2018-19 NEBRASKA MEN'S TENNIS
MAYMI LOOKS TO MAKE HISTORY Rebuild the program. Make history. Sean Maymi is only starting his career as a head coach, but his objectives aren’t for beginners. Maymi is a rising star in collegiate coaching, and he plans to use his successful past as a driving force for a complete program turnaround. "I am thrilled to be coaching the Nebraska men's tennis team," Maymi said. "The coaching staff has held the players to a high standard both physically and mentally. The team has done a great job of embracing a growth mindset and trying to improve every day. This is a process and we will always be building and improving. I know the future is bright and this team will be the start of something very special." Maymi has extensive ties to the Big Ten Conference in two successful stints as the associate head coach at Michigan. He helped the Wolverines to eight NCAA Tournament appearances in his nine seasons as an assistant in Ann Arbor. In 2008, Maymi was named the ITA Midwest Region Assistant Coach of the Year after assisting Michigan’s run to the NCAA Tournament round of 16 and a No. 16 final national ranking. He is joined by assistant coach and long-time friend Tom Boysen, who carries nine seasons of college coaching experience in addition to three years as a coach and manager for professional athletes. Boysen was named the ITA Northeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year in 2016 after helping Dartmouth to a runner-up finish in the Ivy League. He also helped SEC power Vanderbilt finish in the national rankings in all five of his seasons with the Commodores. Maymi will also have the help of volunteer assistant coach Nikola Andjelic, the only ‘veteran’ in the coaching staff. Andjelic enters his fourth year at Nebraska in 2018-19 after helping the Huskers to an 11-15 record last season. The 2016 Nebraska graduate helped Dusty Boyer to first-team All-Big Ten honors in 2016. Maymi and his coaching staff inherit a balanced eight-man roster with two seniors, two juniors, two sophomores and two freshmen. After finishing 11th in the Big Ten last year, the Huskers will rely on senior Toby Boyer as a key component to lead the team to a higher finish in 2018-19. Boyer is coming off his best season as a Husker, and one of the best individual seasons in Nebraska history. He reached the ITA Central Regional Singles final in the fall, becoming only the second Husker to reach the event finals since Karl Falkland won the tournament in 1993. The Ham Lake, Minn., native posted a 26-14 overall record in 2017-18. His 26 singles wins ranked fourth on Nebraska’s single-season list. Jon Meyer brings his experience and leadership on and off the court to his last season as a Husker. The Lincoln Southwest grad didn’t see much action in 2017-18, but maintained his stellar performance in the classroom. Meyer earned the 2018 Sam Foltz Hero 27 Leadership Award, was a member of the 2018 Tom Osborne Citizenship Team and claimed his second straight
Senior Toby Boyer will be one of Nebraska’s leaders in 2018-19. The Ham Lake, Minn., native had one of the best individual seasons in Nebraska history with 26 singles wins in 2017-18. academic All-Big Ten honor in 2018. Juniors Chris Dean and Micah Klousia showed great improvement in their second year at Nebraska in 2018. Dean notched a 13-9 overall mark in singles and a 3-4 record in spring Big Ten play. Dean’s conference record was the team’s second-best, trailing only senior Linus Erhart, who finished 5-6. Klousia had his best season in the win column at Nebraska as a sophomore last year. The Springfield, Mo., native played most of his matches out of the No. 4 position and concluded his singles campaign at 11-17. Isaac Nortey and Alvaro Moreno Lozano are the two sophomores on the Huskers’ 2019 roster. Nortey, a native of Ghana, posted an 11-10 singles record in 2018, playing primarily out of the No. 5 position. Alvaro is from Madrid, Spain, and a transfer from the University of NebraskaKearney, where he posted a 3-3 record as a freshman in 2017-18, playing primarily out of the No. 6 spot. Victor Moreno Lozano, Alvaro's younger brother, and William Gleason close out Nebraska’s 2019 roster as two talented freshmen. William Gleason is a Lincoln, Neb., native and was a four-star recruit from Lincoln Southwest High School. He was ranked No. 138 nationally and climbed as high as No. 76 in 16 and Under Singles in 2016. Gleason is also a three-time Nebraska High School Boys Class A Singles champion. Victor was ranked No. 5 nationally in Spain for
Boys 16 and Under Singles in 2016, and No. 1 in Madrid for Boys 16 and Under Singles. He also reached the No. 90 spot in all of Spain Men’s Singles, including tennis professionals such as Rafael Nadal, Pablo Carreno Busta, Roberto Bautista and Fernando Verdasco. Head Coach Sean Maymi developed a stronger non-conference schedule for Nebraska as a starting point for a program turnaround in 2019. The Huskers will open the season at the Florida State Spring Invitational, Jan. 12-13. The Huskers rest for a couple of weeks before traveling to Dallas, Texas to play SMU and Northern Colorado on Saturday, Jan. 26. Nebraska will make its 2018-19 home debut on Wednesday, Jan. 30, against the UMKC Kangaroos. The Huskers hit the road again on Sunday, Feb. 3 to face Baylor, before returning back to Lincoln for a three-match home stand at the Dillon Tennis Center. The Big Red will play Denver on Saturday, Feb. 9, before facing two in-state rivals the following day, as NU takes on Omaha and Creighton on Sunday, Feb. 10. Nebraska travels to Des Moines, Iowa to play Drake and North Dakota on Sunday, Feb. 23. NU then hits the road to play an old Big 12 foe as it challenges Texas Tech on Sunday, March 3.

