UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI

SWIMMING AND DIVING OUTLOOK A favorite line from a head coach following a successful season is, “We don’t want to live off last year. We want to build off of it.” That’s exactly what head swimming coach Christie Shefchunas is thinking, and saying, as she returns a core group of letterwinners from last year’s 10-win season—the first since 1995-96 on the women’s side of things. Last season, the Hurricanes went 10-7, a win above the previous season where they went 9-3. Since arriving at UM, Shefchunas has turned the program around each season with wins increasing every year.The 2009-10 year is expected to be one of the best in recent years, and the UM coaching staff is excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. Entering into her fourth season at Miami, Shefchunas has the luxury of returning nine upperclassmen for the first time. She also welcomes a class of 11 newcomers that is easily believed to be the best group of recruits in her time in Coral Gables. “Having so many returners this year has really helped with leadership,” admits Shefchunas.“In years past, we only had one or two people that were willing to step up and lead this team. Now we have the entire group ready to lead this team to greatness.” Miami welcomes back two swimmers who collected NCAA “B” cut times from a year ago in

Among the newcomers UM on the year, including a school-record perfor- expected to contribute quickly are Christine Anderson (Chattanooga, Tenn.), Sofia Johansson (Ramlosa, Sweden), Hannah Kling (Miami, Fla.) and Kayla Smith (Madison,Wis.). Kling comes to UM as a highly-touted recruit from Miami’s Palmetto Senior High School where she was named as a Miami-Herald All-Dade County First Team member in her junior and senior seasons. Kayla Smith arrives after serving as a team captain and being named an All-State team member seven times at Madison Memorial High School in Madison, Wis. Johansson helped her team to a first place finish in the Swedish Junior Nationals, in addition to holding the school record in the 50 and 100 breast. Anderson was tabbed an All-American all four years of high school in the breaststroke, IM and free relays. She was also selected an All-American in the 200 medley relay. “We have a wonderful group of newcomers this year,” said Shefchunas.“Some of the top newcomers are Sofia Johansson, a top breaststroker from Sweden; Hannah Kling, a great backstroker from Miami; Christine Anderson, a great breaststroker from Tennessee; and Kayla Smith, a sprinter from Wisconsin. A lot of these ladies are very raw and have never trained like a high-level swimmer. I feel with a consistent, high-level training program, they will just get better and better. There are some great things to come.” Additionally, Roxanne Meyer (Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa), a swimmer who sat out last season for the Hurricanes, and Alicia Casillas (Merida, Spain) will be swimming for the Hurricanes. Casillas sat out last season after transferring from the University of Kansas. Shefchunas is excited about both swimmers being able to compete this year, and adds that their strength and experience in the pool will only help in the Hurricanes striving towards an ACC title in 2009-10.

SWIMMING AND DIVING OUTLOOK “Roxanne [Meyer] and Alicia [Casillas] are going to make a huge impact this year,” commented Shefchunas. “Roxy is a top backstroker and Im’er. Alicia is a top distance swimmer. Both will contribute and have great functions on this team.” The Hurricanes believe this year should be one that is special in Coral Gables.The key elements are in place, and the cupboard is full with all the ingredients to bring together a top-caliber team. Shefchunas has shown she can recruit All-America talent in the past while she was at SMU, and now she is bringing that flavor to the University of Miami. With records continuing to be set every season at UM, this year should be much of the same, if not better, for an up-and-coming program in the pool at UM. “This year is unlike any year since I’ve been here,” expressed Shefchunas. “These are all women that I've recruited, and they all have excellent attitudes and a passion to be great and to make this team great. I feel like we've taken baby steps forward to improve this program in the last three years, and this is the first year that we have everything in place to take a leap forward. From the leadership, the attitude, the passion to be great, the passion for the ‘U’, the work ethic—all things seem to be in place to do some amazing things.”

