Facilities

Arkansas Natatorium The University of Arkansas Natatorium is considered one of the finest aquatic facilities in the Midwest. The Natatorium was the venue for the 1993 Southeastern Conference Championships, the 1996 and 1999 NCAA Zone ‘D’ Diving Championships, and most recently the 2002 SEC and NCAA Zone ‘D’ Diving Championships. In addition, the Natatorium served as the site for the 1986 NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships as well as

Arkansas Natatorium Driving Directions:

Stay on I-244 until the split for Joplin and the Cherokee Turnpike (US 412). Take the exit for the Cherokee Turnpike. Continue on the turnpike, which becomes

Arkansas Natatorium a 1985 international meet and several USS Junior Nationals. Serving the Arkansas swimming and diving teams since 1985, the Natatorium has provided the training grounds for three Olympians and 31 AllAmericans. The Natatorium is an indoor, eightlane, 50-meter pool with a complete timing system and scoreboard. The full matrix scoreboard with graphics was added in 2007 while a record display board was added in 1997. The diving area has two one-meter

Season Outlook

he University of Arkansas swimming and diving team welcomes 11 newcomers to its 2012-13 squad after losing eight seniors and one junior from 2011-12. One of the most important and significant changes from 2011-12 to 2012-13 season is the addition of head coach Sean Schimmel to the program. Schimmel hails from the University of Maryland where he was the head coach of the men’s and women’s swimming and diving program. Head diving coach Dale Schultz and assistant swimming coach Todd Mann returned to assist Schimmel with this year’s team. Returning for the Cardinal and White, is All-American Chelsea Franklin and NCAA qualifier Nicole Menzel. Also, the Razorbacks will keep the services of Sigrun Sverrisdottir and diver Kesha Naylor. Although the Razorbacks lost some key components, they also gained some important pieces and are poised to have a breakout season. Schedule: The Razorbacks have eight regular season competitions, including three home meets scheduled in the

e ﬁ y a M Anna

Arkansas Natatorium. “Our focus is always going to be championship season,” Schimmel said. “So our focus will be the SEC and NCAA Championships from the beginning.” The Razorbacks kick off their schedule as host to North Texas, Vanderbilt, SMU and Missouri State in the Razorback Relays. This year’s sched ule will pit the Razorbacks against two top-25 finishers at the 201112 NCAA Championships. The Razorbacks will host SEC foe Georgia in their first home dual meet of the season. Georgia is fresh off a second-place finish at the NCAA Championships. “When we go into the season it’s great to start out with the No. 2 team in the country in Georgia,” Schimmel said. “Having the opportunity to be tested in October will prepare us for the fall championship Houston Cougar Invite and prepare us for the back half of the year."

2012-1

3 Team

“Coming into the second half of the year, having these competitive meets, starting with Penn State and going to South Carolina is going to give us a good idea of where we are at going into the SEC Championship,” Schimmel said. Arkansas will conclude the regular season on the road against Kansas. The Razorbacks will begin their postseason run at the SEC Championships beginning on February 19th.

After squaring off with Georgia, the team will travel to Columbia, Mo., to face Missouri, Kentucky and Southern Illinois. Missouri enters the season fresh off of an impressive 14th-place finish at NCAA’s.

Freestyle: The distance freestyle group remains one of the most talented sections of the Arkansas swim team. However, this year Schimmel has put a particular emphasis on the sprinters.

Down the stretch, the Hogs will compete against Penn State and Missouri State at home in the Arkansas Natatorium. Following that matchup, Arkansas will travel for two away meets, facing South Carolina and Florida State in a double-dual meet and then traveling to Davidson College for another dual meet the following day.

“We are doing very well in the freestyle from top to bottom, from the distance down to the sprints,” Schimmel said. The UA distance freestyle group is led by senior Chelsea Franklin who returns to Arkansas after completing her second-consecutive All-American campaign in the 1,650 freestyle. Also assisting in the distance races are Nicole Menzel, Sigrun Sverrisdottir, Allison Boyle, Lauren Jordan and Lyndsie Gibson.

