LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONER
THE ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE continues to experience a great deal of success in both the academic and athletic ledgers. Collectively, the 12 member institutions have reached new milestones, once again confirming the ACC’s Tradition of Excellence. In 2008-09, the league captured five NCAA Team Titles, including Maryland in field hockey and men’s soccer, North Carolina in women’s soccer and men’s basketball, and Duke in women’s tennis. ACC student-athletes earned 17 NCAA Individual Titles during the year and 128 ACC teams earned berths in NCAA post-season competition. A total of 265 studentathletes earned first, second or third team All-America honors, including 199 first-team selections. The ACC also had eight National Players of the Year and five National Coach of the Year recipients in 2008-09. Away from the playing field our league made great strides with a record number of student-athletes being named to the ACC’s Academic Honor Roll by earning a 3.0 grade point average or better for the entire academic year. The 2008-09 ACC Honor Roll listed over 2,700 student-athletes. In football, Virginia Tech claimed its third ACC Football Title in five years with a win over Boston College in the ACC Football Championship Game. The Hokies went on to win the FedEx Orange Bowl and were one of an NCAA-record 10 ACC teams to play in a postseason bowl game. Turning attention to basketball, the league’s men’s programs were the top-ranked conference according to the RPI as well as recording another consensus AllAmerica, giving the ACC at least one in 18 of the last 19 years. ACC Women’s Basketball set a new four-day attendance mark with a record 73,187 fans attending the ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament and sent eight teams to postseason competition, including six to the NCAA Tournament for the seventh consecutive year. The ACC and its member institutions have a tremendous tradition of academic and athletic balance and success. As a conference we are extremely excited to reflect on last year’s success while preparing for the upcoming year ahead. Sincerely,
John D. Swofford Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner

08/09 ACC ANNUAL REPORT 3
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 level of consistency. Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now in its 57th 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 student-athletes 154 times in men’s competition and 100 times in women’s action.

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.
ACC MEMBERSHIP CHRONOLOGY May 8, 1953 ACC formed with Clemson College, Duke University, University of Maryland, University of North Carolina, North Carolina State College, South Carolina and Wake Forest College as charter members.

NCAA MEN’S SOCCER CHAMPIONS MARYLAND
Maryland defeated ACC foe North Carolina, 1-0, off a game-winner from senior Graham Zusi to capture the 2008 NCAA National Championship at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas. From the onset, it appeared quite obvious that this was the third match-up between the two teams in the 2008 season. North Carolina and Maryland players nearly shadowed each other for the majority of the first half, neither allowing much space to operate. The title marked the third for the Maryland men’s soccer program, the 13th for an ACC men’s soccer program and the second in the past four seasons for the Terrapins. Head coach Sasho Cirovski now boasts two national 8

championships. North Carolina took the first shot and corner kick of the match as well as tallying more scoring opportunities in the first 20 minutes than Maryland faced the entire semifinal against St. John’s. But Maryland caught momentum midway through the first period when the Terps had a pair of opportune corner kicks in the 23rd minute. The Terps continued firing, picking up a total of seven shots in the first stanza. Maryland kept applying pressure up front as well and finally got on the board at 66:10. Doug Rodkey crossed a ball to Jeremy Hall in the middle of the field. Hall’s shot was blocked but the rebound beneficially made its way to
Graham Zusi 18-yards out. Zusi wasted little time, took it off the bounce and fired a laser to the keeper’s right for the score. Freshman keeper Zac MacMath, who showed the maturity of a veteran between the pipes, would take it from there, making a great sliding save against a shot by UNC’s Michael Callahan with less than 10 minutes remaining to preserve the lead and the championship for Maryland. It was the 19th consecutive win for the rookie keeper. Zusi was named Most Outstanding Offensive Player of the NCAA Tournament, while junior Omar Gonzalez was named Most Outstanding Defensive Player. In addition to Zusi and Gonzalez, Maryland teammates AJ
Delagarza, Jason Herrick, Rich Constanzo, North Carolina’s Zach Loyd, Brooks Haggerty, Brian Shriver, Billy Schuler, and Wake Forest’s Corben Bone were named to the all-tournament team.
NCAA WOMEN’S SOCCER CHAMPIONS NORTH CAROLINA The fourth-ranked Tar Heels (25-1-2) defeated top-ranked and previously unbeaten Norte Dame 2-1 in the 2008 Women’s College Cup title game at WakeMed Soccer Park. All-America junior forward Casey Nogueira, the 2008 MAC Hermann Trophy finalist and Honda Award winner, scored her second goal of the second half with 2:06 remaining to provide UNC with its winning margin. ACC teams posted a collective 17-7 record in NCAA Tournament competition and saw three teams – North Carolina, Florida State and Duke – reach the quarterfinals (final eight). The 17 NCAA Tournament wins also led all conferences. Two of the ACC’s postseason losses came in NCAA Tournament matchups between league teams. Florida State defeated Boston College in the Round of 16, and Duke defeated Virginia. For the season, ACC teams posted an 84-24-6 record (.763) against non-conference opposition. Sixty-four of those wins were shutout victories. North Carolina owns an all-time record of 100-7-1 in NCAA Tournament competition. ACC member schools are a collective 203-107-22, National recognition poured in for ACC schools in 2008, as six teams capped off the season ranked among the top 25 in three major polls (Soccer America, Soccer Buzz and NSCAA).

