Runnin’ Bulldogs
RUNNIN’ BULLDOGS ON TELEVISION
Each 2014-2015 Gardner-Webb men’s basketball game in Paul Porter Arena will be broadcast live on WGWG.org with veteran play-by-play announcer Fabian Fuentes calling the action from press row.
The Gardner-Webb men’s basketball team will play in front a national television audience several times during the upcoming regular season. The Runnin’ Bulldogs’ season-opener at LSU on November 15 will air live on the SEC Network, with several other games airing on the PAC-12 Network (December 2 at Arizona) and the Big Ten Network (December 22 at Purdue).
ABOUT THE BIG SOUTH NETWORK TELEVISION PARTNERS • BIG SOUTH CONFERENCE AMERICAN SPORTS NETWORK The Big South Conference announced a new three-year partnership with the Sinclair Broadcast Group earlier this fall to air a minimum of 18 games per season on the newly formed American Sports Network, a collegiate sports initiative to be broadcast on a number of Sinclair’s broadcast television stations.
Coaches
The Big South Network marks its 10th season of live-streamed event broadcasting in 2014-15. From its humble beginnings as an ambitious experiment in the burgeoning technology of video streaming by showcasing a few key events, the Big South Network (BSN) has grown to an extensive cooperative among the Conference’s member institutions, sending out as many as 900 events annually to audiences watching from all around the world. That’s no exaggeration—it’s literally a global viewership for BSN, with 160 nations and recognized territories recorded as watching events, just since the start of the 2013-14 season (plus all 50 states and DC, of course)!
Gardner-Webb
Gardner-Webb fans both in the surrounding area and across the globe can tune in to WGWG.org to follow all the action as Gardner-Webb takes the floor against some of the top teams in both the region and the nation this season.
Media
RUNNIN’ BULLDOGS ON THE RADIO
Under the arrangement, Sinclair will distribute a minimum of six football games and seven men’s basketball games on the company’s CW and MyNet affiliates across the conference’s footprint of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, as well as New Jersey (football only).

University Gardner-Webb’s journey from a boarding high school to a thriving regional University is marked by remarkable growth, great determination, and unyielding perseverance. In 1903, the Kings Mountain and Sandy Run Baptist Associations conceived a vision of an institution of learning where young students would enjoy “the best possible educational advantages under distinctive Christian influence.” On December 2, 1905, the Boiling Springs High School, Gardner-Webb’s predecessor, was chartered. Even today, the University’s relationship with area churches is still strong. The institution was transformed into a junior college in 1928, and only survived the catastrophic Great Depression through God’s providential grace and the tireless efforts of numerous trustees and local champions of Christian education. Then in 1942, North Carolina Governor and Shelby native O. Max Gardner began devoting time and energy toward strengthening and guiding the College. In recognition of his efforts, those of his wife, Fay Webb Gardner, and their families, the school’s name was changed to GardnerWebb College. After World War II, the College experienced steady physical growth and academic development. New buildings sprang up, enrollments increased, and by the end of the 1960s, the College was ready to transition to a four-year institution. In 1971, Gardner-Webb earned its full accreditation as a senior college, and nine years later it began offering its first master’s degree in education.

