Buccaneers Charleston Southern
FOOTBALL GUIDE AT THE HELM
The 2009 season will be Jay Mills’ seventh season at the helm of the Buccaneers’ ship, taking CSU from a 1-11 mark in 2003 to a Big South Conference championship in 2005, and a schoolrecord nine wins in 2006. Mills helped lead the Buccaneers to the nation’s second-longest winning streak at 14 games stretching over the 2005 and 2006 seasons, garnering their first national ranking in school history.
Honored with the All-American Football Foundation’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002, Mills was named the 2005 Big South Conference Coach of the Year, and the 2005 Buccaneers were named the “Team of the Year” by collegesports.com. During his tenure at CSU, the Buccaneers have literally rewritten the record books offensively. Under his direction, CSU quarterback Collin Drafts became the school’s all-time leading passer and all-time leader in total offense in only three seasons.
Mills is recognized nationally as a top offensive mind, having operated highly successful passing offenses at Harvard and Boise State University prior to becoming CSU’s head coach.
Mills served as the Crimson’s quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator for seven seasons, leading the school to high national rankings for total offense and establishing numerous school records.
In 2001, Harvard committed the fewest turnovers of any Division I-AA school and ranked 11th nationally in total offense. In 2000, Harvard set school records for passing yards (2,885) and total yards (4,679). During those two seasons, eight offensive players earned All Ivy League honors.
After serving three seasons as a graduate assistant at Notre Dame, one year under former South Carolina head coach Lou Holtz, Mills was named quarterbacks and passing game coordinator at Boise State. Mills helped guide Boise State to a pair of NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances, including a berth in the national semifinal game in 1990. Boise State was ranked second nationally in total offense in 1987. Mills’ experience as a head coach came at the University of Minnesota Morris, where he helped lead the program from NAIA status to NCAA Division II status in 1993. Mills and his wife, Kimberly, reside in Goose Creek and are the parents of six children; Stacey Jo (25), Josh (21), Jared (20), Chris (18), Derek (17) and David (12), and on July 12, 2008, the Mills added son-in-law Ryan Tié to the family.

2009 BUCCANEER 2009 Season Outlook
With a 7-5 record in 2008, Charleston Southern won at least five games for the fifth-straight season, despite facing the toughest schedule in school history with two FBS programs, Miami (Fla.) and Miami (Ohio), and two nationally ranked FCS programs (Wofford and Liberty). They will face a similar challenge in 2009 with the defending BCS National Champion Florida Gators, and one of the favorites to win the Big East in South Florida.
“As our program continues to climb and Charleston Southern University continues to be recognized nationally, so does the stage on which we play,” said Coach Jay Mills. “The greater the challenge, the greater the potential reward. Our staff and team come off the momentum of a strong finish in 2008 and look forward to the opportunities provided by this season’s schedule. It’s an exciting time to be a Buccaneer.” OFFENSE “Quality and depth would be the two words I would use to describe our offensive personnel this year,” said Mills. “This unit has the potential to be successful on the ground as well as through the air. This balance, coupled with our primary objective of ball security, should make our offense an exciting group to watch this fall.” Despite having a fresh starter at quarterback for the fourth year in a row, the offense expects to see continued success under Mills’ system. A pair of junior college transfers will battle for playing time with A.J. Toscano (R-Jr., 6-1, 211) holding the edge after having been at CSU for a year and a half. Toscano saw action in one game last year before taking a redshirt in his junior season. Andrew Trudnowski (Jr., 6-4, 212) was an All-American in junior college and will likely see time under center as well. An experienced offensive line will help the quarterback transition, returning four starters up front. Levi McFatter (R-So., 6-4, 287) and J.W. Myers (R-Sr., 6-4, 304) will anchor the edges with James Nicholson (R-Fr., 6-4, 295) and Jarrett Johns (R-Sr., 6-4, 306), who started in 10 games last year, battling for the starting spot. Jordan Lancaster (R-Jr., 6-3, 297) and Nate Kearse (R-Fr., 6-1, 275) will serve as the center, combining with a healthy Zach Mitchell (R-Jr., 6-3, 310) and B.J. Baker (R-So., 6-5, 305) holding an early edge as the guards. Kayson Wharton (R-So, 6-1, 303) and Terrill Foote (R-Fr., 6-4, 276) will add depth to the line. There is plenty of depth at tight end, with Tyrese Harris (R-Sr., 6-2, 250) and Clayton Coffman (R-Sr., 6-2, 242) leading the group as possible all-conference selections. Josh Atkinson (R-Jr., 6-5, 236) also has the ability to block and catch passes, giving him the chance to see playing time as well. The shuffling of running backs is expected to continue in 2009 with Antwan Ivey (So, 5-5, 191) and DeMarcus Moon (Jr., 5-10, 197) both returning. The duo combined for 583 yards last year. Add into the mix Michael Jefferson (R-Sr., 5-7, 188), who ran for 161 yards in 2007, and B.J. Hackworth (R-So., 6-0, 240), who was injured through most of 2008, and the Buccaneer backfield should continue to be a factor. Great wide receivers have become a tradition at Charleston Southern under Mills, and 2009 does not appear to change. Seven of the top eight pass-catchers from last year will be back, including Gerald Stevenson (Jr., 5-9, 162), who will again lead the way as the play-maker for the offense. Tim Jones (Sr., 6-3, 217) adds size to the receiving 16

