2009-10 NotebookBlue Raiders earn program’s highest seedThe NCAA Men’s Golf Selection committee was impressed with the Blue Raiders’ 2009-10

season enough to give them a No. 7 seed at the Gold Mountain Regional. That ranked as

the highest seed ever for the Middle Tennessee program. In 2000, MT was seeded 14th,

then in 2008 had a No. 19 seed, and in 2009 came into the fi eld with a No. 11 seed.

Gold Mountain Regional among the toughestThe NCAA Men’s Golf Gold Mountain Regional featured some of the nation’s premier

teams, including six of the top 32 in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings. Pac-10

Champion Washington had a No. 4 national ranking, while Southern Cal was ranked

10th, and Illinois 11th. The Blue Raiders faced Illinois earlier in the season at the Crooked

Stick Invitational where the Illini won and the Raiders came in second. Oregon State entered the tournament ranked 25th, Colorado State was 26th, and San Diego was

ranked 32nd. Overall, four conference champions competed in the Gold Mountain Regional.

Impressive recordMiddle Tennessee fi nished the 2009-10 season with an overall record of 141 wins, 22 losses, and 1 tie. The Blue Raiders were also 58-25-1 against the Top 100.

Blue Raiders get program’s highest rankingAfter a fall season that saw the Middle Tennessee men’s golf team win two major tournaments in dramatic come-from-behind fashion, the Blue Raiders were rewarded

in mid-November with their fi rst Top 25 national ranking in the Division I era. The poll, by GolfStat.com, was released on Nov. 11 with the Blue Raiders coming in at No.

25.

Comeback KidsMiddle Tennessee won three tournaments during the season and all three were in dramatic fashion. The Blue Raiders came from 11 strokes down in the fi nal round to

win the Mason Rudolph in the fall and then a few weeks later won the Aldila Scenic Invite after entering the fi nal round nine strokes down. On April 13, Middle Tennes-

see made up a 12 stroke defi cit to win the ASU Red Wolf Classic. “I have said all year that this was one of the most mentally tough teams in the country and they have

proved me right all year long,” said Head Coach Whit Turnbow.

Bulle, Millard, Green make all-conferenceMiddle Tennessee placed three players on the 2010 All-Sun Belt Conference First Team. Senior Kent Bulle made the team for the fi rst time in his career as did sophomore

Hunter Green. Junior Jason Millard earned all-conference recognition for the second consecutive season.

3 in a rowSenior Kent Bulle and junior Jason Millard joined former Blue Raider Chas Narramore

as the only players in school history to compete in three straight NCAA Regionals. Nar-

ramore, now an assistant coach, was the fi rst to accomplish the feat in 2009.

Bulle named Golfer of the MonthMiddle Tennessee senior Kent Bulle was named the Sun Belt Conference Co-Golfer of the

Month for February. It marked the second honor for Bulle as he also won the award in

February of 2009 as well. Bulle earned Co-Medalist honors at the Mobile Bay Intercol-

legiate for his fourth career win. Bulle led from start to fi nish as he opened with a 67 in

the fi rst round to equal the second-best round of his career. He led the entire fi eld with

14 birdies as the Blue Raiders grabbed another top fi ve fi nish by placing fi fth in the fi rst

tournament of the spring season.

Millard owns team’s top roundsJason Millard, who owns a career-best round of 65, turned in the Blue Raiders’ top two

scoring rounds for 2009-10. The junior from Murfreesboro, Tenn., carded a 66 at the 2009

Mason Rudolph and matched that round when he won the 2010 ASU Red Wolf Classic. The

MT record for low round is Emile Vaughn’s 64 in the 1977 Tennessee Intercollegiate.

18 seasons and coached Turnbow. Massaro pointed

toward Turnbow’s leadership, recruiting ability and

maturity when making the decision to elevate him to

head coach.

“Whit has demonstrated exceptional leadership

skills and proven to be a great recruiter as evidenced

by the current group of Blue Raider golfers that he

was responsible for recruiting and signing,” Massaro

said. “I believe Blue Raider fans are going to be

pleased with the manner in which Whit leads this

program. He has had the opportunity to play for and

coach with a great mentor in Johnny Moore, who

allowed Whit to handle more and more of the day-

to-day responsibilities of running a program through

the years, which has helped prepare him for this job.”

Turnbow’s Blue Raiders turned in a 38-19 mark

against a rigorous fall schedule in 2007-08, capturing

a team championship at the Jaguar Intercollegiate

and fi nishing fi fth out of 17 teams in the fall opener

at the Scenic City Invitational. Turnbow’s team came

up big in its second tournament under him as a head

coach when it shot an astounding 38-under 826 on

the way to shattering the previous school record of

853 for best three-round tournament.

Turnbow was responsible for recruiting and signing

each Blue Raider golfer in the program in 2007 when

WHITTURNBOWHead Coach

4th season Two-time SBC Coach of the YearMiddle Tennessee, 2000

As he enters his fourth season at the helm, Whit

Turnbow has led the Middle Tennessee golf program

to unprecedented success with three straight NCAA

appearances. Turnbow was named the program’s

sixth head coach by Director of Athletics Chris Mas-

saro in July 2007.

In three years at the helm, Turnbow has led the

Blue Raiders to three NCAA regionals, one NCAA

National Championship appearance, a Sun Belt

Conference championship, been named the league’s

coach of the year twice, and guided the program

to a No. 25 ranking during Fall 2009. The team also

earned the program’s highest ever seed in the 2010

NCAA Regionals at No. 7.