Gardner-Webb Dr. A. Frank Bonner President Furman, 1969 10th Year
Born in Durham, North Carolina, Dr. A. Frank Bonner grew up in Greenville, South Carolina. The son of Francis Wesley Bonner (deceased) and Nilaouise Carnes Bonner, he was raised in a college environment, almost literally in the shadows of the campus of Furman University (Greenville, S.C). His father retired from Furman as Vice President and Provost, having served Furman for over thirty years as professor and, eventually, as chief academic officer. Bonner’s parents instilled in him the values he still holds dear. To this day, his father is his model for everything that a teacher, academic leader, and university administrator should be. Bonner graduated in 1969 from Furman with a B.A. degree in English. Coincidentally, his major professor was Dr. Phil L. Elliott, son of the legendary president of Gardner-Webb from 1943 until 1961, Phillip Lovin Elliott. After Furman, Bonner earned the M.A. from the University of Georgia in 1971, and the Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1977. His specialty is Victorian literature, primarily the poetry of Alfred Tennyson, and eighteenth-century British literature, with a special interest in Jonathan Swift. In 1974, Bonner began his academic career as a faculty member at Anderson University in Anderson, South Carolina. He was particularly active in civic life in Anderson, most notably as chairman of the Board of Trustees for Anderson County School District Five. Bonner was assigned various administrative responsibilities at Anderson and, immediately prior to coming to Gardner-Webb, was Associate Dean for Special Programs. In 1987, Bonner came to Gardner-Webb as Vice President for Academic Affairs. His role later evolved into Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs and then Provost and Senior Vice President. He was named President in May 2005 and took office on July 1. Bonner has been heavily involved in accreditation work through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), serving on more than thirty accreditation committees, most of those as the committee chair. He is a member of the SACSCOC Board of Trustees and serves on the Compliance and Reports Committee. He has also served on the nominating committee for the Commission on Colleges and has chaired four NCAA Division I Recertification visiting committees. Bonner is currently Vice President of the Big South Conference, Chair of the Board of Directors of the International Association of Baptist Colleges and Universities, and a member of the Executive Committee of the North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities. While at Gardner-Webb, Bonner has remained active in civic affairs, currently serving on the Board of Directors for the Boy Scouts of America Piedmont Council. He is a past chair of the Cleveland County Chamber, a Rotary past President, a Paul Harris Fellow, and he has been a board member for numerous organizations. He is a member of First Baptist Church, Shelby, where he teaches Sunday School and serves as a Deacon. After twenty-two years in the United States Army Reserve, Bonner retired at the rank of Colonel. Bonner is married to Florence Dell (Flossie) Black of Chester, South Carolina, also a Furman graduate. She is a retired high school mathematics teacher. They have two daughters, Alison Bonner Dalton of Charlotte, North Carolina, and Florence Bonner Crawford of Fort Myers, Florida. The Bonners have six grandchildren.
Administration Chuck Burch Vice President For Athletics Gardner-Webb, 1979 18th Year
Gardner-Webb alumnus Chuck Burch is in his 18th year as Vice President for Athletics and his 31st year in athletics administration. The Charlotte, N.C., native spearheaded the Runnin’ Bulldogs move into Division I athletics, which resulted in GardnerWebb’s addition to the Big South Conference as an associate member for football in 2001, and GWU’s move to the Big South as a full member – which became official on July 1, 2008. Burch oversees all athletic operations at Gardner-Webb, including management and supervision of athletic programs, facilities and budgets. During his career at GWU, Burch has overseen across-the-board improvements in athletics facilities and the addition of seven new sports since arriving in 1997. The most recent addition, women’s lacrosse, will begin play in 2014-2015. Burch is also responsible for continued improvements in the