corps, while Kwame Krakue (R-Jr., 5-10, 178) adds speed and is expected to get additional touches this season. Alex Neal (R-Jr., 5-8, 203) is also expected to start, with the speedy Greg Fiegel (R-Jr., 5-9, 161) and David Bown (R-So, 6-4, 200) also seeing plenty of action. Junior college transfers Anthony Chalmers (R-So., 6-2, 185), Deon Lee (Jr., 6-1, 200) and Frankie Jones (Jr., 6-2, 205) promise to give the Bucs excellent depth at this position. DEFENSE “Although young, our defensive unit may have the best combination of size and speed to date,” said Mills. “Competition for playing time will be fierce at all positions and will certainly assist in the maturation of this unit. I am confident an aggressive, cohesive and consistent performing defense will continue to be the trademark for Buccaneer football.” Not a lot of starters return on the defensive side, but that doesn’t mean that the unit will be lacking experience. Dorein Perkins (Jr., 6-3, 230), Chris Parris (R-Sr., 6-3, 228) and Austin Bloedoorn (R-Sr., 6-0, 279) have both seen plenty of playing time over their careers, combining for action in 51 games. Converted tight ends Ryan Ard (R-Sr., 6-, 227) and Wes Brown (R-Jr., 6-4, 225) will also return, with Ard having made two starts last year before suffering a season-ending injury. Transfers Joel Walton (Jr., 6-1, 235), Brian Thomas (Jr., 6-1, 300), Damon Middleton (Jr., 6-2, 300) and Antonio Brown (R-Jr., 6-1, 288) are also expected to make an immediate impact on the line. Matt Woods (R-So., 6-3, 260) moves back to the defensive front after contributing on the offensive side in 2008, and had an impressive spring season. Second-team all-conference selection Andrew McKain (R-Sr., 6-0, 217) will lead an experienced group of linebackers. David Jackson (R-Jr., 6-2, 226), Fred Godfrey (R-Jr., 5-11, 225) and Chris Patrick (R-Jr., 6-0, 218) all have the talent and experience to start at the MIKE or WILL positions on any given Saturday. Matt Bach (Sr., 5-9, 187) and A.J. Millis (So., 5-10, 192) figure to be the starters on the outside at the SPUR and BANDIT positions, but Mike Springer (R-Fr., 6-0, 209), Joe Robinson (Jr., 5-10, 170) and James Antaplyan (Jr., 5-10, 180) will also see significant time. Jacques Bazile (Jr., 5-9, 167) returns as the most experienced defensive back, having started 11 of 12 games last year. Shawn King (R-So, 5-10, 185) returns after seeing action in nine games last year, while Antwain Harvey (R-Fr., 5-9, 115) and newcomers Kenny Johnson (Fr., 5-6, 150), Charles James (R-Fr., 5-10, 170) and Jordan Fulford (Fr., 5-9, 170) will likely push for starting spots.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – A late Wofford score iced a back-and-forth contest, as the Terriers took down Charleston Southern 41-23 at Gibbs Stadium, Saturday night. The game, originally scheduled for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff at CSU, was moved to Wofford to avoid weather concerns with Hurricane Hanna. The Charleston Southern (0-2) offense gained more than 300 yards of total offense, and CSU held a number of leads in the game, but eventually the wing bone offense of Wofford (2-0) proved too much. Tribble Reese finished the game 30-46 passing with just one interception as he forced a pass in the last few moments of the game. His 46 pass attempts tied him for sixth all-time at CSU, while 30 completions ranked tied for third. Reese threw to 10 different receivers as he accounted for 250 yards and one touchdown. Gerald Stevenson and Tim Jones were the favorite targets, each gathering in five receptions, for 33 and 28 yards, respectively, while Markus Murry had four receptions for a team-high 66 yards. Antwan Ivey got the bulk of the carries, taking 20 rushes for a total of 58 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, it was Josh Warrior who led the way with nine tackles, while Jacques Bazile had eight stops. Special teams proved to play a huge role in the game, with John Paglia hitting three field goals, one shy of the single-game school record, while hitting one from a school record-tying 48-yards. Stevenson had seven kick returns for 255 yards, averaging 36 yards per return.