In one way, North Carolina’s second NCAA men’s basketball title under Coach Roy Williams followed the same blueprint as the first in 2005. After suffering a loss in the ACC Tournament semifinals, the Tar Heels regrouped to post six straight wins and bring the national championship back to Chapel Hill. Unlike 2005, however, this year’s UNC team didn’t encounter much in the way of close calls. The Tar Heels (344) won six NCAA Tournament games by an average margin of 21.1 points. UNC trailed a total of 2:01 in its two Final Four games and just 10:02 the entire NCAA Tournament. Top-seeded UNC began its title quest close to home in
Greensboro, N.C., where it downed No. 16 Radford 10158 and outlasted eighthseeded LSU 84-70. That placed the Tar Heels in the “Sweet 16” for the third straight year, and they responded with a 98-77 win over No. 4 Gonzaga and a 7260 win over second-seeded Oklahoma. The Final Four at Detroit’s Ford Field saw UNC defeat Villanova, a No. 3 seed from its region, by an 83-69 score before handling secondseeded Michigan State, 89-72, in the title game. While junior guard Wayne Ellington averaged 19.5 points per game while going 8-of-10 from 3-point range en route to Most Outstanding Player honors, two other Tar Heels
hit milestones. Junior point guard Ty Lawson had eight steals against Michigan State and hit 25 free throws in two Final Four games – both new records. Senior Tyler Hansbrough finished with 325 career points in NCAA Tournament play, the most by a Tar Heel and the fourthmost in NCAA history. Hansbrough finished with 2,872 career points overall, most ever by an ACC player and 12th in NCAA history. This year’s NCAA Tournament berth was UNC’s sixth straight and its 33rd in 35 years. The Tar Heels reached the Final Four for the 18th time.
NCAA WOMEN’S TENNIS CHAMPIONS / DUKE Duke University seniors Melissa Mang and Jessi Robinson earned singles victories within minutes of each other to lead the Blue Devils to a 4-0 sweep of No. 8 California in the NCAA Women’s Tennis National Championship match at College Station, Texas, on May 19. Duke captured its first national title in women’s tennis and 10th overall national trophy in school history. Sophomore Reka Zsilinszka was selected as the NCAA Tournament Most Valuable Player. Junior Amanda Granson and Mang joined her on the all-tournament team at the No. 4 and No. 5 singles spots. Duke turned in its 18th consecutive win and 29th victory of the season in the title match to close out a memorable NCAA Tournament run. The third-seeded Blue Devils’ 29 wins are the second most in program history, while their 18-match win streak to close out the year also ranks second. Leading 2-0, the Blue Devils looked as if they had control of the match. After taking the first set easily 6-2, Robinson fell behind 4-1 in the second set to Marion Ravelojaona. The senior co-captain dug deep and started to claw her way back into the set and getting back on serve. After tying the match 4-4, the Rehoboth Beach, Del., native took the next two games to make it 3-0 in Duke’s favor. Just moments later Mang was set for championship point. Looking to serve out the match for the national title, Mang turned in a forehand winner to end the match and give Duke its first national title.

Second-seeded MARYLAND collected its first Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Soccer Championship since 2002 with a 1-0 decision over fourthseeded Virginia on November 16, 2008. The lone goal proved to be enough to give the Terps their third overall ACC crown before 1,513 at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C. Terrapins’ Graham Zusi nearly stunned both teams by launching a long drive from just beyond midfield in the opening seconds of the title match. Only an alert save by Virginia goalkeeper Michael Giallombardo prevented the attempt from finding its mark. But Maryland found the back of the net at the 2:38 mark as Casey Townsend took a feed from Doug Rodkey and crossed to junior midfielder and Tournament Most Valuable Player Jeremy Hall, who drove home his 13th goal of the
season from close range. Virginia had its chances, but Maryland goalkeeper Zac MacMath recorded five saves and defenders Omar Gonzalez, Rich Costanzo, A.J. Delagarza and Rodney Wallace helped preserve the shutout. The ACC crown also extended Maryland’s win streak to 11 straight victories before heading into the 2008 NCAA Tournament. Joining Hall on the All-Tournament team were Maryland teammates Gonzalez, MacMath and Townsend; Virginia’s Brian Ownby, Jonathan Villanueva and Matt Poole; Wake Forest’s Corben Bone, Boston College’s Chris Brown, Duke’s Mike Grella and NC State’s Ronnie Bouemboue.

