Commissioner Karl Benson
CONFERENCE
Since being named the fifth commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference on February 16, 2012, Karl Benson has helped reinvigorate the Sun Belt with his optimism, energy and enthusiasm. His vigor and forward thinking have often been called upon during his tenure – perhaps best exemplified when he hit the ground running in the spring of 2012. Benson quickly set the tone for the future of the Sun Belt Conference by adding Georgia State, UT Arlington and Texas State to the league after only being in his post for several weeks. In May of 2012 Benson had begun to further shape the Sun Belt Conference by promoting the league’s rebranding efforts. Sure enough only a year later, the Sun Belt had unveiled a new logo and new mantra “Together We Rise” - that is in line with the optimistic attitude that Benson has become so well-known for. Further solidifying the place of the Sun Belt Conference, Benson helped lead the league to the additions of Appalachian State and Georgia Southern as all-sports members and Idaho and New Mexico State as football playing members. All four announcements took place throughout the course of the day on March 27, 2013. In addition to strengthening the league through membership additions and rebranding efforts, Benson has been able to secure new homes for Sun Belt teams in the football postseason. With the 2014-15 year marking the debut of the College Football Playoff (CFP) the Sun Belt continues to find itself among the 10 premier college football conferences and the new system is guaranteed universal access based on performance – there are no automatic qualifiers for the playoff system. Additionally, the CFP will mean that a spot among the premier bowl games of college football will be guaranteed to the highest-ranked champion from the other “Group of Five” conferences: the Sun Belt Conference, American Athletic Conference, Mountain West Conference, Mid-American Conference and Conference USA. With the College Football Playoff included with the league’s other bowl arrangements, the Sun Belt Conference is tied to seven total bowl games. The R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the GoDaddy Bowl, the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, the Cure Bowl (debuting in 2015) all guarantee a home for a bowl eligible Sun Belt Conference team each year. And beginning with the 2016 season, the Sun Belt is also part of a rotation of conferences that will send a team to the Bahamas Bowl and the Miami Beach Bowl. Benson came to the Sun Belt after serving as the commissioner of the Western Athletic Conference since 1994. During his time at the WAC, Benson developed numerous multi-year agreements with postseason football games, including the Holiday Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Copper Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Silicon Valley Football Classic, GMAC Bowl, New Mexico Bowl, the Humanitarian Bowl, Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl, Poinsettia Bowl and Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. Under Benson’s leadership, the WAC achieved noted success by sending multiple teams to Bowl Championship Series (BCS) games as well as having sent a total of 38 teams to bowl games since 2001.
Benson served on the NCAA Management Council from 1999-2002 and a five-year term on the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee from 2002-06. Prior to his time at the WAC, Benson served as the commissioner of the Mid-American Conference for four years. There, he implemented several innovative projects and was instrumental in the formation of the Las Vegas Bowl. Prior to taking the reins of the MAC, Benson served on the NCAA staff for more than four years where he was the director of NCAA championships when selected as MAC commissioner. Benson joined the NCAA staff in January 1986, as a compliance representative and was appointed assistant director of championships in June 1987. He was promoted to director of championships in 1988. In that position, Benson actively supervised eight assistant directors in their administration of 68 NCAA championships. A native of the state of Washington, Benson graduated from high school in Pullman in 1970, attended Spokane Falls Community College and then received a bachelor of science degree in physical education from Boise State University in 1975. He has also completed course work toward his master’s degree in athletics administration at the University of Utah. Benson played baseball at both Spokane Falls Community College and Boise State University before serving as the baseball coach at Fort Steilacoom Community College in Tacoma, Wash., for eight years and as the director of athletics at Fort Steilacoom from 197984. From 1984-86, he was an assistant baseball coach and an administrative assistant in the athletics department at Utah. He received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Boise State in April of 2006. Benson is also a member of the Spokane Falls and Fort Steilacoom Halls of Fame. Benson was born on December 1, 1951 and has one daughter, Jessica, 23, a graduate of the University of Southern California and current Sports Anchor/Reporter for KNDU-TV - a NBC affiliate television station based in Southeastern Washington.

