sun Belt Conference our Story The Sun Belt Conference has been part of the collegiate athletics landscape for four decades, and in that time there may not be another conference that can match the Sun Belt’s innovation, vision and progressive thinking. This is, after all, the league that initiated basketball’s shot clock … the league that was the first to partner with a fledgling ESPN cable television entity that is now the “worldwide leader” … the league that went against the status quo and inaugurated football to start the century, the first already-existing Division I conference to ever take that step … and the league that is on the forefront of “new media” and internet-based advancement. The Sun Belt is all about being progressive – change for the better. The league’s embracing of innovations and advancements, its constant efforts to adapt in the ever-changing world of college athletics, and its continuing process of evolving to better serve its membership has been well documented since the day the conference was founded in 1976. But one thing hasn’t changed: Since that founding, the Sun Belt Conference has always been a league of opportunity. Athletic and academic programs who have shown progressive thinking and the desire to improve have always found a home in the Sun Belt. More importantly, opportunities exist for student-athletes in the Sun Belt in untold numbers. The league is not a member of the heralded “autonomous five” group of conferences, but it does share the table as part of the NCAA’s powerful 24-member Board of Directors. In other words, the conference has a voice in determining the future as college sports continues to change and
Coastal Carolina joined the Sun Belt Conference on July 1, 2016 after having won the NCAA’s College World Series the day prior. All of CCU’s teams join the Sun Belt for 2016 with the exception of football - which will begin Sun Belt play in 2018.

evolve. It is a decision-maker, along with being a trail-blazer. And opportunity is not a word that the Sun Belt takes lightly. The conference is uniquely positioned to provide opportunities for its institutions and studentathletes that the “autonomous five” leagues and schools often cannot. Last December, there were three teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) that played their first-ever bowl game. All three were members of the Sun Belt Conference – Appalachian State, Georgia Southern and Georgia State. For student-athletes, Sun Belt institutions are leaders in providing career services and the tools to assist in the pursuit of personal goals. Sun Belt members all employ full-time academic advisors and have on average more than 20 tutors for academic support. During the 2015-16 academic year, Sun Belt member institutions awarded over $50 million in scholarships to more than 3,100 student-athletes, while also providing life experiences such as team building, domestic and foreign travel, community service, mentoring, and recognition through honors and awards. Individual opportunities also extend between the lines. The Sun Belt had 40 players on active NFL rosters during the 2015 season, with representation on 23 of 32 NFL teams. Professional teams in several other sports are dotted with Sun Belt alumni. The league is an intriguing combination. It is a fixture on the national scene, involved in the conduct and competition of college athletics, but also provides chances for success on many unique and different levels. In athletic parlance, the Sun Belt has “upside,” and that makes for even more excitement as the league begins its fifth decade. Its motto, “Together We Rise,” is just as
Sun Belt Conference our Story applicable now as it was when the league was founded to give a home to some of the nation’s premier mid-major basketball programs. That very first year, one of those programs (UNC Charlotte) reached the pinnacle of NCAA men’s basketball competition with a berth in the Final Four. Since then, the league’s 40-year history is strewn with success in many different men’s and women’s sports, and that success continues to the present day. But when the desire for a higher national profile and the desire of its membership brought about football sponsorship in 2001, the conference was figuratively reborn. No league in history had ever pulled off what the Sun Belt was attempting – an established league jumping directly into Division I-A (now FBS) competition. Now, the league stands as one of the 10 premier college football leagues in the country. The Sun Belt Conference will hold its first ever football championship game as the league’s presidents and chancellors, as well as athletic directors, voted unanimously to play the game beginning in 2018. And with the College Football Playoff now an integral part of the nation’s sports fabric, the Sun Belt is guaranteed universal access based strictly on performance as the winner of the Sun Belt’s championship game can be in the national championship picture. The league is also a permanent part of the Both Appalachian State (below) and Georgia Southern (right) won postseason football bowl games in their first year of eligibility. The Eagles scored a Sun Belt bowl record 58 points in their thrashing of Ohio in the GoDaddy Bowl. The Mountaineers carried home the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl after Zach Matics nailed a 23-yard field goal on the final play to lift Appalachian State to a 31-29 victory over Ohio, capping a 17-point, fourth-quarter comeback.