08/09 ACC ANNUAL REPORT
To open the 2008-09 season, North Carolina earned its first-ever Preseason Women’s NIT title with an 80-79 escape at then-ranked No. 2 Oklahoma on November 23. And then, to conclude the season, the ACC broke the league record for nonconference wins in a single season with 156 and was one of only four leagues with seven teams owning more than 20 wins. Marissa Coleman’s three-point field goal with 2:54 left in overtime and a nearly perfect afternoon from the foul line gave Maryland the edge in a 92-89 victory over Duke in the 32nd annual ACC Tournament championship
game. The TeRps, who earned their eighth ACC title, overcame the disappointment of losing a six-point lead in the final 90 seconds of regulation, and they improved to 10-1 in OT during the careers of spectacular seniors Coleman and Kristi Toliver. Coleman, who was named Tournament Most Valuable Player, finished with 28 points, 15 rebounds and six assists to deliver Maryland its first ACC title since 1989. The Terps went 23-of-24 at the foul line, a tournament record for any game with 10 or more attempts. In addition, the OT was the first in the ACC finals since the Terrapins lost to
Virginia 106-103 in three extra sessions in 1993, a classic some consider the best game involving two ACC teams. The 2009 ACC Tournament, celebrating its 10th anniversary in Greensboro, set four single-session attendance records, while the four-day count also set a new overall attendance record of 73,187 fans. Maryland led the league with a pair of players on the ACC first team as Toliver, the only repeat first-team selection from last season, was joined by Terrapin teammate Marissa Coleman. Virginia also placed two players on the first team, as Lyndra Littles and Monica Wright were selected by 45 members of the ACC’s Blue Ribbon Panel, which was formed last year and includes members of the media as well as ACC head coaches. Duke’s Chante Black completed the first-team selections. NC State’s Bonae Holston earned the second-annual ACC Sixth Player of the Year honor, while Maryland center Lynetta Kizer was named ACC Freshman of the Year after helping the Terps to a share of the ACC co-championship and a No. 1 seed in the ACC Tournament. ACC Women’s Basketball Defensive Player of the Year Chante Black of Duke headlined the conference’s 2009 All-Defensive Team, as North Carolina’s Jessica Breland, Clemson’s Lele Hardy, Florida State’s Jacinta Monroe and Georgia Tech’s Jacqua Williams joined
200 Black on the team. In addition, Virginia Tech senior Laura Haskins was named recipient of the inaugural Kay Yow Award as the ACC Women’s Basketball ScholarAthlete of the Year. Three ACC players were selected in the first round of the 2009 Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) Draft. The 2009 WNBA Draft, saw a trio of ACC studentathletes tabbed in the first 10 picks, while nine ACC players were selected overall, matching the league’s draftee totals of both 2006 and 2007.
• NCAA Action For the seventh-straight year, the Atlantic Coast Conference was represented by at least six teams in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament Field of 64. The ACC was one of only four leagues to place six or more teams in the Big Dance. For the fourth consecutive year, a pair of ACC teams earned two of the No. 1 seeds to the NCAA Tournament. Maryland, which won the school’s first ACC Tournament

crown since 1989, finished 28-4 and earned a No. 1 slot for the second consecutive year. Joining the Terrapins as a No. 1 seed was Duke, which concluded the regular season 26-5 overall, including eight wins against ranked opponents. Joining Maryland and Duke as representatives of the ACC were Florida State, Georgia Tech, North Carolina and Virginia. The league’s women’s basketball programs continue to rank among the best in the country in terms of the NCAA Tournament, having made 150 appearances and won 200 games in the last 32 years, including 36 wins by a number one seed. Boston College, which made its second consecutive Women’s NIT appearance, and Wake Forest represented the ACC in the postseason WNIT. Boston College finished as the runners-up to South Florida. Maryland was the lone ACC team competing in the 2009 regionals as the Terrapins advance to the regional finals in Raleigh, N.C., where the team fell to Louisville, 77-60. •