Ross was selected as last season’s ACC Championships Most Valuable Diver, and later honored as the ACC Male Diver of the Year. He will look to continue his astonishing performance from 2008-09 this season as he has added new dives to his repertoire, as well as getting stronger with rigorous of-season workouts and lengthy diving sessions. Miami diving has always been a household name among the NCAA diving community, and this year should be no different, even with just two divers— one on each side. Ableman and his staff have always been able to get the best out of their student-athletes, and having a pair of All-Americans leading the charge should provide the staff with extra incentive to look for even more national titles in the coming year. “I think with only two divers we are able to concentrate on getting the best out of each of them this season,” expressed Ableman. “Of course we would love to have more divers, but having just two is fine because we can concentrate on those two, and make sure that each is performing to the level of excellence we have grown to expect here at the University of Miami.”

H E A D C OAC H E S CHRISTIE SHEFCHUNAS Head Swimming Coach Tennessee, 1997 Fourth Season Given the responsibility of leading the University of Miami swimming program back to national prominence, Christie Shefchunas is now in her fourth year as head coach at UM, and has established the Hurricanes swimming program as a contender amongst the nation’s elite once again. She has not only brought in All-America talent, but she has directed several Hurricanes in school-record breaking performances in just three full years at the helm in Coral Gables. Hired on May 19, 2006 by then Athletic Director Paul Dee, Shefchunas’ responsibilities included redefining the Hurricanes swimming program alongside a diving program that is annually considered one of the nation’s best. Now, after three seasons, Shefchunas has done that, and much more. The recruiting class for the 2009-10 season is seen as one of the best in school history, and certainly the best since Shefchunas has been at UM. Her high level of recruiting certainly paid off as she brought in a host of All-America performers from high school, as well as three transfers that will eligible to compete for the Hurricanes on the year. “This year [2009-10] is unlike any year since I’ve been here,” expressed Shefchunas. “These are all women that I’ve recruited, and they all have excellent attitudes and a passion to be great and to make this team great. I feel like we’ve taken baby steps forward to improve this program in the last three years, and this is the first year that we have everything in place to take a leap forward.” In 2008-09, Shefchunas did something that no other UM women’s swimming coach had been able to accomplish since 1995-96—register 10 or more wins in a season. She registered a 10-7 record last year, helping the Hurricanes to an eighth place finish at the ACC Championships in College Park, Md. At the meet, Miami student-athletes recorded 19 of the season’s Top 10 times for the year. The Hurricanes also saw seven school-record times fall in the ACC meet, collecting the most school record breaking performances in one meet in more than a decade. On the season, UM posted a sweep of FIU in two meets, as well as defeating ACC foe Georgia Tech, New Orleans and Georgia Southern in a five-way meet hosted by Georgia Tech in Atlanta. UM also saw three swimmers collect NCAA “B” cut times, including two of Shefchunas’ recruits in Annika Saarnak and Dana Hatic. During the summer of 2009, Shefchunas saw her first UM swimmer compete at the FINA World Championships participant [Saarnak] in Rome. Saarnak competed for her home country of Estonia, and the rising junior performed well in her first-ever international event. “I’m so happy with the progress we’ve made over the last three years, but there is still so much more we are working on accomplishing,” admitted Shefchunas. “We have a long way to go in order to reach our goals that we have set for this program…winning ACC’s and being in the top 10 at NCAA’s.” In her first season (2006-07), Shefchunas earned wins over Western Kentucky, Tampa and local opponent Florida International twice while the Hurricanes finished with just a 4-5 overall record. She would lead the squad to a seventh place finish at the 2007 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Championships in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, followed by a19th place finish at the NCAA Championships in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Those numbers drastically changed in 2007-08 as the level of student-athlete increased, as well as the talent Shefchunas put so much effort into recruiting during the off-season. The Hurricanes finished 8-3 in dual meets, but the results at the ACC Championships was far from what Shefchunas expected. Shefchunas came to UM as a well-respected coach. She arrived from Southern Methodist University where she served as an assistant coach for the Mustangs and lead recruiter.