sun Belt Conference our Story “Group of Five” conferences (joining the American Athletic Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Mid-American Conference and Conference USA) that sends its highest-rated champion to a “New Year’s Six” bowl game every season. The CFP has provided much excitement over the past two years, but bowl games have long been a tradition in college football and the Sun Belt has established its own bowl tradition. The league has secured ties to no fewer than five bowl games, having added three bowl games each of the last three years. In addition to the potential of the College Football Playoff, the league has guaranteed berths in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl – an honor it has held from its very first football season --, the GoDaddy Bowl in Mobile, Ala., the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl in Montgomery, Ala., the AutoNation Cure Bowl in Orlando, and the NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl in Tucson, Ariz. No football conference in NCAA history has developed that quantity of bowl partners in its first 15 years of existence. In the last four seasons, Sun Belt members have recorded 66 non-conference football wins including a record 21 wins outside the league in 2013, and league teams have won five bowl games in the last three years – two of them winning in their first-ever bowl appearance last year. The league’s success extends past football, though. When Little Rock upset fifth-seeded Purdue in the first round of last March’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, the Sun Belt became one of 12 leagues – out of 32 with automatic qualifiers – to have a team win a tournament game in each of the last two seasons (joining the ACC, AAC, A-10, Big 12, Big East, B1G, C-USA, MVC, SEC, WCC). The Sun Belt and the Pac-12 were the only leagues to have members win an NCAA Tournament game and also post wins in two other postseason tournaments in 2015, and added an NCAA win and another postseason win this past season.
The UL Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns softball team finished the season ranked inside the top-15 of both the USA Today/NFCA and ESPN.com/USA Softball poll for the fifth consecutive season while also advancing to an NCAA Super Regional for the fifth straight year.

One year earlier, Georgia State upset third-seeded Baylor in the NCAA first round, and Little Rock’s women’s squad defeated sixth-seeded Texas A&M in the NCAA women’s tournament. That same year, the Sun Belt became one of seven conferences nationwide to have back-to-back first round selections in the NBA Draft when Georgia State’s R. J. Hunter was the No. 28 overall pick by the Boston Celtics. Former UL Lafayette guard Elfrid Payton went No. 10 overall to the Orlando Magic in the 2014 draft and was a participant in the league’s All-Star Weekend the past two seasons. In the spring, baseball and softball continue to put the league in the national spotlight with deep runs into postseason play and high visibility in national polls becoming a tradition. UL Lafayette’s baseball team was the nation’s No. 1 team for the final third of the 2014 season and reached the NCAA Super Regional round in 2014 and 2015, and the UL Lafayette softball team has advanced to the Super Regional round five straight seasons including a trip to the 2014 Women’s College World Series. The Sun Belt’s commitment to academic excellence remains a hallmark, with the league and its institutions annually rewriting the Sun Belt record book for grade-point averages and academic honors. This past spring, a record-tying 14 league programs were recognized for outstanding performance in the classroom, with those teams earning NCAA Public Recognition Awards for posting APR scores in the top 10 percent of their sport nationally. It was the second straight year for the Sun Belt to have 14 programs honored, doubling the amount of the previous years. The strength of any league is in its membership, and the Sun Belt adds to its strength this year with Coastal Carolina accepting an invitation to join effective July 1, 2016. The Chanticleers begin competition in all sports with the exception of football in the 2016-17 season. CCU will be bringing the reigning national championship baseball team to the conference as the Chanticleers defeated Arizona in the College World Series final this past June. CCU will immediately challenge for Sun Belt championships in baseball, but the Chanticleers also boast a men’s soccer team that is coming off of a top-25

