One of America’s Best Public Regional Universities

F

ounded in 1886, Winthrop’s picturesque campus is ideally located in the beautiful upstate section of South Carolina in the growing city of Rock Hill and only 30 minutes from Charlotte, North Carolina. Winthrop’s 100-acre main campus and its 300-acre athletic complex is home to a student body that numbers nearly 6,600.

Winthrop is large enough to offer a wide range of academic and extracurricular opportunities found at larger universities while at the same time small enough to encourage personal interaction with professors and staff.

Steeped in tradition, Winthrop is a public

institution with regional prominence. At Winthrop, students excel in an academic environment that is second to none among South Carolina’s senior colleges and teaching universities. Unique academic course offerings and modern, wellequipped facilities guarantee a national-caliber education. With all that Winthrop has to offer, it should be no surprise that U.S. News & World Report has ranked Winthrop as a top ten Southern regional public university for 19 consecutive issues while Consumer Digest ranks Winthrop as one of the top 50 Best Values in Colleges and Universities.

Winthrop President Anthony DiGiorgio and First Lady Gale

Dr. DiGiorgio began his presidency by articulating a “Vision of Distinction” for Winthrop, then leading the university community in designing a series of annual work plans that advance the goals encompassed by the vision. Each new year’s work plan builds on the foundation of the previous year’s achievements. DiGiorgio likens it to a family’s achievements, with each new generation building on the foundation of its elders — an observation drawn from his own youth.

The son of an immigrant bricklayer, Dr. DiGiorgio was born in Sharon, Pa. Like many immigrants to America, the DiGiorgios found that hard work and persistence were the keys to survival – key elements that characterize the DiGiorgio leadership style today.

After receiving his undergraduate degree at Gannon College, Dr. DiGiorgio earned his master’s and doctoral degrees from Purdue University, where he later became an instructor and Assistant to the Dean of Humanities, Social Science and Education. In 1970, he began 19 years of service at The College of New Jersey, where he served in a number of positions, including Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Dr. DiGiorgio has served two terms on the board of directors of the NCAA Board and its executive committee, as well as two terms as president of the Big South Conference, He currently chairs the Membership Committee. In addition, he has served on the board of directors of the Charlotte branch of the Federal Reserve Bank, Richmond District, and in 2009-2010 began a second term on the board of the Charlotte Regional Partnership, a regional economic development organization serving 2.5 million people in both Carolinas.

O

ver v er the t past 13 years the Winthrop men’s basketball program has been synonymous nonymo with winning championships and claiming victories over some of the nation’s elite schools.

Over that period, the Eagles have won nine Big South Conference championships, captured the Marquette Pepsi Blue and Gold Classic, the oldest continuing tournament in the country, and made nine NCAA tournament appearances, highlighted by the 2007 first-round victory over Notre Dame.

No other Big South Conference school and few programs across the country can boast of the same success that Winthrop basketball has enjoyed since 1999.

Every player who has graduated since 1999 has won at least two league titles and played in as many NCAA tournaments. Five players can lay claim to four championship rings during their careers.

Winthrop Returns Four Senior Starters For 2011-12 Season

Winthrop head coach Randy Peele welcomes back a group of four seniors who have started a combined 224 games during their careers and have played in one NCAA tournament. They would like nothing more than to close out their careers with another trip to the Big Dance in March.

Peele also has brought in a freshman class of four scholarship players and two walk-ons to give the Eagles a strong blend of veterans and newcomers.

While the experience of four seniors should provide the Eagles with some good leadership, Winthrop heads into the season without its leading scorer and leading rebounder from last season. Robbie Dreher, who averaged 12.7 points, transferred to Marshall, and Charles Corbin, who pulled down 8.4 rebounds, graduated last May. That is a concern for Peele as he enters his fifth year at the helm of Eagles.

One thing is for sure for this Winthrop team, it will not stray from the principles that has led the program to a record nine Big South Conference championships and nine trips to the NCAA tournament over the past 13 years.

“We have always prided ourselves in defending and rebounding,” said Peele.

“That will not change with this group.

We may make some subtle changes both offensively and defensively to take advantage of our personnel, but our ability to defend and rebound the ball will always be our staple.”

