MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE Kansas City Wizards) and Blair Gavin (No. 10 overall to Chivas USA).
Jon Steinbrecher Commissioner Mid-American Conference Providing leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 64th year of service to the student-athlete. Since its inception in 1946, the MAC has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only 11 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in the 64-year history of the league in March of 2009. Steinbrecher came to the MAC after serving six years as the commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference. The league has grown its commitment to championships by expanding to six its number of neutral site post season events – football (Detroit’s Ford Field), volleyball (Toledo’s SeaGate Centre), men’s and women’s basketball (Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena), softball (Akron’s Firestone Stadium) and baseball (Chillicothe’s VA Memorial Stadium). The MAC tied a league record in 2009 with ve schools participating in football bowl games – Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Northern Illinois, Ohio and Temple. This marked the second consecutive season for the MAC to send ve schools to bowl appearances and only the third time in conference history (2004, 2008, 2009). The 2009 season also witnessed Central Michigan ranked No. 23 in the AP poll and No. 24 in the USA Today coaches poll at the end of the season following a dramatic 4441 2OT win over Troy in the GMAC Bowl. Two more MAC teams defeated Big Ten opponents during the regular season as Central Michigan defeated Michigan State, 29-27 at East Lansing, Mich., while Northern Illinois rolled to a 28-21 win at Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind. For the rst time in its 64-year history, the MAC will have ve bowl relationships -three primary and two secondary -- for the next four seasons (2010-2013). The three primary agreements are with the Little Caesar’s Pizza Bowl (Detroit, Mich.), GMAC Bowl (Mobile, Ala.) and uDrove Humanitarian Bowl (Boise, Idaho). Several other milestones occurred in football last season. Central Michigan QB Dan LeFevour nished his career with three MAC Championships and four consecutive bowl appearances and completed his career with 150 total touchdowns -- most in FBS history -- and is the MAC career leader in total offensive yards, passing yards, completions, attempts and passing touchdowns. Bowling Green WR Freddie Barnes led the country in receptions and was one of three nalists for the Biletnikoff Award, given annually to the nation’s top wide receiver. Western Michigan QB Tim Hiller won the 2009 Wuerffel Trophy, better known as the Humanitarian Heisman, given annually to one football student-athlete that showed excellence athletically, academically and in giving back to the community. This past April, ve MAC players were selected in the NFL Draft and over 20 more were signed to free agent contracts. Finally the National Football Foundation recognized 13 MAC student-athletes to the 2010 Hampshire Honor Society with success both athletically and academically with a 3.20 GPA or better. In its partnership with ESPN, the MAC will enter the second year of its eight-year rights agreement (through 2016-2017 academic year) for football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball. The deal is the most extensive in the 64-year history of the conference. The agreement calls for a minimum of 25 events annually to be produced and aired on an ESPN platform including the men’s and women’s basketball championships, a regular-season MAC presence on ESPN, the Marathon MAC Football Championship and a minimum of 11 regular-season football games.
Ohio’s men’s basketball team entered the MAC tournament as a No. 9 seed and defeated Akron in the MAC Championship game. The Bobcats went on and defeated No. 3 seed Georgetown in the opening round of the NCAA tournament before falling to Tennessee. In wrestling Central Michigan won its ninth consecutive MAC championship, while the MAC sent 26 wrestlers to the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championship where six grapplers secured All-America honors. Eastern Michigan won its fourth consecutive championship in men’s swimming and diving, while Kent State won its 18th MAC title in men’s golf and received its 23rd NCAA appearance. Western Michigan made its fth consecutive appearance to the NCAA Men’s Tennis Tournament. Women’s athletics continued to shine for the MAC this past year. For the rst time in MAC history ve basketball teams were invited to postseason tournaments. Bowling Green won the MAC tourney and received the invitation to the NCAA tournament, while Eastern Michigan, Kent State and Toledo all were invited to the WNIT and Akron received an invite to the Women’s Basketball Invitational. In women’s soccer, Central Michigan won the MAC championship and defeated Purdue in its rst NCAA tournament match in program history. Ohio won the MAC volleyball championship and defeated Notre Dame in the rst round of the NCAA tournament. In women’s swimming and diving, Toledo won its rst ever MAC championship, while Buffalo’s Meili Carpenter became the rst swimmer in school history to earn All-America status. Both Central Michigan and Kent State competed at the NCAA Regional Championships in gymnastics, while KSU won its 12th consecutive women’s golf conference title and advanced to the NCAA championships. From two-time Super Bowl quarterback winning Ben Roethlisberger (Miami), NFL Defensive MVP James Harrison (Kent State), three NFL Pro Bowlers (Cleveland KR Josh Cribbs, San Diego TE Antonio Gates, Pittsburgh LB James Harrison), British Open winner Ben Curtis (Kent State), World Series winning manager Bob Brenly (Ohio) and Olympic bobsled team member Brock Kreitzburg (Toledo), the Mid-American Conference continues to excel in producing leaders in the world of athletics. Based in Cleveland since July 1999 following a 15-year stay in Toledo, Ohio, the MAC has established historic measurements in both football and men’s and women’s basketball since moving to Northeast Ohio. The MAC was founded as a ve-school league on February 24, 1946 in Columbus, Ohio with Ohio, Butler, Cincinnati, Wayne State and Western Reserve admitted as charter members. The Mid-American Conference has 12 full-time schools and a 13th, Temple, for football only. Comprising the East Division is the University of Akron (joined in 1992), Bowling Green State University (1952), University at Buffalo (1998), Kent State University (1951), Miami University (1947), Ohio University (1946) and Temple University (2007). The West Division members are Ball State University (1973), Central Michigan University (1971), Eastern Michigan University (1971), Northern Illinois University (1975-86, 1997), University of Toledo (1950) and Western Michigan University (1947). In 1946 men’s basketball was the rst competitive sport in the MAC, which now sponsors a total 23 sports. Women’s sports were brought into the conference’s structure in 1980. For men, championships (11) are sponsored in football, basketball, baseball, cross country, soccer, swimming and diving, indoor track and eld, outdoor track and eld, wrestling, golf and tennis. For women, championships (12) are sponsored in basketball, softball, volleyball, cross country, eld hockey, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, gymnastics, indoor track and eld, outdoor track and eld and tennis.
Akron continued its dominance in men’s soccer and was ranked No. 1 in the country through the entire year. The Zips won their 12th regular season championship and fell to Virginia in the NCAA College Cup Championship Game. Akron coach Caleb Porter was named National Coach of the Year for NCAA Division I. UA striker Teal Bunbury received three honors, including the 2009 Hermann Trophy, the most prestigious honor in ntercollegiate soccer. Two Akron soccer players were selected in the top 10 of the MLS 2010 SuperDraft, including Bunbury (No. 4 overall to the