quality and quantity of Gardner-Webb’s athletics staff – with a number of full-time positions created to assist and enhance the entire department. GWU athletics has seen a steady increase in academic performance since Burch’s arrival, and the department has posted a combined GPA above 3.0 in each of the last seven academic years. In 2009-2010, Gardner-Webb posted its highest finish in the annual Big South Conference Sasser Cup, taking No. 4 in the final standings of the all-sports race. The women’s basketball team captured its first Big South Tournament title, advancing to the first round of the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship Tournament. Two other teams – women’s soccer and baseball – advanced to the league tournament title game in their respective seasons as well. Gardner-Webb’s final year in the Atlantic Sun Conference was fruitful, with several notable wins and the usual high number of strong academic performances by the Runnin’ Bulldogs’ student-athletes. GWU enjoyed its most successful athletics year as a Division I member in 2006-2007. Gardner-Webb won its first Atlantic Sun Conference Academic Championship, unseating Belmont University for the title. The Runnin’ Bulldogs also finished third in the men’s and women’s combined sports standings – a very impressive effort in the race for the inaugural Bill Bibb Trophy. Gardner-Webb’s men’s soccer team captured the imagination of fans across Cleveland County during its run to the 2006 A-Sun Championship and NCAA Tournament second round. National qualifiers in Track & Field, swimming and wrestling highlighted competitive success for the Runnin’ Bulldogs in 2006-2007. Burch, a graduate of Independence (N.C.) High in Charlotte, and former member of Gardner-Webb’s football and tennis teams, spent 1991-1997 as Director of Athletics at Liberty (Va.) University, and was instrumental in a successful and well run department in Lynchburg as well. He also served Liberty as Associate Director of Athletics (1988-1990), Assistant Director of Athletics (1984-1988), Sports Information Director (1986-1988) and Assistant Director of Sports Information (1982-1984). After graduating from Gardner-Webb in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in Social Science, Burch, 55, earned his master’s degree from Eastern Kentucky University in 1982. His wife, Franki, holds a Ph.D. in Health Education from the University of Virginia, and is Associate Provost for Professional and Graduate Studies at Gardner-Webb. The couple has three children, Travis, Danielle and Amy.
Athletic An integral part of the entire Gardner-Webb University athletics program, the Athletic Training Program emphasizes the importance of wellness in the teams’ pursuit of success. Under the supervision of Kevin Jones, ATC, and the rest of the Athletic Training faculty and staff, athletic training students complete part of their clinical education with the University’s 21 varsity sports. Jones and his staff work toward the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. The athletic training students at GWU are fortunate to have a faculty and staff of nine certified athletic trainers and a cooperative intercollegiate athletics staff to enhance their learning experience. The clinical education that is conducted while serving the student-athletes at GardnerWebb University allows for comprehensive medical care in a learning environment. The athletic training educational program recently completed its full accreditation by CAATE, marking an exciting moment in the program’s history. Athletic training students are able to pursue a B.S. in Athletic Training through the Department of Physical Education and Sport Studies. Upon graduation, athletic training students must complete a three-part examination conducted by the National Athletic Trainer’s Association’s Board of Certification to become Certified Athletic Trainers (ATC). One of the most respected academic majors on campus, the Gardner-Webb Athletic Training educational program boasts a growing enrollment and provides students with first-class instruction and practical experience in their chosen field of study. Currently, GardnerWebb graduates are working with NFL teams, colleges and universities, high schools and physical therapy clinics. After their academic careers at Gardner-Webb, many students also choose to seek graduate assistant positions at colleges and universities around the nation.