With four seniors leading the way, the Eagles’ head coach says that the team chemistry is “really good” with the arrival of preseason practice just a few days away. “We have a deep roster and there will be competition by position,” he says. “That is something that I really like to have and with 16 players on the roster we will have competition at all five positions.”

Winthrop is coming off a 13-17 season and a fifth place conference finish with a 9-9 league record. Those

Senior point guard Reggie Middleton is Winthrop’s leading returning scorer numbers are not acceptable to anyone connected to the program. Peele and his staff are determined that the Eagles will climb back to the top of league and lay claim once again to the championship.

One statistic that jumps out from last year is the fact that Winthrop lost 11 games by five or fewer points and shot 55 percent or below from the free throw line in those losses.

Peele sums up last year in four

words. “We just didn’t finish,” he says. “To get where we want to go, we just can’t talk about it. We’ve got to do a better job coaching and our players are going to have to make crucial free throws and defensive stops. We didn’t do that a year ago. We have to get better in how we approach late game situations.

Winthrop’s coach believes the conference will be more balanced this year.

“We’ve got to be concerned with the

2011-12 Winthrop Basketball

process. What it comes down to is which teams experience the most growth and who is playing their best basketball in the last two weeks of the season,” said Peele.

The Big South Conference is known pretty much as a guard-oriented league.

This year’s Eagles are well-stocked at both the point guard and second guard positions. They also have a good mix at the forward and post positions as well.

have a very good senior year.”

“Matt’s greatest strength is catching and shooting the mid-range jumper. He is really good from 15-18 feet, but he’s got to get better in two areas--rebounding and finishing plays with contact around the rim,” continued Peele.

In regard to Valentine, Peele believes he will have his best year. “In George’s junior year, he was in the top five in the league in both offensive and defensive rebounds. He is a dominate rebounder Middleton And Jones Lead Eagles and he needs to continue being a reHeading the list of returning players is bounder and defender when he’s not getsenior point guard Reggie Middleton (6-1, ting touches,” the coach said. “I believe 196, North Augusta, GA), senior guard he will be better offensively because he Andre Jones (6-2, 197, Suffolk, VA), worked hard this summer on his midsenior power forward Matt Morgan (6-9, range shot.”

In addition, Reggie has the ability to be a great defender.”

The sophomore class is led by Jerome who gained valuable experience as a freshman. “Defensively, Joab has the potential to be in the same category as Mantoris Robinson. He’s not there yet, but he saw things from a defensive perspective as a freshman that was surprising and was a testimonial to his basketball IQ,” said Peele. “He’s got an understanding of how to play.”

Scott Comes Back Much Improved Two other returning sophomores are 6-9, 215 forward Derrick Scott (Palm Coast, FL), who played his last two years of high school for Dorman H.S. iin Spartanburg, SC, and 6-5 walk-on post player Donovan Carter (Ladson, SC).

“I don’t know anyone who has outworked Derrick Scott over the summer.

He has put on 20 pounds and he is highly skilled,” says Peele. “He can do things in skill development that 6-9 kids can’t normally do. The thing now is can Derrick carry over what he has done in skill development to live competition where he’s going five on five.

Peele calls Carter the “best walk-on that I have had here at Winthrop.” The Winthrop coach says Carter is a very physical player. “When I say that he’s physical, that is not an overstatement.

He can really lay the lumber on people.”

Peele says he has been impressed

by Diop’s work ethic. “His work ethic is outstanding he’s very coachable.

He wants to be good. Going into the preseason, I believe he’s further along than where Julius (Francis) would have been.” Francis was a 6-11 sophomore who transferred to a junior college over the summer. “What we need from Shola is to be able to defend big men and to rebound. Offensively, I’ve been impressed by his ability to step out and shoot the ball from 16 and 17 feet. I look for Shola to factor into the mix around the post.”

Peele said Smith has range out to 25 feet and he can also drive the ball hard to the bucket.

“When we were recruiting Dre, I was looking for a point guard that can stretch the defense and he certainly can with his tremendous shooting range,” said Peele.

The Eagles also added 6-3 shooting guard Derrick Henry (Covington, GA), a two-time Georgia All-State performer who scored just over 2,000 career points.

