Above: The Nebraska wrestling program has been built on the strong support of coaches and wrestlers, including (from left): Coach Mark Manning, who has guided the Huskers to a 187-73-3 record since 2000; Justin Ruiz, a two-time All-American in 2002 and 2003 at 197 pounds; Matt Murray, an All-American in 2004 at 141 pounds; Jacob Klein, a two-time All-American in 2004 and 2006 at 165 and 174 pounds; Jordan Burroughs, gold medalist at the 2012 London Olympics at two-time NCAA champion.

Right: The 2008-09 Nebraska wrestling squad added to the Huskers' achievements by claiming a share of the Big 12 championship and finishing fourth at the NCAA Championships.

Nebraska Wrestling by the Numbers

THIS IS NEBRASKAThree years after celebrating its first season as a member of the Big Ten Conference, the Nebraska wrestling program will look to continue its excellence both on and off the mat. Coach Mark Manning has continued a tradition of success in his 14 years at the helm of the Huskers. With hard work and a dedication to excellence, Manning has developed a program that consistently competes with the nation’s best in collegiate wrestling.

Since its inaugural season in 1910-11, Nebraska has earned more than 650 dual victories, including 187 wins in the past 14 years under Manning. Over the past 14 years, the Huskers have finished in the top eight at the NCAA Championships five times and racked up 36 All-America honors, including five individual national titles. In the classroom, the 2012-13 Huskers finished second in the nation by NWCA for the highest grade-point average (3.32). NU wrestlers have earned 48 NWCA All-Academic Team selections en route to seven CoSIDA Academic All-America awards.

One reason NU has been able to develop such a successful program is its top-notch facilities. In the fall of 2011, the Husker wrestling program moved into the state-of-the-art Hendricks Training Complex, which provides four full-sized practice mats, new office suites and new areas for both strength and conditioning and athletic medicine. The Hendricks Complex is attached to the Devaney Center, which hosts the majority of Nebraska’s duals this season. With a wealth of support and a history of success, Nebraska wrestling expects to contend for conference and national championships every year.

A three-time All-American at Nebraska in the early 1990's, Scott Chenoweth (above) has coached his high school team to multiple state titles. "I learned the only thing holding me back was me. If I wanted a degree, there was no reason I couldn't get that degree."

Nebraska coaches have always guided young men toward success on the mat while also teaching them to find success in life, and Mark Manning continues that with his coaching philosophies. Manning has helped young men grow into upstanding adults by teaching athletes that the values they learn on the mat can be transferred into their personal lives. Bryan Snyder (right) earned his Ph.D. in sociology after becoming NU's only four-time All-American. Snyder is now associate head coach for the Huskers.

"Wrestling presents a lot of challenges, but also the ability to work through those challenges. Wrestling builds good character and good work ethic and I definitely built that at Nebraska." - Bryan Snyder

Two-time letterwinner John Myers (below) wrestled for NU in the late 1980's, before becoming executive producer of his own digital design and effects studio. "All of the greatest things in my life past and present, big and small, can be attributed to wrestling and everything that came with wrestling at Nebraska."

The Scherr brothers were both national champions at Nebraska in 1984, before continuing their prosperity on the mat into their personal lives. Bill (above left) earned the collegiate title at 190 pounds and went on to win five medals in the Olympics and FILA World Championships before turning his attention to a professional career. He now serves as the vice president of a global investment banking and securities firm.

"Wrestling teaches you valuable life lessons like self-discipline and perseverance. It gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment. All of those translate into any sort of career you would want to pursue." - Bill Scherr

Jim (above right) won the national title at 177 pounds with a victory over Iowa's Duane Goldman and also continued his wrestling career onto the international stage. Jim claimed three medals between the Olympics and FILA World Championships and continued his involvement with the Olympics through 2008.

"[Nebraska] has a good core of dedicated faculty with great academic support in place. The sports department has tremendous personnel and resources. Nebraska was a great experience from both ends of the spectrum, athletically and academically." - Jim Scherr

ACADEMIC SUCCESSUniversity of Nebraska student-athletes produced another outstanding year in

competition, in the classroom and in the community, continuing NU’s tradition of success in 2013-14. The Huskers increased their nation-leading total of all-time CoSIDA Academic All-Americans to 314 with a Big Ten-best seven academic All-Americans across all sports, while also claiming a Big Ten-leading four NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships in 2013-14.

The only school in the nation with 300 academic All-Americans, Nebraska is one of just three schools across all divisions with 200 or more, joining Notre Dame and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). NU leads the nation in CoSIDA Academic All-Americans since 2000 with 124, extending its nation-leading streak to 43 consecutive years with at least one academic All-American.