The CCU football program begins a transition to the FBS this year with its first year of full FBS status coming in 2018. Coastal Carolina will compete as a Sun Belt football member beginning in 2017 and will have the opportunity to compete for the conference championship, but will not be eligible for postseason play until the following year. Coastal Carolina joins Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy to give the league 10 football-playing members. Little Rock and UT Arlington compete in all sports as non-football members. That group gives the Sun Belt a mix of the “old” and the “new,” with many long-time Sun Belt institutions – South Alabama is a charter member dating back to 1976 – continuing to have success and a solid corps of conference newcomers ready to make their marks on league and national levels. The varied campuses and locations reflect another league strength – its diversity. The mix of regions
and regional cultures provide a rare opportunity for league student-athletes and staff members to experience many environments. Those same student-athletes can also experience that diversity without leaving their own campuses.

Momentum. Perhaps there is no better description for the Sun Belt Conference as Karl Benson enters his fifth year as the conference’s Commissioner. Since being named the fifth commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference on February 16, 2012, Benson has helped reinvigorate the Sun Belt with his optimism, energy and enthusiasm. Immediately after his hiring, Benson set out to change the attitude and perception of the Sun Belt – going as far as re-imagining the brand, membership, and student-athlete experience of the league that had just entered its second decade of membership in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). 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. As part 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. The CFP has provided much excitement over the past two years, but bowl games have long been a tradition in college football and the Sun Belt has established its own bowl tradition. The league has secured ties to no fewer than five bowl games, having added three bowl games each of the last three years. In addition to the potential of the College Football Playoff, the league has guaranteed berths in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl – an honor it has held from its very first football season -- the GoDaddy Bowl in Mobile, Ala., the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl in Montgomery, Ala., the AutoNation Cure Bowl in Orlando, and the NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl in Tucson, Ariz. No football conference in NCAA history has developed that quantity of bowl partners in its first 15 years of existence. Postseason opportunities will also expand further as Benson led a push for the Sun Belt Conference to hold its first ever football championship game as the league’s presidents and chancellors, as well as athletic directors, voted unanimously to play the game beginning in
2018. Football is far from the only area where Benson has been a driving force for the success of the Sun Belt, however. Upon his hiring, he immediately secured office space for the conference headquarters in the world-famous Mercedes-Benz Superdome in downtown New Orleans. Adding to the “Big Easy” flavor of the conference, he also brought the conference’s men’s and women’s basketball championships to New Orleans – and it was recently announced that the coinciding tournaments will continue to be played in the hometown of the Sun Belt through 2019. Back-to-back first round NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament wins have further helped push the Sun Belt brand to the mainstream, as has the conference’s success in the sports of softball and baseball. The conference’s baseball prowess will be even stronger as reigning NCAA National Champions Coastal Carolina officially joined the conference for all sports with the exception of football on July 1, 2016. The CCU football team will begin play in the conference in 2017 and will be fully eligible at the FBS level in 2018 when the league will be comprised of 10-football playing members and 12 total members. 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 1979-84. 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, 24, a graduate of the University of Southern California and current Sports Anchor/Reporter for WATN-TV - an ABC affiliate in Memphis.

