2011-12 ACC ANNUAL REPORT 1

The AtLAntic coAst conference continues to achieve success both on the field and in the classroom. Collectively, the 12 member institutions have truly embodied what the ACC is all about – A Tradition of excellence.

The 2011-12 ACC academic year was a monumental one as we’ve successfully expanded our membership, solidified an extension with our television partner and claimed a stake within the future structure of postseason football.

This last September, on behalf of the ACC’s Council of Presidents, we introduced the University of Pittsburgh and Syracuse University as the newest members of the ACC. The addition of these two fine institutions further strengthens the league’s rich tradition of balancing academics and athletics and also enhances the ACC’s reach into the states of New York and Pennsylvania. Beginning on July 1, 2013, the Atlantic Coast Conference will stretch across nine contiguous states and we are extremely excited to begin competition as a 14-member league.

It was also this past year that we were able to extend our exclusive, multi-platform agreement with eSPN. The partnership between the ACC and eSPN now runs through 2026-27 and features a substantial increase in value and exposure. I’m extremely pleased that more ACC content will be televised both

regionally and nationally than at any point in league history. Furthermore, our conference is well positioned within the continuous, ever-changing world of technology.

Finally, it was on July 3, 2012 that we announced a 12-year agreement with the Orange Bowl Committee that will be part of the new postseason format for college football. The ACC Champion will be featured annually in the Discover Orange Bowl, played on New Year’s Day at 1:00 p.m. beginning after the 2014 season.

On the playing fields this past year, ACC schools captured four team NCAA titles and seven individual NCAA titles. In the fall, Maryland Field hockey captured the league’s 17th title in the sport and eighth for the Terrapins. In addition, North Carolina Men’s Soccer was victorious in capturing the league’s 13th title and the second overall for the Tar heels program. In the winter, Boston College won the Men’s Ice hockey’s Frozen Four, taking home the school’s fourth title. In the spring, Virginia Rowing captured the school’s second title. ACC student-athletes excelled in individual competitions as well, winning individual titles in Fencing, Indoor Track & Field, Outdoor Track & Field, Swimming & Diving and Rowing.

Last year, a total of 126 ACC teams earned NCAA postseason berths and 262 student-athletes earned All-America honors. The ACC placed at least one team in the final top 10 nationally in 20 of the 25 sponsored sports. In all, 48 ACC teams finished their season with a top 10 ranking, including three at the No. 1 spot. The ACC also had seven National Players of the Year, six National Freshmen of the Year and seven National Coaches of the Year, with six schools receiving the honors.

Academically speaking, ACC student-athletes continued to set the bar high. A record 2,904 student-athletes were named to the ACC’s Academic honor Roll by earning a 3.0 grade point average or better for the entire academic year.

In football, Clemson claimed its 14th ACC Football Title, the most of any ACC school, with a win over Virginia Tech in the 2011 Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game held in Charlotte, N.C. For the first time in its history, the ACC had two teams in the Bowl Championship Series, part of nine bowl-eligible teams overall. Turning attention to basketball, five ACC men’s teams earned NCAA berths, marking the 13th consecutive year the league has placed four or more teams in the field. In addition, the ACC is the winningest conference in NCAA Tournament history with a 364-188 record. For the 18th consecutive year, ACC Women’s Basketball placed at least four teams in the NCAA field, with two making it to the elite eight.

The ACC and its member institutions continue to exhibit a rich tradition of balancing athletics, academics and integrity. As a conference, we are tremendously proud of our student-athletes’ accomplishments this year and look forward to the year ahead.

Sincerely,

John D. SwoffordAtlantic Coast Conference Commissioner

Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any

endeavor. However, in today’s intercollegiate athletics,

competition has become so balanced and so competitive

that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level

of consistency. Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has

defied the odds. Now, in its 60th year of competition,

the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of

the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate

conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture,

the numbers support it. Since the league’s inception

in 1953, ACC schools have captured 127 national

championships, including 67 in women’s competition

and 60 in men’s. In addition, NCAA individual titles

have gone to ACC student-athletes 146 times in

men’s competition and 102 times in women’s action.

ACC MeMbership Chronology

The ChaMpionships The conference conducted championship competition in 25 sports during the 2011-12 academic year - 12 for men and 13 for women. The first ACC championship was held in swimming on February 25, 1954. The conference did not conduct championships in cross country, wrestling or tennis during the first year. The 12 sports for men include football, cross country, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, baseball, tennis, golf and lacrosse. Fencing, which was started in 1971, was discontinued in 1981. Women’s sports were initiated in 1977 with the first championship meet held in tennis at Wake Forest University. Championships for women are currently conducted in cross country, field hockey, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, golf, lacrosse, softball and rowing with volleyball deciding its champion by regular season play.

year in review The 2011-12 academic year saw ACC teams capturing four more national team titles and seven individual NCAA crowns. In all, the ACC has won 55 national team titles over the last 14 years and has won two or more NCAA titles in 29 of the past 31 years. The ACC was one of only three conferences in America to place two of its teams in the final Top 10 rankings of the 2011-12 Learfield Director’s Cup Standings - symbolic of the nation’s top overall programs - as Florida State (5th), North Carolina (8th), Virginia (15th) and Duke (16th) all were ranked nationally in the Top 20. This past year also marked the 11th consecutive year that the ACC has placed four or more teams in the Top 30. A total of 126 ACC teams placed in NCAA postseason competition in 2011-12. League teams compiled a 118-73-5 (.614) mark against opponents in NCAA championship competition.

a hisTory The Atlantic Coast Conference was founded on May 8, 1953, at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro, N.C., with seven charter members - Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest - drawing up the conference by-laws. The withdrawal of seven schools from the Southern Conference came early on the morning of May 8, 1953, during the Southern Conference’s annual spring meeting. On June 14, 1953, the seven members met in Raleigh, N.C., where a set of bylaws was adopted and the name became officially the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Suggestions from fans for the name of the new conference appeared in the region’s newspapers prior to the meeting in Raleigh. Some of the names suggested were: Dixie, Mid South, Mid Atlantic, East Coast, Seaboard, Colonial, Tobacco, Blue-Gray, Piedmont, Southern Seven and the Shoreline. Duke’s Eddie Cameron recommended that the name of the conference be the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the motion was passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with each member institution assessed $200.00 to pay for conference expenses.