2018-19 NEBRASKA MEN'S TENNIS
SEAN MAYMI Head Coach (First Season)
A rising star in collegiate coaching with strong connections to the Big Ten, Florida and California, Sean Maymi was announced as the new men’s tennis coach at the University of Nebraska by Athletic Director Bill Moos on June 13, 2018. Maymi (pronounced MY-mee) has extensive ties to the Big Ten Conference in two successful stints as the associate head coach at Michigan. He helped the Wolverines to eight NCAA Tournament appearances in his nine seasons as an assistant in Ann Arbor. In 2008, Maymi was named the ITA Midwest Region Assistant Coach of the Year after aiding Michigan’s run to the NCAA Tournament round of 16 and a No. 16 final national ranking. This past season, Maymi helped guide Michigan back to the round of 16 in the NCAA Tournament, as the Wolverines finished No. 14 in the final ITA rankings after a 22-6 season that included an 8-2 Big Ten Conference mark. “I am delighted that Sean Maymi is leading our men’s tennis program,” Moos said. “His energy and vision along with his background as a proven winner fit perfectly with the goals and objectives that we embrace at Nebraska.” Maymi said he jumped at the opportunity to chart a new course in the Husker men’s tennis program, after becoming just the fourth head coach in the last 68 seasons of Nebraska tennis. “I am extremely grateful and blessed to be the head coach of the Nebraska men’s tennis team,” Maymi said. “I am motivated to lead this program and challenge these young men to achieve great things on and off the court.” In his first five seasons at Michigan from 2006-07 through 2010-11, the Wolverines advanced to five straight national tournaments and finished No. 34 or higher in the ITA national rankings all five seasons. Michigan climbed as high as No. 8 in the ITA rankings in both 2008 and 2011 before Maymi’s departure from the Wolverines and then-head coach Bruce Berque. In 2014-15, Michigan chose new leadership for its tennis program with the hiring of Adam Steinberg, who previously led Pepperdine to an NCAA team title in 2006. Steinberg brought Maymi back to the Wolverine staff for the start of the spring dual campaign. After a losing season in 2014-15, Maymi helped Michigan to three consecutive 20-win seasons and three straight top-25 final national rankings, including a No. 14 ranking in 2017-18.
