EXPERIENCE

THE

Is the Sun Belt Conference a modern-day fixture among the deci-sion-makers in the ever-changing world of college athletics? Or is the league a long-time innovator, responsible for advance-ments in many sports that we now take for granted? Is the Sun Belt home of an alumni base that includes national and international leaders in the areas of government, business and entertainment as well as athletics? Or is the conference one that has established itself as a national contender in a variety of sports, and one that continues to evolve in ways that directly benefit its institutions and more importantly its student-athletes? The answer is yes, yes, yes and yes. The Sun Belt Conference’s “Together We Rise” motto isn’t just hy-perbole. It’s proven fact on many different levels, not the least be-ing its place in the hierarchy of collegiate athletics. As the league prepares to celebrate four decades since its founding in 1976, the Sun Belt occupies a “seat at the table” as a permanent part of the NCAA’s 24-member Board of Directors. That alone insures that the conference has a voice in determining the future as college sports continues to change and evolve. Changing and evolving have been hallmarks of the league since its existence. College basketball might be a shadow of its current self had the Sun Belt not led the way in the establishment of the shot clock. The conference also wrote history at the start of the century when it inaugurated football as a league sport – becoming the first

already-existing Division I conference to take such action. The Sun Belt was originally founded to give home to some of the nation’s premier mid-major basketball teams, and the league’s history is dotted with success in many different men’s and wom-en’s sports through its history. But when the desire for a higher national profile and the desire of its membership brought about football sponsorship in 2001, the conference was figuratively reborn, and now stands as one of the 10 premier college football leagues in the country. And, with the recent debut of the College Football Playoff, the Sun Belt is guaranteed universal access based strictly on perfor-mance. A worthy football team in the Sun Belt can be in the na-tional championship picture, and the league is a permanent part of the “Group of Five” conferences (joining the American Athletic Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Mid-American Conference and Conference USA) that will send its highest-rated champion to a premier Jan. 1 bowl game. In only 15 years of football, the Sun Belt has earned ties to no fewer than seven bowl games. In addition to the potential of the College Football Playoff, the league has guaranteed spots in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the GoDaddy Bowl, the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl and the new Cure Bowl for bowl-eligible teams each and every season. Beginning in 2016, the Sun Belt will also be part of a conference rotation that will send teams to the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl and the Miami Beach Bowl.

4 - Sun Belt Conference

Georgia State won the Sun Belt Men’s Basketball Championship, played annually at Lakefront Arena in New Orleans (below). The Panthers went on to win a last-second thriller against Baylor in the NCAA Tournament when RJ Hunter (above) drained a deep three pointer. Hunter went on to be selected by the Boston Celtics in the first round of the NBA Draft.

No football conference in history has ever boasted as many bowl relationships in its first two decades of existence, but such break-throughs have been the rule rather than the exception for a league that continues to exceed expectations. Just in the last three seasons, league members have recorded 52 non-conference wins including a record 21 victories outside the league in 2013. The Sun Belt also has a winning record over its fellow “Group of Five” con-ferences over the past two seasons, and has claimed three bowl victories in those two years. Gridiron success has grown in the league for several years, but success can also happen overnight. New league member Georgia Southern claimed the Sun Belt football title in its first year in the conference last fall. Appalachian State, another league newbie, rattled off six consecutive wins to close the 2014 football season and finish with a winning 7-5 record. Texas State has finished its two football seasons in the conference as a bowl eligible team, going 6-6 in its inaugural Sun Belt campaign and then 7-5 this past season. Football, though, is by no means the only hallmark of success for the league. Just this past season, Georgia State knocked off third-seeded Baylor in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and Little Rock defeated sixth-seeded Texas A&M in the women’s

NCAA tournament . With the league’s postseason tournaments headed back to the conference’s home city, the “Big Easy” of New Orleans, and a plethora of standouts returning for this season, the league is poised for another successful hoops season. Baseball and softball continue to put the league in the national spotlight during the spring season, with deep runs into postsea-son play and high visibility in the national polls becoming a tra-dition. UL Lafayette’s baseball team was the nation’s No. 1 team in the final third of the 2014 season and has reached the NCAA Super Regional round each of the past two years, while the UL