Boston College was founded in 1863 by the Society of Jesus to serve the sons of Boston’s Irish immigrants and was the first institution of higher education to be founded in the city of Boston. Originally located on Harrison Avenue in the South End of Boston, the College outgrew its urban setting toward the end of its first 50 years. A new location was selected in Chestnut Hill and ground for the new campus was broken on June 19, 1909. During the 1940s, new purchases doubled the size of the main campus. In 1974, Boston College acquired Newton College of the Sacred Heart, 1.5 miles away. With 15 buildings on 40 acres, it is now the site of the Law School and residence halls. In 2004, BC purchased 43 acres of land from the archdiocese of Boston; this now forms the Brighton campus.

Clemson University is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near the Georgia border, and the tiger paws painted on the roads make the return to I-85 easier. The school is built around Fort Hill, the plantation home of John C. Calhoun, Vice President to Andrew Jackson. His son-in-law, Tom Clemson, left the land to be used as an agricultural school, and in 1893 Clemson opened its doors as a land-grant school, thanks to the efforts of Ben Tillman.

Duke University was founded in 1924 by tobacco magnate James B. Duke as a memorial to his father, Washington Duke. Originally the school was called Trinity College, a Methodist institution, started in 1859. In 1892, Trinity moved to west Durham where the east campus with its Georgian architecture now stands. Nearby are Sarah P. Duke gardens, and further west the Gothic spires of Duke chapel overlook the west campus.

Florida State University is one of 11 universities of the State University System of Florida. It was established as the Seminary West of the Suwannee by an act of the Florida Legislature in 1851, and first offered instruction at the post-secondary level in 1857. Its Tallahassee campus has been the site of an institution of higher education longer than any other site in the state. In 1905, the Buckman Act reorganized higher education in the state and designated the Tallahassee school as the Florida Female College. In 1909, it was renamed Florida State College for Women. In 1947, the school returned to a co-educational status, and the name was changed to Florida State University.

Next to I-85 in downtown Atlanta stands the Georgia Institute of Technology, founded in 1885. Its first students came to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering, the only one offered at the time. Tech’s strength is not only the red clay of Georgia, but a restored gold and white 1930 model A Ford Cabriolet, the official mascot. The old Ford was first used in 1961, but a Ramblin’ Wreck had been around for over three decades. The Ramblin’ Wreck fight song appeared almost as soon as the school opened, and it is not only American boys that grow up singing its rollicking tune, for Richard Nixon and Nikita Krushchev sang it when they met in Moscow in 1959.

The University of Maryland opened in 1856 as an agricultural school nine miles north of Washington, D.C., on land belonging to Charles Calvert, a descendant of Lord Baltimore, the state’s founding father. The school colors are the same as the state flag: black and gold for George Calvert (Lord Baltimore) and red and white for his mother, Alice Crossland. Maryland has been called the school that Curley Byrd built, for he was its quarterback, then football coach, athletic director, assistant to the president, vice-president, and finally its president. Byrd also designed the football stadium and the campus layout, and suggested the nickname Terrapin, a local turtle known for its bite, when students wanted to replace the nickname Old Liners with a new one for the school.

The University of Miami was chartered in 1925 by a group of citizens who felt an institution of higher learning was needed for the development of their young and growing community. Since the first class of 560 students enrolled in the fall of 1926, the University has expanded to more than 15,000 undergraduate and graduate students from every state and more than 114 nations from around the world. The school’s colors, representative of the Florida orange tree, were selected in 1926. Orange symbolizes the fruit of the tree, green represents the leaves and white, the blossoms.

The University of North Carolina, located in Chapel Hill, has been called “the perfect college town,” making its tree-lined streets and balmy atmosphere what a college should look and feel like. Its inception in 1795 makes it one of the oldest schools in the nation, and its nickname of Tar Heels stems from the tar pitch and turpentine that were the state’s principal industry. The nickname is as old as the school, for it was born during the Revolutionary War when tar was dumped into the streams to impede the advance of British forces.

North Carolina State University is located in the state capital of Raleigh. It opened in 1889 as a land-grant agricultural and mechanical school and was known as A&M or Aggies or Farmers for over a quarter-century. The school’s colors of pink and blue were gone by 1895, brown and white were tried for a year, but the students finally chose red and white to represent the school. An unhappy fan in 1922 said State football players behaved like a pack of wolves, and the term that was coined in derision became a badge of honor.

The University of Virginia was founded in 1819 by Thomas Jefferson and is one of three things on his tombstone for which he wanted to be remembered. James Madison and James Monroe were on the board of governors in the early years. The Rotunda, a half-scale version of the Pantheon which faces the Lawn, is the focal point of the grounds as the campus is called. Jefferson wanted his school to educate leaders in practical affairs and public service, not just to train teachers.