North Florida (2003)
For three seasons from 2011-12 through 2013-14, Maymi stepped away from collegiate tennis to work as the general manager of the global division and director of business development for Todd Martin Tennis in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. Martin is the current CEO of the International Tennis Hall of Fame and a former ATP Player who was ranked as high as No. 4 in the world in the 1990s. Maymi also spent six months training players at the Junior Tennis Champions Center - a world-class training center for young players in College Park, Md. After returning to Michigan for the dual season in 2015, Maymi also served as the primary coach for current ATP player Evan King, who was ranked as high as No. 185 in the world in early 2018. King was a three-time ITA All-American and two-time Big Ten Men’s Tennis Athlete of the Year (2012, 2013) as a player at Michigan. Maymi’s playing and coaching career has established strong connections from coast to coast. As a collegiate player, Maymi was a fouryear letterwinner and two-time team captain at North Florida, helping the Ospreys to NCAA Division II Championship appearances in 1999 and 2001. He also served as an assistant coach for both the men’s and women’s tennis teams in 2001-02 before graduating with his bachelor’s degree as a communications/advertising major in 2003. Maymi worked with ATP professional Michael Russell in 2002-03, acting as a coach, hitting partner and strength and conditioning leader. He also served as a member of the Player Services team at ATP International Headquarters in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., in 2003. In 2004, he served as an assistant coach for the men’s and women’s teams at ClaremontMudd-Scripps Colleges in Claremont, Calif. He went on to work as a teaching professional while providing personal and group coaching to
top-ranked junior players at the Racquet Club of Lake Bluff, Ill., in 2004-05. He also made his first connection in the Big Ten Conference as a volunteer coach for the Northwestern men’s tennis team, helping the Wildcats to the NCAA Tournament. In 2005-06, Maymi returned to California as an assistant coach at Fresno State. He helped the Bulldogs to the Western Athletic Conference title match while coaching the WAC Player of the Year and four other all-conference players before starting his first assistant coaching stint at Michigan in 2006-07. Originally from Yorktown, Va., Sean and his wife, Samantha, have three daughters and a son.

TOM BOYSEN Assistant Coach (First Season)
Tom Boysen carries nine seasons of college coaching experience in addition to three years as a coach and manager for professional athletes. He also spent four seasons as a coach at the prep level. In 2016, he was named the ITA Northeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year
Central Florida (1992)
after helping Dartmouth to a runner-up finish in the Ivy League. Boysen also helped SEC power Vanderbilt finish in the national rankings in all five of his seasons with the Commodores. “I am thrilled to have Tom in the Husker family,” Nebraska Head Coach Sean Maymi said. “He has been part of some great programs, and I am very confident in his ability to help lead these young men. His experience on the college and pro levels will make a big impact on this program.” Boysen spent the past four seasons as an assistant at Dartmouth, helping the Big Green to a pair of regular-season runner-up finishes in the Ivy League in 2015 and 2016. Dartmouth climbed as high as No. 34 in the ITA national rankings in 2016, concluding the season with a 17-9 overall record and a 6-1 mark in the Ivy. Dartmouth finished No. 42 in the ITA final rankings in 2015. Boysen coached an Ivy League Player of the Year and two Ivy League Rookies of the Year in his time with the Big Green. In his five seasons at Vanderbilt from 2006 to 2010, Boysen assisted the team’s run to three NCAA Tournament appearances. He helped the
Commodores to NCAA Tournament first-round wins in 2007 and 2008, and Vanderbilt finished each of his five seasons in the ITA rankings – including No. 26 in 2008. Boysen also helped two players advance to the NCAA Singles Tournament on four occasions at the SEC school. Boysen coached prep-level tennis at the Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville for four years, leading the team to Tennessee State Championships in his first two seasons in 2011 and 2012. He also toured around the world for three years working with four professional athletes – Todd Widom, Scott Lipsky, David Martin and Andres Pedroso. Widom was ranked as high as No. 200 in the ATP standings and competed in three U.S. Open qualifying draws. Lipsky won the 2011 French Open Mixed Doubles Championship. Martin and Lipsky advanced to the round of 16 at Wimbledon, and the pair competed in the semifinals at Newport. Boysen graduated from the University of Central Florida in 1992 with a degree in management. He was also a member of the Knights’ varsity tennis team.
NIKOLA ANDJELIC Volunteer Assistant Coach (Fourth Season)
Nebraska (2016)
Nikola Andjelic joins the Nebraska men’s tennis coaching staff for his fourth season in 2018-19, after helping the Huskers produce an 11-15 record in 2017-18. Andjelic owns extensive experience at several levels, including working with international, collegiate and professional tennis players. In addition to serving as an assistant coach at West Virginia, Andjelic worked at the Academia Sanchez-Casal in Naples, Fla. He was also the director of human performance at the Junior Tennis Champions Center in Washington, D.C. Andjelic has experience with major competitions including multiple Grand Slams, Premier Events, WTA Tour events and many others, which Nebraska Head Coach Sean Maymi said should provide major benefits to the Husker program.