Season Outlook When talking about the middle distance freestyle, UA will rely heavily on freshmen Anna Mayfield and Rachel Stoehr. As far as sprinters go, sophomore Susanna White has taken the lead. This past season White clocked the second-best 100-yard freestyle time in Razorback history (49.89) and is looking to eclipse former Razorback Carly Mercer’s 49.51 time. Assisting White in the sprint freestyle will be freshman Nina Drolc and transfers Shana Lim and Shelby Cox. “In terms of the sprint, it’s already completely different than what they’ve seen before, which I think is good,” Schimmel said. “I really try to focus the sprinters and develop them as overall athletes and what they do with their power and athleticism on land and translating that to what they do in the water.” Breaststroke: “We have an arsenal of breaststrokers, which is great because it will make things very competitive for those relay spots,” Schimmel said. “We’re really strong in both of those as well.” UA returns the top-three in the 100-and-200 breaststroke with

Nikki Daniels, Taylor Temple and Julia Banach. It’s a strong group,” Schimmel said. “All three were in the top 25 all year in the SEC and those will be the three that will lead that group.” Traditionally a freestyler, White has also proven to be a force in the 100 breaststroke clocking a top-10 time on the 2011-12 squad. Backstroke: Coach Schimmel is pleased with the talent pool in the 100 and 200 backstroke. “We are loaded in the 200 backstroke,” Schimmel said. “With Shana Lim, Julia Kucherich, Liz Braun, Anna Mayfield and Lauren Jordan, we should be extremely competitive this season.” The backstroke is one stroke the Razorbacks have added to in depth and talent from last season. Three of the four top backstroke swimmers are new to the team this season. Butterfly: Schimmel stressed that while the Razorbacks have excellent butterfly specialists they lack depth in the butterfly after losing three of their top-four butterfly swimmers. “We have some very strong flyers for both short and long distances, but we just don’t have as much depth in that,” Schimmel said.

Tera Bradham

Individual Medley: Leading the charge in the individual medleys is Kucherich and White. Last season White recorded the top four times in the 200 IM and Kucherich recorded the top two times in the 400 IM.

Dale Schultz Coming in to assist Kucherich and White will be redshirt freshman Tera Bradham and freshman Rachel Kessler. Diving: As far as diving goes UA has no shortage of talent. Arkansas returns Kesha Naylor after an impressive 2011-12 season where she recorded the top scores in UA history in the one and three meter boards. Naylor currently holds 10 of the 15 UA diving records. Also returning for the diving corps is Meghan Clark and Alyssa Tomlinson who will look to score big for the Razorbacks. Looking to make an impact will be freshmen Hannah Bortnick and Shelby Bartlett.

History and Records

Razorback Swimming & Diving

History T

he history of the Arkansas Razorbacks swimming and diving program dates back to the first team in 1972. The program was under the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW). The Razorbacks recorded their first winning season in 1983 (6-3) when they tallied wins over Oklahoma, North Texas and Missouri. The same year, Arkansas joined the NCAA and recorded a 22nd-place finish. While still under the helm of the AIAW in 1979, Diane Doucet, a highly touted diver from New Orleans, La., put together an incredible performance on the onemeter springboard at the AIAW National Championships and became the first ever swimming and diving All-

ha Karen Gor

American at the University of Arkansas. The swimming and diving program garnered its first national champion in Karen Gorham in 1981. Gorham captured the onemeter diving title at the 1981 AIAW Championships and was named the AIAW Diver of the Year. A seven-time All-American, Gorham also won the U.S. Diving title in 1980. Shortly after Gorham’s history-making performance as a Razorback, Robin Ford earned the three-meter title at the 1985 NCAA Championships and was a two-time AllAmerican. Following in Gorham and Ford’s footsteps were highly touted divers like Diane Dudeck, Becky Martin, Karen Straley and Alicia Turner, each of whom received All-America honors during their Arkansas careers. Following the 1996 season, however, Arkansas diving hit a lull until Katerina Kordioukova made Razorback diving relevant once more. Kordioukova placed ninth on the three-meter board at the 2001 NCAA Championships, missing the championship finals by .05 points. She also scored points for Arkansas in the one-meter competition with a 17th-place