During her tenure at SMU, Shefchunas the Mustangs swimming program finished in the top eight at the NCAA Championships on three occasions from 2003-05, as well as earning WAC Conference (2004-05) and Conference USA (2006) Championships. While there, she assisted in the coaching and development of 22 All-America performers, 33 conference champions and 26 NCAA qualifiers. In her role as lead recruiter for SMU, Shefchunas was instrumental in bringing in 11 student-athletes that earned All-America honors while 20 went on to win conference titles. Prior to her stint at SMU, she was an assistant coach at Michigan State University in East Lansing. She served in that capacity from 2000-02 where she was in charge of the men’s and women’s sprint teams. Shefchunas also served as the Capital Area assistant coach in the summer of 2001 and ’02. Prior to MSU, she directed the Chartiers Valley Swim Club in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania for nearly two years after serving for a short time as assistant swim coach at the club. Christie Shefchunas is a 1997 graduate of the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. While swimming for the Lady Vols program, Shefchunas was tabbed as a four-time All-American while also serving as a team captain during both her junior and senior seasons. Shefchunas and her teammates still hold numerous Top 10 relay times (200 free, 400 free) for the Lady Vols. “I said it when I got here, and I will keep saying it until it happens. I’m excited to be at the ‘U’, and I know we’ll continue to improve in our efforts to be the best program in the ACC and the nation,” remarked Shefchunas. “We have a great facility, great administration and great weather that rival any program in the country.

H E A D C OAC H E S RANDY ABLEMAN Head Diving Coach 21st Season Randy Ableman is entering into his illustrious 21st season at the helm of the University of Miami diving program. Since joining the Hurricanes coaching staff in the spring of 1989, Ableman has developed the Hurricanes diving team into one of the nation's premier programs, while making his mark as one of the nation's most respected diving authorities on the collegiate and national level, respectively. Ableman is a nine-time NCAA Diving Coach of the Year, earning the national honor six (6) consecutive years from 1995-2000 and was named the Big East Conference's Men's Diving Coach of the Year in 2000, 2002 and 2003. Alongside that, he was selected as the Women's Coach of the Year four consecutive times from 2000-2003. In 2002, Ableman was honored by U.S. Diving as he was awarded the Phil Boggs Award, presented annually to honor those who have achieved individual excellence in diving and have given back a part of themselves to assure the sport's continuation and success. In now his 20 seasons at the University of Miami, Ableman has coached 12 National Champions to a NCAA-record 23 individual national titles, including four-time NCAA Champions Dean Panaro, Rio Ramirez and Tyce Routson. Recently added to his list of national awardees are Brittany Viola and Reuben Ross who each collected individual titles in 2008. From 1991-2002, in one of the most impressive streaks in NCAA diving history, the Miami men's and women's diving teams combined for 20 individual NCAA Championships. During which time, the Hurricanes won at least one national title for 12 consecutive seasons, naming at least two NCAA Champions in six seasons. Miami swept the field at the 1997 Men's NCAA Championship, winning the 1-meter springboard, 3-meter springboard and 10-meter platform and in 1996 the Hurricanes placed first, second and third in both the 3-meter springboard and 10-meter platform.Ableman led the Hurricanes to another NCAA record in 1996 with the trio of Tyce Routson, Brian Gillooly and Chris Mantilla becoming the first freshman in NCAA history to sweep the 10-meter platform at the NCAA Championships. Under Ableman's guidance, 24 Hurricanes have garnered All-America honors with at least one (1) UM diver earning All-America status every year since 1989. In 1995, the Hurricanes became the first school in NCAA history to have five divers - Jose Gil, Brian Ramos, Chris Mantilla, Brian Gillooly and Tyce Routson earn All-America honors in the same year. Needless to say, national title holders Viola and Ross were added to the long list of All-Americans coached under Ableman in 2008. Hurricane divers have also excelled on the Olympic level during Ableman's tenure, with a total of 11 divers, representing seven different countries, competing at the Olympic Games since 1992, including U.S. Diving Team member and former Hurricane Kyle Prandi. In 2004,Ableman made his third trip to the Olympic Games as a member of the U.S. Olympic Diving Team coaching staff. He also served on the 1996 and 2000 Olympic teams and in the summer of 2003,Ableman served as the U.S. Pan Am Games head coach. But, more recently,Ableman served as head coach of the diving team for the Republic of South Africa and coached two more Hurricanes in Summer Olympic Games. Current diver Jenna Dreyer (South Africa) made her second trip to the Olympic Games to represent her home country under the guidance of Ableman in 2008 in Beijing, China. Also participating for the Hurricanes as a member of a national team was Dreyer's teammate Reuben Ross--representing his home country of Canada.