CONFERENCE

Sun Belt Conference - 5

Lafayette softball team has advanced to the Super Regional three straight years including a trip to the 2014 College World Series. Many league sports have made statements on the national level, and that is a tribute to the university and athletic administrators that serve both the league institutions and the student-athletes at each school. That this level of success comes at a time of sweeping change in collegiate athletics adds even more to these accomplishments. With those changes, opportunities for student-athletes to succeed both on and off the field have never been greater, and the Sun Belt is well positioned in the areas of scholarship, student welfare and academic success. During the 2014-15 academic year alone, Sun Belt member institutions awarded nearly $50 million in scholar-ship funds to over 3,084 student-athletes while also contributing over $2 million from the Student Assistance Fund (SAF) to over 1,779 student-athletes. The league and its institutions rewrite the Sun Belt’s record book each year in grade-point averages and academic honors, and member schools’ success in the NCAA’s APR rankings provide even more proof of the league’s academic commitment. In 2015, the conference doubled the number of teams that received NCAA Public Recognition Awards, given to teams that post APR scores in the top 10 percent of their sport, as 14 teams were among the national honorees compared to seven in 2014. “We have never been as strong as we are now academically and financially, and I believe we are getting stronger all the time athletically,” said former Sun Belt Conference president and Troy University chancellor Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr. recently. “I truly believe the best is yet to come.”

The strength of any league lies in its membership, with the Sun Belt’s 11-school football membership including Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Idaho, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe, New Mexico State, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy. Little Rock and UT Arlington compete in all sports as non-football members while Idaho and New Mexico State are football-only members. Those members give the Sun Belt a mix of the “old” and the “new”, with many long-time Sun Belt institu-tions continuing to have success and a solid corps of conference newcomers ready to make their marks on the league and national levels. The varied campuses and locations reflect another league strength – its diversity. The mix of regions and regional cultures provide a rare opportunity for the league’s student-athletes to experience many environments. But those same student-athletes can also experience that without leaving their own campuses. For every All-Pro linebacker DeMacus Ware (Troy) and Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Charles Tillman (UL Lafayette), and for every World Series MVP David Freese (South Alabama) coming from Sun Belt campuses, there are also U.S. presidents (Lyndon Johnson, Texas State), business icons (Chick-fil-a president Dan-iel Cathy, Georgia Southern), nationally-known entertainers (Tim McGraw, UL Monroe, and Ludacris, Georgia State), and there is royalty (Miss America Debbye Turner, Arkansas State).

These proud alumni, as well as the thousands of student-athletes and staff members at all of its institutions, are proof that the Sun Belt Conference continues to gain stature and provide the prom-ise of future success with every sunrise. “Together We Rise” has never been more appropriate.

In just its first season of Sun Belt play, Georgia Southern went undefeated in the league and won the conference championship.

2015 schedule

CONFERENCE

Since being named the fifth commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference on February 16, 2012, Karl Benson has helped reinvigorate the Sun Belt with his optimism, energy and enthusiasm. His vigor and forward thinking have often been called upon during his tenure – perhaps best exemplified when he hit the ground running in the spring of 2012. Benson quickly set the tone for the future of the Sun Belt Conference by adding Geor-gia State, UT Arlington and Texas State to the league after only being in his post for several weeks. In May of 2012 Benson had begun to further shape the Sun Belt Conference by promot-ing the league’s rebranding efforts. Sure enough only a year later, the Sun Belt had unveiled a new logo and new mantra - “Together We Rise” - that is in line with the optimistic attitude that Benson has become so well-known for. Further solidifying the place of the Sun Belt Conference, Benson helped lead the league to the additions of Appalachian State and Georgia Southern as all-sports members and Idaho and New Mexico State as football playing members. All four announcements took place throughout the course of the day on March 27, 2013. In addition to strengthening the league through membership addi-tions and rebranding efforts, Benson has been able to secure new homes for Sun Belt teams in the football postseason. With the 2014-15 year marking the debut of the College Football Playoff (CFP) the Sun Belt continues to find itself among the 10 pre-mier college football conferences and the new system is guaranteed universal access based on performance – there are no automatic qualifiers for the playoff system. Additionally, the CFP will mean that a spot among the premier bowl games of college football will be guaranteed to the highest-ranked champion from the other “Group of Five” conferences: the Sun Belt Conference, American Athletic Conference, Mountain West Conference, Mid-American Conference and Conference USA. With the College Football Playoff included with the league’s other bowl arrangements, the Sun Belt Conference is tied to seven total bowl games. The R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the GoDaddy Bowl, the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, the Cure Bowl (debuting in 2015) all guarantee a home for a bowl eligible Sun Belt Conference team each year. And beginning with the 2016 season, the Sun Belt is also part of a rotation of conferences that will send a team to the Bahamas Bowl and the Miami Beach Bowl. Benson came to the Sun Belt after serving as the commissioner of the Western Athletic Conference since 1994. During his time at the WAC, Benson developed numerous multi-year agreements with postseason football games, including the Holiday Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Copper Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Silicon Valley Foot-ball Classic, GMAC Bowl, New Mexico Bowl, the Humanitarian Bowl, Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl, Poinsettia Bowl and Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. Under Benson’s leadership, the WAC achieved noted success by sending multiple teams to Bowl Championship Series (BCS) games as well as having sent a total of 38 teams to bowl games since 2001.