finish at the National Championships. In 2003, Mandy Moran was the runner-up in the threemeter dive at the NCAA National Championship. Also in 2003, Moran set the three-meter dual school record that was broken by freshman standout Kesha Naylor in 2011. Several Razorbacks have earned multiple All-America honors in the pool. New Yorker Kris Sheedy and Dallas native Missy Allert picked up seven All-America certificates while Arkadelphia’s Nancy Duncan had five. Sheedy and Duncan swam on the powerful relay teams of the late 1980s, while Allert was a strong freestyle specialist. Katie Kastes joined

History and Records this elite group as a freshman in 2008, earning two All-America honors and adding two more certificates in 2009. Olympians have been no strangers to the Razorbacks roster throughout the years. Canadian Cheryl McArton became the first Razorback to reach the Olympics when she swam for her native countr y in the 1984 summer games. She held six Arkansas records when she finished her career. Coming to Arkansas in 1998, Natalia Kodajova competed at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta in the 100 and 200 breaststroke events for Slovakia. Kodajova earned the Arkansas outstanding swimmer award two times. In 2001, she represented Slovakia in the World University Games for the second time in Beijing, China. In 1999, she finished 11th in the 100 breaststroke. Razorback Zsuzsa Csobanki represented Hungary in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, and is a four-time Hungarian National Champion in the 50 free. Most recently, current Razorback Sigrun Sverrisdottir represented Iceland and Yi-Ting Siow represented Malaysia in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. At the

games, Siow finished 19th in the 200 breast with a Malaysian record time of 2:27.80. She joined the Hogs in 2008 and has three Olympic appearances under her belt. At the 2009 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships, the Razorbacks garnered five All-America honors split between four swimmers. Sophomore Katie Kastes received two nods in 2009 (200 fly, 400 IM) to go along with her two All-America certificates from 2008 (200 fly, 500 free). Jamie Marks (1,650 free), Leah Pierce (200 breast) and Yi-Ting Siow (200 breast) also earned All-America status, giving Arkansas its highest number of All-American honorees in a single season. The 2010-11 team took Arkansas swimming and diving to a new level, earning a program-best No. 17 ranking during the season and breaking seven school records. The 2008-09 season saw a program-high 10 dual meet wins and a fifth place finish in the Southeastern Conference, the best SEC finish in Razorback history. In 2010, Siow became the first Razorback swimmer to win back-to-back SEC Championships with her dominance in the 200 breaststroke. Siowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excellence in the 200 breast also made her the first swimmer at Arkansas to ever finish as high as fourth in any NCAA championship event.

40 Years in the Making... The year 2012 marks the 40th anniversary of the women's swimming and diving program at the University of Arkansas. It was in 1972 when a swimming and diving team bearing the Arkansas logo jumped into the pool for the first time. Prior to the 1972 swim team, there was swimming and diving at Arkansas in the form of an intramural team. Interestingly, the first-ever women's swimming and diving meet was held on October 6, 1972. This year the Razorbacks will kick off the season 40 years to the day of the first swim meet at Arkansas. The Razorback Relays, held on Oct. 6, will serve as a commemorative meet to honor and recognize the past 40 years of women's swimming and diving.