Christopher, the 12th full-time athletic directer in school history, began his duties in July of 2006 has accomplished a great deal in his rst four years in Northwest Ohio. Christopher oversees an 18-sport program which has a budget of $17 million and 75 full-time employees. BGSU, which is a member of the MidAmerican Conference (MAC) and Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA), is one of 13 programs in the country which sponsor Division I-A football and compete in men’s and women’s basketball and men’s ice hockey on the Division I level. A native of West Lafayette, Ind., Christopher has moved the BGSU athletic department forward in multiple areas in his rst four years. The Sebo Athletic Center was completed in the fall of 2007, featuring expanded and state-of-the-art sports medicine and rehabilitation facilities as well as a strength and conditioning area for all University student-athletes. The new front entrance for Doyt L. Perry Stadium, the building also houses administrative ofces as well as ofces and meeting rooms for the football Falcons. The Sebo Athletic Center is part of $14 million in new or renovated athletics facilities completed during Christopher’s tenure. That facilities list includes the new Keefe Tennis Complex, a renovation to Whittaker Track, improvements at baseball’s Steller Field and the FieldTurf inside Perry Stadium. Additionally, another $40 million is underway, including an $4 million renovation to the BGSU Ice Arena and a $36 million convocation center. The Stroh Center, a brand-new arena for the Falcon basketball and volleyball programs, is scheduled to be completed in 2011. Incremental facility improvement plans are also underway for other BGSU athletics venues. Athletic achievements of Christopher’s four years include eight conference banners, the most in a four-year span at BGSU since the early 1990’s. Highlights include the remarkable run of women’s basketball. The women’s hoops Falcons became the rst team in conference history to advance to the ‘Sweet 16’ of the NCAA in 2006-07, winning a MAC record 31 games along the way. Curt Miller’s team made its fourth trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2010, following the Falcons sixth straight conference title.

In 200910, BGSU student-athletes set a new bar for cumulative GPA record, charting a 3.07 mark, and 196 BG student-athletes had a GPA of at least 3.0.

Under his leadership, Purdue raised $17.2 million in total giving for Athletics in his nal year there. He also played a signicant role in a seven-year campuswide capital campaign which raised $111 million for Athletics during that period. Projects that came to fruition in that time frame include tripling the number of endowed athletic scholarships and several facility additions or renovations. Among the facility projects were an indoor golf training center, football stadium renovation, aquatic center, indoor tennis center, and basketball video board campaign.

His tenure focused largely on external relations, fueling growth that doubled the net worth of the foundation and association. He also improved relations with SPJ’s 250 local chapters and negotiated contracts and corporate partnerships. Prior to joining SPJ, Christopher was an Account Executive at WWWV-FM in Charlottesville, Va., from 1988-90. In that capacity, he designed and managed station promotions, including partnerships with the athletics program at the University of Virginia. He also was part of the “Page Program” at NBC in New York in 1988 where he served as a research analyst, assisting the Manager of Sports Programming and Market Analysis in research of television sports. Christopher also produced network sports tracking reports and surveys of major league sports.