Administration In 2007, U.S. President George W. Bush called upon her healthcare expertise to co-chair the Commission on Care for Returning Wounded Warriors, to evaluate how wounded service members transition from active duty to civilian society. In June 2008, President Bush presented her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award, at a ceremony in the White House. The medal recognizes exceptional meritorious service to individuals who have contributed to national security, world peace, or cultural endeavors. As leader of the University of Miami, President Shalala presides over one of the most successful college athletic programs in the country. The Hurricanes football program has consistently ranked in the top of the polls. In 2001, the baseball team won its fourth College World Series and the football team won its fifth national championship. In 2003, the men and women’s basketball teams began playing in a new, on-campus facility, the BankUnited Center. Other Hurricanes sports, from tennis to track, have also earned national recognition. UM celebrated the opening of the newly renovated Mark Light Stadium at Alex Rodriguez Park and a new basketball training and practice complex in 2009.

PRESIDENT DONNA E. SHALALA Donna E. Shalala became the fifth President of the University of Miami on June 1, 2001. President Shalala is an accomplished scholar, teacher, and administrator whose career has been marked by a variety of leadership positions reflecting her interest in young people. While attending college, she played tennis and still plays a competitive game of doubles. She also enjoys golf, skiing, and other outdoor activities.

President Shalala and mom Edna Shalala.

The Black Coaches Association honored her with its Image of Excellence Award for 2007.

Recognizing that first-rate facilities are a key part of achieving success on the field, last year Hurricanes football embarked in an exciting new chapter with the move to Land Shark Stadium. This state-of-the-art complex offers both players and fans world-class amenities that are unparalleled in college sports. In 1987 President Shalala, a distinguished political scientist, became chancellor of a Big Ten university, the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She led what was then the nation’s largest public research university. In 1992, Business Week magazine named her one of the top five managers in higher education, and in 2005 was named one of “America’s Best Leaders” by U.S. News & World Report and the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. President Shalala’s success at Wisconsin was reflected in athletics as well. She hired a new football coach, recruiting Barry Alvarez from Notre Dame. Four years later, Wisconsin won the Big Ten football championship and represented its conference in the Rose Bowl for the first time in 30 years. President Shalala served on the first Knight Commission, a committee to review college athletics, and has served on the board of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Foundation. In May 2008, she was selected as an Independent Director of the U.S. Soccer Federation. In 1993, she was named U.S. Secretary for Health and Human Services (HHS) and served for eight years, becoming the nation’s longest-serving HHS Secretary. In 2000, she led the official U.S. delegation to the Olympics in Sydney, Australia. At the end of her tenure as HHS Secretary, The Washington Post described her as “one of the most successful government managers of modern times.”

As to her commitment to UM athletics, President Shalala said, “College sports are a vital part of our students’ experience while at the University. They also help build community and instill a great sense of pride in our athletes and their accomplishments. The young men and women who play Hurricanes sports are devoted to their game both on a personal and team level, and it shows in their inspired performances time after time. Now it’s up to the fans to show their support and cheer them on to many more victories.” For a sports fan like President Shalala, there is no better place to call home than the University of Miami.

Administration Hocutt and Randy Shannon at the Orange Bowl Committee’s 7th Annual Blue Cross Blue Shield Benefit.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS KIRBY HOCUTT

Oklahoma’s annual giving increased from $3.4 million to more than $17 million. That 400 percent increase in annual giving was one of the highest percentage increases in intercollegiate athletics history.

Kirby Hocutt is in his second year as the Director of Athletics at the University of Miami. Introduced as UM’s Director of Athletics on Feb. 8, 2008, Hocutt began his tenure as the university’s 11th Director of Athletics on June 1, 2008. Hocutt and former UM football player and radio color analyst Don Bailey Jr. at the Orange Bowl Committee’s Benefit.

Hocutt addressing the media at his Feb 8, 2008 press conference.

