sun Belt Conference our Story Those in the know - especially those who have followed the Sun Belt Conference for a while - knew that the 2016 season was a special one for Sun Belt football.

rated Mountain West and the Mid-American in the postseason.

“The bowl season definitely validated the regular season that we had,” Benson said, “and proved what we’ve been saying all along. The overall It’s not that the league hasn’t had its share of memorable moments. credibility of the Sun Belt has been increasing, and the media and the Since starting from scratch in the 2001 season, the Sun Belt has coupled fans that have been expecting to see positive results out of the league steady growth with scenes of the greatness that its founders sought are now seeing that.” when it added football to its core lineup. In past seasons those hopes turned into reality in many different areas. Reality, in this case, came one day after Monday’s College Football Playoff National Championship game, when the Sun Belt received affirmation of this year’s success compared to its peer conferences. The Sun Belt, which boasted several regular-season landmarks and its most successful postseason in history this year, finished the year ranked third among the “Group of Five” conferences in the 2016 final conference rankings announced Tuesday. That position, after two years of ranking fifth among the five peer conferences, gives the Sun Belt a big boost in prestige - and a big boost to the league’s wallet. “That definitely shows improvement,” said Sun Belt commissioner Karl Benson, who was in Tampa for league meetings and the CFP championship game. “Our goal is to be the highest-rated conference with the highest-rated champion, and this year we made some big steps. Finishing ahead of two of our peer conferences is a good first step.” The league did that by compiling the best record among the “Group of Five” in bowl games with a 4-2 record, one that included wins over teams from the top-rated American Athletic Conference, the second-

They saw it in a big way during the two-week bowl season that had six Sun Belt teams in action, 50 percent more than any season in the league’s 16-year history. The Sun Belt was one victory away from a win in ESPN’s “Conference Bowl Challenge” among all 10 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, and percentage-wise finished tied with the Big 12 Conference (4-2, .677) for the second spot. Among peer conferences, the Sun Belt’s 4-2 mark was better than the Mountain West, Conference USA, American and Mid-American. Wins by Arkansas State over Central Florida in the AutoNation Cure Bowl, Appalachian State over Toledo in the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, Troy over Ohio in the Dollar General Bowl and Idaho over Colorado State in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl helped the league double its previous single-season bowl victory high (two). In fact, by the end of the very first day of bowl season, Sun Belt members had already matched the previous mark for bowl wins when league co-champions Appalachian State and Arkansas State both won Dec. 17 bowl games. “Our teams stepped up this year,” Benson said. “We had the best record among our peer conferences. To go from two bowl games to five bowl tie-ins in a five-year period, for our teams to deliver like they have, and to throw television in there for the huge growth of people watching Sun Belt football, we had a banner year and it all came to a pinnacle in the bowl season.” The on-field success in the postseason also ensured success in another area -- a tangible financial windfall for the Sun Belt and its footballplaying member institutions. Revenues from the College Football Playoff are distributed to all conferences, with the “Group of Five” receiving $90 million in allotments of which $50 million is distributed evenly to the leagues, and the other $35 million is distributed to the five conferences based on regular season and post season performance. That ranking is determined by a combination of the six computer rankings that were used in the BCS era, combining to produce a collective ranking of each conference.

Troy’s Neal Brown led the Trojans to at top-25 ranking and a win in the Dollar General Bowl in just his second year at the helm of the Trojans. Troy’s 10 win season was their first since joining FBS. 3

Sun Belt Conference our Story “Improving from fifth in 2014 and 2015 to third this year provides a significant financial increase for the Sun Belt member schools,” Benson said. “We budget as if we’re going to be number five in the rankings, so finishing third will result in an increase of nearly $3 million to our members.” The finish also provides league coaches a boost in their final month of recruiting, Benson said. “This gives them some real momentum leading up to signing day,” he said. “We know we recruit against our peer conferences, especially Conference USA and the American which share our footprint. The bowl success and the end-of-the-year ranking can only help them.” Troy, whose 10-3 record tied with Appalachian State for the league’s best, became the first league school to crack the Associated Press Football Top 25 when the Trojans reached No. 25 on Nov. 14. That highlighted a season in which the Trojans had a five-win improvement over 2015 to rank among the nation’s top five. South Alabama also provided a milestone with a victory over a nationally-ranked opponent when the Jaguars topped No. 19 San Diego State 42-24 in early October. USA also had a win over a “Power Five” conference team when the Jags beat Mississippi State to open the season. Ironically, though, neither of those teams wound up with a regularseason trophy. Appalachian State and Arkansas State shared the title in the league race with 7-1 records, just ahead of both Troy and Idaho at 6-2. Those four teams also combined for 37 wins during the season. The four were among six Sun Belt teams earning postseason bowl invitations, with Louisiana earning a berth in the R L Carriers New Orleans bowl for the fifth time in six years and USA playing in the NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl in that bowl’s first year as a primary partner with the league. The New Orleans Bowl remained a Sun Belt bowl partner for the 16th straight year dating back to the league’s addition of football prior to the 2001 season. “We had meaningful discussions about both Troy and Appalachian State with our CFP committee members into November,” Benson said. “That bodes well that we had teams the CFP committee was