Antwan Ivey continued to get the bulk of the carries in the backfield with nine for 23 yards. Tribble Reese finished 26-39 with four touchdowns, but also threw two interceptions and a late fumble. He topped 250 yards through the air for the second-straight game, though, with 257 yards, hitting nine different receivers. Markus Murry just missed his first 100-yard game of his senior year as he hauled in a teamhigh six catches for 91 yards. Andrew McKain had his best game as a Buccaneer, leading the way with eight tackles, including five solo stops.

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Charleston Southern used a strong defense to hold down North Greenville as the Bucs won 27-0 in their first home game of the 2008 season, Saturday. All 27 points for CSU (1-3) were scored in the second and third quarter as the Bucs distanced themselves from the Crusaders (1-4). The CSU defense forced eight punts, and Philip Ashley intercepted his first pass of the season as the defense held North Greenville to just 120 total yards on 50 plays. With the interception, Ashley, who returned the pick for 81 yards, is now tied for fifth all-time in school history with six career interceptions. Meanwhile, the offense tallied 372 yards of offense, including 216 through the air from senior quarterback Tribble Reese, who finished 1727 on the day with a pair of touchdown passes. The Bucs pounded out 156 yards on the ground as well, the most for the CSU rushing attack since Oct. 6, 2007, when they rushed for 272 yards against Savannah State. Antwan Ivey led the way on the ground as the freshman had 71 yards on 15 carries. Transfer T.J. Latimore added 38 yards on seven carries. CSU held NGU quarterback Richard Harb to just 11-24 passing for 88 yards, sacking him three times. Okeba Rollinson led the way with six tackles, while Justin Witzmann, Andrew McKain and Jake Killeen tallied the three sacks.