PERSONAL
Washington State, B.A. (History) 1973 Family: Kendra (wife); Bo, Benjamin (sons); Christa, Brittany and Kati (daughters) Honor the past. Live the present. Create the future. Nine simple words that carry impressive significance and undeniable responsibility. Words that Nebraska’s new athletic director uses to lead his programs and set the tone for building champions in competition and in life. William H. (Bill) Moos was named Nebraska’s Athletic Director on Oct. 15, 2017, and fully assumed those responsibilities on Oct. 23. Moos, who became the 15th athletic director in the history of the storied Cornhusker program, brings nearly 25 years of experience as an athletic director at three Division I schools (Washington State, Oregon, Montana) with him to Nebraska. More importantly, he brings an impressive track record of success in building outstanding programs, developing long-term relationships, and for doing what is best for his schools, its fans and most importantly, its student-athletes. “When you name the top three, four, five athletic programs in the great positions as an athletic director, Nebraska is in that same breath,” Moos said at his introductory press conference at Memorial Stadium. “I want you to know that my motto has always been, in the 25 years I have been a Division I athletic director and it will be here too is very simple - honor the past, live the present, create the future.”
In his first six months at Nebraska, Moos made three coaching hires. He drew universal praise for hiring Scott Frost, the 2017 consensus national coach of the year, as Nebraska’s head football coach in December. Following the spring semester, Moos also hired Mark Hankins to coach the men’s golf team and Sean Maymi to lead the men’s tennis program. Moos also oversaw several team successes in his first six months in Lincoln. He watched the volleyball team win its fifth national title and second in three seasons in December. In 2018, both the men’s and women’s gymnastics teams finished in the top six at the NCAA Championships, while bowling finished third and rifle finished eighth. Nebraska also continued its excellence in the classroom, producing four CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, including three first-team selections. The awards increased Nebraska’s nation-leading total to 333 all-time CoSIDA Academic All-Americans across all sports. Moos came to Lincoln after spending seven-plus years at Washington State (2010-17). He previously served 12 highly successful seasons as the athletic director at Oregon (1995-2007). During his time at his alma mater, Moos wasted little time in making his impact felt in Cougar Athletics, spearheading a department-wide rebranding effort with Nike while securing a 10-year, $35 million marketing rights agreement with IMG College. In addition, the 2004 WSU Alumni Achievement Award winner gained Regents approval for a $130 million addition and remodel of Martin Stadium, featuring a remodeled press box with luxury seating, including suites, loge boxes and club room. Also included in the project was a state-of-the-art video board and an 80,000-square-foot football operations building that served as the stadium’s showpiece and opened in May 2014. As the dean of Pac-12 athletic directors, Moos was at the forefront of the conference’s procurement of a 12-year, $3 billion television contract with FOX and ESPN, a landmark agreement in college athletics. Under Moos’ direction, the Cougar Athletic Fund’s Annual Giving program saw an 81 percent increase in gifts while CAF donor members rose from nearly 4,000 to more than 7,500. Additional facility enhancements under Moos included a center-hung video board in Beasley Coliseum that was installed prior to the 2011-12 season, giving Cougar basketball one of the premier fan experiences in the conference. An indoor golf hitting facility was also completed in early 2013, and Lower Soccer Field underwent a major renovation making the venue TVready while also providing one of the best playing surfaces on the West Coast, along with the addition of lights and a new scoreboard. Other enhancements were made to the Moobery track facility, Bailey-Brayton Field, the basketball practice gym, Gibb Pool and the Simmelink Indoor tennis courts. In Moos’ seven years at WSU, Cougar student-athletes and coaches accounted for 805 academic all-conference selections, 130 all-conference accolades, 45 All-America honors and three Pac-12 Coach-of-the-Year honors. Moos served as Oregon’s director of athletics from July of 1995 to 2007. While at Oregon he oversaw a 17-sport athletic department that grew to national prominence during his tenure.Oregon’s annual athletic department budget grew from $18.5 million in his first year to more than $40 million by 2007, becoming 100 percent self-sufficient during that time. Under his direction the Duck Athletic Fund donor base increased from 4,930 to 12,290, resulting in an annual gifts increase from $4.1 million to $15.3 million.