Middle Tennessee won its fi rst SBC Golf Champion-

ship in 2009, weeks after Turnbow’s Blue Raiders

shocked the fi eld to win the Callaway Collegiate

Match Play Championship. Turnbow was named SBC

Coach of the Year for the second time in as many

years.

Turnbow, 31, led Middle Tennessee to a

top-40 national ranking and its fi rst-ever

at-large berth in an NCAA Regional in

2007-08. Once there, the Blue Raiders

advanced to the NCAA Division I National

Championships for the fi rst time (as a

Division I member) in West Lafayette,

Ind. Middle Tennessee continued to make

history at the National Championships

when the Blue Raiders made the 15-

team cut to play on the fi nal day.

Middle Tennessee won a school-record

fi ve tournaments under Turnbow in

2007-08, including four straight - also

a school record for most consecutive

tournament titles. The Blue Raiders were

an astounding 142-54 during Turnbow’s

debut season. For his eff orts, Turnbow

was named the Sun Belt Conference and

Eaton Golf Pride Southeast Regional

Coach of the Year.

Middle Tennessee was named Golfweek’s

National Team of the Week three times in 2007-08

and freshman Jason Millard earned All-American

honors, while teammates Chas Narramore and Rick

Cochran earned All-Sun Belt fi rst-team honors under

Turnbow’s tutelage.

Although Turn-

bow is in his fourth

season as head coach,

he is no stranger to

the program. He was

a substantial part of

the Middle Tennessee

golf program both as

a player and assistant

coach for nine years

- four as a player and

fi ve seasons (2002-

07) assisting the

men’s and women’s

programs.

Middle Tennessee, Assistant Coach, Dec. 2002-May

2007; Head Coach 2007-Present

Middle Tennessee fashioned a 115-29-2 record and

was ranked among the top 50 nationally in the

Golfstat rankings. The 2007 Blue Raiders turned in 10

top-5 fi nishes including fi nishing third or higher in

the fi nal six tournaments of the spring.

It should come as no surprise that Turnbow is

vastly respected by his peers in coaching circles

because of his contributions to the development of

young talent.

In his fi rst season as assistant coach (2003),

Turnbow helped the Blue Raiders place in the top

5 four times, including one tournament champion-

ship. In all, Middle Tennessee has enjoyed 20 top-5

fi nishes during Turnbow’s fi ve years as an assistant

coach. The Blue Raiders set what was then a school

record for best tournament in 2004 when they shot a

14-under 274 at LSU. Middle Tennessee also won its

fi rst two tournaments since 2000 in 2003 and 2006,

capturing the 2003 ULM Intercollegiate and the 2006

USF Intercollegiate.

Turnbow was a four-year letterwinner as a golfer

at Middle Tennessee from 1996 to 2000, and he

helped lead the 2000 team to the Ohio

Valley Conference Championship and a

berth in the NCAA Regional.

The Blue Raiders were ranked 45th na-

tionally after winning the OVC. Golfweek

magazine ranked Middle Tennessee 46th

and MasterCard Collegiate had the team

ranked 50th, marking the fi rst time in

program history that the Blue Raiders

ended the season ranked in the Top 50 in

both major polls.

During his playing career at Middle

Tennessee, Turnbow played in 31

tournaments with three top-10 fi nishes.

He maintained a 76.4 scoring average

throughout his four years. He debuted

with two top-10 fi nishes as a Blue Raider

- fi nishing tied for ninth at the USF/Ron

Smith Invitational and a sixth-place fi nish

at the Southern Junior/Senior. He compet-

ed in all 11 tournaments as a sophomore

and shot a career-low round of 69 at the

USF/Ron Smith Invitational, good enough

to place him eighth in the tournament.

He managed to own the lowest scoring

average on the team (75) despite being one of the

youngest players on the squad. His success continued

into his junior year, when he again fi red a career-low

69 at the Matlock Invitational.

He also had a round of 70 at the Fall Beach Classic,

where he fi nished 20th. He competed in eight tour-

naments during his senior year, including the team’s

victory at the OVC Championships and the NCAA East

Regional.

Following his collegiate playing days,

Turnbow spent three years (2000-02)

competing professionally. He participated in

the Hooters, Hurricane and Developmental

Players tours.

Turnbow was named the TrueTemper/

TPGA Assistant Professional Player of the

Year in 2001. He was the low professional at

the Tennessee Open in 2001 and 2007 and

placed fi fth at the Harold Eller Pro-Am, the

Coca-Cola Open and the Wilson Ez-Go Open.

He was also low pro at the 2006 Honors/

Council Fire Pro-Am.

During his professional

time, Turnbow worked

at Lakewood Golf

and Country Club in

Tullahoma, Tenn., as

an assistant to Chuck

Lynch. He was the

Junior golf director at

Lakewood and started the fi rst Junior program at the

Fayetteville Country Club.

Turnbow is certifi ed as a golf conditioning special-

ist by GMP Fitness, and he was nominated for the

TaylorMade/Adidas National Assistant Coach of the

Year award in 2004.

Turnbow’s experience on the course provides a

great deal of assistance and he continues to maintain

the winning tradition at Middle Tennessee. Turnbow

and his wife, Lori, have a 2-year-old daughter named

Reagan. They reside in Murfreesboro. Lori, a physical

education teacher at Reeves-Rogers Elementary

School, is a 2000 graduate of Middle Tennessee.

