January 2014 Dear Blue Raider Fans: I want to give a special thank you to every member of the Blue Raider Athletic Association. Your support and financial commitment guided the BRAA to another record year in 2013-2014. This is our ninth publication of the Blue Raider Athletic Association Business Directory. Participation continues to grow and many new BRAA member companies continue to be added each year. Thank you for such a great response. I encourage our fans, supporters, students, and alumni to do business with the companies listed in our business directory. Our philosophy is to support businesses that support Blue Raider Athletics by making annual contributions to the Blue Raider Athletic Association. Each of the organizations and individuals in our directory is an integral part of Blue Raider Athletics by helping to provide financial support for the young men and women who participate in our athletic program. Please share with these companies that you are doing business with them because of their support of Middle Tennessee Athletics. If you would like to be a part of this directory, a minimum donation of $750.00 to the BRAA is required. You can contact the BRAA office at 615-898-2210 or go online at www.goblueraiders.com and JOIN TODAY! Go Blue Raiders!

The Blue Raider Athletic Association (BRAA) is a university-affiliated support organization consisting of donors to the intercollegiate athletic programs. There are membership levels with a schedule of benefits based upon the amount contributed. The BRAA is commited to the proposition that academic achievement should be the number one priority of any student-athlete.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Our mission is to support, promote, and enhance nationally competitive intercollegiate athletic programs, which mirror the interest of the students, faculty, alumni, and friends of Middle Tennessee State University. These programs provide a sense of pride and a source of enthusiasm while instilling loyalty to the University. The spirit of the academic community is stimulated and enriched by these programs. They supply a means of communication between the University and its graduates long after they leave campus. Also they serve as rallying points for people of all ages and backgrounds that share this common interest. By providing direct financial and moral support, we strive to heighten academic growth through the success of our athletic programs. As the athletic programs gain strength and notoriety, the University benefits by attracting higher quality students. Above all, we recognize that the University’s obligation is to the state of Tennessee and to the parents who entrust their children to this University. Our duty is to provide our students with a quality education and experience. This includes academic achievement, which contributes to their social development and prepares them for meaningful lives and careers. We are committed to the idea that academic achievement should not be a gift. Rather it is a challenge that must be met by the individual students as well as the University.

Geography of Conference usa DID YOU KNOW?
DID YOU KNOW?
DID YOU KNOW?
There will be a 16-game schedule in basketball for 2013-14 with each school playing every team in the league once and a nearby opponent twice. Middle Tennessee’s home and away opponent will be UAB. The 2014 C-USA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments will take place at UTEP.
Conference USA institutions have hosted three NCAA Final Fours since 2011.
Of the top 65 media markets in the country, 12 are home to a 2013-14 C-USA member institution.
“Our new members bring added competitive strength, especially in the areas of football and basketball, and we have dramatically increased the size of our television footprint.” - Britton Banowsky, C-USA Commissioner
C-USA Television Television is a crucial component in the college athletics equation. Live broadcasts serve as a resource for alumni, a recruiting tool for coaching staffs, and as an important University marketing vehicle. DID YOU KNOW? Conference USA was formed in 1995 by the merger of the Metro Conference and the Great Midwest Conference.
Conference USA is the only conference in the country to have broadcast agreements with FOX Sports, CBS Sports Network and ESPN.
The league began a major multi-year agreement with Fox Sports Media Group in 2011. FOX Sports Networks (FSN) will showcase a minimum of 20 regular-season football games per season, a minimum of 10 regular-season men’s basketball games, five women’s basketball games, and a variety of Olympic sports events.
The 2012 football schedule featured more than 85 games aired nationally or regionally (compared to only 18 for the Sun Belt), putting it on pace for the highest number in league history. National games were televised on Fox Sports Net, FX, CBS Sports Network, ABC and ESPN. ESPN will televise the C-USA football championship game through 2015. The Conference USA men’s basketball championship game is broadcast on CBS, while more than 40 regular season games appear on the CBS Sports Network, FSN and the ESPN family of networks.
DID YOU KNOW? The new Fox Sports 1 network will be available in more than 91 million homes. FSN programming is distributed to more than 85 million homes through more than 24 owned and affiliated regional sports networks.