Southeastern Conference History

Razorbacks

in the

he Southeastern Conference is home to some of the top swimming and diving schools in the country. Combined SEC schools have won a total of 11 national championships. The University of Arkansas has had many student-athletes put together standout performances at the SEC Championships. Arkansas had its first SEC individual champion in Nikola Atkinson. Atkinson placed first in the 1500-meter freestyle to win the championship. She also was the champion in the 200-meter butterďŹ&#x201A;y. Yi-Ting Siow would be the next Razorback to bring home an in-

SEC

dividual championship when she won back-to-back titles in the 200-yard breaststroke in 2009 and 2010. Aside from individual championships the Razorbacks also have a few SEC Championship records while competing in metric distances that were never matched. In 1992, Nikola Atkinson clocked a time of 16:56.02 in the 1500-meter freestyle. That year she also set the record in the 200-meter butterfly with a time of 2:16.28.

THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS

Founded in 1871, The University of Arkansas is the flagship institution of the University of Arkansas System. Located in Fayetteville in Arkansas’ northwest corner, the U of A is the state’s foremost partner and resource for education and economic development. The U of A offers 213 baccalaureate, master’s, doctoral, professional and specialist degree programs. In keeping with its status as Arkansas’ land-grant university, the U of A has a 140-year-old mandate to educate, to conduct basic and applied research, and to extend knowledge and resources to the people of Arkansas and beyond through public engagement and service. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching recently classified the U of A as a national research university with a very high level of research activity, based on the number of doctoral degrees awarded, research grants received, and other factors. The U of A is the only Arkansas institution with such a ranking and is among just 108 institutions in the United States (out of 4,633) to have received that classification. The U of A has enormous influence over Arkansans’ social, cultural, and recreational life, especially the widespread passion for the university’s athletics teams, the Arkansas Razorbacks. The U of A’s location in northwest Arkansas is viewed as one of the university’s strongest attributes. Fayetteville is widely recognized as one of the best college communities in the U.S. The city’s Dickson Street district abuts the U of A campus and features scores of restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues. Northwest Arkansas is a vibrant economic region with a national reputation for its high quality of life. Three of the U.S.’s largest corporations have their world headquarters in the region: Tyson Foods, J.B. Hunt Transportation, and the world’s largest retailer, Walmart, Inc. Because of their presence, many other corporations have established primary or secondary headquarters in Northwest Arkansas. Their close proximity to the U of A campus, along with their executives’ and employees’ active involvement in university life, offers students and faculty exceptional opportunities for research partnerships, internships, and post-graduation employment. The U of A boasts one of the most unique features and traditions found on any college or university campus: Senior Walk, a nearly three-mile stretch of concrete sidewalks crisscrossing campus into which the names of every U of A graduate is engraved. More than 140,000 names currently appear, grouped alphabetically by year of graduation. Senior Walk epitomizes the university’s emphasis on “putting students first,” a philosophy captured in its tag line, “the YOU of A.” The U of A features distinctive architecture, including its signature building, Old Main, finished in 1875. As the original administrative facility, the iconic building now houses the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. The college is named in

OLD MAIN One of the original buildings on Arkansas’ campus, Old Main symbolizes the strong connection to the past and the focus upon the future which come together in the present at the University of Arkansas. Completed in 1875, Old Main stood the test of time until the mid1980s when age and modern building codes threatened to send it to the wrecking ball as had happened to its sister building at the University of Illinois. A major fund-raising campaign by alumni totally renovated Old Main. Reopening in 1992, the building maintains the feel of a Victorian-era building with high ceilings and elaborate wooden trim. Just below the surface of the period hardwood floors, Old Main is hard-wired to the internet and built to last well into its second century. Even with renovation, Old Main remained unfinished until 2005. One of the gifts during the Campaign for the Twenty-First Century specified the installation of a clock, originally planned for the blank faces of the south tower. As mentioned, Old Main was built from shared plans with its counterpart on the Illinois campus, with one important difference. The north tower of Arkansas’ Old Main is taller than the south tower. Legend says this was symbolic of the Civil War as the lead engineer was a northern veteran.

THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS

honor of former U of A President (and, later, U.S. Senator) J. William Fulbright, who helped create the prestigious international scholarship and fellowship programs that bear his name. The U of A’s distinctive Fulbright Peace Fountain, designed by architect Fay Jones, recognizes its namesake’s role in promoting peaceful resolution of world conflicts. Academically, the U of A is organized into 10 schools and colleges: the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences; the College of Education and Health Professions; the College of Engineering; the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences; and the Sam M. Walton College of Business. The university also features the Fay Jones School of Architecture, the Graduate School and International Education, the Honors College, the School of Law and the Global Campus, which provides academic outreach and programs to more than 15,000 learners a year. The U of A’s total annual operating budget for FY2012 is $528 million. Tuition and fee revenues make up the largest source of revenues, followed by an annual state appropriation. Almost 77 percent of all full-time undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid. U of A undergraduate tuition rates were ranked 38th lowest in the nation among land-grant universities, in keeping with the university’s emphasis on keeping itself accessible and affordable. In August 2011, the U of A enrolled a record 23,119 students. The student body consisted of students from all 50 states and more than 100 countries. More than 300 student organizations also exist on campus. There are plenty of things to do on- and offcampus. The HPER Center, the university’s state-of-the-art recreational facility, offers a great place to climb, swim, run, lift weights, do aerobics and yoga, or play basketball. Cultural and recreational options include attending lectures, readings, and theatrical performances, shopping opportunities, and listening to live music on nearby Dickson Street. In 2009, University Chancellor G. David Gearhart presented a long-range strategic plan that was formally endorsed by the elected leaders of the faculty, staff, and student body. The plan emphasizes a commitment to “students first,” and outlines goals and strategies to ensure that all students receive the resources and support they need to achieve their academic goals. The plan also emphasizes the U of A’s commitment to transparency and accountability to the people of Arkansas in its operation. More information about the U of A may be found at www.uark.edu.

SENIOR WALk The University of Arkansas is proud to be the last university in the nation maintaining what once was a common tradition of etching its graduates’ names into the campus sidewalks. The 100,000th graduate’s name went down in cement during the 1990s. The names on Senior Walk stretch over three miles of campus sidewalks. The story of Senior Walk is a perfect example of how the University of Arkansas brings its commitment to the past together with innovations for the future. When the costs involved in hand-etching names into concrete forced numerous other universities to give up, the University of Arkansas turned to its physical plant and engineering school grads to create a one-of-a-kind computerized sandblasting machine -- the SandHog. Each summer, the SandHog roars across the front lawn of Old Main, etching the names of graduates into sidewalks.

ARKANSAS LEADERS

DR. G. DAVID GEARHART CHANCELLOR

Dr. G. David Gearhart became the chancellor of the University of Arkansas on July 1, 2008, following 10 years of service to the university as vice chancellor for university advancement. Previously he was senior vice president of Penn State University, during which time he was named a Fulbright Scholar, studying at Oxford University in Oxford, England. His Bachelor of Arts degree is from Westminster College in Missouri. Both his law degree and his doctor of education degree are from the University of Arkansas. He is a native of Fayetteville. Prior to being appointed chancellor, Dr. Gearhart oversaw the Campaign for the Twenty-First Century, the most successful capital campaign in Arkansas history, which raised more than $1 billion for academic programs. As chancellor, Dr. Gearhart instituted the first tuition freeze in 24 years and implemented a $220 million campus building renovation and refurbishment plan, as well as a campus-wide energy savings plan. He has also undertaken a renewed emphasis on the arts on campus, including the establishment of the “All Steinway Campus.” Dr. Gearhart has additionally implemented a major cost savings program that has already resulted in over $29.4 million in cost reduction and savings to the flagship campus. Campus enrollment has also grown by nearly 6,000 students in the past three years to almost 25,000 students. At the same time, diversity in the student body has increased significantly. He and his wife of more than 35 years, Jane, have two children and two grandchildren.