CHASNARRAMOREAssistant Coach

Second season Three-time NCAA ParticipantMiddle Tennessee, 2009

Chas Narramore, the only three-time Sun Belt All-

Conference player in Middle Tennessee history, is in

his second season as the assistant golf coach for the

Sun Belt Champion Blue Raiders.

“Chas provides a tremendous amount of experi-

ence and leadership, both on and off the golf course,”

noted Head Coach Whit Turnbow. “Chas is playing

professional golf, and is an accomplished player. He

is also a Middle Tennessee guy, and we are proud to

have him as part of our program.”

Narramore and fellow senior Rick Cochran fi red

a combined seven-under-par fi nal round to lead

Middle Tennessee to its fi rst-ever SBC title in 2009.

Along with three SBC Player of the Month awards,

Narramore was voted the National Player of the Week

on March 30, 2009 by Golfweek Magazine. He was

also a member of the Blue Raiders’ 2008 NCAA team

that fi nished 15th in the national tournament.

For his career, Narramore had a career stroke

average of 73.52 for 128 rounds; with a low round of

66. He had 16 Top Ten fi nishes, and seven Top Five’s

during his career. His second place fi nish in the 2007

Scenic City Invitational was his career best, and his

three-round total of 206 for that tournament is the

third-best in Middle Tennessee history.

A native of Kingston, Tenn., Narramore played for

Roane County High School where he was a two-time

All-State selection and also a Tennessee State Junior

champion. He also lettered in basketball and tennis.

MICHAELWILSONStrength and Conditioning Coach

Second season Certifi ed by the Titleist Performance Institute (level 3)Georgia Southern, 2007

Michael Wilson is in his third year as the Strength

and Conditioning Coach for both the men and

women’s golf teams at Middle Tennessee.

Wilson, a native of Nashville and a graduate of

Father Ryan High School, began his career at Middle

Tennessee in January of 2008.

Initially, Wilson was helping with the

football program full-time, but when an

opening came up for the golf teams, Wilson

immediately increased his responsibilities

and the move has worked out well.

Although it was quite a bit diff erent

from football, Wilson enjoys adding golf to

his duty list. He and Coach Whit Turnbow

discovered a program that is put on by

Titleist through their Performance Institute.

It was a program based on years of research

in how best to train golfers, and off ered

certifi cation to take the course.

Wilson, who was a guest speaker in

November at the 2010 World Golf Fitness

Summit, now has three levels of certifi ca-

tion and has learned specifi c things that

golfers need to do to have a perfect

swing, and to add more power to their

swing. Analyzing the movements of each

golfer, and showing them how to correct

defi ciencies is one of the many areas he

specializes in for the Blue Raiders.

“Michael Wilson has turned our

strength and conditioning program into

something that is sought-after by other

programs around the country,” said

Coach Whit Turnbow. “Other coaches are

calling me all the time to see what we

are doing.

“He has completed all three levels in the Titleist

Performance Institute certifi cation process and is

one of four in the country that works with a golf

team that is certifi ed on the second level. He has

done a tremendous job in taking our strength and

conditioning program to what I consider to be one of

the best in the country.”

He also deals with equipment, and how to use it

properly. He talks to the golfers about food and nu-

trition, right down to what they should and should

not eat prior to a match, and also during a match.

Wilson instructs the golfers in how to lift weights

correctly, so that they are getting the most out of

what they are doing.

“If Coach Turnbow sees something that needs to be

improved, such as a swing, or strength to hit the ball

farther, he can tell us what he wants, and we

can do it,” said Wilson.

Wilson began his collegiate career at Georgia

Southern, and worked under Tom Melton. When he

graduated and started job hunting, Melton told him

to call Russell Patterson at Middle Tennessee, who

was looking for some help in strength and condition-

ing. Patterson hired Wilson for football, and golf was

added to his duties in August of 2008.

Wilson is pleased with how well the golfers have

responded to the new program. Despite initially be-

ing hesitant to try the new program, it has now been

fully accepted and embraced by both teams.

“We have defi nitely seen improvement, especially

in attitudes. The guys come in now and they want

to work,” said Wilson. “Once they realized that this

program had the full support of Coach Turnbow, they

bought into it immediately. Now, they

really get after it and you can tell by

their play on the course.”

“Michael Wilson

has turned our

strength and con-

ditioning program

into something

that is sought-after

by other programs

around the coun-

try,” said Coach

Whit Turnbow.

“Other coaches are

calling me all the

time to see what

we are doing.”

Jeff Hendrix Golf Performance Center

MT Me26

On May 21, 2009, the Middle Tennessee Athletic Department offi cially

dedicated the Jeff Hendrix Golf Performance Center at Champions Run

Golf Course.

The Jeff Hendrix Golf Performance Center is a 2,600-square foot indoor

practice facility for the men’s and women’s golf teams. It features four

hitting bays with two video analysis rooms, player’s lounge, club repair

room and an upstairs putting lab with video analysis.

“It’s was an exciting day as we offi cially dedicated the facility,” Whit

Turnbow said. “We appreciate the generosity of Jeff Hendrix, as well as

all of the people who have donated to the program, to help this and

these types of things become reality. This facility provides our players

access to improving their games throughout the year and it will benefi t

our men’s and women’s programs as a whole.”

