he 2009 season marks the 17th year for the Pioneer Football League – the nation’s only non-scholarship NCAA Football Championship Subdivision conference. The league will expand to 10 members in 2009 as Marist College begins conference play.

Valparaiso University, plus the University of San Diego (joining in 1992) – which were joined in 2001 by Davidson College, Jacksonville University and Morehead State University. Campbell University joined the PFL in 2008, its first season of intercollegiate football. In January 1991, the NCAA passed legislation to require Division I institutions to sponsor all intercollegiate sports at the Division I level. The five charter members (Evansville the fifth before dropping football in 1997), each dedicated to the enhancement and sound management of intercollegiate football as an integral part of the student-athletes’ collegiate experience, joined together to form the Pioneer Football League. From the league’s inception, it has been a proponent of the creation of a non-scholarship football classification within Division I and adopted the moniker of Pioneer based on the intent to become the first league in that new division. The PFL is comprised of NCAA Division I universities that previously sponsored intercollegiate football at other levels with the exception of Jacksonville, which started a non-scholarship program in 1998. All are currently committed to the non-scholarship football model. The PFL began play in 1993 with Dayton winning the league’s first crown. The league spent 57

its first season in 1993 under the administrative guidance of the Midwestern Collegiate Conference, and the office moved to St. Louis in 1994 when current commissioner Patty Viverito was named the PFL commissioner, a leadership position she continues to fill.
The Gridiron Classic Entering its fourth season, the Gridiron Classic matches the champions of the Pioneer Football League and Northeast Conference in an exempted postseason football contest. The inaugural Gridiron Classic took place Dec. 2, 2006 with PFL Champion San Diego traveling to NEC Champion Monmouth, San Diego posting a 27-7 victory in front of a national television audience.

program being the Phil Simms Weight Training Center. Funded by former Morehead State and NFL star quarterback Phil Simms, the center houses weight machines and free weights and is located adjacent to Jayne Stadium. The center has ample space for several teams to train at the same time. Athletes also utilize the weight center in the Academic-Athletic Center. Free weights, as well as state-of-art machines, are located in the facility.

agility and speed. Deweese and his staff make sure athletes are ready for game action with speed drills and agility training tailored to each sport. The staff also oversees off-season workouts and nutrition programs to make sure Eagle student-athletes are in shape when the season begins. MSU student-athletes have been honored for their work in the weight room. In 2008-09, women’s basketball senior and baseball senior Josh Barnes were named All-American Strength and Conditioning Athletes by the National Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association.

Athletic Mission Statement
M
orehead State University believes that Intercollegiate Athletics is an integral part of the University and that a broad-based intercollegiate athletics program encourages student participation and involvement in the
total life of the University. In addition, intercollegiate athletic programs play a positive role by supporting the academic and public service missions of the University.
• Each athletics program shall be conducted in a manner that protect the physical, mental, emotional, and social welfare of each student-athlete. • Each student-athlete, through academic counseling and individual assistance, shall be encouraged toward completion of degree requirements and graduation. • Each athletics program shall adhere to the principles of fair play and amateur competition as defined by the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Ohio Valley Conference. • Each athletics program shall be administered at the highest level that the University’s resources will allow so that each student-athlete will have the opportunity to compete to the fullest extent of his or her ability. • The athletics programs at Morehead State University shall make every effort to educate and serve the student-athletes of the University’s primary service area and their respective educational institutions. • The athletics program will accommodate student’s interests and abilities in a manner that is nondiscriminatory to both sexes and reasonable with the University’s resources. • The athletics program shall adhere to the University’s Affirmative Action Plan promoting equal opportunity for all employees and students, as well as applicants for employment and student participation.
Compliance Letter Dear Friends: Morehead State University is committed to upholding the highest integrity within all procedures and practices of the athletic department. We are pleased to publish this note as a reference to understanding often confusing NCAA regulations. The NCAA defines “representatives of athletic interests” as alumni, friends and boosters of the University. All member institutions are held accountable for their representatives’ actions. One violation could jeopardize the eligibility of any or all Eagle athletic programs. As a general rule, anyone who has financially supported Eagle Athletics, been a member of any booster organization, or who has supported Eagle Athletics is considered a “representative” of Eagle Athletics. Prospective student-athletes can be defined as a student who has started classes in the ninth grade or any younger studentathlete who has received a benefit from the institution. These individuals may only be recruited by MSU coaches who have passed the NCAA Recruiting Rules Examination. While “representatives” of Eagle Athletics may speak to any of these individuals via telephone or in person, a recruiting effort must not be made. Also, no student-athlete or prospective student-athlete may receive any extra benefit outside of the support provided by the institution. For any questions regarding this description, please contact me at 606-783-5136. These are certainly not all the regulations any “representative” of Eagle Athletics must remember. However, they provide a good outline of the types of things that could endanger the eligibility of any MSU Athletics program. Again, feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Thanks again for your support of Morehead State Athletics.
Sincerely,
Richard Fletcher Associate Director of Athletics/Compliance 79

