BIG SOUTH CONFERENCE
Since its founding in 1983, 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 athletic 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.” The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. 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 full-fledged NCAA Division I status. 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 – receiving 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 among some of the finest teams in the nation. In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’s third Commissioner, and in his 13 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new levels. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during the past several years, he has brought television coverage to Big South women’s basketball, baseball and softball 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. 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 has solidified Conference membership with the additions of High Point, Gardner-Webb and Presbyterian, and in 2011-12, the return of charter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its first live event video streaming in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 600 events annually through a partnership with the member institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms. In the last 15 years, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Conference has had two individual National Champions, more than 200 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in 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 four times in addition to the first men’s tennis doubles at-large selection, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country, has had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team three consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, received an atlarge playoff berth in the Football Championship Subdivision in 2006, and had an institution finish fifth in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships – the Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event. In 2006-07 alone, 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 three out of the last five years, while its FCS playoff berth in 2006 came in just the fifth-year of the Big South’s football existence. 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. The Conference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. Annually, more than 40 percent of Conference student-athletes are named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a cumulative 3.0 gradepoint average, and the League has had more than 95 Academic All-Americans in its quarter-century of existence.

GWU HEAD COACH TEE BURTON
TEE BURTON HEAD COACH 11TH SEASON
Cleveland County native Tee Burton begins his 11th season as
the head coach of both the Gardner-Webb’s men’s and women’s golf programs. The former collegiate All-American took the position at the helm of the Bulldog squads prior to the 2000-2001 season. His expertise earned immediate dividends as GWU had four top-six finishes in 11 tournaments on the men’s side and three top-five finishes in seven events on the women’s side in his first year. In 2009-10, his tenth season at the helm of the GWU golf programs, Burton saw the women’s team finish fifth and the men’s team sixth at their respective Big South Conference Championship tournaments. The women’s team had four top-10 team finishes, including a second-place finish at the 2009 Boscobel Intercollegiate. The men’s team picked up six top-10 team finishes, which included a first-place team finish at the 2009 Manor Intercollegiate in mid-September. Freshman Daniel Kim, who won the 2009 Manor Intercollegiate with an individual score of 213, -1 under par, earned a spot on the 2009-10 Big South All-Conference Team, while juniors Scott Wheeler and Courtney Meyer were both named to the Big South All-Academic Team. Wheeler was also named the 2009-10 Big South Men’s Golf Scholar-Athlete of the Year. In the 2008-09 season, the men’s team picked up seven top-10 team finishes out of nine tournaments and also went on to defeat Appalachian State in a head-to-head battle, winning its third straight University Cup. The men’s team highlighted its season with a third-place finish in the Big South Championships, its first ever appearance in the event. On the women’s side in 2008-09, the Bulldogs also had seven top-10 team finishes, including picking up the win and first-place finish at the Larry Nelson Collegiate Invitational on March 30-31 in Kennesaw, Ga. The Bulldogs finished fifth overall in its first ever Big South Conference Championship tournament, where sophomore Courtney Meyer was named to the All-Conference Team for her terrific season. The Bulldogs also faired well in the classroom in 2008-09, as senior Katie Garahan was named the 2008-09 Big South Scholar-Athlete for Women’s Golf and was also named to the All-Conference Academic Team. On the men’s side, Scott Wheeler was named to the AllConference Academic Team. The 2007-08 season featured six top-five finishes by the GWU men’s team, including a pair of first-place performances. The Bulldogs won the Poplar Hill Intercollegiate and the University Cup while holding a lead after the first day of the A-Sun Conference Championship before finishing fifth. The women’s team, which finished seventh at the conference tournament, tallied two top-five finishes on the season. The young Bulldog team won the University Cup and rookie Courtney Meyer picked up A-Sun all-freshmen team accolades. The women’s team, led by second-team all-conference performer Claudine Foong, tallied six top-five finishes during the 2006-07 season. GWU won the Battle on the Border while finishing second at the Diet Coke Wofford Intercollegiate, Mercer Cateeche Collegiate Classic and the Tina Barrett Longwood Invitational. The Bulldogs placed seventh at the A-Sun Conference Championship. The highlight of the championship for the Bulldogs came by way of Stacey Linduska’s hole-in-one during the
5
third round. The 2006-07 men’s team garnered a first-place victory at the Battle on the Border while amassing a third-place finish at the CSU Spring Kick Off Tournament. Burton’s team was fourth at the Lonnie D. Small Spring Classic and the Spring Invite at Crosswinds. The squad, led by secondteam all-conference selection Brad Palmer’s 12th-place finish at the A-Sun Conference Championship, took sixth. The 2005-06 season was one of the best in GWU’s Division I history, especially on the women’s side. As a team, the Bulldogs finished fifth or higher in four of their five spring tournaments, including a fifth-place showing at the A-Sun Championship. It marked the highest finish in the Bulldogs’ history at the conference competition. Foong took second-team all-conference honors while newcomer Katie Garahan garnered a spot on the A-Sun all-freshmen team. The men’s team was not far behind as it would post an eighth-place finish at the A-Sun Championship, four spots higher than the 2005 season. In the spring of 2005, Rory McCaughna, who won the Winthrop Waterford Invitational while leading his team to a second-place finish, headlined the Bulldogs. Later in the season, McCaughna also took second-team all-conference accolades. The women’s team picked up four top-five finishes in their spring season and would take eighth at the A-Sun Conference Championship. During the 2003-04 season, the men’s team posted a fifth-place finish at the A-Sun Championship. The men’s team won The Battle on the Border and turned in two additional top-five performances. Burton’s squad took ninth out of 22 teams at the Sea Trail Intercollegiate. The women’s team won The Battle on the Border to go along with two other top-five team finishes and an eighth-place showing at the 24-team Great Smokies Collegiate. While Burton’s squads perform well on the greens, he also places an emphasis on excelling in the classroom. Following the 2005-06 season, Foong and Garahan were named to the All-American Scholar Team, as announced by the National Golf Coaches’ Association. After the completion of the 2003-04 campaign, McCaughna and Steve McDonald were honored as two of 86 NCAA Division I men’s golfers to be named as Cleveland Golf All-American Scholars as announced by the Golf Coaches’ Association of America. During the fall of 2001, Burton guided the GWU men to the 2001 National Christian College Athletic Association national title, marking the third national championship for the program. Following the team’s victory, Burton was named the NCCAA National Coach of the Year. Those who have played for Burton can be sure that he is well aware of what it takes to win at the Division I level. During his collegiate career at North Carolina, Burton was a two-time all-Atlantic Coast Conference selection, an All-American and was honored as one of 51 golfers named to the league’s All-50th Anniversary team, joining the likes of Arnold Palmer, Davis Love III and other all-time greats. Following his collegiate career, Burton was a regular on several professional tours and competed at the PGA Tour Qualifying School on seven occasions. The former Cleveland County Amateur champion was an all-state performer at nearby Crest H.S. In his first prep match, Burton earned mention in Sports Illustrated’s Faces in the Crowd section after posting a four-hole feat of two eagles and two birdies. Still able to shoot in the low to mid-60’s on a regular basis, Burton is known as an exceptional teacher and relates tremendously well with young players. Burton and his wife Amanda reside in Shelby, N.C. The couple has a nine-year-old son, Trey, and a four year old son, Reed.