OLD FORTGOLF CLUB

On October 28, 1946, the charter of the Town and Country Club Inc. was accepted by the incorporators and the fi rst charter membership meeting was held. A. L. Todd Jr. presented the fi rst constitution and by-laws and moved acceptance of the same. The fi rst offi cers of the club were elected at this meeting: B. N. White, president; C. B. Huggins, vice president; K. P. Ezell, secretary; Robert Lasseter, treasurer. On December 2, 1947, the board confi rmed the purchase of 70 acres of land from George Haynes. The original 9 holes were designed and supervised by Mr. Arnold Mears, then of Richland Club, Nashville, and presently “pro emeritus” of Chickasaw Country Club, Memphis. Mr. Mears did an outstanding job and his superintendent on the site was Dr. Elbert Patty. The golf course was started in 1948 and the overall cost was approxi-mately $14,000. An additional 3 acres of land was purchased from George Haynes so that the driveway could be located where it now is rather than down closer to the bridge. The golf course was opened for play at 1 p.m. Saturday, September 10, 1949.

Green fees for guests were $1 on weekdays and $1.50 Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. The formal opening of the club and the dedication ceremonies were held on Satur-day, September 17, 1949. Dues were $5 per month. The back nine holes were complet-ed in 1969 and the front nine holes were renovated in 1979. Throughout the years, a pool and six lighted tennis courts were added, off er-ing the Rutherford County community the only private, full-service country club in the area. By 1998, SRCC had grown to over 500 members. Due to the need to expand member facilities, improve the infrastructure of the buildings, and compete for the area’s special event busi-ness, the membership voted to rebuild a portion of the clubhouse and renovate adjoining buildings at an expense of $4.3 million. The new clubhouse opened in Octo-ber 1999 and provided the membership

with multiple dining facilities for adults only, families, fi ne dining and outdoor dining, expanded men’s/women’s locker room facilities, an exercise room, mul-tiple card rooms, and, most signifi cantly, a spacious ballroom facility to attract special functions and large catering events. Stones River Country Club has hosted several golf events including Ten-nessee PGA Section Championships, the Ladies Tennessee State Amateur, and the Tennessee Girls State Championship. The head golf professional is Rob McGill.

“The renovations at Old Fort Golf Club have made it a true test of golf. Our players have certainly benefi ted from the upgrades, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to play and prac-tice on a challenging course.”

– Whit Turnbow



CHAMPIONS RUNGOLF COURSE

INDIAN HILLSGOLF CLUB

Champions Run Golf Course stylisti-cally reveals the natural beauty of middle Tennessee while showcasing the distinc-tive mark of its architect, C. Stuart Moore. The 6,900-yard, par 72 layout wraps itself gently around beautiful hardwood trees and picturesque landscape. The championship course features 18 holes, 16 bunkers, numerous water hazards, and challenging tee shots. Every hole is unique in its own way. The top-con-ditioned course provides the perfect measure of comfort and challenge for every golfer’s game. Champions Run off ers the conve-nience of numerous splendid ameni-ties so that each round of golf can be enjoyed to its fullest. The inviting and impressive clubhouse is designed to of-fer golfers and visitors alike an elegant setting for socializing with friends, both new and old. The driving range has grass teeing space for 50 players, and golfers enjoy 30,000 square feet of chipping and putting greens.

Champions Run is owned and managed by former Middle Ten-nessee golfer Steve Gra-ham. Graham played for the Blue Raiders from 1988 to 1991 and earned all-conference honors his senior sea-son. After a brief stint in professional golf, Gra-ham went to work in 1998 for McHenry Met-als Golf in its tour pro-motions department. His responsibilities and accomplish-ments include establishing personal relationships with tour professionals, making McHenry Metals the No.-1 driver model on the Senior PGA Tour during the 1999 season. He also provided player product support by fitting products to the players and building clubs to their specifi cations. He participated in budget preparations and player con-tract negotiations and communicated to the McHenry company on all issues concerning player relations, product performance, and club design.

The head golf professional at Cham-pions Run is Ray Pearce from Jackson, Tenn. Pearce competed on the Ben Hogan Tour from 1991 to 1993, where he placed second to Tom Lehman at the 1991 Hogan Classic. Ray’s experience also includes four years as a golf instructor at the Tennes-see PGA Junior Golf Academy at the Golf House of Tennessee. The course also serves as the home of the Jeff Hendrix Golf Performance Center, Middle Tennessee’s new state-of-the-art facility.

Indian Hills Golf Club is an 18-hole public facility open year-round. The beautiful Stones River meanders through the golf course, providing a uniquely scenic setting for champion-ship golf. The par 72 layout is 6,800 yards with ample tee boxes to challenge golf-ers of all abilities. The facility features a 10,000-square-foot clubhouse and a 1,000-square-foot golf shop with the latest in golf equip-ment and apparel. The facility also off ers a fi rst-class, award-winning, golf acad-emy. In addition, there is an extensive practice facility featuring two putting greens, a chipping green, a practice bunker, and a driving range with target greens. The Golf Academy at Indian Hills Golf Club off ers a wide variety of state-of-the-art technology to help all aspects of any golfer’s game. Digital swing analy-sis is a specialty at Indian Hills Golf Club.

Digital swing analysis allows students to see their swings and compares them to the swings of today’s top players. This process increases the speed of improve-ment, which results in lower scores. Danny DeGroff currently serves as the director of golf at the course.

