-rate partners.

Danny Morrison headed the conference from 2001-2005 and orchestrated the league’s move from Asheville, N.C., to Spartanburg, S.C. Under Morri-son’s leadership, the conference increased its market-ing and promotional efforts.

Championship History

The fi rst Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in At-lanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the fi rst recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball.

Commissioner Germann spearheaded the South-ern Conference’s expansion to include women’s ath-letics during the 1983-84 season. That year, league championships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the confer-ence instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994.

The Germann Cup, named in honor of the former commissioner, annually recognizes the top wom-en’s athletics programs in the conference. From its humble beginnings, women’s athletics have become an integral part of the Southern Conference and its success.

The Southern Conference declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track and fi eld, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track & fi eld, tennis, golf and softball.