The Huskers also increased their nation-leading total of NCAA Top Ten Award winners to 17, as former women’s tennis All-American Mary Weatherholt was honored during the 2013-14 academic year. Nebraska also ranks among the nation’s best in the total of NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners, including five in 2013-14. Spencer Long (Football), Eric Schryver (Men’s Gymnastics), Emily Wong (Women’s Gymnastics), Sunny Russell (Rifle) and Anne Martin (Track and Field) all claimed the prestigious national awards.

Nebraska’s CoSIDA Academic All-America success continues to set the standard for the approximately 1,400 member institutions. The Husker football team leads all individual sport programs in the nation with 107 all-time CoSIDA Academic All-America awards, including 2013 first-team honoree Spencer Long and second-team selections Jake

Long and C.J. Zimmerer. Spencer Long added a prestigious Nationall Football Foundation Postgraduate Scholarship worth $18,000, along with prestigious NCAA Postgraduate ($7,500) and Big Ten Wayne Duke Postgraduate ($10,000) scholarships before being chosen in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

THE NEBRASKA ACADEMIC EXPERIENCEFrom the day student-athletes decide the University of Nebraska is the right place to be, the athletic academic counseling unit provides personal and academic support to ensure that student-athletes will get the most out of their years as Huskers. Featuring one of the most innovative and comprehensive academic support systems in the country, Nebraska is dedicated to helping its student-athletes become outstanding leaders in their chosen fields. The academic support team is comprised of 13 full-time staff members and a tutorial staff of approximately 75 tutors addressing all subject areas.

Academic Counseling Eight academic counselors and three assistant academic counselors are in place to monitor daily academic progress, receive consistent course feedback, assist with the advising/registration process and monitor continuing eligibility and progress toward graduation. Essentially, academic counselors assist student-athletes in navigating the University of Nebraska system.

Tutorial SupportA tremendous resource for all academic abilities, unlimited tutorial support is available from day one up to college graduation. Subject and mentor tutors help provide academic support and study strategies to be successful. Supplemental Instruction, a sub-component of the tutorial program, provides targeted group review sessions to help ease the transition to college academics while improving study strategies and building academic self-esteem.

Study HallNebraska’s study hall program is housed in the D.J. Sokol Enrichment Center within the Dick and Peg Herman Family Student Life Complex. Student-athletes attend a supervised, flex-time study hall that features day, evening and weekend hours. Each student-athlete is required to complete a specific number of study hours each week as determined by their academic counselor and/or coach. In addition, weekly study hall reports are provided to the coaching staff. Additional performance-based or tutor-based study hall may also be determined by the academic counselor.

MentoringMany student-athletes meet with a mentor on a weekly basis to assist in making a smooth transition from high school to college. Mentors collect syllabi, gather and report academic progress information and teach academic success strategies.

Educational AssessmentsAssessments are administered upon the request of the student-athlete, academic counselor, or coach to determine student strengths and areas for improvement. Results allow academic counselors to develop a personalized academic support program and to determine if more in-depth testing is warranted. When additional assessments are necessary, referrals are made to a consulting psychologist who conducts the assessments. If it is determined that a student-athlete has a learning disability, appropriate accommodations are made through the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities.

Student-Athlete Orientation The academic staff coordinates New Student-Athlete Orientation to help newcomers adjust to the multiple demands of being a college student-athlete. Presentations are made by academic counselors, compliance officials, NU faculty and administrators, business/community professionals and student-athletes.

Personal CounselingStudent-athletes will find a supportive and caring environment at Nebraska. Transitional issues, stress management, time management, academic focus and problem resolution are all addressed in a proactive manner throughout the year. If necessary, counseling referrals are also made to designated practitioners.

Computer ResourcesStudent-athletes enjoy a new state-of-the art computer lab and technology center with 58 computers and professional supervision. Laptops are also available during team travel. Student-athletes have the benefit of ongoing education and assistance from a full-time computer technician.