In his 12 years, the Ducks ranked first in Pac-10 football attendance 11 times, reaching 100 percent capacity in each of those seasons. During Moos’ tenure, Oregon athletics captured 13 Pac-10 championships across six different sports. He increased opportunities for women by adding two intercollegiate programs, soccer and lacrosse, and negotiated an all-inclusive shoe and apparel contract with Nike, one of only 14 in the country at the time. From an academic standpoint during Moos’ tenure, Oregon student-athletes collected 722 academic all-conference selections, 34 Academic All-America selections, nine NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipients and one NCAA Top Ten Award. During his first stint as a collegiate athletic director at Montana (1990-95), Moos created an academic support program and hired its first athletic academic coordinator, developed a facility enhancement plan that created more than $4 million in improvements, and lifted the school’s fund-raising efforts to show a 300 percent increase in private and corporate gifts. Academically, Montana student-athletes were equally successful as the athletic department achieved a graduation rate 20 percent higher than the general university enrollment. Under Moos’ watch Montana garnered 269 academic all-conference selections, five Academic All-Americans and two NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipients. Moos began his athletic career as an athletic administrator in 1982 as assistant athletic director at Washington State. He also served as the school’s associate athletic director (1988-90). At Washington State, he was director of development for more than five years and associate director for nearly two years, supervising all external operations. Prior to that, he managed and owned private businesses in Washington and Oregon for eight years. He was a student assistant football coach at Washington State for the 1973 season, then spent part of 1974 in Washington, D.C., serving as a government intern. Raised on a wheat and cattle ranch in eastern Washington, Moos attended high school in Olympia when his father served in the governor’s cabinet. Moos earned his bachelor’s degree in history from WSU and was a three-year letterman in football before concluding his collegiate career by representing Washington State in the 1972 East-West Shrine All-Star Game in San Francisco. He served as co-captain on the Cougars’ 1972 squad and garnered first-team All-Pac-8 Conference honors. Moos and his wife Kendra have three daughters: Christa, Brittany and Kaiti; and two sons, Bo and Benjamin.

HANK M. BOUNDS, PH.D University of Nebraska President (Fifth Year)
On Jan. 12, 2015, the Board of Regents appointed lifelong educator Hank M. Bounds, Ph.D., as the seventh president of the University of Nebraska. Bounds began his tenure as president on April 13, 2015, bringing with him a demonstrated record of expanding opportunities for students, improving higher education outcomes and efficiencies, and building successful partnerships with policymakers, donors and business leaders. He has continued working to improve educational outcomes and build partnerships since his arrival in Nebraska. Bounds has connected with leaders within the university, in the private sector, in government and in the military to increase collaboration and innovation. In late
2015, he worked with the University of Nebraska Foundation to launch a two-year, $200 million fundraising initiative to increase access and create success for current and future students. In 2015, Bounds also launched a university-wide Food for Health Initiative - the first of several programs designed to increase collaborations across NU and incentivize new research that addresses critical issues important to Nebraskans and result in greater research funding opportunities. Supporting quality teaching is an important focus for Bounds, and in the spring of 2016, he made a $3.5 million strategic investment to hire additional faculty and expand NU’s online course offerings. Bounds also announced late in 2015 that NU’s enrollment had grown to its highest level in 22 years - marking progress toward the Board of Regents’ goals to expand educational access to Nebraskans and attract more talent to the state to meet workforce needs. Bounds grew up in Mississippi. His service in the Army National Guard helped him pay for college, and he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Southern Mississippi and a doctorate from the University of Mississippi. Bounds has devoted his 25-year career to helping change students’ lives in the same way education opened doors in his own life. He began as a high school teacher, then rose to principal, superintendent and state superintendent before becoming Mississippi’s commissioner of higher education in 2009. In that role, he oversaw a complex system of eight public universities.
Southern Mississippi (1991)
Today, under his leadership, the University of Nebraska enrolls nearly 52,000 students, employes over 13,000 faculty and staff, and operates with an annual budget of $2.5 billion - including $235 million in research expenditures. He has identified four cornerstones that will separate NU from the rest of higher education and define a new era in university history: (1) The University of Nebraska will be the best university in the nation to be a student. (2) The University of Nebraska will transform lives through research and innovation. (3) The University of Nebraska will work hand in hand with our partners to achieve our goals. (4) The University of Nebraska will win with people. Bounds holds a faculty appointment in the College of Education and Human Sciences at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and courtesy faculty appointments in the Colleges of Education at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and the University of Nebraska at Kearney. He serves on the board of directors for several organizations, including the National Association of System Heads (NASH), the Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Institute, the Nebraska Innovation Campus Development Corporation, the Nebraska Advanced Manufacturing Coalition and the Consultation Committee for U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM). He is also on the Board of Governors for the Knights of AKSARBEN. He and his wife, Susie, are the parents of a son, Will, and a daughter, Caroline. They reside in Lincoln.