Benson served on the NCAA Management Council from 1999-2002 and a five-year term on the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee from 2002-06. Prior to his time at the WAC, Benson served as the commissioner of the Mid-American Conference for four years. There, he implemented several innovative projects and was instrumental in the formation of the Las Vegas Bowl. Prior to taking the reins of the MAC, Benson served on the NCAA staff for more than four years where he was the director of NCAA champi-onships when selected as MAC commissioner. Benson joined the NCAA staff in January 1986, as a compliance rep-resentative and was appointed assistant director of championships in June 1987. He was promoted to director of championships in 1988. In that position, Benson actively supervised eight assistant directors in their administration of 68 NCAA championships. A native of the state of Washington, Benson graduated from high school in Pullman in 1970, attended Spokane Falls Community Col-lege and then received a bachelor of science degree in physical ed-ucation from Boise State University in 1975. He has also completed course work toward his master’s degree in athletics administration at the University of Utah. Benson played baseball at both Spokane Falls Community College and Boise State University before serving as the baseball coach at Fort Steilacoom Community College in Tacoma, Wash., for eight years and as the director of athletics at Fort Steilacoom from 1979-84. From 1984-86, he was an assistant baseball coach and an admin-istrative assistant in the athletics department at Utah. He received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Boise State in April of 2006. Benson is also a member of the Spokane Falls and Fort Steilacoom Halls of Fame. Benson was born on December 1, 1951 and has one daughter, Jessi-ca, 23, a graduate of the University of Southern California and current Sports Anchor/Reporter for KNDU-TV - a NBC affiliate television station based in Southeastern Washington.

16 - Sun Belt Conference

Kevin Kennedy enters his 10th season as head coach at Georgia Southern in 2015 as the Eagles look for a second chance to win the coveted Sun Belt Championship.

It was Kennedy’s second trip to a conference championship game after taking the 2006 Eagles to the SoCon finale. In 2006 Kennedy was named SoCon Coach of the Year and has remained one of the region’s most respected coaches. In 2015 he was selected to the NCAA Men’s Soccer Committee to serve a three-year term. He earned an undergraduate degree in English from Georgia Regents in 1995, then received a Master of Science degree in Sport Manage-

ment from Georgia Southern. Kennedy is married to the former Ale Sabio, and they are the parents of a daughter, Meghan and a son, Jackson.

Eagles in Transition is a student-athlete specific career counseling op-

portunity that helps student-athletes tailor their resumes, network with

alumni and businesspeople in the area, and complete mock interviews.

The program began in the 2014-15 academic year. Career Month hosts

A nationally recognized program, the Georgia Southern University Con-

cussion Research platform is dedicated to the scientific understanding

of sports-related concussion and their resulting consequences. The

program’s primary line of research is related to identifying and under-

standing the lingering deficits which appear to persist well past recovery

on standard clinical testing. Recently, with the inclusion of the Helmet

Impact Telemetry System, the research program has been expanded to

further understanding the relationship between helmet impacts and the

resultant impairments in postural control.

The Eagles Men’s Golf team competed in an international tournament in

October 2014 in St. Andrews, Scotland against St. Andrews University.