Head Coach Jim Fox
Jim Fox was named the 21st head coach in Appalachian State University men’s basketball history on April 8, 2014. Fox’s first season at Appalachian was one of rebuilding and progress. Despite inheriting a team that won just nine games the year before his arrival, he was able to turn the program in the right direction in just one season. Despite being picked to finish last in the 11-team Sun Belt Conference, App finished sixth in the league in its inaugural Sun Belt campaign. In addition, the Mountaineers scored an upset over Georgia State, which would go on to win the conference and advance to the third round of the NCAA Tournament, and pulled off a last-second win at Virginia Tech for their first win against a high-major opponent since 2007. Appalachian also earned a regular-season win over Hampton, which advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, and nearly pulled off the upset of an Alabama squad that made an NIT appearance at the end of the year. Along the way, Fox saw junior guard Frank Eaves solidify himself as one of the top players in the conference as he earned second-team all-Sun Belt honors and was named Sun Belt Player of the Week two times while finishing fifth in the league in scoring (16.6 ppg). Fox came to Appalachian State from Davidson, where he coached for the 13 seasons, including the last two as associate head coach.

THE EXPERIENCE It is well-known that collegiate athletics departments across the country place a common emphasis on graduation, but Arkansas State has taken it a step further by fulfilling a bold promise of 100 percent job placement for all its graduating student-athletes. A-State continues to reach that goal through its newly-developed Red Wolves Leadership Academy, which strengthened with a new study abroad component added to foster global awareness which is often cited by employers as a positive attribute they seek. Arkansas State student-athletes took part in the first study abroad program offered by any university and their athletics department in the nation in the summer of 2015. The program goes hand-in-hand with the Red Wolves Leadership Academy, designed with the sole purpose to obtain 100 percent job placement for all student-athletes upon graduation. The Student-Athlete Academic Success Center at Arkansas State University, located in the Performance Enhancement Complex, is yet another resource that Red Wolf Student-Athletes have for their studies and advancement. The center serves as a resource to assist student-athletes

ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY Georgia Southern University offers more than 100 academic majors in a comprehensive array of baccalaureate degrees and selected master’s and doctoral programs. The University has earned a reputation for providing all of the benefits of a major university with the feeling of a much smaller college. In 2011, Georgia Southern was named the fourth most popular university in the country in the U.S. News & World Report’s “Top 20 Most Popular Universities.” One of the top choices in Georgia for new freshmen, including HOPE Scholars, Georgia Southern enrolls an increasingly selective student body representing the United States and nearly 100 nations. The nearly 700 acre park-like campus continues an era of capital construction that has opened new facilities for colleges and academic programs, student recreation and development, university housing, athletics, and public service. The learning environment is enhanced by a museum of cultural and natural history, a botanical garden, a unique wildlife education and raptor center, a performing arts center, the Center for Art and Theatre, and a continuing education and conference center. The campus is located in Statesboro, a classic Main Street community near historic Savannah and Hilton Head Island. Notable Alumni: Daniel Cathy, President Chick-Fil-A; Tony Townley, co-founder of Zaxby’s Restaurant; Hala Moddelmog, President of Arby’s; Luke Bryan, Country Music Singer; Mike Davis, Executive Director, USGA.

Head Coach Mark Byington
The 2015-16 season in Mark Byington’s third campaign with the Eagles. With two years already in the books, Byington has tallied a pair of memorable seasons which included the program’s first 20-win season in a decade, and the Eagles’ first trip to a conference championship game in two decades. Over his two full seasons in Statesboro Byington is 37-28 and carries a 44-32 mark when factoring in his stint as Interim Head Coach at College of Charleston. Byington joined the Eagles after a stop at Virginia Tech which followed nine seasons at College of Charleston under legendary head coach Bobby Cremins. A 1998 graduate of UNC Wilmington, Byington earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education and was a three-year starter on the men’s basketball team, earning second-team All-Colonial Athletic Association and All-CAA Defensive Team honors his senior year. A two-time CAA All-Academic selection, he scored more than 1,000 points during his career.

Head Coach Ron Hunter
In four seasons, Ron Hunter has changed the national perception of Georgia State; winning 87 games, the most in any four-year stretch in program history, and advancing to the postseason three teams. The biggest highlight came this past year winning 25 games for a second year in a row and advancing to the third round of the NCAA tournament following the upset of No. 3-seed Baylor. Georgia State entered elite status by winning 25 or more games in each of the last two years, an accomplishment only reached by 20 programs in the entire country. Hunter is now responsible for three of the four winningest seasons in program history and half of the school’s postseason appearances. After winning the Sun Belt regular season title for the second straight season in 2014-15, the Panthers claimed the tournament title, just the third for the program and to advanced to the NCAA tournament.