Student-Athletes to Watch
Entering his third year as a starter, the junior has established himself as one of college football’s top signal-callers … already owns 23 career starts and ranks among Appalachian State’s all-time leaders in passing yards (ninth - 4,768 yards), completions (eighth - 351), touchdown passes (third - 48) and total offense (seventh - 5,687 yards) … ranks fourth in school history with 190.7 passing yards per game … a heady player that owns a nearly 3-to-1 touchdowns-to-interceptions ratio in his career (48 touchdown passes, 18 interceptions) … in addition to skills as a passer, can also hurt defenses as a runner … has rushed for 919 yards and nine touchdowns in just two seasons … averages 5.6 yards per carry … touted as the nation’s No. 19 quarterback by Sporting News and No. 20 by Athlon … is Athlon’s preseason first-team all-Sun Belt signal-caller … has led Appalachian State to a 17-6 record as a starter.
Marcus Cox Running Back • Senior • 5-11 • 200 Management One of the nation’s top running backs … All-America and Sun Belt Student-Athlete of the Year candidate … ranked by both Athlon and Sporting News as the nation’s No. 25 running back … first student-athlete in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons … ranks fourth in school history with 4,088 career rushing yards … enters the campaign as the nation’s second-leading active rusher (behind only San Diego State’s Donnel Pumphrey — 4,272 career yards) … needs just 716 yards to break the school record of 4,804 career rushing yards, set by Kevin Richardson from 2004-07 … based on his career average of 113.6 yards per game, Cox is on pace to break Richardson’s school record on Oct. 22 versus Idaho, which would be the seventh game of the season and 43rd game of Cox’s career — Richardson compiled his school-record 4,804 rushing yards over 56 career games … is also tied for third in school history with 43 career rushing touchdowns but would need 24 this season to break Richardson’s school record of 66.
Eric Boggs Inside Linebacker • Junior • 6-3 • 235 Physical Education An All-America and all-conference candidate … teams with senior John Law to make up one of the nation’s top inside-linebacking tandems … is the Sun Belt Conference’s top returning tackler from a season ago … has played in all 25 games of his Appalachian State career and started the last 19 … combines an ideal frame for an inside linebacker with terrific athleticism and great instincts … a three-down linebacker that excels against the run and pass, as evidenced by him ranking fifth in the Sun Belt in both tackles and interceptions a season ago from his inside linebacker position.

The Arkansas State 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 Charles Luter Family 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 in various aspects of their academic, athletic and personal lives. The center has a very active tutoring program with the goal of providing each student-athlete with the best possible assistance available. The tutorial program is designed to act as a supplement to the class itself and as a support to student-athletes. A total of five academic advisors are also available to student-athletes in order to monitor academic progress. Three advisors are assigned to football and two are assigned to the other 11 sponsored sports.

The Georgia Southern Experience The academic component of Georgia Southern’s Student-Athlete Services employs 18 tutors, five mentors and six dual role mentors/tutors. After moving to Cone Hall in 2011, the new space provides 17 study rooms to student-athletes along with 36 computers for use.
Eagles in Transition is a student-athlete specific career counseling opportunity that helps studentathletes tailor their resumes, network with alumni and businesspeople in the area, and complete mock interviews. The program began in the 2014-15 academic year. Career Month hosts workshops throughout one month to stress students’ futures and careers beyond college. Eagle Expo is a job fair available to all students to meet with potential employers. Academic Services also refers student-athletes to Career Services to help them with career aspirations and networking.
A nationally recognized program, the Georgia Southern University Concussion Research platform is dedicated to the scientific understanding of sports-related concussion and their resulting consequences. The program’s primary line of research is related to identifying and understanding the lingering deficits which appear to persist well past recovery on standard clinical testing. Recently, with the inclusion of the Helmet Impact Telemetry System, the research program has been expanded to further understanding the relationship between helmet impacts and the resultant impairments in postural control.
The Eagles Men’s Golf team competed in an international tournament in October 2014 in St. Andrews, Scotland against St. Andrews University. The match was reported to be the first collegiate golf match held on the Old Course in St. Andrews.

The Idaho Experience The Vandal Academic Support Services office is dedicated to guiding student-athletes toward graduation, through the collaboration of cross campus resources to monitor and support student-athlete academic progress and NCAA eligibility. To fulfill this mission, they focus on nurturing study and social skills, encouraging initiative, self-motivation, and accountability. Additionally, the office strives to develop positive meaningful relationships within the Vandal community and beyond, creating well-rounded, employable graduates.
The University of Idaho was recognized as the 2013-14 Excellence in Management Cup champion by the Laboratory for the Study of Intercollegiate Athletics at Texas A&M University. The award, given annually since 2008-09, honors the athletic department that best demonstrates effective spending in correlation with championships earned. Information is drawn from the NCAA Championships database and the Equity in Athletics Data Analysis. Institutions are ranked on how much they spend per championship. The University of Idaho has finished in the top 15 for three consecutive years.
Since 2005, the University of Idaho has made $40 million dollar upgrades in facilities, including total renovation of its training room and construction of a new academic lab.
Student-athletes take a class at the beginning of their eligbility where strategies are developed for setting academic, athletic and career goals, and achieving academic success. This includes study strategies, orientation to UI and life as a student-athlete while coping with NCAA and conference eligibility requirements. This course provides the basic foundation and building blocks for the NCAA Champs/Life Skills Program.