His biggest victory came off the court, as he overcame a Hodgkin’s Disease diagnosis midway through his sophomore season.
Beasley helped the Golden Eagles to OVC titles in 2001 and 2002, with the 2002 squad going a strong 27-7 and winning three NIT games – over Georgia State, Dayton and Yale – before falling to John Calipari and eventual NIT champion Memphis in the quarterfinals by just six points. Beasley was honored as the Sam Harley Lynn Award recipient in 1999 and earned the Golden Eagle Award for sacrifice, dedication and hard work in 2001-02. He also won the John P.

Andrew Tulowitzky is in his second season as Director of Basketball Operations at Gardner-Webb University. Tulowitzky joined the Runnin’ Bulldogs last season from Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, where he worked as an assistant coach for the past five seasons.

2014-2015 Season Preview Gardner-Webb enjoyed a tremendous start to the Tim Craft era in 2013-2014, posting 18 wins amid a strong late-season run into the quarterfinal round of the VisitMyrtleBeach.com Big South Conference Basketball Tournament. The Runnin’ Bulldogs, projected to finish seventh in the 11-team race for the 2015 Big South Regular Season Championship by the league’s head coaches and media pool, finished in a three-way tie for second in the South Division last season - just two games out of first in the league’s overall standings. Riding a strong late-season run, which included a four-point win over regular season champion High Point in Paul Porter Arena, the Runnin’ Bulldogs also played in the longest game in NCAA Division I last season, falling to VMI in an epic four-overtime thriller, 108-104, on February 5. The Runnin’ Bulldogs (18-15) entered the conference tournament having won five of their last seven, and opened the tournament in style, routing Longwood, 81-65, to cruise into the quarterfinal round. Gardner-Webb’s postseason run would end there, as VMI got the best of the Runnin’ Bulldogs in an offensive affair, 90-77.
Joining Strange at point guard this season is transfer Harold McBride, Jr. (6-0, 175, Jr.), who will play his final two seasons at Gardner-Webb after an outstanding two-year career at Lake Land College in Mattoon, Illinois. McBride played in 62 games for Lake Land, making 58 starts while earning a spot on the NJCAA Division I All-America Team last season after averaging 17.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game. Incoming freshman David Efianayi (6-2, 170, Fr.) is expected to compete for minutes at both point guard and shooting guard this season following a successful prep career at Oconee High School in Orlando, Florida. Efianayi was rated as the No. 27 prospect in Florida for the 2014 recruiting class by Source Hoops after averaging 15.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game during the 2012-2013 season.
SHOOTING GUARD Senior Jarvis Davis (6-0, 180, RSr.) will be expected to fill the void left by the departed Naji Hibbert, who finished last season second on the team with 11.5 points per game after transferring from Texas A&M. Davis occupied a vital role off the bench for the Runnin’ Bulldogs a season ago, averaging 4.2 points per game in 21 games played while averaging just 10.5 minutes per appearance.
In Craft’s second year at the helm, the Runnin’ Bulldogs have their sights set on finishing the task which has been just out of reach the past two seasons – winning the VisitMyrtleBeach.com Big South Conference Tournament and punching the program’s first-ever ticket to the NCAA Tournament. Two starters return from last season’s run, and combined with a roster blessed with both talent and experience, expect to make a strong push toward Gardner-Webb’s ultimate goal of bringing a championship home to Paul Porter Arena.
POINT GUARD Perhaps no position on the 2014-2015 roster has a more promising blend of talent and experience than point guard. Senior Tyler Strange (5-10, 185, Sr.) returns to the starting role for the fourth straight season as one of the Big South’s most steady court generals with 391 assists under his belt in 78 career starts (97 games played overall). The Leominster, Massachusetts product has emerged as one of the top game managers in the nation on the offensive end while developing a reputation as a gritty defensive cornerstone last season.
Senior Tyler Strange
Strange, who featured in the starting lineup alongside BCS-caliber recruits at national powerhouse Notre Dame Prep in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, has also developed a reliable outside shot over the past two seasons, scoring in double figures 15 times in 2013-2014 while knocking down 64 shots from long range.
2014-2015 Media Guide
Senior Jarvis Davis
The former Hargrave Military (Va.) Academy standout is a dangerous spot-up shooter from outside in addition to being a lethal weapon at the charity stripe, having converted 51-of-56 attempts at the line in his previous two seasons with the Runnin’ Bulldogs after transferring from Conference USA member UCF following the 2010-2011 season. A trio of newcomers will provide a tremendous amount of depth at the position, headlined by McBride and fellow transfer Dylan Poston (6-4, 190, Jr.), who comes to Gardner-Webb as an accomplished allconference performance and lethal three-point shooter from Daytona State (Fla.) College. The versatile North Myrtle Beach product is expected to compete for minutes at both shooting guard and small forward this season alongside Efianayi. Senior Adam Sweeney (5-10, 180, Sr.) is expected to compete for playing time at the two alongside McBride, Poston and Efianayi.
SMALL FORWARD Lingering in the shadows of Hibbert and wing Donta Harper last season, Isaiah Ivey (6-2, 190, Jr.) is more than ready to step into the spotlight at the small forward position, coming off the bench last season to average 4.7 points in just 15 minutes per game while making 24 appearances. The sharpshooting Scott County (Ky.) High School product possesses outstanding range on his jumper and is eager to fulfill his promise as one of the program’s top recruits in 2012.