The Leader With over 100 years of history, Nebraska wrestling is one of the most storied programs in the collegiate wrestling ranks. Head Coach Mark Manning has taken the Huskers to new heights in his tenure and has established himself as one of the top wrestling coaches in the nation. The NU record book is a testament to Manning’s accomplishments in Lincoln. In his 14 years at the helm, he has coached 36 of Nebraska’s 95 All-Americans. He has led the Huskers to five top-eight finishes at the NCAA Championships, compared to just eight for the 14 NU coaches before him. He is the second winningest coach in Husker history with a dual-winning percentage of .717 and a record of 187-73-3 at NU. He is 13 wins away from becoming the winningest coach in program history. He won back-to-back Big 12 Coach-of-the-Year awards (2008 and 2009) after guiding Nebraska to a share of the conference crown in 2009 and a runner-up finish in 2008. NU went on to finish fourth at the NCAA Championships both seasons with nine Huskers earning All-America honors, and Jordan Burroughs capturing the 157-pound national title with a perfect 35-0 record in 2009. Manning earned one of the top coaching honors in the entire sport when he was named the 2011 FILA Freestyle Coach of the Year after helping Burroughs capture the gold medal at the World Championships in Istanbul, Turkey. Burroughs also captured gold at the 2012 London Olympics, where Manning served as a volunteer coach for the U.S. Freestyle Team. Burroughs went on to win a second world title in 2013, and added a bronze medal in 2014. Records go on paper and in books and get tucked away. More important to Manning is the fact that he has helped numerous young men grow into upstanding adults by teaching them the correct principles of life. Regarded as one of the nation’s top recruiters, Manning usually finds the correct wrestler for his program. He has a keen eye for finding the athletes with the right work ethic and dedication that he can develop. His recruiting and coaching abilities have allowed him to quickly find success at both programs he has led. Manning’s coaching philosophy focuses on developing wrestlers to reach their potential. A wrestler who brings a positive attitude and work ethic to the room can use goal setting and responsibility to develop into an upstanding citizen who is committed to excellence. Manning works daily with the team on every detail in and out of practice, while keeping in mind the best long-term interests of his student-athletes. Known for his fiery nature on the edge of the mat, Manning instills in his wrestlers a sense of determination and pride through his actions and demeanor. His guidance teaches his athletes to become winners in life, which translates into success in the classroom, on the mat and in their lives beyond wrestling. Manning works to instill life-long values in his wrestlers and it shows. In addition to their success on the mat, Husker wrestlers under Manning have earned 69 academic all-conference selections, including 28 academic All-Big Ten awards during Nebraska’s first three seasons in the conference. Three Huskers were named to the 2014 NWCA All-Academic Team. In 2012, Nebraska turned in the nation’s best team grade-point average (3.46) for the first time in school history. Manning’s beliefs and values in developing student-athletes is

evident right outside his office, where former Husker All-Americans Bryan Snyder, Jason Powell and Burroughs are members of the NU coaching staff. Manning’s coaching philosophy is one that he began during his competitive days, developed during his time as an assistant coach and continues to modify during his time as head coach at Nebraska.

Manning’s Mark at Nebraska Manning began teaching his methods immediately when he was hired at Nebraska in May of 2000. His efforts first paid dividends when he led Nebraska to back-to-back eighth-place team finishes at the NCAA Championships in 2001 and 2002. Four Huskers (Todd Beckerman, Bryan Snyder, Ati Conner and Brad Vering) claimed All-America honors in Manning’s first year coaching the Huskers in 2000-01, as NU finished with an 11-6 dual record. Powell and Snyder also gave Manning his first two Big 12 Conference champions that year. During the 2001-02 season, Manning led the Huskers to their third consecutive third-place finish at the Big 12 Championships. Justin Ruiz and Powell earned their first All-America accolades under Manning, while Snyder became Nebraska’s first four-time All-American with his second-place finish at 157 pounds. Nebraska claimed a 16-7 dual record in 2002-03, as Manning guided NU to seven victories over ranked opponents, including a 20-17 victory over fifth-ranked Illinois at the Virginia Duals. At the 2003 NCAA Championships, Manning led a young lineup that included two juniors, five sophomores and three redshirt freshmen to a 13th-place showing. The finish marked the eighth time in nine seasons that NU had claimed a spot in the top 15 in the nation. The 2003-04 Huskers and Manning posted one of the best wrestling seasons ever at NU with a 19-3 overall record, tying the second-highest win total in NU history. The Huskers posted two team titles during the season, winning the prestigious Las Vegas Invitational behind individual titles from Powell, Travis Shufelt and Travis Pascoe and winning the Virginia Duals with a 25-13 defeat of Lehigh in the finals. Manning directed the Huskers to second at the Big 12 Championships, while qualifying eight wrestlers for the NCAA Tournament, where NU earned a fifth-place finish. Manning coached his first national champion at Nebraska, as Powell claimed the title at 125 pounds with a 17-2 technical fall in the finals. The Huskers’ success continued in 2004-05, with Nebraska winning 19 duals for the second straight year. NU’s 19-2-1 dual record was the second-best mark in school history. The Huskers started the campaign with eight straight dual wins, and ended the season by winning 12 of the last 13 duals. Nebraska posted eight wins over ranked foes, including a 16-15 upset of No. 2 Iowa State to end the dual season. Manning’s 2005-06 squad was relatively inexperienced, but the Huskers earned a solid 12-5 dual record and a third-place finish at the National Duals. NU claimed third at the Big 12 Championships and two Huskers went on to finish as All-Americans. Manning’s legacy continued to grow in 2006-07, as he watched his second Husker claim a national title. Paul Donahoe earned the crown at 125 pounds to lead Nebraska to a 10-7-1 dual record. The 2007-08 Husker campaign was one of the best ever under Manning. NU finished second at the Big 12 Championships with three individual champions