Hocutt, 37, came to Miami after serving as the athletic director at Ohio University since 2005. Prior to that, he spent six years at the University of Oklahoma serving as associate athletic director for external operations and sports administration. In his first year in Coral Gables, Hocutt established a master plan for major facilities improvements in addition to initiating the development of a strategic plan for the University of Miami athletic department. He oversaw a number of facility improvements in his initial year, including the construction of a basketball practice facility, as well as upgrades to Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field, the Neil Schiff Tennis Center and Cobb Stadium. For the first time in nine years, a new Ring of Honor class was inducted under Hocutt’s direction, as Edgerrin James, Jim Kelly, Cortez Kennedy, Jim Otto and Gino Torretta were added to the prestigious class of UM football greats. Two UM head coaches – Paige Yaroshuk-Tews (Women’s Tennis) and Nicole Lantagne Welch (Volleyball) – earned Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year honors in Hocutt’s first year at Miami, while UM student-athletes earned 15 All-America honors during the 2008-09 season. The women’s tennis team also became the first women’s program at UM to win an ACC title, claiming the regular season championship after going 25-4 overall and 10-1 in league play. A former star linebacker at Kansas State, Hocutt has a total of 18 years experience in intercollegiate athletics, including five as a student-athlete. At Ohio, Hocutt significantly reorganized the athletic department’s annual giving program. His leadership led to an increase in fundraising by more than 75 percent - including the securing of the second-largest major gift in school athletics history. He also increased season ticket sales in football by 112 percent and in men’s basketball by 50 percent.

Beginning in 1999, Hocutt served in a leadership position in the strategic planning for a $100 million capital campaign. The $120 million campaign was unique in that it focused on facility construction or improvements for each of Oklahoma’s 20 sports. Prior to joining the Oklahoma staff, Hocutt served as the assistant director of licensing at the NCAA. In that position, he worked with corporate partners and licensees to create new revenue producing initiatives to support and promote all 81 NCAA championships. He began his career in sports administration as the assistant director of marketing and promotions at Kansas State University. While at Kansas State, he implemented revenue-producing activities for the athletics department, including corporate partner sponsorships and ticket sales. Hocutt was a four-year letterman at linebacker at KSU, leading the Big 8 Conference in tackles and earning All-Big 8 Conference team honors as a junior. In 1993, The Sporting News selected him as one of the top 20 underrated players in the nation. Hocutt also served as a team captain his senior season. Two of Hocutt’s coaches at Kansas State were Bob Stoops, head football coach at Oklahoma and Jim Leavitt, the head football coach at USF.

In his three years at Ohio, the school won 11 team championships and four head coaches were recognized as conference Coaches of the Year. In 2006, the football team played in its first bowl game in 38 years.

A member of the Orange Bowl Committee, Hocutt was also named to the Miami-Dade Sports Commission Board of Directors on Oct. 1, 2008.

At Oklahoma, Hocutt was the primary administrator for football and the sport supervisor for baseball, men’s and women’s golf, and men’s and women’s tennis. His duties included supervision of He earned his bachBrooks, Diane, Drew and Kirby Hocutt the athletics development office, athletics ticket elor’s degree from office, special events, stadium suite program, athKansas State letics endowment program, letter winners associaUniversity in 1995 tion and the department’s facility use and rental program. and his master’s of education degree from the University of Oklahoma in 2001.

THIS IS MIAMI FOOTBALL

City of Miami WHERE THE HEAT IS ON

MIAMI HOT SPOTS For shopping, dancing or just plain people watching, Miami offers several places to see and be seen.

“Welcome to Miami... bienvenidos a Miami.” With 84 miles of Atlantic coastline, yearlong sunshine and a boasted average daily temperature of 75 degrees, it is no wonder in his hit single, Will Smith dubbed Miami “the city where the heat is on.”

With over 800 buildings designed in the ‘30s and ‘40s, South Beach serves as the largest collection of Art Deco architecture in the world. Celebrity-owned restaurants, like Cameron Diaz’s Bambu, night clubs such as Level—based on the format of New York’s Studio 54, and a medley of huge anchor stores and unique boutiques create the flavor of miami’s most famous hot spot.