GARDNER-WEBB MEN’S BASKETBALL
Coaches
Competing alongside Ivey for the starting nod at small forward is transfer Adonis Burbage (6-5, 200, Jr.) who sat out last season after transferring from Central Connecticut State prior to the 2013-2014 season. Burbage will pair nicely with Ivey at the three, possessing a longer frame and a more polished interior game following a strong sophomore season at Central Connecticut, where he averaged 10.3 points per game. Poston will likely see plenty of minutes off the bench this season, possessing a versatile game that can slot in at both the shooting guard and small forward positions in Gardner-Webb’s rotation. Freshman Jonovan Watts (Durham, N.C.) is an athletic forward who can play at both small forward and power forward. He is expected to sit out this season.
Miller is expected to compete for minutes in the middle, coming to Gardner-Webb from Orlando Christian Prep after helping the team lift another state title last season despite battling a series of injuries. Fellow freshman L’Hassane Niangane (6-10, 240, Fr.) will redshirt this season, joining the Runnin’ Bulldogs from a Chalon U21 Club (Chalon, France) that posted a 27-3 record in 2012-2013.
SCHEDULE Carrying its tradition forward as a Division I competitor, GardnerWebb won’t shy away from taking the floor against some of the top teams in the nation this season – opening at LSU on Saturday, November 15 and traveling to face fellow BCS conference foes Clemson (ACC), Arizona (Pac-12) and Purdue (Big Ten), and could also face Seton Hall (Big East), Nevada (Mountain West) and Weber State (Big Sky) at the 2014 Paradise Jam in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. Add in regional Division I games against Furman (home), Jacksonville (away) and College of Charleston (away), and the Runnin’ Bulldogs will be extremely battle tested before opening Big South Conference play on the road against Presbyterian on New Years Eve.

Providing depth at the four this season will be Burbage and true sophomore Tyrell Nelson (6-7, 235, So.). Burbage’s long, athletic frame will provide Coach Craft and his staff with tremendous flexibility between the three and four, with the ability to compete inside while also possessing outstanding range from the outside.
Hensley came off the bench in nine games last season, averaging 4.3 minutes per game in a limited role at the five. Joining Nelson and Hensley in the principle rotation at center is Aholode, who joins the Runnin’ Bulldogs following a strong sophomore season at Midland (Texas) Junior College. Originally from Cotonou, Benin in West Africa, Aholode averaged 9.4 points and 5.2 rebounds per game at Midland last season. Aholode played one season at national powerhouse Huntington (W.Va.) Prep alongside this season’s top overall pick in the NBA Draft, Andrew Wiggins.
Record Book
The former Cook County (Ga.) star hit a pair of game-winning shots last season, including a clutch knockdown with less than a minute left at Radford on February 1 as part of a career-high 29-point performance.
Senior Corey Hensley (6-8, 220, Sr.) and transfer Herve Aholode (66, 235, Jr.) will combine with promising freshman Brandon Miller (6-6, 250, Fr.) to provide a tremendous amount of depth at the center position this season, with each bringing a unique skill set to the role that is sure to keep opposing bigs off balance throughout the season.

POWER FORWARD Returning to anchor the power forward position is junior Jerome Hill (6-5, 2-10, Jr.), who led the Runnin’ Bulldogs in both scoring and rebounding last season with 14.4 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. The athletic southpaw became the second Gardner-Webb player in as many seasons to earn Big South All-Conference Second Team honors after posting eight double-doubles, including two in the VisitMyrtleBeach. com Big South Tournament.

Junior Isaiah Ivey
CENTER Nelson will most certainly anchor the center position for the Runnin’ Bulldogs this season, coming off an outstanding rookie season in which he tallied two double-doubles and a pair of 20-point efforts. The 6-foot7, 235-pound sophomore enjoyed a career-best night in the quadruple overtime loss to VMI last season, posting a double-double with 24 points and a Gardner-Webb freshman record 25 rebounds.
Media
Nelson quickly became an integral part of the forward rotation last season, making four starts and averaging more than 20 minutes per game at both the four and the five as a true freshman. The former standout at nearby Metrolina Christian Academy averaged 8.9 points and 5.0 rebounds per game in 32 games last season, earning a spot on the Big South Conference All-Freshman Team while reaching doublefigures in 14 games.