Virginia Tech was established in 1872 as an all-male military school dedicated to the original land-grant mission of teaching agriculture and engineering. The University has grown from a small college of 132 students into the largest institution of higher education in the state during its 132-year history. Located in Southwest Virginia on a plateau between the Blue Ridge and Alleghany Mountains, the campus consists of 334 buildings and 20 miles of sidewalks over 2,600 acres. The official school colors - Chicago maroon and burnt orange - were selected in 1896 because they made a “unique combination” not worn elsewhere at the time.

Wake Forest University was started on Calvin Jones’ plantation amid the stately pine forest of Wake County in 1834. The Baptist seminary is still there, but the school was moved to Winston-Salem in 1956 on a site donated by Charles H. and Mary Reynolds Babcock. President Harry S. Truman attended the ground-breaking ceremonies that brought a picturesque campus of Georgian architecture and painted roofs. Wake’s colors have been black and gold since 1895, thanks to a badge designed by student John Heck who died before he graduated.

MarylanD clinched its eighth NCAA Championship with a 3-2 overtime victory against conference rival North Carolina on sophomore Jill Witmer’s game-winner in the 81st minute. North Carolina’s second goal of the game came with less than eight minutes remaining to give the Tar Heels a 2-0 lead. Freshman Katie Gerzabek got the Terrapins on the board in the 67th minute, and senior Jemma Buckley sent the game to overtime with a goal on a penalty corner with no time remaining. Witmer scored an unassisted tally on a long attack from midfield to win the national title. She was joined on the All-Tournament team by fellow Terrapins Buckley, Megan Frazer, and Harriet Tibble. It was Maryland’s third title in four years and its league-leading eighth overall. The championship game was an all-ACC affair for the fourth consecutive season and 11th overall. ACC teams have won the last 10 national titles and 17 overall since 1983. The Terrapins finished the season 19-4 overall. Maryland topped Iowa, Syracuse and Old Dominion to reach the title game, meeting No. 1 North Carolina in a rematch of the last two national championships. The Terrapins have now reached the semifinals in 15 of their 24 appearances in the national tournament and have also played in 11 title games.

norTh Carolina advanced to the NCAA Men’s College Cup for the fourth consecutive year and brought home the big prize. UNC claimed the program’s second NCAA title and the first since 2001 on Dec. 11, edging Charlotte 1-0 in the championship game at Hoover, Ala. Ben Speas, who had been named the Most Valuable Player of the ACC Championship less than one month earlier, scored the lone goal of the title match to earn College Cup Offensive MVP honors. The Tar Heels’ Carlos Somoano became just the second first-year head coach in NCAA history to claim a national title

and only the third to direct his team to at least 20 wins as UNC finished the season at 21-2-3. The Tar Heels’ 2011 national title was the 15th by an ACC team and the fourth in the last five year. A total of 45 ACC teams have reached the Men’s College Cup in the 53-year history of the event, and 22 have reached the title game. At least one ACC team has reached the College Cup each of the last 11 years. Led by ACC Defensive Player of the Year Matt Hedges, the 2011 Tar Heels allowed the 11th fewest goals in the nation and posted 12 shutouts while outscoring their opposition by a combined 58-18.

We’re proud of Ryan Hill, a very talented young man. He is committed and likes to win. It’s important to have student-athletes who are committed to the program and the University.” Hill became the 12th individual men’s ACC Cross Country Champion from NC State and the first since Chris Kollar, who won the gold medal in 2007.

ACC Tournament MVP Michael Snaer scored a team-high

18 points to lead the 17th-ranked FLorIDa State Seminoles to their first-ever ACC title with an 85-82 win over fourth-ranked North Carolina. Florida State shot 59 percent from the floor and placed four players in double-figures in the win. The third-seeded Seminoles made 11-of-22 from 3-point range and reached the championship game for the second time in four years following victories over Miami and No. 6 Duke. Snaer averaged 18.0 points, 3.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds and shot 19-of-32 from the floor (.594) in becoming the first Seminole to win the Everett Case Award. Harrison Barnes led North Carolina with 23 points, while Tyler Zeller had 19 points and 12 rebounds. North Carolina forward Tyler Zeller was voted the 2012 ACC Player of the Year after leading the Tar Heels to the 2012 regular-season title and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Zeller finished his senior season ranked fifth in the ACC in scoring (16.3), second in rebounding (9.6), second in field goal percentage (.553), eighth in free throw percentage (.808), eighth in blocked shots (1.5) and first in offensive rebounds (3.8).

The DuKe Blue Devils completed a perfect run through the Atlantic Coast Conference with a 4-2 win over rival North Carolina in the ACC Women’s Tennis Championship finale on April 22. In a title match played at the Wake Forest Tennis Center due to heavy rain at Cary (N.C.) Tennis Park, the Blue Devils extended a pair of conference records by claiming their 17th ACC Women’s Tennis Championship and their eighth under current head coach Jamie Ashworth. Freshman Beatrice Capra, the ACC Player and Freshman of the Year, added to her list of accolades by being named the Championship’s Most Valuable Player. Capra scored one of four Duke singles victories in the championship match as the top-seeded Blue Devils regrouped after dropping the doubles point. Duke’s three-match run through the ACC Championship followed an 11-0 showing in conference matches during the regular season. Capra, ranked second nationally most of the season and a five-time ACC Player of the Week, became the fourth women’s tennis player – and the third from Duke – to be named both the ACC Player of the Year and the ACC Freshman of the Year in the same season since the latter award was established in 1994. North Carolina’s Brian Kalbas was voted the ACC Women’s Tennis Coach of the Year for the third straight season. Kalbas led his team to a 10-1 mark in Atlantic Coast Conference play in addition to the runner-up finish in the ACC