ViRgiNiA’s John Hicks singled through the left side of the Florida State infield, driving home the two goahead runs in the ninth inning as the sixth-seeded Cavaliers edged the Seminoles 6-3 for the 2009 ACC Baseball Championship on May 24. FSU and Virginia entered the final innings tied, 3-3. The Seminoles loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the eighth, but Virginia reliever Tyler Wilson struck out pinch hitter Tommy Oravetz and induced first baseman Jack Posey to fly to right field, escaping the jam. In the top of the ninth, Virginia also managed to load the bases with one out on FSU reliever Sean Gilmartin, thanks to a single by designated hitter Phil Gosselin, an error by FSU second baseman Jason Stridham and a walk. Unlike Wilson, Gilmartin was unable to
get out of danger. Hicks delivered his crucial hit, putting the Cavs in the lead. Virginia added an insurance run when Dan Grovatt scored on a passed ball. Cavalier reliever Kevin Arico sewed up the victory by striking out the side in the bottom of the ninth. Florida State grabbed an early lead on a two-run first inning home run by Stridham, his 11th of the season. Stridham also drove in a run with a single in the third. The Cavaliers tied the game with a single run in the second, which was scored on Steven Proscia’s RBI double, and two runs in the fourth— catcher Franco Valdes drove in a run with a single, then later scored himself, thanks to a wild pitch, a fielder’s choice and a passed ball. It was the third ACC baseball title for Virginia, which last won the ACC Championshp in 1996. It was the

sixth conference championship for the Cavalier athletic program this scholastic year — one more than FSU and Maryland, which claimed five titles each. This year’s tournament drew 39,639 fans for 13 games — the ninth best total in ACC history.
• NCAA Action A league record-tying seven Atlantic Coast Conference teams were among the 64-team field when the 2009 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship got under way with regional play May 29. Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech and North Carolina were named as regional host schools by the NCAA, and Virginia earned the conference’s automatic berth by virtue of winning the 2009 ACC
Baseball Championship. Boston College and Miami were also among the full-field of 64 teams announced on May 25, bringing the ACC’s total representation to seven. The ACC also placed seven teams in the 2005, 2006, and 2007 NCAA Championship fields. Six teams earned berths last year, and this marked the eighth straight year at least five teams have qualified for NCAA postseason play. In addition to being awarded the right to host a regional, North Carolina received a No. 4 national seed. The Tar Heels advanced to the College World Series at Omaha, Neb., for the fourth straight year. Miami was in the field for the 37th consecutive year, extending its own record. Florida State made its 32nd straight appearance, second all-time. Those are the nation’s two longest streaks. Among ACC teams, Clemson made its first appearance after a one-year absence, but the Tigers have been among the field 22 of the last 23 years. Georgia Tech was in the NCAA tournament for the second straight year, but the Yellow Jackets have appeared in 23 of the last 25 tournaments overall. North Carolina made its eighth straight NCAA appearance and Virginia is appearing for the sixth straight time. The relative newcomer was Boston College, which made its 10th overall NCAA appearance, but its first since 1967. Total NCAA postseason appearances (counting this season) for this year’s ACC participating teams are as follows: Boston College 10, Clemson 34, Florida State 47, Georgia Tech 25, Miami 38, North Carolina 24 and Virginia nine. Clemson, Florida State, North Carolina and Virginia reached the Super Regionals, and Virginia and UNC reached the College World Series at Omaha, Neb. to give the ACC multiple representation at that event for the third time. The CWS trip was the first ever for Virginia and the eighth for UNC. Both teams posted 12 records in Omaha. •

