2009-10 Georgia Tech Annual Report

2 0 0 9 - 1 0 G e o r G i a t e c h a n n u a l r e p o r t

This is a very special edition of our Annual Report in that we have just completed perhaps the most successful athletic year from a win-loss standpoint in modern history. Our ACC Football Championship and berth in the FedEx Orange Bowl was a catalyst for the entire program. All told -- in team sports with countable win-loss records -- Georgia Tech teams won 213 games and lost only 80. This represents a winning percentage of .727.

Just how good is that historically?

We went back 30 years to make a comparison. And what we found was that this athletic year is the best overall by a considerable margin. Only once in that span had our teams managed to win 70 percent of their contests (exactly .700 in 2004-05). Only once before in that span had our teams topped the 200-win mark (201 in 2003-04). Also, only one other time during that span had Georgia Tech captured four ACC Championships matching this year’s effort.

While we can all take great pride in this type of athletic success, we must never lose sight of the fact that we are challenged to educate these young people academically at the highest level. The Academic Progress Report released in June by the NCAA reveals that the majority of Georgia Tech’s athletic teams are excelling in the classroom as well as on the fields and courts.

The APR numbers are based on a multi-year rate and showed several of our teams performing at a national level in the top 10 percent. To see our overall scores improve for a third straight year is very encouraging. It’s a tribute to our student-athletes, coaches and staff. At the same time, we will continue to strive to raise our numbers each and every year.

Rest assured, none of this would have been possible without the tremendous support we receive from the Georgia Tech community. Our alumni, friends and fans are the driving force behind our ability to get the very best from these student-athletes. It is your support in the way of gifts, ticket purchases and other means that allows us to provide the goods and services to sustain a program that should make each and every one of us extremely proud.

It is very obvious that Georgia Tech is a special place that attracts not only the finest athletes in our state, region and across the nation, but young people that are uniquely qualified to not only compete athletically at the highest level, but to perform academically. We are so proud that our student-athletes accept the challenge of representing us on the fields and courts, but also work equally as hard to achieve the ultimate goal – a degree from Georgia Tech!

I hope you find this publication both interesting and informative. As we look back at the 2009-10 season we can’t help but be excited about the prospects for the year to come. I hope to see each of you often during the coming months as we enjoy another great year in support of Georgia Tech Athletics!

Sincerely,

Dan RaDakovichDirector of Athletics

total PersoN ProGraMAt Georgia Tech, the day the cheering stops

will still be a time of celebration. A student-athlete’s playing days will end, but the Total Person Program ensures that Yellow Jacket student-athletes will be prepared for the career and personal changes ahead.

Through this multifaceted program, the brainchild of retired Director of Athletics Dr. Homer Rice, Rambling Wreck student-athletes have the opportunity to learn the elements of success beyond the classroom or playing field. They gain skills that remain with them for a lifetime, preparing for the career and personal challenges ahead.

During his 17-year tenure from 1980-1997, Rice rebuilt Georgia Tech’s athletic fortunes with an emphasis not just in fund-raising and facilities, but in equally important areas such as academic support and life skills.

Since Rice started the Total Person Program in 1980, it has developed into the most comprehensive student-athlete support system in the country. Rice’s model has been adopted nationwide as the foundation for NCAA’s Life Skills Program. Because of the success of the Total

Person Program, Georgia Tech was one of the three schools chosen to consult with the NCAA on this project.

Addressing virtually every area of a well rounded educational experience, the Total Person Program, under the direction of Leah Thomas, focuses on the following components:

• Academic Support and Degree Completion• Personal Growth & Development• Career Planning and Placement• Counseling and Wellness• Leadership• Honors• Community Outreach

studeNt-athlete advisory Board aNd coMMuNity outreach

The Student-Athlete Advisory Board (SAAB) is a committee of student-athletes representing each sports team within the Georgia Tech Athletic Association. The SAAB is a bridge linking student-athlete concerns with the GTAA administration. Along with major community service projects involving multiple teams, the board is called upon to give input on improving student-athlete welfare at Georgia Tech.