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING

One of the biggest changes in college athletics over the past few years has been the attitude toward strength and conditioning. Performing in the weight room has become just as important as on-the-fi eld competition, and Middle Tennessee has one of the very best staff s in the nation committed to making student-ath-letes the best they can be. It all happens in the Blue Raiders’ 10,000-plus square foot weight room facility located adjacent to the north end zone of Floyd Stadium and designed for use by all Middle Tennessee student-athletes. It is a strength training area that rivals any in the country. The weight room has been described by many people as better than any in the immediate area, including those at SEC and Conference USA schools. The facility, which opened in January of 1999, greets student-athletes with over 20,000 pounds of plates and dumbbells, but the sheer volume of weights is not the most impressive aspect of the room. It is equipped with nine full power racks, nine elevated platforms, and nine

half-racks. Hammer strength equipment rounds out the room with fi ve ground-base jammers, a dead lift, a leg press, a leg curl, and a leg extension. Other Ham-mer strength equipment in the facility includes a bench press, a military press, a rowing ma-chine, neck machine, pull-up, and pull-over. An impressive array of dumbbells is also provided

O f h bi h i ll h lf k H h i d for the student-athletes’ use. Two sets each of dumbbells ranging from fi ve to 150 pounds are kept on racks around the room. Mirrors ring the

walls of the room to help student-athletes ensure that they are using proper form throughout their workouts. Cardiovascular equipment, such as treadmills and sta-tionary bikes, is also available in the facility. Other state-of-the-art amenities may also be found in the weight room. A televi-sion with cable and a state-of-the-art sound system has been installed for the enjoy-ment of the student-athletes. Three offi ces for the strength coaches are located in the facility, along with restrooms and a hospitality area.



As MTSU counts down to its centennial

celebration in 2011, there’s vibrancy in abun-

dance across campus, in Murfreesboro and

Rutherford County, and around the region.

Growth can be seen at many levels, from

enrollment to facilities to scholarship aid

to endowment to student involvement to

research, and more.

With a record 26,432 registered and

attending in fall 2010 and with the largest

undergraduate total in Tennessee, enroll-

ment remains on the rise since the arrival of

Dr. Sidney A. McPhee, MTSU’s 10th president,

in 2001. The University’s growth parallels

that of Murfreesboro (pop. 100,000) and

Rutherford County (pop. 229,380).

Facility growth can be seen in the

expanded Health, Wellness, and Recreation

Center and Reese Smith Jr. Field for baseball;

future projects including Science, Student

Union and Colleges of Education and Be-

havioral Science buildings; multiple parking

garages; and more. People

who have not visited campus

in many years are astonished

at the changes and, obvi-

ously, there are more on the

horizon.

The University Honors

College unveiled its fi rst class

of Buchanan Fellowship recipi-

ents in 2007-08. Limited to 20

students per year, this is the

highest academic scholarship

awarded at MTSU.

More entering freshmen and

transfers continue to receive

the HOPE Scholarship, with

the Tennessee Legislature

increasing the award amount

to compensate for tuition increases.

MTSU’s endowment leaped from $29.8 million

to $34.9 million during the 2006-07 fi scal year. “For

2005-06, we had asset value appreciation of more

than 13 percent,” said Joe Bales, vice president for

Development and University Relations. “Add to that

the gifts we received that year, and the total growth

of our endowment put us in the top 25 percent of

colleges and universities in the nation.”

More than $1 million a year is now pumped into

academic units in earnings from the endowment,

which appear in the form of scholarships, faculty

awards, and student-support programs.

Once on campus, students have about 300

registered organizations to choose from. They can be

involved in student government and political

groups, Greek life (sororities and fraternities),

student publications, honor societies, profes-

sional organizations, human interest groups,

and more.

The University continues to move forward

with student and faculty research. External

funding has reached $37 million, which

includes public service, research, and instruc-

tion, the Offi ce of Research and Sponsored

Programs reports.

The Undergraduate Research Center

held its second Scholars Week in the spring,

showcasing research eff orts and the arts. The

celebration included departmental and col-

lege events that featured oral and multime-

dia presentations, posters, performances, de-

bates, demonstrations, speakers, luncheon,

and awards. Students continue to excel at

national levels as evidenced by recognition

they have received as groups or individuals.

MTSU’s 500-plus acre campus rests

near the geographic center of

Tennessee. From food to shopping

to entertainment, visitors and

permanent residents alike can

fi nd what they need and want in

Murfreesboro. Adjacent to I-24,

the Avenue, with a variety of retail

stores and eateries, opened in

fall 2007. In a few years, Middle

Tennessee Medical Center will be

joining other medical offi ces along

Medical Center Parkway, not far

from I-24 and the Avenue, and

about 15 minutes from campus.

Murfreesboro is about 30

miles east of Nashville, the state

capitol, Music City U.S.A., and

home of the world-famous Grand Ole

Opry, Tennessee Titans NFL team, Nashville Predators

NHL franchise, Nashville Sounds Triple-A baseball

affi liate of the Milwaukee Brewers, and other cultural

and entertainment venues such as the Sommet and

Schermerhorn Symphony centers.

The Forbes “America’s Best Colleges” 2009 survey recently ranked Middle Tennessee State University among the top 50 schools in the nation for being a “Best Buy” in higher educa-tion. MTSU also ranked as the top public institution in Tennes-see and was in the top 100 public universities in the nation.