DR. SHARON HuNT FACuLTy ATHLETICS REpRESENTATIVE

Chancellor G. David Gearhart appointed Dr. Sharon Hunt to be the faculty athletics representative (FAR) for the University of Arkansas in August 2010. Dr. Hunt is the first woman and non-lawyer to hold the post. Dr. Hunt has been on the University of Arkansas faculty since 1990, and she served as the department head of the recently renamed Department of Health, Human Performance and Recreation from July 1,1990 until June 30, 2011 except for the 2000-01 academic year, when she served as the interim dean of the College of Education and Health Professions On June 30, 2011 Dr. Hunt stepped down as department head and returned to the faculty at the rank of Professor giving her more time to devote to the FAR position. A high school athlete, Hunt’s involvement with collegiate athletics dates back to her own college days at the University of Arkansas when she played extramural sports with the women’s basketball and tennis teams prior to the enactment of Title IX. After receiving her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physical education from the university, she went on to earn a Doctor of Education degree from the University of Georgia, where she taught a variety of undergraduate courses as a graduate assistant. Upon the completion of her doctoral degree, she joined the faculty of the University of Kentucky for 13 years, where she taught both undergraduate and graduate courses and served as the graduate coordinator for the Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation. In 1990, she and her family returned to Fayetteville. The FAR’s responsibilities lie in three broad areas: academic integrity within the athletics program, student-athlete well-being, and institutional control of the athletics program. Dr. Hunt is involved in the student-athlete advisory council on campus and chairs the Academic Credential Review Committee and Athletic’s Academic Integrity Committee, and serves as an ex-officio member of the Faculty Athletics Committee. In addition, she travels to represent the University of Arkansas at various SEC and NCAA meetings. Dr. Hunt was instrumental in establishing the graduate athletic training education program in the College of Education and Health Professions, and she has worked closely with athletics on that program. The athletics department provides support to students in the athletic training education program in the form of a stipend, books and travel to the Arkansas Athletic Trainers’ Association annual meeting. Two endowed scholarships for athletic training students in honor of longtime Razorback trainers Dean Weber and the late Bill Ferrell were established through the athletics department. Dr. Hunt has been married to David Hunt since 1973, and they have an adult son and daughter as well as a grandson.

ARKANSAS LEADERS

JEFF LONG

VICE CHANCELLOR FOR INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS & DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Entering his fifth full year as Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics, Jeff Long has guided the University of Arkansas’ Department of Intercollegiate Athletics through a period of unprecedented transition and gained national attention for his leadership while revitalizing a tradition-rich athletics program encompassing 19 sports and more than 460 student-athletes. Long leads a comprehensive athletics program uniformly committed to the development of student-athletes academically, athletically and socially. A part of Chancellor G. David Gearhart’s Executive Committee, Long is helping to chart the course for the future of higher education at the University of Arkansas while integrating Razorback Athletics into the campus community. In each of the past three years, Razorback Athletics has made a $1 million gift to support the university’s academic mission. The department’s total support of university and student programs and initiatives includes $1.9 million in direct funding of academic programs. Long’s leadership and unwavering commitment to the student-athletes and maintaining integrity within intercollegiate athletics has not gone unnoticed. In 2011-12, Long was named a finalist for the SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily Athletic Director of the Year. In the spring of 2012, the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation and longtime chairman Fred W. Smith made a gift of more than $1.25 million to the program in recognition of Long’s leadership of Razorback Athletics. In Long’s tenure, Arkansas has captured 11 conference championships and advanced to 68 post-season competitions, including the school’s first Bowl Championship Series appearance in football, while drawing more than a million fans annually to campus to cheer on the Razorbacks. In 2011-12, Arkansas finished No. 20 in the Learfield Sports Directors Cup, a year-long competition ranking the nation’s most successful intercollegiate athletic programs, the fourth time in the past five years the Razorbacks have finished in the nation’s top 25. In the classroom, the Razorbacks continue to set new standards including posting a student-athlete grade point average of 3.07 in 2011-12. It marked the fourth consecutive year Razorback student-athletes posted a GPA exceeding 3.0. Arkansas exceeds the national APR multi-year rate by more than 10 points in 18 sports and has seen a steady rise in graduation success rates. Student-athlete development has also been a priority including the establishment of the Razorback Leadership Academy, the first of its kind in the Southeastern Conference. In the community, Razorback student-athletes are more active than ever volunteering more than 5,000 hours of time for more than 100 agencies, organizations and schools. One of the nation’s most active athletic directors on Twitter, Long embraces the opportunity to interact with members of the Razorback Nation whether in person or through social media. Long was selected to replace legendary athletic director and former Razorback football coach Frank Broyles and even before he officially took the reins on Jan. 1, 2008, Arkansas announced that it would combine its previously independent men’s and women’s athletic programs into one combined athletic program. Long adeptly blended the men’s and women’s athletic departments into one unified department and established a new administrative structure. Long has also worked tirelessly to maintain long-time relationships and to forge new relationships for the benefit of the Razorback program including extending Arkansas’ relationship with War Memorial Stadium and partnering with former Razorback Jerry Jones to develop the Southwest Classic, a football series with Texas A&M played at the spectacular Cowboys Stadium. Under Long’s leadership, the program has fortified its financial standing ensuring more support for the development of student-athletes. According