talking about, and obviously next year we hope to have a team in consideration for that Jan. 1 game. “We had some good wins, and we also had a lot of recognition due to us having more games on the ESPN platforms than we’ve ever had, along with some games on the American Sports Network. As ESPN3 continues to grow in popularity and usage, there are a lot of eyeballs on Sun Belt football.” Those eyeballs - along with postseason success both on-field and in the rankings -- are starting to view Sun Belt football differently. Several league athletic directors are of the thought that the conference is far from the one that was the weakest of the 10 FBS leagues for many years. “I think it’s very important,” Arkansas State athletic director Terry Mohajir told Arkansas Online, “but it’s something that I already knew. I had belief all along that the Sun Belt, unless you’re in a Power Five conference, we’re at the right place at the right time.” Benson said that possible overtures to league members from other conferences may be looked upon differently now than in the recent past. “We now have athletic directors that are declaring publicly that the Sun Belt is the right conference for their teams and programs,” he said. “That is a big statement and a significant statement, and it’s a demonstration of the growth that the Sun Belt has made.” That growth is expected to continue as the league finalizes its football transition this season. Idaho and New Mexico State’s football-only memberships end this year, and new league member Coastal Carolina will become a full-fledged football member this fall. One year later, the Sun Belt stages its first-ever championship game in 2018. “We are very excited going forward,” Benson said, “and having our championship game in 2018 will only increase what we already have going. The footprint of this league was done to ensure long-term success and sustainability, and with the membership structure we now have in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas, that footprint is set up for even more success.”

Appalachian State has won back-to-back Raycom Media Camellia Bowls and holds a 20-4 record against Sun Belt opponents since joining the league in 2014. 4

The Appalachian State Experience Appalachian State boasts a 120,000-square-foot athletics center, located adjacent to Kidd Brewer Stadium, which serves as the hub for Mountaineer athletics and its 20 varsity programs and provides studentathletes and coaches the opportunity to excel on and off the field. The Appalachian Athletics Center was the centerpiece of a $50 million athletics facilities enhancement that began in 2006. The Appalachian Athletics Center contains a 9,000-sqaure-foot athletic training facility (used by all 20 varsity sports), which houses two plunge pools, an underwater treadmill, rehab equipment, and a modality/treatment area. The Athletic Center also holds a 9,000-square-foot strength and conditioning center (used by all 20 varsity sports). App State employs 13 athletic trainers who work daily with student-athletes, three local orthopedic providers who visit daily for an injury clinic and attend all home contests. The campus also has a firstrate health center for student-athletes. Recently the Mountaineer womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball traveled to Costa Rica for a foreign tour where, the team spent time at Roblealto, a non-profit social service organization Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer and track and field standout Stanley Broaden was one of two student-athletes selected to represent the Sun Belt Conference at the 2015 NCAA Student-Athlete Leadership Forum. In total, $4,573,270.53 worth of athletic scholarships in the 2014-15 academic year were awarded to 348 student-athletes. Of that, $1,915,115 worth of athletic scholarships in the 2014-15 academic year were awarded to 85 football student-athletes. In the 2013-14 academic year alone $260,110.97 was given to 113 student-athletes from the Student Assistance Fund (SAF).

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 A-State 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. Two advisors are assigned to football, one to assigned to basketball and two are assigned to the other nine sponsored sports.

The Coastal Carolina Experience Coastal Carolina University is a comprehensive, public liberal arts institution in Conway, South Carolina. The University offers 73 major fields of study toward the baccalaureate degree, 18 master’s degree programs, two educational specialist degrees and a Ph.D. program in coastal and marine systems science across five academic colleges. A diverse population of more than 10,400 students from across the country and around the world engages with a world-class faculty, and they all enjoy an inspiring cultural calendar and a tradition of community interaction fueled by more than 160 student clubs, organizations and honor societies. Students learn, study and interact in high-quality facilities, including the HTC Student Recreation and Convocation Center, the Bryan Information Commons, and the Lib Jackson Student Union. The 19 Coastal Carolina athletic teams compete in Division I of the NCAA as members of the Sun Belt Conference. The University’s mascot is the Chanticleer, a proud, fierce and quick-thinking rooster derived from Geoffrey Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales.” The football, softball and baseball teams all compete in the new TD Sports Complex, which houses the award-winning Springs Brooks Baseball Stadium. The University comprises 115 main buildings on 633 acres, including the Coastal Science Center and the Burroughs & Chapin Center for Marine and Wetland Studies on the East Campus, and the General James Hackler Golf Course, a public 18-hole golf facility adjacent to campus. The University also offers courses and events at several satellite locations along the Carolina coast. A 1,105-acre tract, including a portion of Waties Island, provides a natural laboratory for extensive study in marine science and wetlands biology on an Atlantic coast barrier island. Coastal Carolina University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award the baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral degrees.

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 Louisiana Experience The Student-Athlete Academic Success Center at Louisiana 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 Raginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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.

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 Aggiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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 Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.