Duke claimed its sixth ACC tournament title as senior Mike Catalino and freshman C.J. Costabile both recorded hat tricks to lead the defending champion Blue Devils to their third straight Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Lacrosse Championship. Duke held off a determined North Carolina team, 15-13, on April 26 at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, N.C. The Blue Devils had previously tallied crowns in 1995, 2001, 2002, 2007, and 2008. North Carolina midfielder Sean Delaney led his team with three goals in the league’s title game; however it was apparent that both offenses came ready to play on the extremely hot afternoon in Chapel Hill as the two teams exchanged 11 goals in the first stanza. Duke rookie and the Tournament’s Most Valuable Player Costabile headlined the alltournament team, which consisted of: Maryland’s Joe Cummings; Duke’s Ned Crotty, Zach Howell, Mike Catalino, Max Quinzani, Mike Manley, and Steve Schoeffel; and North Carolina’s Billy Bitter, Ben Hunt, Chris Hunt, and Ryan Flanaghan. All four ACC programs were represented on the 2009 AllACC team, while the Cavaliers placed a league-high four representatives to the squad, which is determined by a vote of the league’s four head coaches. Duke senior midfielder Ned Crotty, who eclipsed the 100-career point mark in 2009, was named the 2009 ACC Player of the Year. Earning the ACC Freshman of the Year honor was Virginia’s rookie attackman Steele Stanwick, the top-ranked recruit in the nation, according to Inside Lacrosse last year. This year’s
Coach of the Year honors went to Virginia’s Dom Starsia, who holds a 300-111 overall career record and a 199-65 mark in his 16 years at the helm of the Cavaliers. Starsia, who was inducted into the Lacrosse Hall of Fame last fall, has led his Cavalier squads to three of the school’s four NCAA titles and has won the most games in school history and most games in ACC history. • NCAA Action Led by top-seeded Virginia, the Atlantic Coast Conference had 100 percent representation in the 2009 NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship. Joining the Cavaliers was Duke, which received the No. 3 seed, North Carolina, which earned the No. 6 seed, and Maryland, which captured an at-large bid to the postseason tournament. Duke, making its 13th appearance in the NCAA Tournament, advanced to the NCAA Semifinals for the third consecutive season and fourth time in the past five seasons. Despite falling to eventual champion Syracuse in the semis, the 15 wins for Duke marks the third most wins in Duke single season history. Also advancing to the NCAA semifinals was Virginia, which won the national championship three years ago, and has appeared in the semifinals 20 times. The Cavaliers fell to Cornell, 15-6, in the NCAA semifinals. The league’s men’s lacrosse programs continue to rank among the best in the country in terms of the NCAA Tournament, having made 102 appearances and won 124 games since 1971. •

MARYlAND, which finished the regular season without a single blemish, won a hard-fought 12-11 victory over Duke to win its sixth ACC Women’s Lacrosse Championship crown on November 26 at Virginia Tech’s Thompson Field. The win was the closest game of the 2009 Tournament and gave the Terrapins an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament. The league title is Maryland’s first since 2003. The Terps opened the game with a flurry of four goals in the first 10 minutes, including the first after only 30 seconds of game action. Duke answered with a string of five unanswered goals to stem the Terrapin tide and take a 5-4 lead going into halftime. Duke continued their run with three more goals to take an 8-3 lead with 23 minutes remaining. The Terrapins then went on an 8-1 run over the next 18 minutes to take a 129 lead with two and a half minutes left in the game. Duke pulled two goals back with 2:08 and 59 seconds
remaining to cut the margin to 12-11. Championship Most Valuable Player Caitlyn McFadden scored four goals in the title game, including the go-ahead goal with 8:19 remaining. Sarah Mollison and Karri Ellen Johnson each posted two goals and an assist for Maryland. Duke was paced by Sarah Bullard’s four goals, while Caroline Cryer added two goals and three assists. Maryland’s Brittany Dipper made 10 saves to get the win in goal to improve to 13-0. Joining MVP McFadden on the all-tournament team was Maryland teammates Dipper, Johnson, Mollison, Brittany Jones, and Karissa Taylor; Duke’s Bullard, Cryer, Carolyn Davis, and Kim Imbesi; North Carolina’s Becky Lynch; and Virginia’s Kaitlin Duff. Highlighting the 2009 All-ACC Women’s Lacrosse Team was 2009 Conference Player of the Year Caitlyn McFadden, a finalist for the 2009 Tewaaraton Trophy, an award annually given out to the nation’s top women’s
19-0 lacrosse player. The Maryland junior also earned national recognition as she was named the WomensLacrosse.com and WomensLax.com National Midfielder of the Year. McFadden was tabbed ACC Women’s Lacrosse Tournament Most Valuable Player in addition to landing on the All-ACC team for the second-straight season. This year’s Player of the Year honor marks the fourth time in ACC
women’s lacrosse history that it has been given to the same person who won the league’s championship MVP. Maryland swept the individual ACC Women’s Lacrosse accolades as head coach Cathy Reese and rookie Karri Ellen Johnson were applauded for their season’s efforts. Reese, who is only in her third season at the helm of the Maryland program, led the Terrapins to an unblemished 19-0 2009 record, including a convincing 5-0 ACC mark. The honor marks the Ellicott City, Md., native’s second ACC Coach of the Year title as Reese returned to her alma mater in 2007 and guided the Terps to a 16-4 record, including a first-place finish in the ACC en route to collecting her first Coach of the Year award. This season, Reese’s Terps have paced the ACC in goals, assists, points, shots and shot percentage, while tallying the team’s highest win total since 2001. Johnson, a rookie attacker, helped pace the second-ranked Terrapins with a team - and conference -high 74 goals. That marks the highest single-season total for a freshman in Maryland program history.
MARYLAND’s unblemished 2009 record, including a convincing 5-0 ACC mark.