NCAA ACTioN Four Atlantic Coast Conference women’s lacrosse teams were among the 16 programs selected to compete in the 2012 NCAA Division I Women’s Lacrosse Championship (Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia). Duke extended its consecutive NCAA appearance streak to 15 while the postseason bid marked Maryland’s nation-best 28th all-time appearance and 23rd consecutive. North Carolina made its eighth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and 14th overall, while Virginia was in the NCAA field for the 17th-straight year and 25th overall. Duke knocked off ACC foe Virginia

in first round action, while both Maryland and North Carolina advanced to the quarterfinals. Second-seeded Northwestern defeated Duke 12-7 in the next round while fourth-seeded Syracuse nipped North Carolina 17-16. Maryland upheld the ACC streak of being represented in every semifinal round since 1997 (the year the ACC began sponsoring women’s lacrosse) with a 17-11 quarterfinal victory over Loyola. Despite holding a halftime lead, Maryland would fall short of the title game for the first time since 2009 with a hard-fought 9-7 loss to Northwestern. The ACC’s women’s lacrosse programs continue to rank among the best in the country in terms of the NCAA Tournament. ACC teams have made 62 appearances in just 15 years, while winning 87 games, and owning seven NCAA crowns.

The Atlantic Coast Conference saw nine teams – Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Miami, North Carolina, NC State, Virginia and Wake Forest – ranked nationally for all or part of the regular season. That produced a balanced field for the 39th annual ACC Baseball Championship, which was held May 23-27 at NewBridge Bank Park in Greensboro, N.C. The balance of the conference was reflected in the championship game, which saw eighth-seeded GeorGIa teCH score an 8-5 win over sixth-seeded Miami in the title game. MVP Jake Davies hit four home runs, drove in 11 runs and delivered a solid starting pitching performance in a May 26 win over Clemson to help the Yellow Jackets become the lowest seed to capture the tournament title. Marquee honors for the regular season went to Player of the Year James Ramsey, the dynamic centerfielder who led Florida State to the Atlantic Division title, and NC State’s Carlos Rodon, who posted a 9-0 regular-season

record on the mound and became the first player to be named both the ACC Pitcher and ACC Freshman of the Year. FSU coach Mike Martin, whose team tied an ACC regular-season record for conference wins with 24, was voted the ACC Coach of the Year. Eleven ACC players – Ramsey, Rodon, Clemson third baseman Richie Shaffer, Duke pitcher Marcus Stroman, Florida State first baseman Jayce Boyd, second baseman Devon Travis and pitcher Robert Benincasa, North Carolina pitchers Kent Emanuel and Michael Morin, and NC State shortstop Chris Diaz and third baseman Trea Turner – were named to at least one All-America team.

In 2011-12 ACC student-athletes participated in many activities away from their sport. Combined, student-athletes put in countless hours in community service, leadership training, and professional development. BOSTON COLLEGE: SAAC hosted a Be the Match Bone Marrow Registry Drive, thanks in large part to the dedication of Board Officer and women’s ice hockey player, Libby Olchowski. The drive was held prior to the Thursday night football matchup with FSU to help raise awareness for the need for bone marrow matches for people fighting cancer. Prior to the start of the game, Libby presented a $2500 donation from SAAC to FSU Coach Jimbo Fisher’s Kidz 1st Fund to help find a cure for Fanconi Anemia in honor of Coach Fisher’s son Ethan. The student-athletes also cemented its

partnership with Boston College’s Campus School through the dedication of Julia Bouchelle from the women’s soccer team. The Campus School is a special education school on the Boston College campus for students age 3-21 with multiple disabilities and complex healthcare needs. Over thirty athletes attended Campus School Spirit Day where a $110,000 check was presented to support the amazing efforts of the school. Student-athletes from football, baseball, women’s soccer, skiing, men’s hockey, golf and tennis all came wearing their maroon and gold proudly to spend some time with the students and pump them up for their annual spirit day. CLEMSON: Clemson SAAC has been very involved with community service projects at the local Helping Hands shelter, as well as an ongoing project called Tiger Pals. Tiger Pals is pen pal program in which student-athletes write to children at Helping Hands, discussing what it means to Be A T.I.G.E.R. – Teamwork, Integrity, Gratitude, Education, Respect. They talk about these important chrematistic traits and how to use them in everyday life. Although it is was new program this fall, it ran very smoothly. It is bittersweet to lose children and get new children as they come and go to the home, but the student-athletes really enjoyed having the opportunity to work with kids who simply needed someone to look up to. DukE: First Year Mentor Program Mentors and Advancing Leaders team representatives were invited to the second annual “Grillen and Chillen” event. The “Grillen and Chillen” event challenged student-athletes in cooking, organization, leadership and teamwork skills. The large group was separated into 10 teams of students-athletes who were then assigned a grilling station equipped with various meal content options including: chicken, salmon, steak, veggies, etc . For the majority of the student-athletes it was their first time cooking on a grill which created some interesting experiences, resourcefulness and lots of laugh. Overall, everyone had a great time and the evening finished with teams eating their