and claimed fourth at the NCAA Championships with five Huskers finishing as All-Americans. That success would no doubt be a challenge to match, but the 2008-09 Nebraska wrestling team did just that. The Huskers won a share of the Big 12 championship for the first time in school history behind individual titles from Burroughs, Brandon Browne, Craig Brester and Vince Jones. Seven NU wrestlers qualified for the NCAA Championships, where the Huskers finished fourth with All-America accolades going to Burroughs (1st, 157), Brester (2nd, 197), Browne (4th, 174) and Jones (6th, 184). In 2010, Nebraska fought through a rash of injuries, including a season-ending setback to Burroughs. Despite the unfortunate luck, the Huskers still qualified five wrestlers for the NCAA Championships and finished 12th in the team standings, marking the seventh top-15 finish under Manning. History was made in 2011, when Manning helped Burroughs become the first two-time national champion in school history by winning the 165-pound title at the NCAA Championships in Philadelphia, Pa. After the season, Burroughs was awarded the school’s first-ever Hodge Trophy, given annually to the nation’s top wrestler. As a team, the Huskers qualified seven total wrestlers for the national tournament and finished in 12th place for the second consecutive season. In 2011-12, the Huskers finished 21st at the NCAA Championships as two wrestlers (Josh Ihnen and James Green) earned All-America accolades. Senior Tucker Lane became the 20th member of Nebraska’s 100-win club on Feb. 19. In 2012-13, Robert Kokesh led Nebraska with a 38-4 record and a third-place finish at the NCAA Championships at 174 pounds. Green captured his second consecutive All-America honor at 157 pounds to help NU to a 13th-place finish. Ihnen fell one match short of All-America status but picked up his 100th collegiate win at the national tournament. The Huskers, who wrestled at the NU Coliseum for the final time, compiled an 11-6 dual record. Green and Kokesh repeated as All-Americans in 2014, as Green took third at 157 pounds and Kokesh earned a fourth-place finish at 174. The pair also took home Big Ten titles, becoming the first Husker champions in three seasons as members of the conference. The Huskers returned to the newly renovated Devaney Center for all of their home duals after years of wrestling at the NU Coliseum. NU finished the dual season with a 12-2 record before finishing 11th at the NCAA Championships.

The Road to Lincoln Manning showed his ability to develop a top-notch program was universal, as he led a turnaround in the tradition-rich Northern Iowa program in his first head coaching position. Manning coached three seasons for the Panthers from 1997 to 2000 in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Under Manning, UNI compiled a 23-24-2 dual record and improved its mark in each of his seasons. His rebuilding effort with the Panthers included strong showings at the NCAA Championships. Northern Iowa tied for 30th in Manning’s first year, but improved to a 17th-place showing in 1998 and added an 11th-place finish at the 2000 NCAA Tournament, which was the school’s best showing in seven seasons. Individually, several UNI wrestlers excelled on the national stage under Manning. In each of his last two seasons, the Panthers had a pair of All-Americans, including Tony Davis. A two-time NCAA finalist, Davis was the national champion at 149 pounds in 2000 and finished second in 1999. Manning returned the Northern Iowa program to national prominence by attracting some of the nation’s top wrestling talent. His first Panther recruiting class was ranked second in the nation, while his second class was tabbed as the top class in the nation in 2000. Before his appointment as the head coach at UNI, Manning had extensive experience as an assistant coach, including ties to the Big 12 Conference. Manning

Goal Setting: Individually, have a road map to reach your goals and the discipline to stick to your plan. Remember that the drive and determination in your daily activities will bring about success.

Responsibility: Anyone can make excuses; you must be responsible for your actions and learn to make proper choices in your academic work, athletic endeavors and in your personal life.

Citizenship: Each team member is expected to represent themselves, their family, university, teammates, coaches and community in a first-class manner.

Commitment to Excellence: Demonstration of total effort and concentration whereby each team member gives their absolute best during practice, competition and in the classroom, regardless of result.

Nebraska's first wrestling coach, Dr. Raymond G. Clapp (1911-26), was more than just a mentor for the first athletes who enjoyed the sport at the university. He was a prominent figure locally and internationally in the world of wrestling. In the 1890s, Clapp distinguished himself as an all-around athlete while a student at Williston Seminary and at Yale University, starring in football, track, gymnastics and tennis. It was as a track athlete at Yale that he rose to national and world prominence. Clapp won the IC4A pole vault title twice, annexed the national A.A.U. championship, earned a Canadian title and in 1898, he topped all performances to set a then-world mark in the vault of nearly 12 feet. Dr. Clapp's interest and ability in gymnastics probably were more responsible than any other one thing in creating his great interest in collegiate wrestling. In addition to his many athletic distinctions, Clapp was crowned the all-around individual gymnastics champion of the Eastern Intercollegiate Association in 1889. As a member and eventual chairman of the NCAA Wrestling Rules Committee, Clapp was largely responsible for the efficient organization of collegiate wrestling tournaments in the 1930s and 1940s. Clapp pioneered the system that is used to run many of the meets that take place even today. While Ed Gallagher was building wrestling popularity in the Southwest, and Charlie Mayser was doing likewise in the East and Midwest, Dr. Clapp initiated college wrestling at the University of Nebraska in the earliest days of the sport, serving as head coach from 1911 to 1926. Known widely as a leader in the promotion of collegiate wrestling, Clapp served in the administrative branch of the National Collegiate Wrestling Association for numerous years. In 1932 and 1936, Clapp was secretary of the American Olympic Wrestling Committee and in 1940 was elected chairman of the committee. As chairman of the USA-Pan American Wrestling Committee and the committee representative to the 1942 Pan-American Games Committee, Clapp became increasingly prominent in the wrestling community. For over 30 years, Clapp freely and willingly gave his time and energy to popularize collegiate wrestling.