“Derrick is a scorer. He is wired to score. He looks to score and just finds a way to put the ball in the basket.

2011-12 Winthrop Basketball

Has Led Eagles To Two NCAA Trips In Last Four Years Randy Peele is a blue collar coach who rolls up his sleeves and goes to work everyday with a single purpose--develop winning teams.

He has proven to everyone, friends and foes alike, that he can coach and win championships.

As he enters his fifth year at the Winthrop helm, he has directed two teams (2008 and 2010) to Big South Conference titles and automatic bids to the NCAA tournament. Including his stint at UNC Greensboro, he has taken Big South schools to three NCAA tournaments, the most among current coaches in the league.

Randy Peele was more than up to the challenge of taking over Winthrop’s successful basketball program in April, 2007. He answered the call by leading the

Aiming To Finish Strong

Eagles to their fourth straight Big South Conference title in 2008.

After a down year in 2009, he answered his critics by leading the Eagles to the school’s ninth league championship in 2010.

Winthrop has made a conferencehigh nine trips to the NCAA tournament in the past 13 years.

Peele,who served as an assistant coach for four years (20042007), led Winthrop to a 22-12 record in his first year in the boss’ chair and earned signature victories over Georgia Tech and Miami, a team that was undefeated and ranked 19th in the nation at the time. His 2009-10 squad rallied from a slow to start to win 14 of its last 17 games en route to winning the title again and finished 19-14.

Winthrop provided Peele with his second head coaching stint head coach at a Big South Conference school. He served at former league member UNC Greensboro for four seasons and led the

Spartans to the 1996 Big South championship and that school’s first trip to the NCAA tournament.

As a key member of the coaching staff that directed Winthrop to three straight league titles and the first NCAA tournament victory in 2007 over Notre Dame, the 52-year-old Peele is now in charge of the most successful men’s basketball program in Big South history.

Peele grew up on the playgrounds of Norfolk, Virginia where he learned the meaning of competition. “I love to compete,” he says. “That’s what college basketball is all about and that is what drives me every day I go to work. If there is one thing that describes me it is the love of competition.”

“When the human spirit is on fire, it is a great weapon. That is what I tell our kids when they report to campus each fall and that is what I bring to the job everyday.”

Winthrop head coach answers media questions

2011-12 Winthrop Basketball

Those who know him best and who have been around him throughout his playing and coaching days can testify how driven he is when it comes to his love for the game.

“When the human spirit is on fire, it is a great weapon.”

Peele first arrived at Winthrop from Virginia Tech where he served as an assistant coach from 1999 to 2002 and helped recruit what was considered a Top 30 recruiting class for the Hokies. He also served as an assistant at UNCG

Aiming To Finish Strong

(1991-95) before taking over the head coaching reigns and served stints as an assistant coach at St. Michael’s College in Vermont (1983-85), Tennessee-Martin (1985-88), and Campbell (19881991).

He served as head coach at UNCG from 1995 until 1999. His four-year head coaching record at UNCG was 46-67.

According to Peele, there are three things a young man needs to do to play at Winthrop.

“Number one is they need basketball IQ and they need to be coachable. The second thing is they need to be mentally tough, and thirdly they have to be competitive,” he says.

“The key in the coaching business is getting people around you that have the intangibles that you mirror. I want to find players that mirror the way that I played the game.”

Peele says there is a formula for success that a program needs in order for achieve the heights that Winthrop has reached.

“First, you’ve gotta know who you are and what you stand for in order to be a top tier program.

You can’t be everything to everybody. Your team can’t be great at every aspect of the game. You just can’t.

“So what you’ve got to know is what is the foundation of Winthrop basketball. To me the foundation is that we play hard night in and night out and we have been a program that can beat teams with our defense alone.”

Peele says the key principles of his program are to be tenacious, tough, and have a defensive oriented team, and have a team that executes on the offensive end and

is unselfish.

“That sounds like old-school basketball,” he says, “But that is what we are all about. You can’t win a championship unless you have a great halfcourt offensive team and a great halfcourt defensive team. “ Expect this year’s Eagles squad to embrace those principles under Peele, and to be in the hunt for another conference championship.