President 10th Year Prairie View, 1976 Dr. Sidney A. McPhee is the tenth president of

Middle Tennessee State University. Prior to his appointment

at MTSU in 2001, he was executive vice chancellor at the

Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) in Nashville. In addition,

he served as chief academic offi cer and interim chancellor

for the Board of Regents system. Before his appointment

at TBR, McPhee served in various administrative capacities

at several major universities, including Oklahoma State

University, University of Louisville, and University of Mem-

phis. In May 2007, President McPhee received the

title of Honorary Professor at China Agricultural

University in Beijing, which is one of China’s top

universities. The Honorary Professor title is the

highest academic award given at the institution

McPhee was named Outstanding American

University President of 2002 by the American Foot-

ball Foundation. In 2003, he was listed by Nashville

Post business magazine as one of Tennessee’s 100

Most Powerful Individuals, and in 2004, he was

ranked by Tennessee Business magazine as one of

the Top 50 Most Powerful African Americans in the

State of Tennessee. In 2006, Dr. McPhee was listed

by the Chronicle of Higher Education as one of sev-

en university presidents in the U.S. who is shaping

intercollegiate athletics on a national scale. In the

spring of 2009, President McPhee was the keynote

speaker for Prairie View A&M Founder’s Day celebra-

tions, and in June of that year, he was an invited par-

ticipant at the International Agricultural University

Presidential Forum held in Beijing and sponsored

by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In May

of this year, Dr. McPhee presented a photo exhibition

and lecture series entitled, China: A decade through

the eyes of an American University President, in four

Chinese cities including Beijing, Hangzhou, Lanzhou,

and Changsha.

McPhee earned his bachelor’s degree (with highest honors, summa cum laude) from

Prairie View A&M University; a master’s degree from the University of Miami, Coral Ga-

bles, Florida; and a doctorate in applied behavioral studies in education from Oklahoma

State University. He is also a graduate of the Harvard University Management Devel-

opment Program and has completed professional development programs at St. Mary’s

University of San Antonio, Texas, and Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

As an academician, President McPhee’s scholarly publications and presentations

are extensive. His publications have appeared in local, national, and international pro-

fessional journals. In addition, he is the senior author of a book, Understanding the

Campus Culture: An Introduction to College, and has co-authored a chapter for a major

college textbook on academic advising. McPhee’s scholarly pursuits include several in-

ternational visits and presentations in locations such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou,

Lanzhou, Changsha, and Dunhuang, China; Mekelle, Ethiopia; Penang, Malaysia; Hong

Kong; Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia; Tokyo and Osaka, Japan; Seoul, South Korea;

Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, Israel; Antwerp, Belgium; Montreal, Canada; Oxford, England;

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and Nassau, Bahamas.

McPhee participated as a member of NCAA’s Football Academic Working Group and

chaired the NCAA Division I Working Group to Review “At-Risk” Student-Athlete issues

(ARSA). The ARSA fi nal report was submitted to the NCAA Board of Directors last year.

McPhee also served a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Board of Directors (2003 to

2007) and was re-appointed to the board in 2010, a three-year term on the NCAA Execu-

tive Committee, and two terms as president of the Sun Belt Conference athletic league

and chairman of the SBC’s CEO Executive Committee. In May 2005, he was appointed to

the NCAA Presidential Commission on the Future of Intercollegiate Athletics. In 2002,

President George W. Bush appointed him to the National Council for the Humanities,

and the U.S. Senate confi rmed him. A past member of the Rutherford County Cham-

ber of Commerce Board of Directors, McPhee chaired its membership council. He is a

member of the Murfreesboro Noon Rotary Club and serves as a member of the SunTrust

Bank Board of Directors (Nashville) and SunTrust Regional Bank Advisory Board (Mur-

freesboro). He also served on the Nashville Adventure Science Center Board, the Middle

Tennessee Medical Center Board, and the Middle Tennessee Council for Boy Scouts of

America Executive Board and co-chaired the Tennes-

see Legislative Retreat Task Force on Higher Education.

McPhee was recently re-elected to a second three-year

term as a commission member of the Southern Asso-

ciation of Colleges and Schools.

During McPhee’s tenure at MTSU, the University

has experienced considerable growth in many areas.

Student enrollment has increased signifi cantly, mak-

ing MTSU undergraduate enrollment the largest in

the state. During the past several years, the University

added twelve new degree programs at the graduate

and undergraduate levels. In 2002, for the fi rst time

in the history of the University, three Ph.D. programs

were established: in Economics, English, and Human

Performance. A Ph.D. in Public History was instituted

shortly thereafter, and in July 2007, a new Ph.D. in

Literacy Studies was approved. Recently, three addi-

tional Ph.D. programs were approved in Mathematics

and Science Education, Molecular Biosciences, and

Computational Science. From 2001 to 2009, the Uni-

versity increased extramural funding from $6 million

to approximately $40 million.

Since McPhee’s arrival, MTSU has been success-

ful in raising admission standards, resulting in an

increase in high-ability students. MTSU has been

the institution of choice for midstate valedictorians

and salutatorians in recent years and has enrolled a

signifi cant number of National Merit scholars and Achievement scholars.

McPhee’s presidency has coincided with several major improvements in University

facilities. A ten-year, $70 million renovation of all student residential housing is sched-

uled for completion by 2011, the University’s centennial year. In addition, the University

acquired the 500-acre Guy James property to consolidate its highly regarded programs

in the School of Agribusiness and Agriscience. This acquisition doubled the size of cam-

pus acreage from 500 to 1,000. Over $9 million was spent to renovate Andrew L. Todd

Hall, which now houses the Department of Art and has state-of-the-art equipment for

its students and faculty. The Paul W. Martin Sr. Honors Building was built with pri-

vate funding. In January 2007, an addition to the Cason-Kennedy Nursing Building was

opened and dedicated, bringing the facility to 28,000 square feet.