CHARLESTON, S.C. – A 26-yard field goal by John Paglia with time winding down proved the difference at Buccaneer Field, Saturday as Charleston Southern took down Gardner-Webb 13-10 in the Big South opener for both teams. Special teams were key for CSU as a 61-yard kickoff return by Gerald Stevenson set up the game-winning drive. Stevenson, who had 103 yards on three returns, scampered 61 yards to try and provide an answer to the 21-yard field goal by Ryan Gates tied the game with 1:46 on the clock. Freshman punter Andy Brown also played a major role in the game with seven puts for 316 yards, a 45.1 yard average. Of his seven punts, five were inside the 20 and four were inside the 10 yardline, none bounced in for touchbacks. Thanks in large part to Brown, the average field starting field position for GWU in the second half was their own 14 yardline. With 86 offensive plays, Gardner-Webb (2-3, 0-1) ran almost twice as many plays as Charleston Southern (45), and out-gained CSU (2-3, 1-0) by 248 yards (471-223), but it was the Buccaneers that came out on top, thanks in part to four turnovers by GWU. Late in the first quarter, Dorein Perkins forced the first turnover of the day as he knocked the ball out of quarterback Stan Doolittle’s hands, with Quinton Johnson pouncing on the loose ball. Josh Warrior and Kamalu Umu each tallied an interception on the day, while Philip Ashley accounted for the final turnover with his second interception of the season. Ashley’s pick was the seventh of his career, tying him for first all-time at CSU, fifth all-time in the Big South. Quarterback Tribble Reese finished the day 12-23 with one interception and 135 yards, with DeMarcus Moon and Alex Neal each recording three receptions.

STONY BROOK, N.Y. - Charleston Southern’s first Big South game was won in the last moments, their second went the other way as CSU fell 2019 to Stony Brook, Saturday. The victory gave SBU their first Big South victory on homecoming, moving them to 2-5, while CSU fell back below .500 at 3-4. Both teams now have a 1-1 Big South record. A touchdown pass with 1:06 on the clock proved the difference as Stony Brook took a one-point lead and held on for the victory. Leading for the majority of the game, CSU trailed for just 3:22 in the game, but found themselves on the short-end of the scoreboard when it was over. For the fifth time this season, CSU had more than 300 yards of total offense (331), but surrendered 417 to the Seawolf offense, including 225 yards on the ground. Tribble Reese finished the game with 218 yards through the air on a 19-of-33 day in which CSU had just one costly turnover at the end of the game. All three of Reese’s touchdown passes went to Gerald Stevenson, who had 143 yards on seven catches, the most by any CSU receiver this year, and became the first CSU wide out to top 100 yards in a game this season. Defensively, CSU was led by Andrew McKain, who had nine tackles, two for loss and a fumble recovery, leading to the first CSU touchdown. Chris Richards tied McKain for game-high honors with nine stops to lead the Seawolves. Dayne Hoffman finished 17-for-31 for 210 yards. Conte Cuttino and Edwin Godwins just missed making it two 100-yard backs as they ran for 107 and 97 yards, respectively.

The Buccaneers evened their record at 5-5 on the season with their thirdstraight victory over PC, who fell to 4-6 with the loss. The Buc defense forced three-and-outs on the first two PC drives, pushing the PC offense back for a combined 18 yards. A roughing the kicker penalty on the second PC drive kept the offense on the field for the Blue Hose, but the CSU defense responded again with a three-and-out.

Offensively, CSU continued to work toward a balanced attack, topping 100 yards on the ground for the fourth time in five games. B.J.

CHARLESTON, S.C. – The 2008 Charleston Southern senior class went out in style, Saturday, taking down Edward Waters 48-6 in the final home game of the season. It completed the second undefeated home schedule for the class, having done it in 2006 as part of a 9-2 season. With the victory, Charleston Southern (6-5, 2-2) assured themselves at least a .500 record for the year, despite having faced two FBS opponents this season. The Bucs will go to Coastal Carolina to finish up their 2008 schedule with a 6 p.m. scheduled kickoff between the Big South rivals. Tribble Reese completed 10 of 14 passes for 163 yards and four touchdowns, playing just one series into the second half. Redshirt freshman Gabe Gilmour stepped in nicely, completing his first career touchdown pass on a seven-yard pass to Josh Atkinson. In addition to his 24 passing yards on four completions, Gilmour rushed for 31 yards on five carries. Senior Markus Murry had his best game of the season with 100 receiving yards on five catches with one touchdown. Murry is now just 72 yards shy of third-all time in receiving yards. It was a game of firsts for CSU as Atkinson and Kwame Krakue each caught the first touchdown pass of their careers. Kamau Leitner finished 15-29 for 133 yards to Edward Waters (3-8), but was intercepted twice by the Bucs. Nadens Madeus led the Tigers with eight tackles, while Rahsaan Barton had two of the three sacks for EWC. CSU tied a season-high with 10 tackles for loss and sacked Leitner for a season-best five times. Philip Ashley and Steven Lewis each picked off a pass, while Quinton Johnson forced and recovered a fumble.