With the match riding on Klousia’s final set, he captured the set, 6-3, to give the Big Red a Big Ten win in East Lansing. The Glendale High School graduate was the only Husker to win a match at the Big Ten Tournament, defeating Wisconsin’s Chema Carranza, 6-3, 7-5, on April 26. In doubles competition, Klousia finished the spring season with an 8-11 mark, including a 1-7 record in conference play. Playing mostly at No. 2 doubles, Klousia teamed with Dylan Bednarczyk to go 5-1 in the spring. Klousia also had success in the classroom, earning academic All-Big Ten honors for the second straight season, as well as a place on the 2018 Tom Osborne Citizenship Team for his efforts in the community.
Klousia was a two-time state finalist and consistently ranked No. 1 and No. 2 among each age group in the Missouri Valley region. Klousia attended Glendale High School in Springfield, Mo., where he graduated as an honor student.

BIG TEN CONFERENCE Known as one of intercollegiate sports’ most successful undertakings, the Big Ten is home to a lineage of legendary names and an ongoing tradition of developing strong leaders. Even in its infancy, the conference established itself as the preeminent collection of institutions in the nation, where the pursuit of academic excellence prevailed as the definitive goal. The history of the Big Ten traces back 122 years to the Palmer House hotel in Chicago, where on Jan. 11, 1895, then-Purdue president James H. Smart and leaders from the universities of Chicago, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, James E. Delany Northwestern and Wisconsin set out to organize and develop Commissioner principles for the regulation of intercollegiate athletics. At that meeting, a blueprint for the administration of college athletics under the direction of appointed faculty representatives was outlined. The presidents’ first known action “restricted eligibility for athletics to bonafide, full-time students who were not delinquent in their studies.” That important legislation, along with other legislation that would follow in the coming years, served as the primary building block for intercollegiate athletics. On Feb. 8, 1896, one faculty member from each of those seven universities met at the same Palmer House and officially established the mechanics of the conference, which was officially incorporated as the “Intercollegiate Conference Athletic Association” in 1905. Indiana and Iowa became the eighth and ninth members in 1899. In 1908, Michigan briefly withdrew its membership, and in 1912 Ohio State joined the conference, bringing its membership total back to nine. Upon Michigan’s return in 1917, the conference was first referred to as the “Big Ten” by media members, and that name was eventually incorporated in 1987. As the 1900s opened, faculty representatives established rules for intercollegiate athletics that were novel for the time. As early as 1904, the faculty approved legislation that required eligible athletes to meet entrance requirements and to have completed a full year’s work, along with having one year of residence. In 1901, the first Big Ten Championship event was staged when the outdoor track and field championships were held at the University of Chicago. The debut event marked what is now a staple of conference competition. Today, the Big Ten sponsors 28 official sports, 14 for men and 14 for women, including the addition of men’s ice hockey and men’s and women’s lacrosse the last three years. Big Ten schools compete in a total of 42 sports, furthering the conference’s commitment to broad-based programming and providing more participation opportunities than any conference in the country. One of the conference’s proudest traditions began in 1902 when Michigan took on Stanford in the Rose Bowl, the nation’s first bowl game. Big Ten teams only appeared in Pasadena twice before the conference signed an exclusive contract with the Tournament of Roses in 1946, making it the first bowl game with permanent conference affiliations. But Michigan’s appearance in 1902 cultivated a relationship that has endured for more than a century. Coupling the academic goals set forth by the conference leaders and their steadfast commitment to athletics, the conference instituted the Big Ten Medal of Honor in 1915. It is awarded annually by each conference institution to a student of the graduating class who has attained the greatest proficiency in scholarship and athletics. It is the most prestigious honor a student competing in Big Ten athletics can receive. In 1922, Major John L. Griffith became the conference’s first “Commissioner of Athletics.” Griffith was the first of five men to assume the role of commissioner in the