In 2006, the University received $15 million in state support for the planning and

infrastructure development for a proposed $140 million science building. In April 2007,

a new $3 million track and soccer complex was opened and the University secured pri-

vate gifts in support of a $6 million baseball stadium completed in 2008. A $19 million

expansion of the Health, Wellness, and Recreation Center was also completed. Currently

under construction is the $31.7 million College of Education building and the $70 mil-

lion Student Union building with anticipated completion in 2011. During the past fi ve

years, the University has been engaged in capital projects, either proposed, under con-

struction, or competed, totaling more that $400 million.

President McPhee is married to Elizabeth McPhee, and they have two adult children,

Seneca and Sidney-Anthony.

Director of Athletics 6th Year Northern Colorado, 1983 The landscape of college athletics has changed drastically over the past decade and

that renovation also has been demonstrated at Middle Tennessee, particularly during

the fi ve-plus years since Chris Massaro was named director of athletics on April 8, 2005.

Proving to be a true visionary, Massaro has helped revolutionize the Blue Raiders’

athletic department while helping pave the way for even greater success in future years.

Along with growing the Middle Tennessee athletic program, Massaro has been in-

strumental on numerous national boards and committees. He was appointed to the

NCAA Football Issues Committee in March 2008 and is currently serving as a member of

the prestigious NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee.

During his reign, Massaro has overseen unprecedented success not only in the Uni-

versity’s athletic programs but also in regard to aca-

demic success, facility upgrades, and a proven record

of hiring coaches who have thrived under his watch.

Under Massaro’s leadership, the Blue Raiders have

captured the Sun Belt’s All-Sports trophy three times

in fi ve years.

Since his arrival, Massaro has enhanced the Blue

Raiders’ broad-based, 17-sport program. Among the

accomplishments included in the last fi ve years:

• The Athletic Department has captured 25 Sun Belt

Conference championships and earned 15 coach of the

year honors.

• The Blue Raiders were 76th in the 2008-09 NACDA

Cup, the highest fi nish in school history.

• The athletic program has had a record 25 nationally

televised events during his tenure.

• Middle Tennessee’s football program has appeared in

three bowl games in fi ve years: the 2006 Motor City Bowl,

the 2009 New Orleans Bowl, and the 2011 GoDaddy.com

Bowl. The Blue Raiders won the New Orleans Bowl and

fi nished with a 10-3 record and a No. 33 national ranking.

• The women’s volleyball team reached the Sweet 16

for the fi rst time in 2007 and has made fi ve straight NCAA

appearances.

• The men’s golf team has made three straight NCAA Regional appearances,

including a trip to the NCAA Championships in 2008 to fi nish 15th nationally.

• The women’s basketball team has made the NCAA Tournament four times while also

• The Middle Tennessee tennis doubles team of Marco Born and Andreas Siljestrom

won the National Championship in 2007 – the fi rst NCAA doubles title in Athletic De-

partment history.

• The Middle Tennessee track teams have combined for four conference titles. The

2007 men’s outdoor squad fi nished No. 21 in the nation, and the 2009 women’s indoor

team ranked tied for 30th.

• The Blue Raider baseball team captured the regular season and tournament cham-

pionship in 2009 and advanced to the NCAAs.

Massaro’s success at Middle Tennessee doesn’t stop with the athletic teams. There

has been a tremendous track record for hiring quality coaches with head football coach

Rick Stockstill, women’s head basketball coach Rick Insell, and men’s golf coach Whit

Turnbow – all Massaro hires – each earning Sun Belt Coach of the Year in their fi rst sea-

sons. In all, Massaro’s guidance has provided coaches with the resources to produce 25

conference titles, 24 NCAA postseason appearances, two Sun Belt Conference Athletes

of the Year, and 15 Coach of the Year awards.

Academic enhancement has also skyrocketed under Massaro’s leadership. Massaro,

who was appointed to a panel on APR Improvement Plans for the 2007 NCAA Conven-

tion, inherited a football program with a national-low score of 812 and saw it increase to

990 (on a 1,000-point scale) in 2009. As a whole, the Athletic Department has improved

from a 908 score when Massaro was hired to an impressive cumulative (four years) score

of 968 in 2008-09. All 17 Middle Tennessee sports teams achieved passing marks of 925

or higher in 2008-09 with nine teams turning in a perfect mark of 1,000.

Massaro, who spent 20 years at the University of South Carolina prior to his appoint-

ment at Middle Tennessee, also overhauled the annual Blue Raider Athletic Association’s

annual giving program, which resulted in a record number of members and fi nancial

giving in 2009-10, the fi fth such year record numbers have been realized. During his

tenure, the BRAA has seen a 109 percent increase in annual giving.

Facility upgrades also have been at the top of Massaro’s impressive list of accom-

plishments. He completed a $6 million capital campaign for the new baseball stadium

and initiated a series of major renovations to existing athletic

facilities during the previous four years, including a state-of-

the-art soccer and track complex. Most recently, a state-of-

the-art golf performance center was completed in December

2008.

In the midst of numerous upgrades, Massaro also

has initiated generous contributions that made it possible to

install a new synthetic surface in Floyd Stadium for the 2006

season. Additionally, new videoboards – one for football and

two inside Murphy Center – were installed in 2007.