CONWAY, S.C. – Charleston Southern finished the season with four-straight victories after taking down Coastal Carolina 24-0, Saturday. It was the first win in Conway for the Bucs (7-5, 3-2), who also handed the Chanticleers (6-6, 1-4) their first shut out in school history. The defense forced six turnovers (three interceptions and three fumbles) to aid them in their quest for their second shut out of the season. Andrew McKain led the way with 12 tackles, including 10 in the first half. McKain also led with 2.5 tackles-for-loss as the defense made nine stops in the backfield. Philip Ashley had two interceptions, while Josh Mitchell had one. With the pick, Ashley, who already holds the career record for interceptions with 10 interceptions, set the school record with his sixth interception in 2008. Gerald Stevenson finished the game as the leading receiver (four catches, 20 yards) and the leading rusher (10 carries, 63 yards) for CSU. Tribble Reese finished 11-18 for 82 yards with one interception but two touchdowns in the victory. With 153 yards on the ground, CSU had more rushing yards than passing for the first time since last year’s finale against Coastal. The Chanticleers held a slight advantage in total yards (276-235), and dominated the time of possession in the first half, holding the ball for more than 10 minutes in each of the first two quarters. CSU evened the mark controlling play for 11 minutes in the third quarter and nine minutes in the fourth. Coastal used three different quarterbacks in the contest to gain 180 yards, but combined for just 96 rushing yards as a team. Charleston Southern finishes the season with their third winning record in four years, despite scheduling two FBS schools in their first three games to start the year. The victory also put the Buccaneers in a tie for second place in the Big South.

2009 BUCCANEER Bucs In the Community
Charleston Southern University is passing along its culture of servanthood to its students, and once again, the football team has jumped on board, participating in many different volunteer projects around the community. During the 2008-09 school year, the Buccaneers sponsored many events as a team and sent individual players to a number of different community service projects. Throughout the year, the team participated in 12 different community service projects, along with mentoring programs at two elementary schools, logging 654 total hours of community service. As they have done the past few years, the Buccaneer football team sponsored a Red Cross Blood Drive on campus. To take it a step further, the team petitioned the community and successfully filled every available spot.
Coach Mills and his staff also felt that it was important for the team to be active in the local schools, sending athletes to serve as mentors at Ladson Elementary and Alice Birney Middle School, as well as participating in the Flowertown Elementary and Devon Forest Carnivals.
“The (CSU) football players that served as mentors truly had a very positive impact on the boys,” said Celeste Bearden of Alice Birney Middle School. “I know this because the boys are continually talking to me about the group. The mentors really made them feel special.”
Each year, Charleston Southern University hosts the “Closing the Gap in Healthcare” Track Meet, hosting preteen and teenage athletes for a track meet. Many CSU athletes help out at the event by holding booths and clinics for the kids. The football team had more than 80 players show up to support the meet. “We’re not only a football team, we’re also a big part of this University and of this community,” Mills said. “It’s important that our athletes make positive contributions on and off the field of competition.” The Buccaneers also sent team members to Catalyst, the Peony Street Rebuilding Project, as well as helping with Habitat for Humanity. Members also helped out with Water Missions International, a nonprofit organization working on a water purification system that was sent to Honduras to allow them safe drinking water. “The team served with enthusiasm and were willing to help out in any way that they could,” said Corey Humphries, Catalyst Coordinator. “They provided quality service and were all respectable, presentable, and men of character and integrity.” The team also spent time together playing paintball, hosting luaus, and touring New York City prior to their contest against Stony Brook.
For their efforts, the football team was given the 2009 CSU SAAC Team Community Service Award.
Charleston Southern has had a football player honored at the Atlanta Area Boy Scouts Peach of an Athlete banquet in each of the last three years. Kicker Nick Ellis was honored twice, including being named the top male honoree at the 2008 banquet. Tyrese Harris earned the distinction in 2009. The honor is given to athletes from Georgia, who are considered to be the top role models for their actions on the field, in the classroom and in the community. 62