Winthrop Basketball History Eagle Men’s Program Soars Upward To National Stage It took 92 years for men’s intercollegiate basketball to come to Winthrop, but it turned out to be well worth the wait.

Winthrop, founded in 1886 by David Bancroft Johnson, entered the world of intercollegiate men’s basketball on November 14, 1978, when the Eagles defeated Wingate, 92-81.

The first Winthrop men’s basketball team had respect long before it ever played the first game. Nield Gordon, a highly successful coach at Newberry College, was hired as the first coach.

Gordon would bring with him several key players from his Newberry squad, giving the Eagles instant respect. Street and Smith’s preseason basketball magazine picked Winthrop to be the seventh best team in the nation among NAIA schools.

Not only were the Eagles making history as the school’s first men’s basketball team, they were also going to be instant contenders in the NAIA District 6. Their only major obstacle was they had no place to play. The Eagles would play all their home games in 1978 through 1981 at the Sullivan Jr. High School gym.

The Creamer Twins Lead Eagles The 1978-79 team was led by 6-10 twins Donnie and Ronnie Creamer.

Ronnie led the Eagles in scoring and rebounding with 17.4 points and 9 rebounds per contest. Donnie averaged 14 points and 8 rebounds a game.

Winthrop finished its inaugural regular season with an impressive 23-9 record and became the first school ever to qualify for the NAIA District 6 playoffs in their first year of action.

Nonetheless, Winthrop basketball was here to stay. After the impressive 25-10 first year, the Eagles went 17-13 in 1979-80. The Creamers graduated in 1980 but a new star was already on the horizon. Gardner-Webb transfer Charlie Brunson played his first game as a Winthrop Eagle on January 10, 1980.

The 6-8 sophomore scored 17 points in a win over Erskine, the beginning of what would be a stellar career. Brunson averaged 20.1 points and 10 rebounds a game in his three-year career and led the Eagles to their finest season ever in 1981. Winthrop became the first team in all of college basketball to win 20 games in 1981 and was only the third college

team in South Carolina to ever win 30 games in a season. Winthrop finished its banner season with a 31-8 record.

The Eagles completed their fourth year of basketball in 1981-82 with their fourth winning season. Gordon’s first four teams had compiled an impressive 104-43 record. They set the standard for future Winthrop players.

Winthrop Coliseum Opens On November 17th the Eagles lost their opening home game to Lander, 61-60. The outcome was not as significant as the fact that the game was not played at Sullivan Jr. High School.

Instead, it was played at Winthrop’s beautiful, new coliseum. The 6,100 seat arena cost 10.7 million dollars to construct and was a visible sign that Winthrop was looking to grow.

Winthrop responded with its fourth 20-win season in 1984. The Eagles moved into NCAA Division II in 1985 and announced Winthrop would move into NCAA Division I in 1986 as a member of the newly formed Big South Conference. The 1985-86 season marked the end of Nield Gordon’s eight-year tenure as coach. The Eagles sent Gordon off in style, winning 20 games for the fifth time in his I.

2011-12 Winthrop Basketball eight-year career. Fred McKinnon, a 6-6 senior from Crystal River, FL, averaged 21 points a game and was named the first Big South Player of the Year.

Winthrop moved into Division I play in 1986-87 under first-year head coach Steve Vacendak. The former Duke University star was left with a squad that returned only one starter from the previous year. The Eagles would win but eight games in Vacendak’s first year, but an impressive 66-52 win over East Carolina proved Winthrop could compete in Division I.

Steve Vacendak took over the reigns in 1986 and coached the Eagles for six years until 1992 The 1987-88 season proved to be the most exciting in Winthrop’s short-lived history. Despite all of Gordon’s teams successes, not once had Winthrop won a league or district title. The 1988 Big South Tournament was brought to Rock Hill and the Winthrop Coliseum. Rock Hill supported the tournament beyond expectations as crowds doubled in size from the previous two years when the tournament had been played in Savannah, GA. The town of Rock Hill became more excited when their Eagles, who had finished the season 14-13, smashed top seeded Coastal Carolina in the semifinals, 75-40. The following night Winthrop defeated Radford, 71-56 to claim the Big South crown. Six-foot sophomore guard Shaun Wise of Columbia, SC, was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player.