Head Coach Keith Richard
Coming off one of the greatest seasons in program history, Keith Richard begins his sixth year at the helm of his alma mater. Richard’s historic turnaround in 2014-15 came in his very first season without any APR sanctions in-which he inherited when he took over. The reigning Sun Belt Conference and Louisiana Coach of the Year has completely rebuilt the program both on and off the court. He coached the Warhawks to 24 wins last season, the third-most in school history, and also posted the third-largest turnaround in the nation from the year before. Richard guided the team to the championship series of the CBI last year which included a game in the month of April, the first-ever for ULM or any team from the Sun Belt Conference. He coached a pair of All-Conference student-athletes including Tylor Ongwae who became the first ever First-Team All-SBC selection from ULM.

THE EXPERIENCE As part of the ULM Athletics Academic Improvement Plan, the athletic department recently added new staff, increased tutoring opportunities, improved the administrative technology and expanded the supervised study program. Continuing its commitment to academic excellence, ULM opened the doors to the Clarke M. Williams Student Success Center for the 2008-09 school year. The center is an academic-orientented building containing a computer lab, individual and group study rooms and counseling areas/ ULM recently honored the first 66-person class in the “Maroon and Gold Society”, which is an honors program for ULM student-athletes based on their academic success. Career counseling and internship opportunities are available to student-athletes and all students through the ULM Office of Career Connections. Career Connections hosts career fairs, conducts individual sessions and offers workshops on various related topics. The mission of the ULM Student Success Center (SSC) is to encourage and assist students in the exploration of their interests, the pursuit of their goals, and the development of their intellectual knowledge and skills as they strive to reach their full potential. UL Monroe also has four athletic academic counselor positions including one coordinator of academic counseling. There are also many academic advisers who serve the entire student population including student-athletes. Athletic academic counselors do not advise for coursework; they “pre-advise.” The athletic academic counselors also perform several functions specific to student-athletes, including individual academic counseling, working with the coaching staffs of assigned teams, tracking continuing eligibility and completing Prospective Student Athlete evaluation.
UL Monroe student-athletes utilize the Clarke M. Williams Student Success Center for academic related activities as well as career planning.
Notably, the Warhawk men’s basketball team recovered from its APR penalty and earned the Sun Belt Conference Best GPA award for 2013-14. The team also earned two consecutive Team Academic Excellence Awards from the National Association of Basketball Coaches in 2013 and 2014. In total, $4,389,996 worth of athletic scholarships in the 2014-15 academic year were awarded to 286 student-athletes. Of that, $1,665,310 worth of athletic scholarships in the 2014-15 academic year were awarded to 91 football student-athletes. In the 2013-14 academic year alone $400,329 was given to 194 student-athletes from the Student Assistance Fund (SAF).

Head Coach Matthew Graves
Entering his third season, Matthew Graves’ mission to “change the culture” at South Alabama may have resulted in only one more win overall in year two, but the team went 9-10 to close the regular season after a slow start to earn a No. 6 seed in the conference tournament and advance to the quarterfinals. Prior to his arrival in Mobile, he spent the previous 10 seasons as an assistant on the staff at Butler, where his efforts helped the Bulldogs advance to back-to-back NCAA Tournament championship games. As an assistant coach, Graves helped the program to an overall record of 244-98 (71.3%). Following the 2009-10 campaign that saw the Bulldogs finish 33-5 after falling to Duke 61-59 in the national title contest, he was promoted to associate head coach; in his first year in that role, Butler returned to the NCAA Tournament championship game while going on to post a 28-10 record.

Head Coach Scott Cross
Scott Cross has presided over the most successful era in Maverick Basketball since taking over the program in 2006. Cross has compiled a record of 153128 over nine seasons. Of the top five seasons in UT Arlington history, Cross has coached three of those teams, including the top two. The Mavericks have gone to the postseason three times under his watch, including back-to-back trips in 2011-12 and 2012-13. That marked the first consecutive postseasons in program history. Over that two-year span, only two of Texas’ 21 Division I programs had more wins than the Mavericks’ 43. UT Arlington had only one postseason trip in the 46 years prior to Cross’ arrival. He’s the only men’s basketball coach in school history with a winning record. Cross’ first head coaching job has produced a long list of school records, firsts and accomplishments. Known as a tireless worker, excellent recruiter and great ambassador for his program, Cross is poised to lead the men’s basketball program to even greater heights.