cooked meal and learning the importance of teamwork, problem solving and various leadership roles from SAAC Advisor and Director of SA Development, Leslie Barnes and Dr Greg Dale, Sport Psychologist. FLOrIDA STATE: An idea borrowed by SAAC in 2009 from a series of Travelocity commercials where a garden gnome travels to vacation spots across the globe and sends snapshots of his travels back home. FSU’s SemiGnome traveled from team to team finding its way into the team picture during each designated community service event. The SemiGnome was established as a tangible way to pass the community service spirit throughout SAAC. Men’s Tennis player Anderson Reed stated, “The SemiGnome is a great concept that brings us together for a common purpose of serving the community. It is a great representation of our Seminole family. The SemiGnome adds an extra amount of fun to the event.” During each SAAC meeting a recap was given on the previous team’s community service project and a challenge was given to the next team. A new team took the SemiGnome and had two weeks to complete their service project and picture. GEORGIA TECH: The first year of the GTAA Leadership Academy was successful, with the understanding that it will be an evolving program and each year should create obvious paths to further enhance the concept of leadership development within the Athletic Association. The Student-Athlete Advisory Board (SAAB) played a huge role in encouraging and supporting the other student-athletes (primarily freshman) as they went through self-discovery and understanding of how they could help their team or group achieve great things by playing their role – whatever role that may be. The SAAB has served as facilitators for each training and kept the initiative going strong. MARyLAND: Backpack to Briefcase was a great way for student-athletes to gain invaluable tips from professionals. The event featured different stations that focused on improving students’ current resume, interviewing skills, networking techniques, professional dress and a station devoted to the website LinkedIn. Student-athletes received expert advice from professionals in the local community as well as recent graduates, who came to share their experiences in the job search process. Overall the event was a huge success and a great way for professionals to share some insider tips on inter-viewing and ultimately landing the perfect job. MIAMI: In the fall Miami engaged the local community with a day full of activities. Attendees were able to participate in such activities as jumping over hurdles and answering running trivia with the track and cross country team, volleying over the net with the tennis team, and shooting hoops with the basketball team. Thousands of people showed up from nearby. A fun activity that brought some attention was the dunk tank put on by the swim and dive team. The nearby local swimmers got a chance to dunk their idols and mentors, and there were only smiles from everyone wet or dry. The entire day was a huge show of support by the local community and U family, so much so that #IStandbytheU was the #5 most tweeted messages on twitter.com that day. NORTH CAROLINA: Carolina Dreams, a student-athlete group serving the North Carolina Children’s Hospital, hosted various events throughout the year. The group hosted children

from the UNC Hospitals and their families during two football games and a volleyball game in which the families spent time with student-athletes and enjoyed a light dinner. Carolina Dreams also developed a “Heel Date” program in which a child from the hospital who is well enough to experience a fun day out, was be selected to spend a day with a chosen Carolina student-athlete. NC STATE: Members from Women’s & Men’s track and field ventured to a local Raleigh middle school to speak to the students about the positive impacts of getting involved in sports. The student-athletes said they loved the experience and that the kids thought they were superstars because of their tall statures! Also, November is SAAC’s annual Sponsor a Family Thanksgiving service project. Here, each athletic team “adopts” a family in need and raises money to buy their adopted family Thanksgiving groceries. Before the student-athletes leave for Thanksgiving break, the groceries are hand-delivered to the families. As the fall semester ends, NC State SAAC will meet with the student body president, Chandler Thompson, to discuss how student-athletes can be more involved in various campus initiatives. VIRGINIA: Members of the Virginia women’s basketball team took part in two community service efforts during their basketball season, including visiting an elementary school profoundly affected by the August earthquake. The student-athletes broke into groups with the elementary school students and talked about the important characteristics of being on a team. Each child wrote their favorite teamwork trait on a leaf and then taped the leaves to a ‘Teamwork Tree.’ The Cavaliers then took an opportunity to put the teamwork traits to use and taught some basic basketball skills outside of the school. VIRGINIA TECH: In February, SAAC hosted a food drive at the Men’s Basketball game vs. University of Virginia to support Micah’s Backpack. Women’s Soccer team representative Katie Cramp was instrumental in organizing the event. Micah’s Backpack addresses children’s hunger issues by partnering with local schools to provide direct assistance to students and families who qualify for the free lunch program. Each week during the school year, the identified students receive a backpack filled with enough food for the weekend. The baseball team also organized a Micah’s Backpack fundraiser during the games against Duke, March 23-25, as part of their “19 Ways” initiative. Fans were encouraged to bring nonperishable food items to the game to help the team pack as many backpacks as possible. On April 20, 2012 Virginia Tech hosted its annual Relay for Life event and several athletic teams were registered including women’s soccer, women’s tennis and volleyball. The teams raised over $3000 for the event and had a strong student-athlete presence. WAKE FOrEST: One of our most popular programs during the year was “Eat with the Deacs”, which brings underprivileged school groups to campus for a tour and dinner. Participating groups came from the Salvation Army, Big Brothers Big Sister, and a local organization called Next Level Academic Enrichment. To honor the late men’s basketball coach Skip Prosser, Wake Forest continued the Skip Prosser Literacy Program this year. Through this program, student-athletes went to local elementary schools to read to the kids and encourage them in the ways of scholarship. The whole university was involved in Hit the Bricks, which raised money for the Brian Piccolo Cancer Fund. Student groups signed up and ran the oval brick sidewalk on the quad as many times as possible throughout the day. Now in its eighth year, students have totaled more than 100,000 laps around the quad. Several of the WFU athletic teams participate each year.