This year’s SAAB continues it’s focus on facilitating better communication to all GTAA staff and student-athletes. “Outside AthleTECHS, Inside the Edge”, the SAAB monthly newsletter, continues to help with overall awareness with the happenings around the athletic association, and the once per semester Town Hall Meetings promote increased involvement with student-athletes. The SAAB provides vital input on student-athlete support services to all Georgia Tech student-athletes. Under the direction of the SAAB the Tech student-athletes participated in an array of community outreach projects this last year which included:

KiPP strive academy community day – Members of men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as football, conducted a field day for KIPP students while the Boston Consulting Group worked to clean up the building that this charter school was moving into for their inaugural year.

toy drive – The 9th Annual Michael Isenhour toy drive was conducted at football, men’s and women’s basketball games. The United States Marines again teamed up with the student-athletes to collect toys for the Toys for Tots program and

local Atlanta charities.

special olympics – Members of football, baseball, cheerleading, volleyball, women’s tennis, golf, softball, and women’s & men’s track acted as Grand Marshalls for the opening ceremonies of the Georgia Indoor Winter Games held at the Cobb County Civic Center. They escorted Special Olympic Athletes into the arena to be recognized, from across the whole state of Georgia. The following day, the same student-athletes supplied volunteers for the roller skating competition.

relay for life – Men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams participated in Relay for Life in collaboration with the Georgia Tech campus.

children’s healthcare of atlanta – Baseball players participated in the Halloween patient party at Egleston Children’s Hospital.

cedar ridge elementary school – Football players made an appearance at Cedar Ridge Elementary School in Dalton, GA for the end of the week pep rally.

team Buzz – Student-athletes from all sports did clean up work (both inside and outside) at the Jerusalem House near Decatur, GA. The house serves as a home for women and children who are affected by AIDS.

atlanta soup Kitchen – Men’s swimming & diving teams sorted and packed food.

hearN acadeMic ceNter

Conveniently located on the third floor of the Edge Athletics Center, the Andrew Hearn, Sr. Academic Center houses academic staff and facilities to support the academic endeavors of Tech student-athletes. The academic support program is under the direction of Associate Director of Athletics Phyllis LaBaw.

The Hearn Center, which originally opened in 1984, has been expanded several times and now includes over 5,000 square feet of open and self-contained work areas. The Center support services include tutoring, academic advising, academic coaching, and study hall.

Study and tutoring rooms vary in size and offer secluded environments in which to work. The tutorial programs offers assistance in subjects and classes ranging from biology to advance engineering courses and are scheduled daily throughout the Center. The extent of this support is clearly reflected in the Spring of 2010 tutoring statistics whereby:

• 50 total courses tutored• 150 student-athletes tutored• 40 tutors employed• 183 tutoring sessions per week• 2745 tutoring sessions per semester

The addition of the Technology Center in the Fall of 2007 added valuable space to the daily operations of student-athlete support services. The 5,000 square foot learning area is located on the ground floor of the Edge Building and features:

• State of the art computer lab with 48 computer work stations

• 11 4-person study carrels, plus 14 individual study carrels

• Study lounge with 2 group reading areas• Plasma TV to display upcoming events and

Yellow Jacket accolades/highlights

This space was also used for concurrent registration classes that were offered through Georgia Perimeter College and Atlanta Metro College. The space allowed for the student-athletes registered for these classes to have a designated meeting place and time, despite the face that these courses were on-line courses. It allowed the academic staff to oversee and better control the progress that the student-athletes made during the course of the semester.

The 2009-10 academic year was one of the most successful campaigns in nearly 120 years of Georgia Tech athletics:

• Yellow Jacket teams combined to produce a won-loss record of 213-80 (.727), the highest winning percentage at Georgia Tech in modern history.

• Georgia Tech participated in NCAA postseason play and/or bowl games in football, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s tennis, volleyball, baseball, softball and golf.

• Tech was the only school in the country to play in a BCS bowl game (Orange Bowl), host an NCAA baseball regional and advance to the second round of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

• The Yellow Jackets won four ACC championships – in football, golf, softball and women’s tennis.