In a span of fi ve years, Massaro’s hiring practices

have been regarded as excellent. On Dec. 12, 2005, he made

his highest profi le hire when he selected Stockstill to take

over the football program. Stockstill became just the sec-

ond head coach in the I-A era and led the Blue Raiders to

a league championship and a bowl appearance in his fi rst

season.

Two days following his hiring, Massaro was

pressed into action to fi nd a replacement to lead the na-

tionally recognized women’s basketball program. Massaro

made his fi rst hire when he brought on board legendary

high school coach Rick Insell to take over the program.

Both Insell and Stockstill won championships in their fi rst

seasons on the job.

Massaro has also made a signifi cant upgrade in the Blue Raider football schedule

since his arrival. He brought Virginia out of the ACC to Floyd Stadium in 2007 and then

inked Maryland to play in Murfreesboro in 2008. In 2009, Massaro had Mississippi State

come to Floyd Stadium to make them the fi rst SEC program to play in a Sun Belt sta-

dium. Future schedules will see the Blue Raiders playing home games against Georgia

Tech (2011) and Vanderbilt (2015, 2017).

On his 100th day on the job, Massaro made one of his biggest announcements: a

fi ve-year contract with the University of Memphis to play football that started in 2007.

In March 2008, Massaro made another big move when he announced a four-game

series with neighboring rival Vanderbilt of the SEC. The series begins in 2015 and the

teams will play twice in Murfreesboro and twice in Nashville.

The Glenwood Springs, Colo., native joined the South Carolina staff under the Ohio

University sport administration program in 1985. Massaro helped usher the Gamecocks

into the SEC and learned under legendary athletic director Dr. Mike McGee.

Massaro earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University

of Northern Colorado in 1983 and his master’s degree in sport administration from Ohio

University in 1986. At UNC, Massaro was a fi ve-year football team member.

Massaro is also heavily involved in community service projects and organizations.

He is a member of the Red Cross Board, the City Golf Commission and the Rutherford

County Sports Council Executive Committee, and he served on the search committee

for the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce president. He is also a member of the

Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame committee.

Massaro and his wife, Cindy, have four children: Hank, Lainey, Rachel, and Ben.

Scarlett Commons, named

for former Middle Tennessee

president M. G. Scarlett, is one

of the premier living arrange-

ments at any university in the

region. Opened to students in the

fall of 1999, the facility provides

apartment-style living with

the convenience of staying on

campus.

Nine three-story buildings with

12 apartments each and a useful

clubhouse make up the Scarlett

complex. Each apartment contains

four private bedrooms connected

by two private bathrooms, a full

Middle Tennessee off ers fi ve diff erent on-campus

dining areas, with the most popular being Keathley

University Center (KUC) Grill and Cyber Café.

The KUC is located in the center of campus and is

a major intersection for student activities. The Grill is

located on the second fl oor and features Pizza Hut,

Quizno’s Subs, Grille Works, Salad Garden, Chick-Fil-A,

and Freshens (desserts and smoothies). The KUC Grill

is open from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday–Thurs-

day and is open until 5 p.m. on Fridays.

The Cyber Café is the fi rst of its kind in the Ten-

nessee Board of Regents system, off ering a futuristic

and effi cient way for students to dine. Students are

able to eat while e-mailing or searching the Web at

the same time on eight computers with access to the

World Wide Web.

Burger King and Subway serve students until

2:00 a.m. Monday–Thursday and 7 p.m. on Fridays.

Six 32-inch televisions suspended from the ceiling

also catch students up on events around the world.

Sofas and armchairs make Cyber Café a great place to

relax between classes with coff ee or Ben and Jerry’s

ice cream. A popular event for

students is open mic night when

live music is performed during the

dinner hour. This weekly event

fi lls the cafe to capacity. The café

also features a wide array of items

traditionally found in convenience

stores.

Student-athletes can start the

day with biscuits and gravy and

an omelet from McCallie Dining

in Corlew Hall. This is a favorite spot because of the

fun atmosphere and all-you-can-eat dining selections.

Student-athletes get a chance to relax and socialize with

each other while feasting on subs, pizza, grill works,

carved meats, fresh deli food, fresh-made pasta, and a

salad bar. Thursday nights in McCallie are theme nights

featuring, for example, tastes of the bayou on Cajun

night or a feast of egg rolls and fried rice on Far East

night. No matter what is served, the fellowship among

athletes and students is always enjoyable.

A great spot for lunch is the RaiderZone at James

Union Building, a new sports theme restaurant.

Students can enjoy all you care to eat buff et-style

foods, pizza and pasta, carved meats, fresh deli food,

and freshly made salads.

Snack favorites can be found in the Mass Com-

munication and Business and Aerospace buildings and

at Lightning’s Limo in the stadium breezeway. A new

dining area in James E. Walker Library off ers Starbucks

coff ee, sandwiches and wraps, fresh fruit, and fresh-

baked pastries.

Residents also enjoy the ease of using Raider

Xpress, the University’s shuttle buses, to make it to

every class on time. The Red shuttle makes stops in

front of the clubhouse every 15 to 20 minutes and is a

comfortable way to ride to the door of major buildings

on campus.

own restricted parking lot, so it’s easy to fi nd parking

in front of their buildings 24 hours a day.

Each building has an assigned resident assistant on

the fi rst fl oor. These are student staff members who

have the responsibility of helping residents with any

diffi culties they might have as well as helping to get

all the residents involved in activities across campus.