S ’ACC COmmuNITy CONNeCTIONs’ The Atlantic Coast Conference’s “Community Connections” program, in its second year of implementation, continued its success by sponsoring educational activities and donating books in conjunction with 16 conference championships across five states. The program reached over a dozen schools and youth programs across Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. “The ACC Community Connections program continues to be a terrific way for our student-athletes and member schools to give back to the communities that host ACC Championships,” said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. “The second year of this program has allowed more of our student-athletes the opportunity to serve as mentors and leaders while teaching lessons of teamwork, adversity, competition, sportsmanship, triumph and defeat throughout our league’s footprint.” The initiative aims to teach life lessons to elementary and middle school students in the communities in which the league holds its conference championships. This year, team representatives from ACC member institutions either traveled to elementary schools in the area or

had schools and youth programs visit the championships sites to discuss topics such as the importance of healthy living and sportsmanship. The outreach sessions consisted of both a reading and question-and-answer session with ACC team representatives. An educational handout was also distributed to the students that highlighted points of emphasis and quotations from the student-athletes. The handout also provided the opportunity to gain free or discounted admission to the respective championship. The league-wide initiative first launched at the 2010 ACC Cross Country Championships in Boston, Mass. Since that time, more than 500 books have been donated by the ACC and its member institutions to elementary schools and organizations, including the YMCA. During the 2011-12 academic year, 161 student-athletes participated in the program and had the chance to interact with over 2,265 kids. In addition, 294 books were donated to the 14 communities. One of the final “Community Connections” during the 2011-12 academic year occurred at the ACC Baseball Championship at NewBridge Bank Park in Greensboro, N.C., with over 1,000 local elementary and middle school students visiting the stadium over three days to participate in various activities with team representatives. The schools and organizations involved in “ACC Community Connections” for 2011-12 were: Central Elementary (Central, SC), Wirt Middle (Riverdale, MD), Kingswood (Cary, NC), Cary YMCA (Cary, NC), Falling Branch (Christiansburg, VA), YMCA of Boston (Boston, MA), Porter Graham (Chapel Hill, NC), Cone (Greensboro, NC), Hollymead (Charlottesville, VA), SW Durham (Durham, NC), Greenhope (Cary, NC), CIS of Montgomery (Troy, NC), Blue Ridge (Seneca, SC), and New Hope (Chapel Hill, NC).

The Atlantic Coast Conference continues to implement various initiatives in Sportsmanship including the emphasis on the importance of good sportsmanship at every level of the Conference including student-athletes, coaches, officials, administrators, fans, friends and alumni. This past year the ACC reinforced the role of officiating in maintaining an atmosphere of good sportsmanship. The ACC continues to develop public service announcements emphasizing the role of respect and sportsmanship while participating in collegiate athletics. Educational emphasis with all of the ACC’s administrators, coaches and student-athletes was continued, and the league further refined a reporting and recording system to more accurately assess sportsmanship problems which might exist. For the 2011-12 year, the conference is proud to report 100% participation by the institutions.

ACC sPORTsmANshIP sChOOl Of The yeAR AwARDs Prior to the 2008-09 academic year, the ACC awarded a sportsmanship award for each of its 25 sponsored sports. The concept of these awards was created by the ACC Student Athlete Advisory Committee in an effort to recognize teams who earned the utmost regard from their peers during competition. As is stated in the conference’s Mission Statement, “It [the ACC] strongly adheres to the principles of integrity and sportsmanship, and supports the total development of the student-athlete and each member institution’s athletics department staff, with the intent of producing enlightened leadership for tomorrow.” Teams receiving the award conducted themselves with a high degree of character and good sportsmanship, as determined by a vote of the league’s teams.

This year’s ACC Sportsmanship Awards went to Maryland wrestling student-athlete Shane Gentry for the individual award while the team award went to Maryland Gymnastics. Gentry, a sophomore from Stafford, Va., is honored for his display of sportsmanship during the 2012 ACC Wrestling Championship. In a critical match between Gentry and Virginia’s Matt Snyder, Gentry trailed Snyder 3-0, Gentry began to mount a comeback until the referee signed a two-point takedown by Snyder. He showed great restraint and sportsmanship when the official’s call was not in his favor. The Maryland Gymnastics team is awarded for their acts of sportsmanship during the NCAA Championship.

The team as a whole congratulated fellow East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) member the University of New Hampshire, with good luck Easter baskets prior to the NCAA Regionals. In addition to honoring UNH, they sent baskets to individual event qualifiers. The ACC Sportsmanship Award winners were selected from institutional nominees submitted by each school’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and their advisors. To be considered, nominees must consistently demonstrate good sportsmanship and ethical behavior in his/her participation in intercollegiate athletics as well is in the community, and be in good academic standing.

The ACC expanded its Sportsmanship Awareness Weeks to one week during the fall, winter and spring seasons. The ACC Sportsmanship Awareness Weeks are a campaign to emphasize and promote sportsmanship as it relates to our teams, conference and fans. During the weeks of October 17-23 (Fall), January 23-29 (Winter) and April 9-14 (Spring), every league team showcased its continued dedication to sportsmanship by participating in a pregame handshake prior to each contest. In addition to the teams’ efforts,

the conference and member schools highlighted the program to its fans through releases, across social media platforms, videos elements and official websites. “Sportsmanship continues to be a priority within the ACC and the growth of this initiative will be a great way to further highlight and emphasize its importance,” said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. More than 165 events were a part of the 2011-12 Sportsmanship Awareness Weeks which reached nearly all 25 ACC sponsored sports.