THE HEAT ON THE COURT Thanks to South Florida’s year-round, sports-friendly climate, Miami has a lot to offer in outdoor recreational activities. From some of the PGA’s finest golf courses to almost 700 parks, there is something for everyone. With countless opportunities for kayaking, scuba-diving, fishing, beach volleyball and rollerblading, there is no excuse for going without a tan. South Florida truly has the perfect weather for sports and is one of only eight metropolitan areas in the United States that can boast of a professional franchise in each of the four major sports. The Major League’s Florida Marlins had everybody “doing the fish” when they won the World Series in 1997 and 2003. The NFL’s Miami Dolphins have thrilled fans for decades at Dolphin Stadium, which hosted the Super Bowl in 1995, 1999 and 2007. Despite the warm weather, South Florida’s own hockey team, the Florida Panthers, keep up on the ice. And for basketball fans, the 2006 NBA Champion Miami Heat keep things hot at the American Airlines Arena. MIAMI IS CALIENTE Truly a melting pot, Miami is home to a variety of cultures, creating a totally unique, vibrant cultural mosaic. With representatives of every Hispanic nation in the world, Spanish serves as a second language to most of Miami’s residents. Little Havana is the heart of Miami’s Cuban community, where churro vendors line the streets, the aroma of high-octane cafe Cubano fills the air and the spirit of friendly competition fills Domino Park.

Coconut Grove, just a 10-minute drive from the University of Miami, is another student favorite. Built mainly by West Indian craftsmen brought in from the Bahamas, it still holds onto the Caribbean appeal its name suggests. Attracting writers, artists and non-conformists, this hub of the bohemian arts contributed to Miami’s cultural renaissance. Fast-forward a century and the Grove is still one of Miami’s hottest nightspots, with more than 75 cafes, restaurants and clubs that line the streets. THE WARMTH OF CORAL GABLES, THE “CITY BEAUTIFUL” The University of Miami campus is located in Coral Gables, dubbed the “City Beautiful”. Founded by George Merrick almost a century ago, the Gables is one of Miami’s most beautiful areas. The palm-lined streets are all named after European villages, each one bordered by Old Spanish style homes. Downtown Coral Gables is bustling with the many offices of multi-national corporations, while the city’s central boulevard— Miracle Mile—is home to a wide array of designer boutiques and art galleries. One Gables favorite is the Venetian Pool, a beautiful swimming lagoon carved out of coral, which features cascading waterfalls and underwater caves.

The spirit of the Caribbean is alive in Little Haiti, where many Haitian artists, musicians and entrepreneurs get their start in Miami. The proud focal point of this neighborhood is the Caribbean Market, an open-air replica of Port-au-Prince’s Iron Market, where Creole is the dominant language. SIZZLING THE SILVER SCREEN With tropical weather, a high-quality labor pool, low production costs and direct links to Latin America, Miami has become one of the most important entertainment centers in the world. Dubbed as the Latin-American Hollywood by the New York Times, such blockbusters as Big Trouble—written by Miami Herald columnist Dave Barry, Any Given Sunday, There’s Something About Mary, The Birdcage and Wild Things were all filmed in Miami. A Hollywood favorite off-screen as well, Miami is home to dozens of celebrities and even more consider it a favorite weekend getaway. Glorida and Emilio Estefan’s Star Island estate and Gianni Versace’s Ocean Drive mansion-turned-museum are just a couple examples of Miami’s celebrity appeal. It is not uncommon to spot Sean “Diddy” Combs or Jamie Foxx dancing at a South Beach club or former president Bill Clinton playing golf at the Biltmore Hotel.