Tim Neumann coached Nebraska from 1985 to 2000, producing five top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championships, 40 Husker All-Americans and four NU national champions.

Nebraska has had only 15 head coaches in 103 years of wrestling history, including current Husker coach Mark Manning. Combining for 654 dual wins, NU coaches have always set a standard of excellence in the wrestling community. Dr. R.G. Clapp was the Huskers' first wrestling coach and led the team for 11 years before moving on to promote wrestling with the National Wrestling Coaches Association. Jerry Adam coached Nebraska for the majority of the 1930's and 1940's, before giving way to B.R. Patterson. Orval Borgialli headed the Huskers for 14 years from 1964 to 1978, amassing 72 dual wins, and Bob Fehrs took over the team until 1985. Fehrs finished with a .648 dual-winning percentage with 95 career dual wins at Nebraska. Tim Neumann racked up 199 dual victories from 1985 to 2000 to become NU's all-time leader in dual wins. Manning took over in 2000 and has amassed a 187-73-3 mark in Lincoln, while leading the Huskers over the 600-win plateau during the 2009-10 season.

Assistant Coach • First Season • Nebraska (2011)

Olympic Gold Medalist Jordan Burroughs enters his first season as an assistant coach for the Huskers in 2014-15 after being hired to the staff in July 2014. He previously served on the Nebraska wrestling staff as an administrative assistant for the 2012-13 season. Burroughs returns to Nebraska in the midst of one of the most successful international freestyle wrestling careers in U.S. history. In addition to claiming the 74-kilogram Olympic Gold Medal at the 2012 Games in London, England, Burroughs won a pair of FILA World Championships in 2011 and 2013.

In addition, he won his first 69 matches on the senior circuit. Following the IOC’s initial recommendation to drop wrestling from the Olympics in February 2013, Burroughs became a key advocate to keeping the sport in the Games. In September

2013, the decision was overturned and wrestling will remain in the Olympics. In 2011, Burroughs completed his decorated collegiate career with a second national title and claimed the Hodge Trophy Award. He went 36-0 as a senior at 165 pounds and also captured 2011 InterMat Wrestler-of-the-Year honors. Burroughs’ first NCAA crown came in 2009, when he posted a perfect 35-0 record at 157 pounds. In 2009-10, his season was cut short by a torn PCL and LCL after racing to a 7-0 start. The three-time All-American finished third at the 2008 NCAA Championships with a 34-6 record.

• Strength and Conditioning Coach • Sixth Season • Nebraska (2004)

Jason Powell enters his sixth season as the strength and conditioning coach for the Huskers in 2014-15.

As a junior, Powell finished third at the 2003 national meet following a fifth-place finish in 2002. He ranks 10th on NU’s all-time win chart with 109.

Shawn Eichorst was named Nebraska’s 14th Director of Athletics on Oct. 4, 2012, by Chancellor Harvey Perlman. Eichorst leads a tradition-rich athletic program of 24 varsity intercollegiate teams, 600-plus student-athletes and more than 275 full-time employees. Nebraska’s reputation as a world-class academic institution and its stature as one of the strongest and most balanced athletic departments in collegiate athletics supports Eichorst’s top priority, which is to ensure all Husker student-athletes have the necessary support to succeed in academics, athletics and life.

Since taking over for the legendary Tom Osborne as Director of Athletics on Jan. 3, 2013, Eichorst has immersed himself in Nebraska’s rich traditions. He has made nearly 300 public appearances, including nearly 200 speaking engagements in Nebraska. He serves on the Chancellor’s Senior Administrative Team and regularly meets with campus administrators and deans. Eichorst’s monthly radio show and Connecting on Campus column promote the university’s academic and athletic successes, along with the academic and community achievements of Husker student-athletes.

Eichorst was also the first Director of Athletics to visit the Big Ten-based Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) at its Champaign, Ill., headquarters. The CIC is a highly successful academic-based consortium of 15 schools, including all 14 in the Big Ten Conference. Nebraska is leading the Big Ten and the CIC in several areas, including the Digital Humanities and head injury research.