• Academically, Georgia Tech’s Academic Progress Report (APR) scores improved significantly for the third consecutive year. Five Yellow Jacket teams were recognized nationally by the NCAA for producing an APR score that ranked among the top 10 percent in each respective sport.

• The football team won the ACC championship outright for the first time since 1990, played in a bowl game for

the 13th straight year, two Yellow Jackets were taken in the first round of the NFL draft, and Paul Johnson became the first coach ever to be named ACC Coach of the Year in his first two seasons in the conference.

• The men’s and women’s basketball teams both won 23 games and both earned NCAA Tournament bids. Coach Paul Hewitt’s team advanced to the championship game of the ACC Tournament.

• The baseball and softball teams both earned top-eight national seeds and hosted NCAA regionals. Women’s tennis also hosted NCAA 1st- and 2nd-round matches.

• The baseball team produced a school record-tying 10 draft picks.

• The ACC champion golf team advanced to the final eight of the NCAA championships.

• The volleyball team, under first-year coach Tonya Johnson, earned the program’s first NCAA bid since 2004.

• Men’s swimming (Gal Nevo) and men’s track and field (Alphonso Jordan and Steve Marcelle) produced some of the most successful and most decorated athletes in those sports’ history at Tech.

The construction of new facilities or upgrades to existing ones has continued to be a focus.

This past year, director of athletics Dan Radakovich began laying the groundwork for a proposed basketball replacement facility that will eventually be one of the top basketball complexes in the ACC. The previous year, Shirley Clements Mewborn Field, home for Tech’s softball program, was unveiled prior to the start of the 2009 season and was ultimately showcased on ESPN when the Yellow Jackets hosted an NCAA Super Regional.

The Zelnak Center, a practice facility for Georgia Tech basketball, opened for the beginning of pre-season practice, just six months after ground was broken. Bobby Dodd Stadium continues to receive cosmetic and functional upgrades, including a new video board last fall. Other facility upgrades that have occurred include the transformation of Tech’s former football locker room on the ground floor of the Edge Athletic Center into a new Technology Center, which benefits academic support services for all Yellow Jacket student-athletes.

financialsThe GTAA sustained a manageable net

loss in FY 10 due primarily to unbudgeted expenses that resulted from post season appearances earned by many of Georgia Tech’s teams. The business operations of the department have been adjusted in light of the challenging national economic environment which also impacted FY 10 financial performance. As a result of these efforts, the GTAA is now in a stable financial position.

financials

As part of an ongoing process, the Athletic Association Board of Trustees’ Finance committee studied various models for the future with a key data point being the optimum fund balance total for the Athletic Association. Due to the strong rebound of the Georgia Tech Foundation investment base in which GTAA surplus funds are deposited, the Athletic Association’s fund balance increased $122,000 in FY 10. The current balance of $4,415,905 puts the GTAA in range of the optimal fund balance targeted by the Finance Committee.

Overall financial performance was strong enough to allow for a significant reduction in the amount of endowment funds drawn to support scholarship expenses. As a result, the

AT Fund’s overall endowment base will grow approximately 4% in FY 10.

The growing surplus and endowment funds, accompanied by the growth of funds

that support current and future facility enhancements provide the financial foundation necessary to assure Georgia Tech student athletes continue to succeed on and off the field of competition.

The Alexander-Tharpe Fund (A-T) continues to be the primary fund-raising arm of the GTAA. New gifts and commitments to A-T for FY 2010 were in excess of $15 million. We are extremely grateful to our friends and fans of GT athletics for their financial support.

Gifts and commitments fall into three categories: endowments, facility gifts and current operations. The priority for FY 2011 will continue to be scholarship endowments and current operations through annual gifts to A-T. A-T continues on the very ambitious goal

of fully endowing scholarships for all student-athletes at Tech within the decade. The A-T will also continue raising money to maintain our athletic facilities, allowing us to recruit and train student-athletes of the highest caliber.