Academics are central. Building upon familiarity and identity nurtured by athletic competition, academic collaborations are supported by a special fund within the conference budget. In their 10th year, these programs emphasize initiatives at the core of undergraduate learning, and initiatives that can best be pursued by many universities working together. They are open to all students (including non-athletes). 2011-12 programming of the ACCIAC highlighted community service (water matters), global awareness, and university research. Pictured is the ACCIAC’s new website where each program is detailed (See http://acciac.org).

water matters: an ACCIAC Initiative. In February 2012 nearly 100 student leaders from all 12 universities came together in Chapel Hill to share expertise and devise action strategies. The focus was clean water for the world. In addition to workshops led by clean water activists and university faculty, conferees toured the Chapel Hill Water Purification Plant and shared information about successful leadership strategies. Great credit is due to the conference organizers who deepened and extended the impact of the get-together through pre-conference networking and post-conference Facebook-based follow-ups. Last year’s very successful conference, at Georgia Tech, emphasized socially-motivated business start-ups. Boston College will host the conference in 2013. A special taskforce of leadership coordinators, working via conference calls, is articulating guidelines for these continuing conferences. Their supervisors, the 12 ACC vice presidents for student affairs, continue to be among the most active “affinity” groups, with their June 2012 meeting at the University of Maryland.

Global Awareness: an ACCIAC Initiative. In the past 6 years nearly 300 undergraduate students, including 52 in 2011-12, have been supported by at least $1000 (each) funding from the ACC’s Global Scholarship Program. Each of these students has pursued a degree-credit experience abroad that is distinctively appropriate for their academic program. In addition, since the summer of 2008, ACC student athletes (32 in Summer 2012) have each spent 3 summer weeks in Vietnam. The intent of this Coach for College Program (initiated by a former Duke student) is, through the inter-cultural teaching of sport, to motivate hundreds of Vietnamese middle school students to continue their studies and aspire to a university education.

Research Opportunities: An ACCIAC Initiative. The ACC’s opportunity is expressed well by the leader of our newest initiative. “The ACC Clean Energy Challenge was a perfect way to show pride in our individual ACC schools while still working together and leveraging our collective strengths as a conference, but not just in sports,” said Dean Chang, director of venture programs for the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute (Mtech) at the University of Maryland and principal investigator for the ACC Clean Energy Challenge. “The ACC is the top-rated BCS conference in the country in terms of the average ranking of all its member universities and annually

conducts over $4 billion in cutting-edge research. So there’s no reason the ACC should be any less successful with fuel cells compared to football, or batteries compared to basketball, or solar cells compared to soccer.” The ACC Clean Energy Challenge is an annual competition, administered by a consortium of ACC universities and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy. Each year, for five years, the winning student team receives $100,000. Pictured here are this year’s finalists: University of Central Florida (winner), University of Maryland, University of Virginia, and Georgia Tech. Along with the Global Scholarship Program, the annual Undergraduate Research Conference is the ACCIAC’s longest-running program. Hosted this year by Virginia Tech, 73 undergraduate researchers presented their papers in both oral and poster sessions. Pictured here is the Florida State delegation. Next year’s conference will be at Wake Forest. The ACCIAC’s largest financial commitment is to the Creativity and Innovation Fellowships. Each university has customized its program maximally to enhance creative efforts of highly talented undergraduate students. The winners of the prize funded by ACCIAC are patenting an extraordinarily precise and pressure sensitive capacitive stylus.

K The Atlantic Coast Conference and Raycom Sports partnered to develop and launch the ACC Vault, a website that features full-length ACC men’s basketball and football games. The ACC Vault is powered by Thought Equity Motion, a leading provider of video platform and rights development services. The ACC Vault features videos dating back to 1983, including every ACC Tournament Championship Game. It is an online video archive of full-length men’s basketball and football games from all 12 ACC member institutions. With a comprehensive and easy to navigate design, the ACC Vault allows fans to access and view many of the greatest television moments in ACC Basketball history. The games have been coded within the ACC Vault in play-by-play detail, enabling fans to jump to specific game moments, view the video, and share via Facebook, Twitter, email and other social channels. Users can also explore categories such as great blocks, great finishes, and ACC Stars. In addition to games, the Vault includes special features, such as classic interviews with iconic coaches and players. The ACC Vault was expanded to include “Instant Classic” games from the current

seasons as they occur. If a memorable game happens; you can find it on the ACC Vault. The ACC Vault also includes a Video Media Guide & Link Database, which provides direct URLs to every moment within the site. Sports writers and bloggers can access this database and link to relevant moments in articles and blogs.

The ACC Digital Network (ACCDN) is a joint venture between Raycom Sports and Silver Chalice. The television-quality, cross-platform digital video network provides distribution of ACC content, and the ACC brand, through one of the premiere video platforms on the web. The ACCDN produces news, analysis, and highlight specific videos covering all sports throughout the ACC, and features both live programming and original content throughout the entire year. This fall, the ACCDN will begin live streaming pre-and post-game studio “Gameday” coverage on Saturdays, providing fans with news, highlights and analysis of every team in the conference. The ACCDN has also launched unique partnerships with YouTube and Facebook to create additional distribution outlets to feature ACC content.

In 2011, theACC.com began developing original content geared towards their dedicated fan-base. A prime example of this effort was ‘ACC Legends’. This online repository lets fans learn more about the great players of the ACC. Currently, there are areas for Football and Men’s & Women’s Basketball Legends Classes. This showcase assures that these great players and coaches will never be forgotten. With the world following the Olympics, the conference created an ‘ACC in London 2012’ section, which chronicled every

current and former ACC member’s participation in the 2012 Olympic Summer Games. Additional fresh content throughout the past year included ACC Headlines, which aggregates the best stories about the ACC and its student-athletes from around the web, and the ACC Power Poll, which ranks the teams of the ACC in Basketball and Football. The ACC Network PowerPoll is voted on by over 30 conference experts from the ACC Network, ACC Digital Network and theACC.com.