GWU PRESIDENT DR. A. FRANK BONNER
Dr. A. Frank Bonner, in his sixth year as the president of Gardner-Webb University, took office on May 2, 2005, and was inaugurated on April 6, 2006. Bonner is no stranger to Gardner-Webb, having been a part of the University family since 1987. A native of Greenville, S.C., Bonner graduated from Furman University in 1969, has a M.A. degree from the University of Georgia and earned a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was a faculty member and Associate Dean at Anderson College in Anderson, S.C., prior to beginning his career in Boiling Springs as Vice President for Academic Affairs. In 1992, Bonner was promoted to provost and senior vice president at Gardner-Webb, a post he held until assuming his current role in 2005. After a comprehensive, national search for the university’s new president, chairman of the presidential search committee and the board of trustees, Frank Beam, said, “We came to the conclusion that we had the most qualified candidate right here at the university.” Bonner succeeded Dr. Frank Campbell, who served Gardner-Webb University as president from October, 2002 until June, 2005. Active in civic life and in the community, Bonner has served on the boards of the United Way, the YMCA, and Communities in Schools, and he serves on the Cleveland County Sports Commission. He is a past chairman of the Cleveland County Chamber, a past president of the Shelby Rotary Club, and a Sunday School teacher and deacon at First Baptist Church in Shelby. Bonner is also a retired Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve. During Bonner’s time as provost, Gardner-Webb emerged as a vibrant institution for higher learning, officially moving from college to university in 1993. The institution’s academic reputation has steadily improved during Bonner’s time in Boiling Springs, with an outstanding faculty and consistently evolving curriculum. Bonner is married to the former Florence “Flossie” Black of Chester, S.C., also a graduate of Furman University. They are parents of two adult daughters and five grandchildren.

GWU ATHLETICS ADMINISTRATION
V.P. FOR ATHLETICS CHUCK BURCH Gardner-Webb alumnus Chuck Burch is in his 14th year as Vice President for Athletics and his 29th year in athletics administration. The Charlotte, N.C., native spearheaded the Bulldogs move into Division I athletics, which resulted in Gardner-Webb’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 facilities and the addition of five new sports since arriving in 1997. A sixth sport, men’s swimming was added in 2007-08. 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 two academic years. 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 Bulldogs’ student-athletes. GWU enjoyed its most successful athletics year as a Division I member in 2006-07. Gardner-Webb won its first Atlantic Sun Conference Academic Championship, unseating Belmont University for the title. The 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 faces across Cleveland County during its run to the 2006 A-Sun Championship and the 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 team, spent 19911997 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, 52, 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 currently serves as the Dean of the Graduate School as well as a professer in the Physical Education Wellness and Sports Studies Department. The couple has three children, Travis, a recent graduate of Furman University, Danielle, a junior soccer player at Brevard (N.C.) College and Amy (16).