The UL Lafayette Experience The Student-Athlete Academic Success Center at UL Lafayette is committed to providing student-athletes with positive learning experiences through several academic support programs. The newly renovated space provides student-athletes and mentors a variety of spaces including: a study hall lounge, two computer labs, twelve small scale tutor rooms, two medium scale tutor rooms, and a classroom that meets the everyday academic needs of student athletes.
The center provides a free tutoring service for all student-athletes to assist them in achieving success in the classroom. Tutorial services are available each semester in most courses, particularly math, science, and English. The university employs 21 tutors, all upper-class students who have excelled in the subject area in which they are tutoring.
Beyond tutoring, the Academic Coaching Program offers intensive, one-on-one academic progress tracking and guidance to academically at-risk student-athletes, and to those who may have difficulties with time management or study skills. Through daily interaction with an Academic Coach, studentathletes receive assistance in setting objectives and goals to accomplish their coursework, while building the necessary time-management and organizational skills to empower academic success.
The Cox Communications Athletic Center is home to the administrative staff and the football coaches. Adjacent to the Cox Communications Athletic Center is the 41,426-seat Cajun Field which is home to the Ragin’ Cajuns football team. In the spring of 2008, Cajun Field received a new synthetic surface which made it one of the finest in the South.

The UL Monroe 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.

Student-Athletes to Watch
Started 10 of the 12 games he played, missing only the Idaho contest… Led the Warhawks with 709 receiving yards (11.8 per catch) while placing second in all-purpose yards (727)… Shouldered the load well with fellow receiving playmaker Rashon Ceaser missing eight games due to injury… Had 25 catches for 359 yards over a three-week span early in the season… Recorded eight grabs for 155 yards and two scores in the home opener versus Nicholls, then had nine more at eventual national champion Alabama, a career-high… A career-long 69-yard reception the following week against Georgia Southern paved the way to an eight-catch 166-yard night… Followed it up with an 11-113 showing at Tulsa… Added 98 yards on six receptions through a rainy Halloween day at UL Lafayette... Had just one kick return (Arkansas State).
Tre’ Hunter Safety • Senior • 6-0 • 188 General Studies Started and played every game except for the season finale… Led the team with three interceptions and his 55 tackles were the most for any returning Warhawk… The first one was on a second-quarter deep ball at eventual national champion Alabama, which he returned 12 yards to the midfield logo… Also had a goal-line snare in the same quarter at Idaho, which preserved ULM’s 10-6 lead and brought the ball back 26 yards… Had a career-high nine tackles in back-to-back contests (Georgia Southern, at Tulsa) before making eight in the following game against Appalachian State… Had eight stops again at Troy… Broke up two passes over his final three games.
Marcus Green Wide Receiver • Sophomore • 5-8 • 190 Undecided Rose to the occasion as his first collegiate season progressed… Missed the opener at Georgia but eventually started in eight games… Led the team with 63 receptions (698 yards, 11.1 per catch)… Also had a team-best 905 all-purpose yards and seven touchdowns… Caught six passes in back-toback games against Appalachian State and Tulsa after having just five in the team’s first five contests… Followed that pair with an eight-catch, 96-yard showing at UL Lafayette and a 12-reception, 149-yard performance at Troy, all en route to a five-game touchdown streak… Reached the end zone twice in ULM’s win over New Mexico State in the season finale… Had 12 grabs for 103 yards in the previous game at Hawaii… Hauled in five 30-plus yard catches, including a 48-yarder on his first collegiate catch (vs. Nicholls State) and a 49-yarder in the final game… Also had 10 kickoff returns for 202 yards.