Keyed by a trio of straight-set singles victories, VIRGINIA cruised to a 4-0 win over third-seeded Wake Forest at Cary Tennis Park to claim its third straight ACC title and its fifth in six years on April 19. The then-unbeaten Cavaliers became the first team in the 24 years of dual match play to sweep three straight matches without losing a point. Virginia defeated eighthseeded North Carolina and fourthseeded Florida State by 4-0 scores en route to the championship match. It continued a strong run by Virginia, which many thought would face a rebuilding year after losing three key players – including twotime NCAA singles champion
Somdev Devavarman and fellow All-American Treat Huey – from last season’s team that posted a 32-1 record and reached the NCAA semifinals. After claiming the doubles point behind wins by Sanam Singh and Houston Barrick at No. 2, and Lee Singer and Drew Courtney at No. 3, the Cavaliers took the singles in fairly short order. Tournament Most Valuable Player Dominic Inglot defeated Wake’s Cory Parr 6-4, 6-3 at No. 1, Singh won in straight sets at No. 2, and Courtney added his straight-set win at No. 5. With the win over the Deacons, Virginia extended its dual-match winning streak vs. ACC opposition to 45.

ACC ATHLETES OF THE YEAR
MAlE ATHlETE OF THE YEAR NC State golfer Matt Hill, the 2009 NCAA individual champion, and North Carolina’s Casey Nogueira, who led her Tar Heel soccer team to a national title while earning National Player of the Year honors, are the 2008-09 Atlantic Coast Conference Male and Female Athletes of the Year. Matt Hill receives the “Anthony J. McKevlin Award” as the 2008-09 Atlantic Coast Conference Male Athlete of the Year. That award, named in honor of the former sports editor of the Raleigh News & Observer, has been presented since the formation of the ACC in 1954. Hill is the first golfer ever to receive the McKevlin Award. In addition to becoming the Wolfpack’s first NCAA golf champion, he is just the second golfer in NCAA history to win conference, regional and national titles in the same year. The other was Tiger Woods in 1996. A rising junior from Brights Grove, Ontario, Hill won eight tournaments this past year, easily eclipsing the previous ACC record of five. His 70.1 stroke average was the best in the country and helped him achieve consensus national player of the year honors. Hill received 20 votes as the McKevlin Award winner. Florida State football player Myron Rolle, who earned AllAmerica honors as a defensive back while also being named a Rhodes Scholar, was second in the balloting with nine votes.

New Benchmarks for ACC Football Since becoming a 12-team league in 2005, the ACC has seen 34 teams compete in bowl games in the ensuing four seasons. That is the most by any conference during that time. The next closest is the SEC with 32 bowl appearances. The ACC had four teams ranked in the Top 25 of the final Bowl Championship Series Standings in 2008, led by Georgia Tech (15) and followed by Boston College (17), Florida State (24) and Virginia Tech (25). Florida State safety Myron Rolle became the first ACC football player in 47 years to be named a recipient of the coveted Rhodes Scholarship.

ACC schools have combined to graduate players at a rate of 72 percent, according to the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate (GSR) survey. Over the past two years, the ACC has seen 25 of its players taken in the first round of the NFL Draft. That is the most of any conference in the nation, followed by the SEC with 24. The 115 ACC players drafted overall over the past three years also leads all conferences. A total of 254 ACC alumni were on NFL rosters at the start of the 2008 season, second only to the SEC’s 259. For the third straight year and the third time in ACC history, the league passed the four-million mark in attendance. ACC schools attracted 4,380,784 in their 83 home dates, an average attendance of 52,781 per game. Several ACC career records fell during the 2008 season. Wake Forest senior cornerback Alphonso Smith finished with 21 career interceptions to set a new league mark. Clemson wide receiver Aaron Kelly finished his career with 232 receptions, 16 more than the previous league record. North Carolina’s Brandon Tate (2,688 yards) and Duke’s Jabari Marshall (2,630) finished their careers as the top two kickoff return specialists in league history in terms of yardage.
ACC Bowl Season in Review The ACC sent an NCAA-record 10 teams to bowl games in 2008, with Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, Florida State and Maryland posting wins. Virginia Tech (10-4) became one of only three Football Bowl Sub-Division teams to win at least 10 games in each of the past five seasons with its 20-7 win over Cincinnati in the FedEx Orange Bowl. Most Valuable Player Darren Evans keyed the Hokies by rushing for 153 yards on 28 carries. Florida State’s 42-13 win over Wisconsin in the Champs Sports Bowl was highlighted by defensive touchdowns by linebacker Derek Nicholson and Dekoda Watson. The Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl saw Maryland’s Da’Rel Scott rush for 174 yards in just 21 minutes to lead a 42-35 win over Nevada.

STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The 2008-09 Committee was comprised of Boston College Michael Hogan............ Swimming............................... Junior Syringa Ko................... Fencing................................... Junior
The ACC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) continues to function as an integral part of the Atlantic Coast Conference governance structure. The Committee is composed of two student-athletes from each school to ensure each school has proper representation at every meeting. The Committee meets two times each academic year in person and two times via conference call. The feedback from ACC student-athletes on this Committee on issues which affect them is extremely important in the process of making educated decisions on ACC and NCAA legislation and policies that affect student-athletes. The student-athlete experience at conference championships remained a standing agenda item this year. The conference office did receive valuable feedback from those student-athletes that participated in the online championships survey but the goal for the upcoming year will be to increase the number of respondents. 2008-09 brought about change for the conference SAAC sportsmanship award. The committee reviewed the current policy and made recommendations to the governance structure to completely revamp the process. The SAAC unveiled the new nomination process following the fall 2009 league meetings, with plans to recognize a male and female winner (and/or a team) from each institution as well the overall ACC sportsmanship award winners which can be found on the SAAC link via the ACC.com. The SAAC in ACCtion series continues to be successful for the committee as they feature campus stories and share programming initiatives. The 2009-10 series will highlight campus SAAC members who have “gone pro in something other than sports.� Please see the archived article submissions on examples of sportsmanship as well as group community service efforts from each school which included pictures, blogs, and updates from every school.

Winners were determined by a review of the overall ACC SAAC. Each campus has recognized its individual and team nominees. To be considered, nominees must have demonstrated consistently good sportsmanship and ethical behavior in his/her daily participation in intercollegiate athletics. The student-athlete must have also demonstrated good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting and be of good academic standing. The complete list of 2008-09 nominees was as follows: Boston College Women’s Ice Hockey Team, Men’s Swimming Team Clemson Maggie Bernard (women’s cross country), C.J. Spiller (football) Florida State Melanie Cabassol (women’s swimming and diving), Drew Weatherford (football) Georgia Tech D’Andre Bell (men’s basketball) Maryland Andrew Kay (men’s golf); Hilary Lawson (women’s golf) Miami Brittany Viola (women’s swimming and diving) North CarolinA Men’s Fencing Team NC State Kristin Davies (women’s swimming and diving) Virginia Marlow Bruneau (women’s volleyball); Daniel Johnson (men’s swimming) Virginia Tech Sara Marie Smith (women’s swimming); Paul Debnam (men’s basketball) Wake Forest Thomas Sensing (men’s track and field)
ACC Sportsmanship School of the Year Awards
Prior to the 2008-09 academic year, the ACC awarded a sportsmanship award for each of its 25 sponsored sports. The concept of these awards was created by the ACC Student Athlete Advisory Committee in an effort to recognize teams who earned the utmost regard from their peers during competition. As is stated in the conference’s Mission Statement, “It [the ACC] strongly adheres to the principles of integrity and sportsmanship, and supports the total development of the student-athlete and each member institution’s athletics department staff, with the intent of producing enlightened leadership for tomorrow.” Teams receiving the award conducted themselves with a high degree of character and good sportsmanship, as determined by a vote of the league’s teams. 2003-04.......................................

Services to Member Schools in Compliance & Governance The ACC continues to improve and refine its services to its member institutions regarding compliance and governance. Many of these efforts are centered on helping institutional administrators deal with the increased volume and content of NCAA legislation issues, but also to improve communication on campus among those who make decisions on the legislation and compliance. With the restructuring of the NCAA governance structure the focus has been to improve communications to ACC Governance groups. Summary reports from all Council and Committee meetings, as well as NCAA Board of Directors meetings are available and distributed in a timely fashion by email to all of the conference’s governance groups who impact the decision making regarding governance issues. In addition, the Council of Presidents continue to follow the communication policy and procedures that were approved to build an effective and efficient communication process within the conference, which is a critical component in an effective functioning conference governance structure. Service and educational efforts regarding NCAA legislation to campus compliance administrators has been maintained through email, monthly conference calls and two in-person meetings during the course of the year. All compliance forms as well as the ACC Manual, have been placed on the ACC Intranet site, that is password protected, for ease of reference. Improvement in the response time for interpretations from the ACC Office to its member schools continues to be a goal. This past summer the Compliance and Governance staff held the first ACC Summer Compliance Workshop in Greensboro. The focus of the workshop was to help educate and bring together financial aid administrators from member institutions as well as those involved in the process of certifying eligibility for student-athletes. Over 100 participants from member institutions attended the program and heard presentations from an NCAA staff member and individuals from member institutions. Attendees were also able to discuss and share best practices with their counterparts at other member institutions. Due to the success of the event it is anticipated that the next workshop will be held in the summer of 2011. The ACC’s total available funds for the newly combined Student Assistance Fund, formerly the Student-Athlete Opportunity Fund & the Special Assistance Fund, was $3,932,293.13 of which the membership spent $2,587,669.43. The Conference office will continue to distribute the checks upon receipt of the funds from the national office by September. The Conference continues to operate a comprehensive compliance review program. Each institution is reviewed by the ACC staff in accordance with NCAA bylaws. Three institutions were reviewed this past academic year with three more scheduled for 2009-10. The second round of compliance reviews of member institutions will be completed in the fall of 2010.