A Vision for the Future Morehead State’s Athletic Facility Master Plan
T
hrough administrative and athletic leadership at Morehead State, a study of athletics facilities commenced in the winter of 2006 to identify a plan that would guide decisions made by MSU Athletics well into the 21st century. Heery International, acclaimed architects and facilities planners, was selected to complete the study. All potential constituent groups were consulted throughout the process. While MSU has
much to be proud of, it became quite apparent that significant work should be done to improve the athletics physical plant. The drawing you see here provides a map of what is to come. In all, over $89 million of work was identified and encompasses five new facilities and five renovated facilities. The first scheduled work will be the renovation of the University’s Wellness Center into a state-of-the-art Athletics

These artist renderings represent many of the major proposed improvements, additions and new facilities outlined in the Morehead State Athletic Facilities Master Plan. New Administration Building
The new adminstration building will be located on the south end of Jayne Stadium and will house all administrative offices, most coach’s offices and football team facilities. The building will also house soccer and cross country locker rooms and serve as the site to strength and conditioning activities and the sports medicine operation.
Indoor Practice Facility The indoor practice facility will be located on the present site of University Softball Field and will serve as a valuable practice facility for all of MSU’s teams.
Jayne Stadium
Academic Center
Jayne Stadium will be completely renovated with new grandstand seating on the home sideline as well as a new press/luxury box tower atop the home sideline grandstand. The new press tower will house a spacious press work area, the President’s Box as well as space for luxury boxes and a club seating area. Visitor locker rooms will be renovated, and the visitor sideline grandstands will be completely renovated. The road leading into Jayne Stadium will be re-routed and will serve as an entrance to the new athletic complex. The current track will be removed, and the home sideline grandstands will also be moved closer to the field, giving fans excellent sightlines and a feel of being closer to the action.
The first phase of the plan, already underway, is the expansion of the current Wellness Center to become the new Academic Center. Once completed, it will house computer labs, offices and study halls and will be a valuable asset to the academic success of Morehead State’s student-athletes.
Softball Facilities
Baseball Facilities
Tennis Facilities The current Sadler Courts will be renovated. The new facility will have 12 lighted courts and ample stadium seating for spectators. Team facilities as well as ample storage and restroom facilities will be located in the expanded Academic Center adjacent to the courts.
The Allen Field grandstand will be reconstructed and modernized, and plans are to extend the current right field “short porch” area to a more-spacious field area. A new press box will be built atop the grandstand.
A new softball stadium will be built on the Northwest side of the current Academic-Athletic Center. The facility will have home and visiting locker rooms and a spacious press box. Also planned is a softball team locker room facility as well as an artificial turf infield practice area for use by all outdoor teams. Behind the new stadium, a golf chipping and putting green is also in the plan to be constructed.