The New Mexico State Experience Since the 2005-06 academic year, the New Mexico State University Athletics Department has been following a game plan not only to thrive on the field of competition but to help its student-athletes succeed in the class room. The Academic Support Programs & Services Center (ASPSC) offers a full range of support and referral services to assist student-athletes in their holistic growth and development. The goal of the program is to create an equitable, diverse environment that supports student-athlete excellence in academics and athletics while also engaging with the university community in achieving and celebrating the Aggies’ success. The ASPSC employs two full-time Academic Coordinators, Life Skills Coordinator, Lead Student Development Specialist, 10 Student Development Specialists, and three work study students who are all dedicated to helping student-athletes develop the skills necessary to become independent and successful learners. The ASPSC currently serves 475 student-athletes, with an average of 120 on a daily basis. The academic center is open 72 hours a week for student-athletes to engage in their educational pursuit through the programs and services. ASPC also instituted the A+ Aggie Program, with priority given to student-athletes who have tested into developmental courses, have a documented learning disability or who have been identified as having a marginal academic profile based on their high school or NMSU academic portfolio. New Mexico State University’s Athletic Department has established a plan in which all student-athletes are expected to complete a 15-hour credit requirement of Community Service. With this requirement in effect, Aggie student-athletes have been involved in the community more often than in previous years. During the 2014-2015 academic year all sports combined completed over 6,000 hours of community service.

The South Alabama Experience The centerpiece of South Alabama’s student-athlete support system is the 4,500 square foot Athletics Academic Support Services of Office. The facility includes staff offices, four private tutor rooms, study tables and carrels, and a computer lab with 30 computers. The Athletics Academic Services staff assists student-athletes with planning their class schedules and deciding on a degree program that will suit their needs. Six athletic academic advisors advise studentathletes along with a faculty or staff advisor from the student-athlete’s college an additional 40 to 60 tutors from a wide variety of academic disciplines are hired throughout the academic year. Monitored Study Hall is required for all freshmen, first-year transfers, student-athletes with a cumulative GPA below a 2.50, and any student-athlete who the coaching staff and/or the sport-specific athletic counselor believe would benefit from the experience. The Athletics Academic Services staff utilizes contemporary web-based technology to proactively gather in-term progress report information from University faculty members. This allows staff to monitor a student-athlete’s academic profile throughout the semester and stay abreast of situations where a student-athlete may be struggling and/or underperforming. Academic Services teaches a freshman student-athlete class that all student-athletes must take. Topics include study skills, time management, nutrition, financial management, overall health and welfare, etc. Academic Services is in the process of creating a junior-/senior-level class that will focus on career planning. Student-athletes are encouraged to take advantage of the university’s Career Services Center. Last year Athletics Academics Services held a two-session workshop covering resume, interview techniques, and business attire.

The Texas State 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-the-art 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 university was founded in 1954, but notably, the university has seen its largest period of growth in the past decade. CCU was ranked 19th among Public Master’s Institutions in enrollment growth during the 10-year period from 2002-2012 as enrollment grew by 56.1%.
Coastal Carolina University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award the baccalaureate, master’s, specialist, and doctoral degrees. The University offers 67 areas of study toward the baccalaureate degree, and nine master’s degree programs. The University began offering its first doctoral program – the Ph.D. in Marine Science: Coastal and Marine Systems Science – in Fall 2014.
CCU opened the HTC Center in August 2012 and the $35 million facility provides more than 131,000 square feet of space that is the home of Chanticleer men’s and women’s basketball, and volleyball. In football, Brooks Stadium debuted on Sept. 6, 2003 and the $8.5 million Adkins Field House that opened in June 2010 is located on the north end of the stadium. In 2015 construction was completed on a $15.2 million renovation of both the baseball and softball facilities.
During the 2014-15 season 10 of 18 CCU athletic programs made appearances in NCAA postseason competition. CCU was one of only five NCAA Division I universities to have its football, men’s soccer, men’s basketball and baseball teams qualify for NCAA postseason play in last season. Joining the Chanticleers were Louisville, Maryland, Notre Dame and UCLA.