FOOTBALL GUIDE 2005: A Championship Season
On Nov. 12, 2005, a touchdown against Liberty with 1:10 remaining in the game clinched the first winning season in Charleston Southern history. The Bucs went on to beat nationally ranked Coastal Carolina in double-overtime the next week to claim the football team’s first Big South Championship.
The 2005 team set a school record by winning their final five games of the season. The 2006 team continued the momentum, winning their first nine games to combine for the secondlongest winning streak in the nation at 14.
On April 9, 2006, immediately following the Edward A. Gadson Memorial Spring Game, fans flocked to the CSU Field House to celebrate football’s first conference championship in school history.

2009 BUCCANEER Buccaneers’ Landing
Buccaneer Field and the Whitfield Stadium Center have been the home of the Buccaneer football team since the 1999 season. Going into the 2009 season, the Buccaneers are 35-21 all-time at home. The Buccaneers have posted winning seasons at home in each of the last five years, including undefeated home seasons in 2006 and 2008, and have posted just two seasons below .500 at home since the renovation. Prior to the 2005 Big South Championship season, the Buccaneers built a new scoreboard on the south end of the stadium, featuring a full-color Daktronics video board. Buccaneer Field has a 4,000 seat capacity, including chair back seats along the 50-yard line. The Whitfield Stadium Center houses the coaches’ offices, a third-floor suite that is available for banquets or other events, as well as a press area on the fourth floor. The top floor of the Whitfield Stadium Center is divided up to allow private boxes for each coaching staff, a home and visiting radio, as well as the press suite and stat crew. The president’s suite is also located on the top floor. Roof access is also available for television cameras to catch all of the action. Buccaneer Field will play host to five home games in 2009. The home-opener on Sept. 26 will be Youth Football Day, while the October 24th contest against Liberty will be Homecoming Weekend. The 2009 senior class will be honored prior to the final game of the season on Nov. 21 against Coastal Carolina. 64

Since its founding in 1983, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The League’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by athletic accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the Conference’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics.” The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted fullfledged NCAA Division I status. During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths in several national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received its first au-
tomatic bid – receiving an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television package, featuring the Big South competing among some of the finest teams in the nation. In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’s third Commissioner, and in his 13 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new levels. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during the past several years, he has brought television coverage to Big South women’s basketball, baseball and softball for the first time in Conference history, as well as increased national television exposure to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages. Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as a distinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutional life through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add football as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, and has solidified Conference membership with the additions of High Point, Gardner-Webb and Presbyterian, and in 2011-12, the return of charter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its first live event video streaming in 2005 and has
Promoting Academic Excellence in a Christian Environment
FOOTBALL GUIDE since expanded its video offerings to more than 600 events annually through a partnership with the member institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms. In the last 15 years alone, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Conference has had two individual National Champions, more than 200 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoor track & field, and men’s golf, had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship four times in addition to the first men’s tennis doubles at-large selection, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country, has had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team three consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, received an at-large playoff berth in the Football Championship Subdivision in 2006, and had an institution finish fifth in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships – the Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event.
Kyle B. Kallander Commisioner
In 2006-07 alone, the Big South was the only Conference nationwide to have an at-large participant in the football playoffs (Coastal Carolina), a team in the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (Winthrop) and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Baseball Regionals (Coastal Carolina). In fact, Coastal Carolina’s baseball program has been a No. 1 seed three out of the last five years, while its FCS playoff berth in 2006 came in just the fifth-year of the Big South’s football existence. The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25th Anniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with Liberty University’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 19962007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s first 25 years. The Conference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. Annually, more than 40 percent of Conference student-athletes are named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, and the League has had more than 95 Academic All-Americans in its quarter-century of existence.