Under Eichorst’s watch, Nebraska extended its nation-leading total of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans to 314, including seven in 2013-14. NU also increased its nation-leading total to 17 NCAA Top Ten Award winners, as Mary Weatherholt (women’s tennis) earned the honor in 2014. A total of 279 Huskers were honored at the Student-Athlete Recognition Banquet, and 208 Husker student-athletes earned Academic All-Big Ten honors in 2013-14, an increase of 20 from 2012-13.

In 2013-14, Nebraska became one of only two NCAA institutions – and the first Big Ten program in history – to qualify for a football bowl game, and advance to NCAA postseason in the major team sports of volleyball, soccer, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and softball. Nebraska was the only institution to win a postseason game in six of those seven sports.

The Nebraska football team completed its sixth straight nine-win season, while playing in its third consecutive New Year’s Day bowl game, a win over Georgia. The volleyball team advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight in its first season at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The Husker soccer team qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2005, and advanced to the second round after winning Big Ten regular-season and tournament titles.

The women’s basketball team captured Nebraska’s first-ever conference tournament title while earning an NCAA Tournament win for the second straight year. The Huskers also hosted an NCAA Regional at Pinnacle Bank Arena – the first time since 1993 that NCAA Tournament basketball came to Lincoln. The men’s basketball team earned Nebraska’s first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 1998, following a top-four Big Ten finish. The men’s and women’s basketball teams qualified for the NCAA Tournament in the same season for the first time since 1998.

The bowling team earned an NCAA runner-up finish, and the rifle team finished fifth at the NCAA Championships. The women’s gymnastics program made the NCAA Super Six and earned a share of the Big Ten title. The men’s gymnastics team added an eighth-place NCAA finish, while the wrestling team claimed 11th at nationals - its top showing at the NCAA Championships since 2009.

The softball team shared the Big Ten regular-season title and advanced to an NCAA Super Regional for the second straight season. The baseball team earned its first NCAA Tournament bid since 2008. It marked the first time in school history the baseball and men’s basketball teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament in the same season.

The men’s track and field team finished 12th at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, after finishing 17th at the indoor meet. The women added a 19th-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

The Huskers produced 42 All-Americans who won 51 awards, including 29 first-team honors - NU’s highest All-America totals in more than a decade.

Nebraska ranked in the top 20 nationally in attendance in football (90,933, 9th), volleyball (8,175, 1st), men’s basketball (15,419, 13th), women’s basketball (6,161, 11th), baseball (3,241, 15th) and softball (963) in 2013-14. NU’s football, men’s basketball and volleyball attendances were all school records, and the Huskers extended NCAA-record home sellout streaks in both football (333) and volleyball (200).

Nebraska is focusing on improving the game-day atmosphere at every venue, including a $12.3 million upgrade of its wireless networks in and around Memorial Stadium in 2014. It is the largest wireless network system installation at a college stadium in history. The upgrade includes a new sound system, IPTV system installation and innovative smartphone applications.

In the summer of 2013, Memorial Stadium expansion increased capacity while adding the innovative Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory (NAPL) inside East Stadium next to the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior (CB3). The men’s and women’s basketball teams became the primary tenants at Pinnacle Bank Arena, and the renovated Devaney Center became the home of the Husker volleyball, wrestling and men’s and women’s gymnastics programs.

The next major facility project is a world-class, $20.4 million Nebraska Soccer and Tennis Complex, located just north of the Devaney Center and Innovation Campus. When completed in 2015, the facilities will rank among the best in the Big Ten.

Eichorst came to Nebraska after serving as Director of Athletics at Miami in 2011 and 2012. During his tenure, Eichorst helped grow the academic reputation of an already sterling program with NCAA Top 10 recognition in Academic Progress Rates (APR) for five programs – football, baseball, men’s diving, women’s cross country and women’s golf. Miami’s Hurricane Club grew to more than 5,000 nationwide. A total of $19 million in student-athlete support was generated in 2011-12, and $14.2 million in capital gifts was raised for the Center for Athletic Excellence.

Eichorst hired legendary men’s basketball coach Jim Larrañaga, and the Hurricanes advanced to the NIT second round. The women’s basketball program posted the highest national ranking in school history (No. 5) and advanced to the NCAA second round. The women’s tennis team advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight for the fourth straight season, and the baseball team made its 40th consecutive NCAA appearance. The women’s soccer team posted the first NCAA Tournament win in history, and the volleyball team made its third straight NCAA Tournament trip.

Before heading to Miami, Eichorst was the Deputy Athletics Director at Wisconsin from 2009 to 2011. He was the Chief Operating Officer and oversaw the day-to-day operations (23 intercollegiate programs, 850 student-athletes, 320 full-time employees) under Director of Athletics and former Husker Barry Alvarez. Eichorst was involved in the design and planning of a new ice hockey and swimming facility, and the Student-Athlete Performance Center at Camp Randall Stadium.