THE EXPERIENCE The University of Texas at Arlington is a growing research powerhouse committed to life-enhancing discovery, innovative instruction, and caring community engagement. An educational leader in the heart of the thriving North Texas region, UT Arlington nurtures minds within an environment that values excellence, ingenuity, and diversity. Guided by world-class faculty members, the University’s more than 51,000 students in campus-based and online degree programs represent about 100 countries and pursue more than 180 bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in a broad range of disciplines. UT Arlington is dedicated to producing the lifelong learners and critical thinkers our region and nation demand. More than 60 percent of the University’s 190,000 alumni live in North Texas and contribute to our annual economic impact of $12.8 billion in the region. With a growing number of campus residents, UT Arlington has become a first-choice university for students seeking a vibrant college experience. In addition to receiving a first-rate education, our students participate in a robust slate of co-curricular activities that prepare them to become the next generation of leaders. UT Arlington provides 25 to 30 tutors to student-athletes, 20 of which are used on a regular/reoccurring basis. Student-athletes may also request a tutor for a specific class. The institution’s goal is to locate a tutor for any class a student-athlete is having difficulty in, whether it is an intro level class or a senior level class. Athletics employs four full-time academic advisors, along with three fulltime staff members dedicated to compliance, eligibility, and student-athlete welfare. One academic advisor is primarily responsible for at-risk students and any student-athlete that may need a learning accommodation for a diagnosed learning disability. In March 2012 the institution opened College Park Center, a new indoor sports arena which houses the new primary academic center for student-athletes. The academic center contains a computer lab with 30 computers, including PCs and MACs. Student-athletes are able to check out 5 MAC and 5 Dell laptops as well. It also has a 50-seat classroom used for individual study, the College Adjustment class each fall semester, and as the meeting location for SAAC. There are also three small group/tutor study areas. Two academic advisors are stationed at the primary facility.
UT Arlington’s goal is to provide quality medical care for the student athletes of UT Arlington. The Athletic Training Staff consists of the head, associate, assistant, and student athletic trainers working in conjunction with team physicians. The secondary academic facility, located closer to the outdoor sports teams’ facilities, has a 30-seat classroom and six computers. Two academic advisors are stationed at that facility. The institution hosts a student-athlete only job fair. 20 companies attended last year’s job fair and the institution hopes to have 5 to 7 more companies at this year. The institution will host a ‘Next Steps’ dinner in Spring 2015 for juniors and seniors, emphasizing tips on entering the job market. Student-athletes regularly participate in community service and volunteer projects on and around campus. They distribute food as part of the Urban Ministries program and speak to elementary students about their student-athlete experience. They help clear debris from elderly residents’ yards after a devastating storm and have rung the Salvation Army bell during Christmas time.

Head Coach Danny Kaspar
Danny Kaspar is in his third season at Texas State, after coaching 13 seasons as the head coach at Stephen F. Austin, where he guided the Lumberjacks to a 246-141 record that included seven 20-win seasons. Last season Kaspar guided Texas State to a six-win improvement, the most in a single season since the 2006-07 year. The Bobcats also made their first appearance in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament, and earned their first win in the event, beating UT Arlington 68-62 in the quarterfinals. Defensively, Kaspar improved on an impressive 2013-14 season by lowering the Bobcats points allowed per game to 59.8, the lowest in a single season at Texas State since the 1982-83 season. That mark was best the in the Sun Belt and 23rd in the country. Following the year, Emani Gant was named to the All-Sun Belt Conference Second Team, and TABC District 24 Second Team