The Longs: (l-r): Jeff, Fanny, Stephanie and Christina.

to the Wall Street Journal, Arkansas is one of only 22 self-sustaining Division I-A athletic programs in the nation. As economic indicators were beginning to point toward challenging economic times, Long signed Arkansas to a deal with IMG College to form Razorback Sports Properties that guarantees the Razorback program $73 million during the course of the decade-long agreement. Long also negotiated an extensive all sports apparel and footwear agreement with NIKE, Inc. that will outfit all 19 Razorback sports programs through the 2014-15 season. In December 2011, Forbes Magazine estimated the value of the Razorback Football program at $89 million, eighth in the nation. ArkanFollow me @JeffLongUA sas saw the largest increase (59%) from the previous rankings released in 2009. In 2010, Long moved to help meet the growing financial needs of fielding a nationally competitive all sports program. The athletic department launched the “Answer the Call” campaign through the Razorback Foundation which resulted in more than 2,600 new members and helped generate more than $6.5 million in additional support for Razorback student-athletes. With an eye towards the future, Long commissioned a comprehensive plan to assess the future facility needs of the program. Unveiled in October 2011, the Razorback Athletic Facilities Master Plan provided a vision and the road map for $320 million of facility renovations and additions that will help all 19 Razorback sports remain competitive in the Southeastern Conference and nationally over the next 30 years. The first major project from the master plan, the football center, is currently being constructed with a targeted completion date in 2013. A veteran administrator with a track record of the highest commitment to the concept of “student-athlete,” Long has had more than two decades experience in athletic administration at the Division I level including at the University of Pittsburgh, University of Oklahoma, University of Michigan, Virginia Tech University, Eastern Kentucky University and Rice University. Long also understands the coach’s perspective from time spent in coaching staff positions at Duke University, University of Michigan and North Carolina State University. His experience as an athletic director and administrator in five of the six Bowl Championship Series conferences – the Big 12, Big Ten, Big East, Atlantic Coast and SEC - gives Long a uniquely informed perspective on intercollegiate athletics. On the forefront of NCAA governance, Long has served on the NCAA Management Council, the NCAA’s Sports Wagering Task Force and as a member of the Executive Committee of the Division I-A Athletic Directors’ Association. Long currently serves on the NCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. Prior to assuming his current roles at Arkansas, Long served for four years as the athletic director at the University of Pittsburgh. Long redefined Pitt athletics, most notably through the “Quest for Excellence” campaign that raised nearly $34 million to enhance the student-athlete experience. During his tenure the Panthers’ were selected as the No. 17 overall program in the nation in the December 2006 Sports Illustrated on Campus’ All-Sport Rankings. Before arriving at Pitt, Long was senior associate athletic director at Oklahoma for two and a half years overseeing external affairs for the Sooners.