sun Belt Conference together we rise
The Sun Belt Conference will hold its first ever football championship game as the league’s presidents and chancellors, as well as athletic directors, voted unanimously to play the game beginning in 2018. “On behalf of the Sun Belt Conference’s Presidents and Chancellors I am excited to announce that the conference will conduct its first ever football championship game following the 2018 regular season,” said Sun Belt Conference and Texas State University President Dr. Denise Trauth. “We have furthered the mission of providing the best possible experience for our student-athletes as this will truly be a first-rate experience. I am also proud to say that the Sun Belt Conference presidents and chancellors, along with the athletic directors, were 100 percent unified in this decision. The unanimous vote carries with it a great sense of community and camaraderie for all of the Sun Belt Conference.” “This is a historic moment that represents yet another step forward for the Sun Belt Conference,” said Commissioner Karl Benson. “The membership of the Sun Belt has been engaged in a significant number of advancements for the betterment of the league - to an extent this is the culmination of those efforts.” “This past year we solidified our membership with the addition of Coastal Carolina and the decision to move forward as a 10-team football league. When the NCAA Division I Council passed new rules on championship games, we knew our 10-team lineup for 2018 was going to be ready to move forward with a vote. I applaud all of the leaders of the Sun Belt membership in their unanimity on this issue.” “Sun Belt football student-athletes will make everlasting memories playing in the championship game during the upcoming years. This championship will be a first-class experience – and we look forward to it being a launching-pad for a team to reach the College Football Playoff’s ‘New Year’s Six’ bowl games.”
In 2001, the Sun Belt Conference began sponsoring football and created the inaugural New Orleans bowl in December of that year. The conference now stands as one of the 10 premier college football leagues in the country. With the recent debut of the College Football Playoff, the Sun Belt is guaranteed universal access based strictly on performance. A worthy football team in the Sun Belt can be in the national championship picture, and the league is a permanent part of the “Group of Five” conferences (joining the American Athletic Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Mid-American Conference and Conference USA) that will send its highest-rated champion to a premier January 1st bowl game. In the last three years the Sun Belt Conference has gone from having two primary bowl partnerships to five in 2016. From 2001 to 2009 the Sun Belt Conference had only one bowl partner.

The Sun Belt Conference’s “Together We Rise” motto isn’t just hyperbole. It’s proven fact on many different levels, not the least being its place in the hierarchy of collegiate athletics. As the league celebrates four decades since its founding in 1976, the Sun Belt has positioned itself to have a voice in determining the future as college sports continues to change and evolve. ≥
This is the league that initiated basketball’s shot clock … the league that was the first to partner with a fledgling ESPN cable television entity that is now the “world leader” … the league that went against the status quo and inaugurated football to start the century, the first already-existing Division I conference to ever take that step … and the league that is on the forefront of “new media” and Internet-based advancement.
≥
The Sun Belt is all about change – change for the better. The league’s embracing of innovations and advancements, its constant efforts to adapt in the ever-changing world of college athletics, and its continuing process of evolving to better serve its membership has been well documented since the very day the conference was founded.
≥
But one thing hasn’t changed. Since that founding, the Sun Belt Conference has always been a league of opportunity. Athletic and academic programs who have shown progressive thinking and the desire to improve have always found a home in the Sun Belt.

Opportunity is not a word that the Sun Belt takes lightly. The conference is uniquely positioned to provide opportunities for its student-athletes. Each Sun Belt institution has dedicated funds and resources to construct or expand modern studentathlete academic centers. This past year Sun Belt member institutions awarded over $50 million in scholarship funds to over 3,000 student-athletes while also contributing over $2 million from the Student Assistance Fund (SAF).

The Sun Belt Conference’s membership consists of 11 football members – Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Idaho, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe, New Mexico State, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy. Little Rock and UT Arlington compete in all-sports as non-football members while Idaho and New Mexico State are football only members. Coastal Carolina joined the Sun Belt Conference in all sports but football in 2016. The CCU football program will begin Sun Belt play in 2018.
