being a Zag. If we can help and support the students, faculty, administration and the coaches through our support, it completes the circle.” Speaking of circles, part of the reason Morris wanted to help with the press box project is because of his lifelong relationship with Gonzaga’s baseball coach, Mark Machtolf. Morris actually coached an 11-yearold Machtolf during his little league days. Even then, Morris recognized the athleticism and toughness, both mentally and physically, possessed by Machtolf. The press box addition will be named after Dick Schomburg, the public address voice of men’s basketball from 1981-91 who passed away in 2011. Schomburg helped Morris coach Machtolf’s little league team. “We wanted to honor him and his family,” Morris said. “He always thought the world of Mark, so it was the perfect chance to help the program and to thank Mark for everything he has done for Gonzaga.” That is the case because so many Zags, like Morris and his wife, believe in giving of their time, talent and treasure to serve others. Morris only hopes even more will be inspired to do the same. “Liz and I would just ask people to evaluate the things that had the most impact in their life,” he said. “I am convinced alumni would say their Gonzaga education and experience was integral to their formation into adulthood. We would ask they do what they can to ensure that continues for future generations of Zags. It takes all of our generosity to make sure it continues.”

Finally, this year Gonzaga has prepared to celebrate the Opus Prize in fall 2014. The Opus Prize Foundation annually gives a million-dollar award to a faith-based humanitarian who is working to solve a pivotal social issue anywhere in the world. Gonzaga has collaborated with the Opus Foundation this year, gathering nominations and selecting and vetting finalists. Gonzaga students, faculty and staff traveled in March and May to far-flung locations, spending time with each of three Opus finalists to gauge the efficacy of their organization and impact of their work. Such experiences become lifechanging events and comprise a level of lived education that Gonzaga aspires to for all its students. Gonzaga’s priorities remain unchanged in this, our 127th year. We are committed to our students, to academic excellence and the integrative Jesuit educational experience. We are impassioned in our commitment to ensure a sense of shared mission and to work for the future institutional stability of the University.

Men’s basketball
APR 979
10th among ! AP Top 25 teams
While Gonzaga University’s men’s and women’s basketball teams have made a name for themselves in the collegiate basketball world, both programs stack up well when examining other factors. Academic Progress Rate (APR) is a barometer of how teams fare academically, with an APR of 930 or greater needed during the most recent 4-year reporting period of 2009-10 through 2012-13. Schools with less than a 930 APR can face a number of program-specific penalties. A look at the final 2014 Associated Press Top 25 shows both programs did well nationally in the APR. The Bulldog men, which received votes in the final AP rankings, had an APR of 979 which would put the Bulldogs 10th among AP Top 25 teams. The University of Florida, University of Louisville and the University of Kansas each had an APR of 1000 to tie for the top spot. The Bulldog women, ranked 18th in the final AP balloting, had an APR of 991 which placed the Zags tied for third among AP Top 25 with the University of Nebraska and West Virginia University. DePaul University and Stanford University are atop the women’s Top 25 with perfect APR scores of 1000. A look at the 68 teams in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament shows the Bulldogs ranked 23rd among the 68 with their 979 APR. Six teams—Florida, Louisville, Kansas, Stanford, Memphis University and the University of Texas tied for the top spot with an APR of 1000.

Gonzaga University garnered numerous media exposure opportunities in 2013-14, with men’s and women’s basketball and baseball generating the bulk of the exposure through print, website, radio and television. Men’s basketball had every regular-season and post-season game televised in 2013-14, with 20 of their 37 games broadcast on the ESPN family of stations highlighted by their appearance on ESPN College Game Day. The Bulldogs now have a streak of 357 consecutive regular-season and postseason games being televised, a span that dates back to the 2003-04 season. Women’s basketball was featured through 16 television appearances locally, regionally and nationally. The Zags were shown coast-to-coast on the ESPN family of networks, the Big 10 network, the Pac-12 Networks, BYUtv, and TheW.tv.

Donors range from parents and friends to athletic alumni and those who simply care about the individual sport. These donations help to enhance budgets, to enhance the program in ways that are not budgeted, pay for extra equipment, extra team travel and year-end banquets. Through the fundraising efforts of our coaches and student-athletes, this year we saw a 46% increase in donations specifically designated to sports agency accounts.

Our desire for growth and excellence will always fuel our drive, but market forces and imminent NCAA legislation will require us to generate even more resources than ever just to deliver a level of service to our student-athletes that will become the new baseline standard. One such example of this is evident in pending legislation driven by the major football conferences that will lift limitations on what is permissible to provide to student-athletes in the realm of nutrition and academic support. Beginning August 1, 2014, a new NCAA rule will allow institutions to provide meals and snacks to student-athletes as a benefit incidental to their participation in intercollegiate athletics. The intent of the new rule is to provide institutions the flexibility to help meet the unique nutritional needs of student-athletes without the administrative burden of the previous NCAA legislation. In layman’s terms, schools will be able to

Capital Priorities & Future Positioning
Gonzaga Athletics. As the creator of a fully-endowed scholarship, you can establish your legacy as a Champion and demonstrate that same commitment to your chosen sport forever. To fully endow a scholarship requires a gift that can be invested and provide annual yield, typically at 4.5%, that equates to the cost of a full grant-in-aid, currently valued at approximately $48,000 per year. In this way, we ensure that your principal gift will remain in place in perpetuity, providing opportunities for student-athletes, and budgetary relief that will shape the future of Gonzaga Athletics. Fully endowed scholarships create a legacy that protects each program’s ability to compete in perpetuity, and are among the highest fundraising priorities for our program.
Luger Field A modern soccer complex is a key component to the overall experience of intercollegiate soccer. Gonzaga University competes in the West Coast Conference, which is one of the premiere soccer leagues in the country. A modern, state of the art soccer stadium will enable us to compete in the West Coast Conference and nationally at the highest level. This summer, Luger Field will be officially dedicated, paying homage to the John Luger family, who provided a major impetus for the construction of the soccer complex. In order to complete the circle and fulfill our potential,

Gonzaga Athletics is urgently seeking additional support to complete the infrastructure with lights, a grandstand, locker rooms, concessions and restrooms. Completing this infrastructure will immediately elevate our soccer programs in stature regionally and nationally, and will provide the springboard for unprecedented success, including putting Gonzaga in the position to bid to host postseason NCAA tournament games.

Passion for success Success must not be defined simply by winning or losing games, matches, races, or contests. Instead, we believe there are many components that must coexist for success to truly be achieved. Strong academics, social consciousness, accountability, leadership, commitment to community, and diversified greatness for all eighteen (18) of our sports comprise the foundation. It is the courage to take risks, to refuse to see limitations, and to sustainably prevail across all programs that define our success. It is the contribution of many individuals to create a deep and varied culture combined for a common goal—a broad-based, nationally-renowned athletic program.