GARDNER-WEBB MEN’S BASKETBALL 2013-2014: Season
in
Review
Honors Roll In
The Runnin’ Bulldogs employed one of the most balanced attacks in the country last season, with five players averaging over eight points per game, including three in double figures. Sophomore Jerome Hill led the way in both scoring and rebounding, leading Gardner-Webb with 14.4 points and 8.5 rebounds per game while pushing those averages to 16.0 points and 8.8 boards per game in league play.
Gardner-Webb made quite the run down the stretch, winning 10 of its final 14 games in Big South Conference play to clinch the fifth seed in the VisitMyrtleBeach.com Big South Conference Tournament, finishing just two games behind regular season champion High Point. The Runnin’ Bulldogs rebounded from two tough loss to open the conference slate, registering road victories over Winthrop and Presbyterian before toppling Radford in overtime on the road, 73-72, on February 1.
A trio of Runnin’ Bulldogs received recognition for their outstanding contributions last season, headlined by head coach Tim Craft, who was named as one of 10 finalists for the Joe B. Hall National Coach of the Year Award. The award, administered and presented by CollegeInsider.com, is given to the top first-year coach in NCAA Division I basketball.
The Runnin’ Bulldogs enjoyed quite a bit of success in the classroom as well, with Byron garnering the program’s second Big South Scholar Athlete of the Year honors while also earning a spot on the Big South Presidential Honor Roll. Joining Byron on the Honor Roll were Castellanos, Strange, Nelson and Adam Sweeney.
The Team Season Review
Gardner-Webb would drop into the opening round bracket with an 83-71 road loss to UNC Asheville, drawing Longwood on the first day of the Big South Tournament. The Runnin’ Bulldogs answered the call with a 16-point win over the Lancers, advancing to the quarterfinal round with an 81-65 win before falling to VMI, 9077, to end the season.
Academic Prowess
Coaches
Off the bench, Onzie Branch, Josh Castellanos, Isaiah Ivey and Jarvis Davis combined for almost 20 points per game to provide plenty of scoring punch in the second unit, while senior Mike Byron made 32 starts at center and contributed 3.1 points and 3.4 rebounds per game in the middle.
Four days later, the Runnin’ Bulldogs played in the longest Division I game last season, falling to VMI in a quadruple overtime thriller in Paul Porter Arena on February 5, 108-104. The Runnin’ Bulldogs recovered in a big way, winning five of the next six, including an 80-76 win over High Point to enter the final weekend with an outside shot at the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament.
Hill joined his coach with a nod to the Big South All-Conference Second Team, becoming the second Runnin’ Bulldog in as many seasons to earn all-conference honors, while Byron was named the Big South Scholar Athlete of the Year for his efforts both on the court and in the classroom.

Balanced Attack
Naji Hibbert and Donta Harper followed close behind at 11.5 and 10.1 points per game, while junior point guard Tyler Strange added 9.5 points per game and a team-high 163 assists at an average of 4.9 per contest. Freshman Tyrell Nelson fulfilled much of his early promise, stepping right into the front court rotation and contributing 8.9 points and 5.0 rebounds per game while knocking down 53.3 percent of his attempts from the floor.

The Big South Conference Media
For more than 30 years, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The League’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by notable accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the Conference’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics.”
2014-2015 Media Guide