At South Carolina, Eichorst oversaw daily operations of the department and supervised Lou Holtz’s and Steve Spurrier’s football programs and Ray Tanner’s baseball program. The football team was bowl-eligible each season, and the baseball team competed in the 2004 College World Series. Additionally, he coordinated and supervised multi-million dollar facility projects, including a football training facility.

From 1999 to 2003, Eichorst served as the Director of Athletics at Wisconsin-Whitewater, which produced four top 10 percent NACDA Directors Cup finishes, one NCAA team title, two NCAA runner-up finishes and five individual national champions. The program also featured 11 CoSIDA Academic All-America selections,

Juniors James Green (157) and Robert Kokesh (174) each collected All-America honors for the second consecutive season to lead Nebraska to an 11th-place finish at the 2014 NCAA Championships. The Huskers earned 43.5 points at the national tournament at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Okla. Green picked up his third All-America accolade by taking third place at 157 pounds. He breezed through the first two rounds with major decisions before being pinned by No. 9 seed Dylan Ness of Minnesota. Green responded in the consolation bracket by reeling off four consecutive bonus-point victories. He finished the 2013-14 campaign with a 35-2 record. Kokesh also opened his appearance with a pair of major decisions before a heartbreaker in the quarterfinals to sixth-seeded Logan Storley of Minnesota, 6-4. In the consolation bracket, Kokesh defeated Illinois’ Tony Dallago, 8-2, but suffered a torn ACL in the match. Kokesh won two more matches before falling to Storley again in the third-place match by a 3-1 margin in tiebreaker 1. Kokesh earned his second All-America honor and finished the season with a 37-3 mark. Five additional Huskers qualified for the NCAA Championships, but fell short of All-America status. Junior Jake Sueflohn went 2-2 at the tournament at 149 pounds to finish the season 31-6. He made his third NCAA Championships appearance. Sophomore 165-pounder Austin Wilson made his second showing at the NCAA Championships, going 1-2. His consolation win over Missouri’s Zach Toal was bookended by losses to top-10 seeded opponents. A trio of redshirt freshmen qualified for the NCAA Championships: Tim Lambert (125), TJ Dudley (184) and Collin Jensen (HWT). Lambert managed a 2-2 record in his first NCAA appearance. Dudley opened with a major decision before suffering back-to-back losses. Jensen fell in both of his matches in Oklahoma City. During the dual season, Nebraska compiled a 12-2 record, going 6-2 in the Big Ten. The Huskers were one win shy of a three-way tie for first in the conference. The two losses on the season tied the fewest by Nebraska in a season under Head Coach Mark Manning, who completed his 14th year. The Huskers opened 2013-14 at the Warren Williamson/Daktronics Open on Nov. 3 in Brookings, S.D. Kokesh, Green and Jensen each captured titles to lead the way for Nebraska, while Lambert, Sueflohn and Anthony Abidin (141) took second place in their respective weight classes. On Nov. 17, Nebraska competed in its first dual of the season, hosting No. 19 Northwestern at the newly renovated Bob Devaney Sports Center after years of competing at the NU Coliseum. True freshman Colton McCrystal (133) won a 7-6 overtime decision in his first appearance in the NU lineup. Five additional Huskers posted victories, including Dudley, who pinned the Wildcats’ Jacob Berkowitz in 3:42. Despite losing the final two bouts of the dual, Nebraska posted a 25-16 triumph over Northwestern. The following weekend, Manning picked up his 200th career victory in his home state when the Huskers cruised to a 36-6 win over South Dakota State in Brookings. Fellow South Dakota natives Kokesh and Jensen each earned pins for Nebraska as nine Huskers posted victories. The Huskers swept the Stanford Duals on Nov. 30 in Stanford, Calif., defeating Utah Valley, No. 18 Stanford and Bakersfield by a combined score of 106-18. In the opening dual, the Huskers split the first four matches against Utah Valley before adding bonus points in five of the last six matches for a 36-6 victory. Nebraska also faced a tie after four matches against the Cardinal, but Sueflohn and Green notched major decisions and Kokesh earned a technical fall to help NU take down Stanford, 28-12.

In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution or a Nebraska booster provides the individual or the individual’s relatives or friends with any financial assistance or benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students in general.

GuidelinesQ: What constitutes impermissible contact by a Booster?

A: Phone calls to prospects (9th to 12th grade) and their relatives placed for recruiting purposes (questions about the athletic program at UNL must be directed to the coach); writing, paging, text messages or instant messages to

The University of Nebraska Athletic Department takes great pride in abiding by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Big Ten Conference rules and guidelines that govern Division I competition.

A: A student-athlete may be employed during the academic year or summer vacation period; receive compensation equal to the going rate for similar services in the locale; receive compensation only for work performed; receive benefits provided to all other employees; teach sport-related individual skill instruction or fee-for-lesson sessions. A student-athlete may not conduct personal sport camps or promote, market, advertise or endorse a commercial business or product.