conference’s history, followed by Kenneth L. “Tug” Wilson in 1945, Bill Reed in 1961, Wayne Duke in 1971 and current commissioner James E. Delany in 1989. After nearly 30 years with 10 members, the conference consolidated to nine schools when Chicago formally withdrew its membership in 1946. Michigan State was added to the Big Ten three years later, bringing the number of affiliated conference schools to 10 once again. In 1955, the Big Ten formulated a revenue-sharing model designed to pool all football television rights of its members and share those proceeds equally. The conference and its members continue to utilize a revenue-sharing model, dividing media rights, bowl payouts and other profits among all conference institutions. While academics have always played an integral role in the conference, presidents of the Big Ten member institutions formalized the primacy of academics with the establishment of the Big Ten Academic Alliance (formerly the Committee on Institutional Cooperation) in 1958. The Big Ten Academic Alliance is an academic consortium of all Big Ten universities. In 2014, the schools currently constituting the Big Ten Academic Alliance produced over $10 billion in funded research, $5 billion more than any other conference. In one of Duke’s first actions as commissioner, he oversaw the adoption of the Big Ten Advisory Commission in 1972, designed to study conference
programs and make suggestions that would further Big Ten objectives. The Advisory Commission enlists former students that competed in Big Ten athletics to serve as liaisons to the NCAA’s Diversity and Inclusion Department, the Big Ten Student-Athlete Advisory Commission and other organizations. In 1981, the conference presidents and chancellors endorsed a proposal that enabled universities to affiliate their women’s intercollegiate programs with the conference, and the first conference championships for women were staged that fall. The Big Ten was the first conference to voluntarily adopt male and female participation goals after launching its Gender Equity Action Plan in 1992. In December of 1989, the conference agreed in principle to invite Penn State for membership. On June 4, 1990, the Council of Presidents officially voted to integrate Penn State into the conference, giving the Big Ten 11 members. On June 11, 2010, the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors (COP/C) approved a formal membership application by Nebraska, which officially joined the Big Ten Conference on July 1, 2011. The conference expanded to 14 programs when Maryland and Rutgers officially became Big Ten members on July 1, 2014, giving the conference almost 9,500 students participating in intercollegiate athletics and more than 11,000 participation opportunities on 350 teams. On June 3, 2013, the Big Ten announced that Johns Hopkins had been accepted as the conference’s first sport affiliate member. Johns Hopkins’ addition in men’s lacrosse gave the Big Ten six institutions sponsoring the sport, allowing the debut of men’s lacrosse as an official conference sport. On June 17, 2015, the conference announced that Johns Hopkins was accepted as a sport affiliate member for women’s lacrosse beginning in 2016-17. On March 23, 2016, the conference announced that Notre Dame will join the Big Ten for men’s ice hockey beginning in 2017-18. Since opening in the fall of 2013, the Big Ten Conference Center in Rosemont, Ill., has played host to more than 300 meetings annually for member institutions, Big Ten Academic Alliance-related committees and coaching groups. The headquarters also feature an interactive digital museum - the Big Ten Experience - which opened to the public on June 7, 2014. For more information on the Big Ten Experience, visit bigten.org. In June 2014, the Big Ten opened a second office in New York City, featuring both office and meeting space in Midtown Manhattan. Three Big Ten staff members are based in the New York City office to provide expanded coverage and service. The conference manages 28 championships and tournaments, offers legislative and compliance services, oversees the production and distribution of nearly 1,400 events annually, provides staff services to coaching and administrative personnel and services media and fans interest for information on the Big Ten Conference. More than 120 years after its inception, the Big Ten remains a national leader in intercollegiate athletics on and off the field. Big Ten programs have combined to win more than 450 team and 1,800 individual national championships, consistently taking home individual honors for athletic and academic accomplishments and fulfilling the Big Ten’s mission of academic achievement and athletic success.