THE EXPERIENCE
The Texas State University Athletic Academic Center (AAC) is structured after the principles of the NCAA Life Skills Program to provide student-athletes with five basic components, Academic Excellence, Athletic Excellence, Community Service, Career Development and Personal Development. The AAC, which is open six days a week, houses a state-of-theart computer lab, areas for both individual and group study, and offices for the AAC staff.
The AAC is led by five full-time professional staff members, four graduate assistant students and university trained tutors. The AAC offers drop-in tutoring for Math and assigned tutoring for other subjects. Currently there are 20 tutors that specifically tutor the student-athletes in the AAC. Academics will also find additional tutors on as needed basis for specific subjects. Student-athletes are encouraged to seek assistance in the Student Learning Assistance Center (SLAC) in the Alkek Library and in the Disability Services Office. The Academic Mentoring Program is designed as a mentor program to assist freshman, transfer and at-risk student-athletes. Each student on the mentoring program is assigned a mentor in the AAC who they meet with on a regular basis throughout the semester. The mentoring program requires that each student-athlete complete at least six hours of study time each week in the Athletic Academic Center. Student-athletes are encouraged to work with a career services counselor and to utilize the Career Service Center when deciding on a major, writing a resume or looking for internships and summer jobs. Career workshops for student-athletes are provided during the spring semester. The Career Services Center helps students in preparing for interviews by working on interviewing skills and etiquette. The Career Center is equipped with a computer lab and numerous books to help students with all aspects of career development and exploration. The AAC works closely with the PACE (Personalized Academic and Career Exploration) center to help freshman and undecided sophomores choose majors. Juniors and seniors may use PACE for resume writing and interview session, an etiquette dinner, and an employee mixer. An annual career fair is held to enable student-athletes to showcase their talent as a professional, skilled worker.
The Texas State Athletic Academic Center hosts several events and awards student-athletes who have achieved on the field and in the classroom. Throughout the year, Bobcat student-athletes, staff and coaches are encouraged to actively participate in the community. Bobcat Athletics has made a strong commitment to giving back to those in need making a sincere impact on the community that has supported our university for over 100 years. Every athletic team participates in various community service activities that fight against social/economic issues like cancer, heart disease, illiteracy and more. In total, $3,785,330 worth of athletic scholarships in the 2014-15 academic year were awarded to 293 student-athletes. Of that, $1,525,380 worth of athletic scholarships in the 2014-15 academic year were awarded to 91 football student-athletes. In the 2013-14 academic year alone $200,526 was given to 197 student-athletes from the Student Assistance Fund (SAF).

Head Coach Phil Cunningham
Head Coach Phil Cunningham is entering his second season as Troy’s head basketball coach. In the 2013-14 season, he led the Trojans to an 11-20 record including an appearance in the 2014 Sun Belt Conference Championships. In Cunningham’s first year, Hunter Williams broke the single-season 3-point record, surpassing assistant coach Ben Fletcher. Highlighting the season was a 85-81 win over Georgia State in Trojan Arena on ESPN2, which was the Panthers’ lone loss in Sun Belt play. The 24-year coaching veteran and nationally recognized assistant coach was named the head coach by Athletics Director John Hartwell at a press conference on March 26, 2013, in Troy’s state-ofthe-art Trojan Arena. Cunningham, who becomes the sixth head coach in Troy history, was named one of the top 25 assistant coaches in the NCAA by Rivals. com and was recognized by The Hoop Scoop recruiting publication as one of the top NCAA Division I men’s basketball assistant coaches. Cunningham took over the Troy program after Don Maestri announced his retirement on March 9 2013, following 31 seasons and 500 wins as the head coach of the Trojans.

TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURES
The seeds for the Championship shall be determined based on each team’s regular-season conference finish. In the event of a tie for a particular seed, the seed will be determined as follows: Two Teams Highest win-loss percentage of head-to-head competition during the regular season. 1. Each teams’ win-loss percentage vs. the team occupying the highest position in the final regular-season standings, and then continuing down through the standings until one teams gains an advantage. 2. When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to that group’s own tie-breaking procedure), rather than the performance against individual tied teams. 3. If the records are the same against all teams, then the seeded position would be determined by a toss of the coin by the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner. Three or More Teams 1. Highest win-loss percentage of the tied teams against each other is first considered. 2. Each teams’ win-loss percentage vs. the team occupying the highest position in the final regular-season standings, and then continuing down through the standings until one teams gains an advantage. 3. When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s record against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to that group’s own tie-breaking procedure), rather than the performance against individual tied teams. 4. If there is still a tie, the seeded position of the teams will be determined by a draw conducted by the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner. 5. For all ties involving three or more teams, once the tie is broken and the highest-seeded team is determined, the remaining tied teams will revert back to the beginning of the applicable tiebreaker.