Revenue streams from football, men’s basketball, bowl contracts, and the NCAA increased from the previous operating year. A second ACC team in the Bowl Championship Series provided a significant increase in the overall bowl revenue which was distributed equally among all Conference members. In addition, the Conference reimburses member schools for expenses related to their participation in all ACC championships. These reimbursement amounts are not included in annual distribution reports for Conference institutions. A 12-year television contract beginning in 2011-12 provided significant revenue increases for the year from the previous year. A new 15- year television agreement with ESPN was renegotiated during the year and will provide even more enhanced revenue proceeds beginning in 2012-13.

SDiverse: Issues in Higher Education sponsors the Arthur Ashe, Jr. Sports Scholar Awards to honor undergraduate students who have excelled in the classroom as well as on the athletic field. Inspired by tennis legend Arthur Ashe, Jr.’s commitment to education as well as his love for the game of tennis, U.S. colleges and universities are invited to participate in this annual awards program by nominating their outstanding sports scholars. In addition to their athletic ability and academic performance, Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars demonstrate a commitment to community service and community activism.

The NCAA awards up to 174 postgraduate scholarships annually, 87 for men and 87 for women. The scholarships are awarded to student-athletes who excel academically and athletically and who are in their final year of intercollegiate athletics competition. The one-time

grants of $7,500 each are awarded for fall sports, winter sports and spring sports. Each sports season (fall, winter and spring), there are 29 scholarships available for men and 29 scholarships available for women. The scholarships are one-time, non-renewable grants.

The NCAA Woman of the Year Award honors graduating student-athletes who have distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in the areas of academic achievement, athletics excellence, community service, and leadership. This year’s ACC nominees were Kimberly Williams, Florida State Women’s Track & Field and Sarah Borchelt, Virginia Rowing, pictured at right. Other nominees from ACC institutions were Rebecca Ward, Duke Women’s Fencing and Jess Panza, NC State Women’s Gymnastics.

Eight ACC student-athletes were chosen among the 174 postgraduate scholarships:

TRACKING TRADITION

The Elite 89, an award founded by the NCAA, recognizes the true essence of the student-athlete by honoring the individual who has reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level in his or her sport, while also achieving the highest academic standard among his or her peers. The Elite 89 is presented to the

student-athletes with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA’s 89 championships. This year, four ACC student-athletes took home awards for their respective sports:

Winners are selected in each of the 12 NCAA-sanctioned sports by voting among 1,000 NCAA member schools and the board of directors of the Collegiate Women Sports Awards Program. Each woman is selected not only for her superior athletic skills, but also for her leadership abilities, academic excellence and eagerness to participate in community service.

The Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award is presented each year to the outstanding senior NCAA Division I Student-Athlete of the Year across nine different sports. The acronym “CLASS” stands for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®. The Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award celebrates the loyalty of seniors that honor a four-year commitment to their university. The Senior CLASS Award® recognizes these student-athletes for great achievement during competition and in their community while staying in school. Award winners are determined by a selection process that includes NCAA Division I college coaches in each respective sport, national media and fans. The voting process determines the winner in addition to a Senior CLASS All-America Team.

The Honda Inspiration Award is given to a female athlete who has overcome hardship and was able to return to play at the collegiate level. A call for nominations to all SWAs, Sports Information Directors and Athletic Directors of all NCAA-sanctioned schools provides the candidates for this award. A special committee of the CWSA Board reads all the submitted materials for these candidates and narrows down the field to the most worthy candidates. Then the entire Board of Directors chooses the Inspiration Award winner.

• The Atlantic Coast Conference was founded on May 8, 1953, at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro, N.C. with seven charter members - Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, NC State, South Carolina and Wake Forest - drawing up the conference by-laws. On December 4, 1953, conference officials met again at Sedgefield and officially admitted the University of Virginia as the league’s eighth member. The first, and only, withdrawal of a school from the ACC came on June 30, 1971 when the University of South Carolina tendered its resignation. The ACC operated with seven members until April 3, 1978 when the Georgia Institute of Technology was admitted. The ACC expanded to nine members on July 1, 1991, with the addition of Florida State University. The conference then expanded to 11 members on July 1, 2004, with the addition of the University of Miami and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. On October 17, 2003, Boston College accepted an invitation to become the league’s 12th member starting with the 2005-06 academic year. On September 18, 2011, the Atlantic Coast Conference Council of Presidents unanimously voted to accept the University of Pittsburgh and Syracuse University as new members. Their inclusion will begin by July 1, 2013.

• ACC Postgraduate Scholarships: The Weaver-James-Corrigan and Jim and Pat Thacker scholarships are awarded to selected student-athletes--three from each league institution--who intend to pursue a graduate degree following completion of their undergraduate requirements. Each recipient receives $5,000 to contribute to their graduate education. Each recipient has performed with distinction in both the classroom and in his/her respective sport, while also demonstrating exemplary conduct in the community. In addition, four student-athletes who intend to compete at the Olympic or professional level receive Weaver-James-Corrigan Honorary Awards in recognition of their outstanding performance in both athletic competition and the classroom throughout their collegiate careers.

• Honda Award Winners are selected in each of the 12 NCAA-sanctioned sports by voting among 1,000 NCAA member schools and the board of directors of the Collegiate Women Sports Awards Program. Each woman is selected not only for her superior athletic skills, but also for her leadership abilities, academic excellence and eagerness to participate in community service. The ACC member institutions have had 52 student-athletes earn the top award in their respective sport.

• In 2011-12, the ACC placed two schools in the Top 10 of the final Division I Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup Standings: Florida State and North Carolina. This marked the eleventh consecutive year that the ACC has placed four or more teams in the Top 30.