The 1990 Eagles won 19 games and reached the Big South Tournament semifinals for the fourth time in the five year history of the league. Winthrop struggled in 1991 and 1992, having back to back losing seasons for the first time in the program’s history. Steve Vacendak retired as head coach following the 1992

Aiming To Finish Strong as athletic director. Vacendak’s teams won 74 games on the Division I level, including the thrilling 1988 Big South title.

Dan Kenney was named Winthrop’s third head men’s basketball coach in March of 1992. The highly successful coach at Pembroke State University sought to change the fortunes of Winthrop basketball and bring the Eagle program back to the successful levels of the past.

1992-93 Eagles Had New Look The slogan for the 1992-93 Eagles was “Give us a New Look,” and fans that did were quite entertained. The new look Eagles exhibited an up-tempo, run and shoot style, averaging 83 points a game.

The Winthrop bombers led by sophomores LaShawn Coulter and Mike Fayed and junior Jamie McVay led an awesome three point attack, including a school record 16 Community Long Distance threes versus Liberty. Seniors Eddie Gay and Mark Hailey proved to be the class of the Big South post players, combining for 33 points and 18 rebounds a game.

The dynamic duo was selected to the AllBig South Conference second team. The Eagles continued to improve throughout the season and reached their peek during a memorable first week in March.

The Eagles traveled to Charleston and the beautiful new North Charleston Coliseum for the Big South Tournament.

season to devote more time to his duties State, 83-79, to advance to the semifinals against Radford. The Highlanders, who beat the Eagles twice during the season, were no match on this night as Hailey dumped in 32 points and snared 16 rebounds. The victory lifted Winthrop into the title game and an opportunity to showcase their skills on national television.

Before a ESPN TV audience, the Eagles fought rival Coastal Carolina for the Big South title and an opportunity to meet Michigan in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The three previous games had sapped too much of the energy out of the Eagles and they lost, 78-65, but the statement had been made. Winthrop basketball was back.

The turning point in Winthrop’s basketball history came in April of 1998 when Gregg Marshall was introduced as the fourth coach in the program’s history.

However, Marshall couldn’t have achieved what he did without a group of hard-working players and a dedicated coaching staff.

With holdovers Heson Groves, Roger Toxey, Robbie Waldrop and Juontonio Pinckney on hand to greet their new coach and former Eagle Tyson Waterman eager to return to the Winthrop program, the ingredients were there for Marshall to mix his winning formula.

He added recruits Adrian Stockman and Jacques Vandescure in May and then along with assistant coach Jeff Meyer, enticed 6-9 Nigerian Eyo Effiong to come to the United States. The puzzle pieces were intact.

Marshall’s first season in 1998-1999 began on a successful note as the Eagles won their first three games and five of the first seven. But it was a loss and not a win that proved to be impetus for Winthrop’s championship season.

That loss came to the University of Minnesota in historic Williams Arena. The Golden Gophers were heavy favorites, but Marshall’s squad lost by only nine, 68-59, and was within two baskets with a minute to play in the game.

Marshall, who had experienced “David vs. Goliath” success stories in his eight years as an assistant at the College of Charleston, had instilled that air of confidence, or swagger, if you will, that is a trait of winning teams.

Though Winthrop didn’t knock off one of the so-called giants of college basketball that first year, the time would come in year two of the Marshall regime.

The Eagles gave the powerful Maryland Terrapins a real scare on Dec. 7, 1999 when they went into Cole Fieldhouse and had the Terps on the ropes as they let a late lead slip away before losing in overtime.

Eagles Have Earned 2 NCAA Bids In Last 4 Years; 9 In The Last 13 the Eagles became the first team in Big South Conference history to march through the league schedule undefeated and finished the year with a 29-5 overall record. Along the way, the Eagles put another notch in their belt for knocking off Mississippi State and defeating Missouri State in the nationally televised ESPN Bracket Busters game.

The hard work and determination culminated with the biggest victory in school history on March 16, 2007 when Winthrop walked off the Spokane Arena floor with a 74-64 first round NCAA victory over Notre Dame. The Eagles finished the year ranked No. 22 in the national rankings, another first for the program.

fair warning they were for real. The Missouri Tigers found out the hard way that same season on Jan. 4 when the Eagles’ defense put a hurting on Mizzou in a 51-46 road victory.Winthrop had finally knocked off one of the big boys of college basketball.