Compliance FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE (PROSPECT)? You are a prospect if you have started classes for the ninth grade. Before the ninth grade, you may become a prospect if a university provides you (or your family or friends) any financial aid or other benefit that is not usually provided to prospective student-athletes. YOU ARE NO LONGER A PROSPECT IF YOU HAVE DONE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: (1) Officially register and enroll in a minimum full-time program of studies and have attended classes in any four-year collegiate institution’s regular academic year (excluding summer); or (2) Participated in a regular squad practice or competition at a four-year collegiate institution that occurs before the beginning of any term; or (3) Officially register and enrolled and attend classes during the summer prior to initial enrollment and receive institutional athletics aid. HOW DO I KNOW IF I’M BEING RECRUITED? A coach is recruiting you if they try to convince you directly, or through your family, to attend their school and participate in intercollegiate athletics. There are several ways to be recruited: (1) a coach may provide you with an official paid visit to view the campus, (2) a coach may arrange an in-person, off-campus meeting with you (or your family), or (3) a coach or staff member may call you (or your family) on more than one occasion for the purpose of recruitment. Coaches and authorized institutional staff members are the only individuals who may recruit you. Representatives of athletic interests (boosters) may not call, write or make in-person contact with you anywhere for the purpose of recruiting you to a university and participating in athletics. WHEN CAN A COACH CONTACT ME? OFF CAMPUS CONTACT In the sport of basketball, a coach can arrange a face-to-face meeting with you, off the University’s campus, beginning the first day of classes of your senior year. In all other sports, a coach can arrange a face-to-face meeting with you, off the University’s campus, beginning July 1 after your junior year. TELEPHONE CALLS In all sports other than football and basketball, a coach may call a prospect one time per week after July 1 following the completion of the prospect’s junior year in high school. In the sport of football, a coach may initiate one telephone call to a prospect between April 15th and May 31st of the prospect’s junior year. Additional calls are not permitted prior to September 1st of the beginning of the prospect’s senior year in high school. In the sport of men’s basketball, coaches may make one telephone call per month from June 15 of the prospect’s sophomore year through July 31 of the junior year. Beginning August 1 of the senior year a coach may make two telephone calls per week. Only one call per week may be made to a two-year or four-year college prospect. In the sport of women’s basketball, coaches may make one telephone call per month during the months of April (on or after the Thursday after the conclusion of the NCAA Division I Final Four) and May of the prospect’s junior year in high school, one telephone call between June 1 and June 20 and one telephone call between June 21 and June 30 of the prospect’s junior year in high school. Three telephone calls to a prospect are permitted during the month of July, with no more than one call per week. In the following circumstances unlimited calls to a prospect are permitted: (1) during the five days immediately preceding an official visit to the University of Miami, (2) on the initial date for signing the National Letter of Intent and the two days following the signing date, and (3) on the day of a coach’s off-campus contact with a prospect For all sports, coaches may receive telephone calls placed by a prospect at the prospect’s expense at anytime, including before July 1 following the prospect’s junior year in high school. LETTERS In sports other than men’s basketball, letters and recruiting information may be sent to you starting September 1 at the beginning of your junior year in high school. In men’s basketball, recruiting materials may be provided starting June 15 at the conclusion of the prospect’s sophomore year.

WHAT IS A CONTACT? A contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospect or the prospect’s parent(s) or legal guardian and an institutional staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs in excess of an exchange of a greeting. NOTE: At the Division I level, athletic representatives (boosters) may not contact you for the purpose of recruiting. WHAT CAN A SCHOOL OFFER ME TO ATTEND THEIR UNIVERSITY? You (or your family) may not receive any benefit, inducement or arrangements such as cash, clothing, cars, gifts or loans to encourage you to sign a National Letter of Intent or to attend a NCAA school. A University may offer you a one-year scholarship that covers room and board, tuition and fees, and required course-related books, or any part of these. The institution can recommend that this aid is renewed each year, as is the general practice at the University of Miami but this renewal is not guaranteed. In addition, they can offer you quality academic and medical support, as well as the opportunity to compete for one of the nation’s top programs. WHAT CAN I DO DURING THIS PROCESS? Enjoy your high school years and work hard both in the classroom and in your sport. At the beginning of your junior year you should sign up for the NCAA Clearinghouse. Your high school guidance office can provide you with the information to register. A DIVISION I INSTITUTION MAY PROVIDE A RECRUIT WITH THE FOLLOWING PRINTED MATERIALS: • General correspondence, including letters, U.S. Postal Service postcards and institutional note cards; • Game programs, which may not include posters, and one Student-Athlete Handbook; • NCAA educational information; • Pre-enrollment information subsequent to signing a National Letter of Intent with the university; • One athletic publication (e.g., media guide or recruiting brochure); • Official academic, admissions and student services publications published or videos produced by the institution and available to all students; • Schedule and business cards; • Questionnaires which may be provided prior to your junior year; and Camp brochures which may be provided prior to your junior year.