The match was reported to be the first collegiate golf match held on the

Old Course in St. Andrews.

In total, $4,510,301 worth of athletic scholarships in the 2014-15 aca-

demic year were awarded to 305 student-athletes. Of that, $1,653,101

worth of athletic scholarships in the 2014-15 academic year were award-

ed to 85 football student-athletes. In the 2013-14 academic year alone

$191,071 was given to 201 student-athletes from the Student Assistance

Fund (SAF).

Georgia Southern’s Concussion Research program provides real-time feedback on hits to the head that could result in a concussion. The program, which was recently featured on NBC Nightly News, is also used to study the recovery period following concussions.

2014 RESULTS (8-10, 3-2 Sun Belt)

Brett Surrency enters his sixth season as the leader and his 11th overall with the Georgia State Panthers. As the face of the program, he has built the program to championship-contending status. Appointed head coach prior to the 2010 season, Surrency quickly orchestrated a Panthers’ turnaround from a losing season to their best finish in the Colonial Athletic Association since they joined the conference in 2005. The initial year laid the groundwork for his program’s philosophy going forward: High expectations, hard work and excellence on the field of play. In the five years of growth, GSU has a 43-46-5 report card. In 2014, GSU and the Sun Belt began conference play with its six teams and a championship postseason event. The Panthers finished second in that inaugural campaign, going 3-2 in the conference. In April 2014, former defender Michael Nwiloh was selected with the second pick in the fourth round

by Chivas USA in the MLS SuperDraft. He came to Georgia State in 2010 and thanks to the guidance of Surrency he became the first GSU men’s soccer player to sign a professional contract with a MLS franchise.

Hartwick College, an engaged community, integrates a liberal arts education with experiential learning to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, personal courage and an enduring passion for learning.

Our purpose as a college of the liberal arts and sciences is to educate people who will thrive in and contribute to the world of the future; people who are prepared to meet the personal, intellectual, and social challenges of a rapidly changing and increasingly interdependent world. Hartwick graduates will be noted as being able to thrive in a world of global interdependence in which people of the broadest range of national, ethnic, social, and personal backgrounds will interact personally and technologically. To thrive in this context will require that Hartwick students learn to: understand the world from a variety of perspectives; work constructively with people from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences; be avid learners and critical thinkers; communicate effectively and have a well-developed personal presence; be purposeful in their actions and value-based in their decisions; and know how to use information technology resources as a routine tool to enhance effectiveness.

By being intentional in fulfilling our values—taking those actions that help us better be what we believe we should be—we are a college of both quality and distinctiveness. We are a future-directed community of learners where students, faculty, and staff are mutually engaged in intellectual, social, and personal learning inside and outside of the classroom. Our curricular and co-curricular educational experience emphasizes: shared and interdependent learning; a balance of challenge and support; a caring commitment to the individual; intellectual, social, and individual rigor; the develop-ment of personal responsibility; and approaches that link theory and practice, what we term “The Liberal Arts in Practice.”

2014 RESULTS (6-10-4, 3-1-1 Sun Belt)

John Scott enters his sixth season at Hartwick. Last season, Scott led the Hawks to a conference championship and the NCAA Tournament for the first time in nine seasons. The Hawks, playing in their inaugural season in the Sun Belt Conference, captured all three major team honors. Scott guided the Hawks to a 3-1-1 conference mark to claim the Sun Belt regular season title and the tournament’s top seed. The Hawks shutout Appalachian State and then tournament host Georgia Southern to claim the 2015 Sun Belt Conference Championship and automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Hawks’ NCAA appearance would mark Hartwick’s 24th all-time, which ranks 14th of all Divi-sion I men’s programs. Scott would be crowned the Sun Belt Conference Men’s Soccer Coach of the Year and his Hawks would also earn the Sun Belt Men’s Soccer Academic Award with a 3.31 Team GPA to complete the conference tre-

ble. In 2014, Scott led the Hawks to memorable wins over national powers Akron and West Virginia in their final season in the Mid-American Conference. ’Wick qualified for the MAC Tournament for the first time since 2009 and Scott would be named the MAC’s Gary V. Palmisano Coach of the Year.