Big South
In 2006-07, the Big South was the only Conference nationwide to have an at-large participant in the football playoffs (Coastal Carolina), a team in the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (Winthrop) and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Baseball Regionals (Coastal Carolina). In fact, Coastal Carolina’s baseball program has been a No. 1 seed four times -- including a national seed for the first time in 2010, while the Chanticleers’ FCS playoff berth in 2006 came in just the fifth-year of the Big South’s football existence. The 2009-10 season saw Liberty’s Sam Chelanga win two NCAA National Championships (cross country, 10,000-meter run); Coastal Carolina’s baseball team reach the Super Regionals for the second time in three years as well as being ranked No. 1 in the national RPI and as high as No.
The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25th Anniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with Liberty University’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s first 25 years. As part of the League’s 30th anniversary celebration in 2013-14, All-Decade Teams were recognized for the first time in each sport. The Conference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. For the past five years, nearly 50 percent of Conference’s student-athletes were named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a 3.0 grade-point average for the academic year, and the League has had more than 120 Academic All-Americans in its history. Furthermore, the Big South has recorded double figure totals in NCAA Public Recognition Awards for APR progress the last five years.
Record Book
Since 2000, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Conference has had an individual National Champion six times, has had more than 325 All-Americans, has reached the quarterfinals in the FCS Playoffs as well as the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball; has received national Top 25 rankings in football, men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoor track & field, and men’s golf; had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship eight times in addition to the first men’s tennis doubles at-large selection; had the first women’s golf program advance to the national finals; had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country; had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team five consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice; has received two at-large playoff berths in the Football Championship Subdivision since 2006; has had nine NFL Draft picks; and has had two institutions finish in the top 10 in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships -- including the Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event (fifth in 2007).
Several former Big South student-athletes have also reached national prominence in recent years. Coastal Carolina’s Amber Campbell made the U.S. Olympic Team in 2008 and 2012, and was one of five former Big South athletes to compete in the 2008 Games; High Point’s Tamas Kovacs qualified for the 2012 London Games; VMI’s Reggie Williams has played in the NBA since 2010, UNC Asheville’s Ty Wigginton was named an American League All-Star in 2010, and Coastal Carolina’s Dustin Johnson has won eight PGA Tour events since departing the Big South Conference in 2007. Two former Big South baseball players made their major league debuts in 2014 (Eddie Butler and Tommy LaStella), while Avery Warley became the third Big South women’s basketball player to play in the WNBA three years ago.
Season Review
Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as a distinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutional life through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add football as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, and oversaw the additions of men’s and women’s indoor track & field in 1997 and women’s lacrosse in 2013. At the same time, Kallander has solidified Conference membership with double-digit member institutions for six consecutive years. Recent additions include High Point, GardnerWebb, Presbyterian College and Longwood, plus the return of charter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its first live video streaming event in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 800 annually through a partnership with the member institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms.
In 2012-13, the Big South had 32 student-athletes earn All-America distinction, while another 12 were named Academic All-Americans. The Conference also had two football playoff teams – and two playoff wins -- for the first time, had a women’s basketball team win a postseason game for the first time since 2005, had a Leaguerecord four men’s basketball teams selected for postseason play, had two men’s soccer teams reach the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season, and had two men’s and women’s golf programs selected for NCAA Regional play. This past season produced the League’s first FCS playoff quarterfinalist, had four postseason wins in men’s basketball, had its second women’s golf team qualify for nationals, and tied the Conference-record with 13 Academic All-Americans.
The Team
In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’s third Commissioner, and in his 18 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to unprecedented new heights. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during his tenure, as he has brought television coverage to Big South women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball and women’s lacrosse for the first time in Conference history, as well as increased national television exposure to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages.
3 in the national polls; and three women’s basketball teams reached the postseason for the first time in Conference history. In 2010-11, Chelanga won two more NCAA National Championships (cross country, outdoor 5,000-meter run), the Big South had its first automatic bid recipient in football (Coastal Carolina), UNC Asheville reached the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, Coastal Carolina’s women’s golf team was the first in Conference history to advance to the NCAA Championship out of Regional play, and a League-record 18 baseball players were drafted in the 2011 MLB First-Year Player Draft. In 2011-12, the Big South had a record five individuals selected for the NCAA Men’s Golf Regionals -- the most of any Division I conference, as well as a record 42 All-Americans.
Coaches
During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths in several national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received its first automatic bid -- an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television package, featuring the Big South competing against some of the finest teams in the nation.
Gardner-Webb
On April 24, 1983, Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South and less than four months later on August 21, the Big South Conference was formed when Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop committed to the new League. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted fullfledged NCAA Division I status.