The Eagles not only had earned respect, they had earned the biggest win in school history until the 66-61 victory on over the Clemson Tigers on Dec. 18, 2001 before a stunned Littlejohn Coliseum crowd.

The 2003-04 season produced still another great victory for the program as the Eagles defeated the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens by a stunning 20-point margin, 82-62.

The Eagles added two more major conference foes to the notch in their belt as they downed Big East foe Providence 60-54 and Conference USA opponent East Carolina 70-55 on the road during the 2004-05 season in which they set a new conference record for wins with 27.

The beat went on in 2005-06 as the Eagles opened the season by knocking off former NCAA champion Marquette and added another win over East Carolina. Only a last second field goal by Tennessee prevented a possible win over the Vols in the NCAA first round.

Unfinished business became the theme for the 2006-07 Eagles as they set a goal of winning and advancing in the NCAA tournament. The 2006-07 season turned out to be the most successful in Winthrop’s Div. I history as

Peele Era Begins, Marshall Era Ends The victory over Notre Dame led to other coaching opportunities for Gregg Marshall and so in early April he left Winthrop for Wichita State and Randy Peele, a four-year assistant coach under Marshall, was ushered in as the fifth coach in Winthrop’s history.

With four seniors returning from the NCAA team to go along with a talented freshman class, the Eagles set out on the 2007-08 season with a goal of returning to the Big Dance. Along the way, Winthrop continued its ability to defeat well-known programs from the power conferences.

Only three games into the season, Georgia Tech became an Eagle victim as Winthrop knocked off the Yellow Jackets 76-71 in the second round of the Paradise Jam. Then during the holiday season, Winthrop defeated 19th ranked and previously undefeated Miami 76-70 in the MetroPCS Orange Bowl Classic.

Winthrop tied for the regular season Big South Conference title with UNC Asheville, but defeated the Bulldogs in the tournament championship game to earn an eighth NCAA tournament automatic bid and fourth straight for the second time in school history.

After battling the No. 4 seeded Washington State Cougars to a 29-29 tie at halftime, the Eagles suffered a second half shooting slump that led to their ouster from the tournament.

Following a tough season in 2008-

Randy Peele Named Eagles’ 5th Coach

09, Winthrop bounced back in 2009-10 to capture the Big South Conference championship as it won the league tournament on Coastal Carolina’s home court against the top-seeded Chanticleers.

The Eagles finished third in the regular season with a 12-6 BSC record, but defeated Liberty in the quarterfinals to earn a semi-final meeting with Radford.

After losing twice in the regular season to Radford, the preseason league favorite, by two points both times Winthrop shut down RU’s vaunted inside power attack to win 61-46.

That victory set up a championship game showdown against Coastal, a team that Winthrop split with during the regular season. With Mantoris Robinson providing the offensive and defensive leadership, the Eagles downed Coastal 64-53, sending Winthrop to its ninth NCAA tournament appearance in 12 years and giving Randy Peele’s his third trip to the Big Dance as a college head coach, including two out of three years at the Winthrop helm.

Big South Conference

Developing Leaders Through Athletics KYLE KALLANDER Commissioner

JAMES COMPANION Assoc. Commissioner

DAWN TURNER Assoc. Commissioner

The Big South Conference has enjoyed unprecedented achievements and unparalleled success in League history over the past few years.

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 teleMARK BRYANT MARK SIMPSON NIC BOWMAN vision packages, and quality athletic competition Director of Asst. Commissioner Assistant Director of while intentionally fostering the academic, perNew Media for Public Relations Public Relations sonal, social,athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete.

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 University, 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. The League received its first automatic bid in 1990 to the NCAA Baseball Championship.

In 1989, George F. "Buddy" Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner. Under Sasser’s 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 12 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new levels. 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 almost 100 Academic All-Americans in its quarter-century of existence.

The conference is made up of 11 basketball-playing members which include Campbell, Charleston Southern, Coastal Carolina, Gardner-Webb, High Point, Liberty, UNC Asheville, Presbyterian College, Radford, VMI and Winthrop.