ACC Tradition of Excellence The Tradition Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. However, in today’s intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high JOHN D. level of consistency. SWOFFORD Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference ACC has defied the odds. Now, in its 57th Commisioner year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it. Since the league’s inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 114 national championships, including 60 in women’s competition and 54 in men’s. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC studentathletes 257 times. The year 1980 marked the inception of volleyball in the ACC and conference play began in 1981. Now entering its 29th season of play, the league has seen its member institutions enjoy great success from both academic and athletic perspectives. Duke University’s Rachael Moss headed a list of 10 volleyball student-athletes who earned ESPN The Magazine Academic honors. A second-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American®, Moss was joined by the University of Virginia’s Lauren Dickson as a first-team Academic All-District III, and eight more who garnered second- or third-team All-District III accolades. Clemson University’s Danielle Hepburn was the only ACC student-athlete to receive All-America status with a third-team selection by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. Nine more took Honorable Mention accolades in addition to All-East Region honors. The University of Miami highlighted the AVCA East Region as Lane Carico was selected as the East Region Freshman of the Year and seventh-year head coach Nicole Lantagne was picked as the East Region Coach of the Year. The ACC again proved to be the nation’s premier athletic conference both academically and athletically. 2008-09 in Review The 2008-09 academic year saw league teams capture five national team titles and 20 individual NCAA crowns. In all, the ACC has won 47 national team titles over the last 13 years and has won two or more NCAA titles in 27 of the past 29 years. A total of 128 ACC teams placed in NCAA postseason competition in 2008-09. League teams compiled a 139-84-1 (.623) mark against opponents in NCAA championship competition. In addition, the ACC had 198 student-athletes earn first team All-America honors this past year. Overall, the league had 266 first-, second-, or third-team All-Americans and the ACC produced nine national Players of the Year and five national Coach of the Year honorees. A total of 88 teams finished their respective seasons ranked in the Top-25 poll, including 33 teams ranked in the Top 10 and six teams that held the nation’s top spot.

The first ACC championship was held in swimming on February 25, 1954. The conference did not conduct championships in cross country, wrestling or tennis during the first year. The 12 sports for men include football, cross country, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, baseball, tennis, golf and lacrosse. Fencing, which was started in 1971, was discontinued in 1981. Women’s sports were initiated in 1977 with the first championship meet held in tennis at Wake Forest University. Championships for women are currently conducted in cross country, field hockey, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, golf, lacrosse, softball and rowing with volleyball deciding its champion by regular season play. A History The Atlantic Coast Conference was founded on May 8, 1953, at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro, N.C., with seven charter members - Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest - drawing up the conference by-laws. The withdrawal of seven schools from the Southern Conference came early on the morning of May 8, 1953, during the Southern Conference’s annual spring meeting. On June 14, 1953, the seven members met in Raleigh, N.C., where a set of bylaws was adopted and the name became officially the Atlantic Coast Conference. Suggestions from fans for the name of the new conference appeared in the region’s newspapers prior to the meeting in Raleigh. Some of the names suggested were: Dixie, Mid South, Mid Atlantic, East Coast, Seaboard, Colonial, Tobacco, Blue-Gray, Piedmont, Southern Seven and the Shoreline. Duke’s Eddie Cameron recommended that the name of the conference be the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the motion was passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with each member institution assessed $200.00 to pay for conference expenses. On December 4, 1953, conference officials met again at Sedgefield and officially admitted the University of Virginia as the league’s eighth member. The first, and only, withdrawal of a school from the ACC came on June 30, 1971, when the University of South Carolina tendered its resignation.The ACC operated with seven members until April 3, 1978, when the Georgia Institute of Technology was admitted. The Atlanta school had withdrawn from the Southeastern Conference in January of 1964. The ACC expanded to nine members on July 1, 1991, with the addition of Florida State University. The conference expanded to 11 members on July 1, 2004, with the addition of the University of Miami and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. On October 17, 2003, Boston College accepted an invitation to become the league’s 12th member starting July 1, 2005.