HUSKERS FIND INDIVIDUAL IMPROVEMENT
Toby Boyer led Nebraska with a 26-14 singles record (12-9 in spring) while playing almost exclusively out of the No. 1 spot in 2017-18. The Nebraska men’s tennis team concluded its 2017-18 season with an 11-15 overall record, including a 1-10 mark in Big Ten competition. In Coach Kerry McDermott’s 37th year at NU, the Huskers produced individual achievements on and off the court. Toby Boyer led the Huskers with the best season of his career and one of the most individually successful campaigns in Nebraska history. In the fall, Boyer was a runner-up in the ITA Central Regional Singles final, becoming only the second Husker to reach the event finals since Karl Falkland won the tournament in 1993. After the Regional tournament, Boyer represented Nebraska in the ITA National Fall Championships, which placed him among the 64 best players in the nation. Overall, he posted a 26-14 record, including a 12-9 (3-8 Big Ten) mark in the spring while playing almost exclusively out of the No. 1 spot. Boyer’s 26 singles victories ranked fourth on Nebraska’s list. He surpassed his older brother Dusty, who posted 25 wins in 2014 en route to first-team All-Big Ten honors. Toby also climbed into a tie for ninth on Nebraska’s career wins list. Boyer’s spring campaign included a seasonopening nine-match winning streak. He did not take his first loss until a March 14 defeat against No. 40 Iowa. In doubles play, Boyer teamed up with senior Linus Erhart in Nebraska’s No. 1 pair for most of the season. After spending two years in his native Austria, Erhart returned to Nebraska in emphatic fashion. He posted a team-leading 18-7 mark in spring play, mostly at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions. Erhart went 5-6 in the Big Ten, also a team-best record.
He had competed for the Huskers as a freshman in 2014-15, but returned to his homeland to complete his bachelor’s degree in international business management. Erhart returned to NU to pursue a master’s degree in business administration while making a successful return to NCAA tennis. He became just the second first-team Academic All-America in Nebraska tennis history in 2017-18. Alongside Erhart and Boyer, sophomore Chris Dean was the third Husker to reach doubledigit wins overall. Dean notched a 13-9 record, including a 3-4 mark in the Big Ten, which was the team’s second-best record. Dean showed great improvement from his first year with the Huskers, when he won only three matches. Playing primarily out of the No. 6 spot in 2017-18, Dean went 13-7 in the spring. The sophomore started the season by winning six straight matches, including three at No. 5 and one at No. 4. As a sophomore, Micah Klousia had his personal-best season in wins (11) at Nebraska. The Springfield, Mo., native played most of his matches out of the No. 4 position, and concluded his singles campaign at 11-17 (1-10 Big Ten). Klousia’s most remarkable victory of the season came at Michigan State on April 21. Playing against Spartan senior Jasper Koenen at the No. 4 spot, Klousia lost the first set 6-7, but rallied back to win the second 7-6. In the middle of the third set, all other singles matches had finished and the team score was tied at 3-3. With the match riding on Klousia, he captured the set, 6-3, to give the Big Red a Big Ten win in East Lansing. The freshman duo of William Grattan-Smith
and Isaac Nortey produced an impressive start to their careers at Nebraska. Grattan-Smith, an Atlanta, Ga., native, finished the 2017-18 season with a 10-14 overall singles record, along with a 1-9 mark in Big Ten competition. Playing most of his matches from the No. 5 and No. 6 spots, Grattan-Smith started the year with a six-match win streak before concluding his spring play at 8-12. Grattan-Smith’s best match of the season came on March 25, when the Huskers faced off against No. 35 Minnesota. The freshman was the only player to win a match that afternoon, beating Gopher opponent Vlad Lobak in three sets (6-4, 1-6, 10-7) at the No. 5 position. Nortey, on the other hand, posted an 1110 singles record, playing primarily out of the No. 5 position. The native of Ghana is one of three returning Huskers to conclude the 2018 campaign with a winning record. Nortey joins Boyer (26-14) and Dean (13-9) in that group. Nortey went 1-5 in Big Ten singles competition. Boyer and Erhart commanded the Huskers’ doubles at the No. 1 spot with an 11-8 record in the spring, including a 3-3 mark in Big Ten play. Dylan Bednarczyk and Klousia competed mostly out of the No. 2 position and went 5-0 in nonconference matches. Grattan-Smith and Nortey had a winning record primarily out of the No. 3 spot, going 6-5 in the spring campaign. Off the court, the Huskers had tremendous success, as five out of seven eligible players earned academic All-Big Ten awards: Dylan Bednarczyk, Linus Erhart, Micah Klousia, Rok Krizaj and Jon Meyer.