Only the Big Ten’s fifth commissioner since its founding in 1896, James E. Delany enters his 26th year with the conference. He has led the Big Ten through significant periods of growth that have helped the conference maintain its preeminent position as one of the nation’s leaders in providing quality academic and athletic experiences for young men and women. The Big Ten has grown to 14 member institutions during Delany’s tenure, including the additions of Penn State in June 1991, Nebraska in July 2011 and Maryland and Rutgers in July 2014. With the conference’s footprint now stretching from the Colorado border to the Atlantic Ocean and more than five million alumni across the country, Delany has focused on strengthening traditional relationships while building a presence in a new region. In October 2013, the Big Ten moved to a new headquarters and meeting center in Rosemont, Ill. In April 2014, the conference announced it would open a second office in New York City and secured satellite office space in Washington, D.C. Throughout the summer of 2014, the Big Ten unveiled future basketball tournament sites in Chicago and Indianapolis, along with an East Coast destination in Washington, D.C. In May, the Big Ten Baseball Tournament set attendance records in Omaha, Neb., while the inaugural Big Ten Hockey Tournament was held in Saint Paul, Minn., in March and will be played in Detroit, Mich., next year. In addition, the Big Ten will take part in the largest and most diverse postseason football lineup in conference history beginning in 2014-15, with 12 different bowl partners spread across the country. Under Delany’s guidance, the Big Ten has been a national leader in broad-based programming, student-athlete welfare, gender equity and innovation. The Big Ten administers nearly $200 million in direct financial aid to almost 9,500 student-athletes for more than 11,000 participation opportunities on 350 teams in 42 different sports. The Big Ten debuted men’s ice hockey last year, and men’s and women’s lacrosse begins competition during the 2014-15 academic year, with Johns Hopkins University joining as the conference’s first sport affiliate member for men’s lacrosse in July 2014. The Big Ten now sponsors 28 official sports, more than every conference but the Ivy League. Under Delany, the Big Ten has been a champion for Title IX. The conference was the first to voluntarily adopt participation goals for female student-athletes as the Big Ten initiated the Gender Equity Action Plan in 1992. The Big Ten leads all conferences with more than 4,300 female student-athletes and features nearly 500 televised or streamed women’s athletic events. Big Ten women’s teams have claimed more than 110 NCAA titles. The Big Ten also developed the first collegiate football version of instant replay, which was implemented during the 2004 season. The conference has applied numerous initiatives under Delany’s leadership, including Sportsmanship Awards beginning in 2003 and Postgraduate Scholarships starting with the 2012-13 academic year. In the summer of 2012, the Big Ten announced a partnership with the Ivy League to study the effects of head injuries in sports. The Big Ten has seen unprecedented levels of national television coverage during Delany’s tenure, highlighted by the creation of the Big Ten Network (BTN). Launched in August 2007 as a joint-venture with FOX, BTN was the first national conference-owned television network. Delany has also negotiated media agreements with ABC, CBS Sports, ESPN and NBC Sports Network, while FOX serves as the official broadcast partner of the 2011-16 Big Ten Football Championship Games. Through these agreements, more than 1,200 events are produced and distributed annually. Delany has seen teams from 25 different sports win national championships, with seven claiming national titles during the 2013-14 academic year. The top 10 single-season football attendance records have been established in his tenure, while men’s basketball has led the country in attendance for the last 38 seasons through the 2013-14 campaign. Each year more than 10 million patrons attend Big Ten home contests, as the conference leads the nation in attendance for hockey, volleyball and wrestling in addition to men’s basketball. The Big Ten has also added tournaments for men’s and women’s basketball, men’s ice hockey and men’s and women’s lacrosse, as well as challenge series with various conferences. Delany and the Big Ten have been active in the community, creating the school outreach program SCORE (Success Comes Out of Reading Everyday).

For the last 25 years, the conference has partnered with Chicago elementary schools to improve reading performance. The Big Ten has also established numerous community programs surrounding its men’s and women’s basketball tournaments and football championship game. The 66-year old Delany is a native of South Orange, N.J. He received his undergraduate degree in political science from the University of North Carolina in 1970 and juris doctorate degree from the University of North Carolina School of Law in 1973. At UNC, Delany was a three-year member of the varsity basketball team, serving as tri-captain in 1970 and twice participating in NCAA Final Four competition. In September 2012, Delany received the UNC Distinguished Alumni Award. After earning his law degree, Delany served as counsel for the North Carolina Senate Judiciary Committee from 1973 to 1974, and was staff attorney for the North Carolina Justice Department from 1974 to 1975. Delany’s distinguished career in administering intercollegiate athletics began at the NCAA where he was employed as an enforcement representative from 1975-79. For the next decade, he served as commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference.