08/09 ACC ANNUAL REPORT
ACC Payout per School Remains High The ACC’s revenue distribution for the 2008-09 fiscal year is one of the highest per-institution in intercollegiate athletics. With revenue escalations each year in the ACC’s football and basketball agreements, and new bowl contracts which began in 2006-07, the Conference is well positioned to meet the increasing financial needs of ACC member schools. The Conference made a one-time distribution of reserve funds in 2008-09 to assist member schools in reaching their revenue budgets.
Cost Center Budgeting System The conference utilizes a new budget process which includes significant involvement from the Finance Committee which is comprised of a representative of each member institution. The process includes involvement from this Committee and the ACC office in creating and reviewing the Conference operating budget prior to its approval at the Spring Business Meeting. The ACC Office continues to use a cost-center, responsibility-based accounting system to allow cost center managers the ability to review their accounts on-line and, thus, be able to react quickly in managing their budgets and gaining timely information.
Investment Policies The current allocation of asset investments for the Conference is delegated to the Finance Committee and its Investment Sub-Committee. This oversight includes development of the Conference Investment policy, including the determination of appropriate asset allocations, consistent review of invested funds, and recommendations regarding Conference monetary investments.
ACC Staff Changes Nora Lynn Finch joined the conference office in August 2008 as Associate Commissioner for Women’s Basketball and Senior Woman Administrator. Charlene Curtis joined the conference office as the ACC’s Coordinator of Women’s Basketball Officials in August 2008. Georgia Davis came to the conference office in August 2008, serving as Administrative Assistant for Women’s Basketball and Senior Woman Administrator.
ACC Actively Pursues Minority Candidates for Conference Positions The Atlantic Coast Conference is committed to achieving diversity in all aspects of its administration. One of the areas the Conference Office is looking to achieve this is in actively pursuing minority candidates for positions which are available in the ACC Office. The Conference Office conducts a concerted effort to identify, seek and hire qualified minority personnel.
Continuing the Development of Minority Internship Programs
theACC.com ACC’s Official Website
One of the most successful programs developed by the Atlantic Coast Conference is its internship program for ethnic minority males and women. Officially named the Atlantic Coast Conference Futures Internship Program, the Conference partially funds, along with two of its Regional Sports Network partners and Disney’s Wide World of Sports, a total of four Minority Internships. These interns work with the following organizations: the Atlantic Coast Conference Office, Fox Sports Net, Sun Sports and Disney’s Wide World of Sports. The program has been very successful in placing the interns into permanent positions within the athletics and sports TV industry. The ACC will continue to be aggressive in finding full-time positions for its Minority Internship Program graduates.
The Atlantic Coast Conference enjoyed another successful year on the Internet in 2008-09 thanks to a partnership with CBS College Sports and ACC Properties. TheACC. com continues to be among the top sites for CBSC and is typically the network’s highest-ranked conference. Viewership for the site grew to over 15 million page views and 3.3 million ‘unique visitors’. The site continues to serve as a centralized location for schedules, scores and results from each of the ACC sports. The site launched a weekly football series “This Week in ACC Football” in 2008, highlighting each week’s action on the gridiron through a variety of mediums. It also continued enhancements in its video offerings during the year, including highlights and press conference footage from select championship events as well as video features of various individuals and teams. The regular features remained constant with Bill Hass on the ACC (weekly), Looking Back by Jim Sumner (biweekly) and MFS presents Getting to Know: The ACC (weekly). The site began a new partnership with Team Fan Shop for its online store. The site also continued its online photo store through Pictopia. The ACC entered the world of social media in early 2009 with the building of a conference page on Facebook in January. That was followed with a Twitter account (@theACC) in February 2009 following all ACC sports. Both outlets are being used as additional means to reach fans with the ACC messages, while also drawing users back to theACC.com. The conference has already begun evaluating the use of social media to further develop its presence in the near future.

ACC Select continued to showcase live and on-demand Olympic-type sports that are not available through traditional broadcast and cable outlets. During last year, ACC Select delivered over 650 events spanning 25 sports and reached both a national and international audience. ACC Select streamed coverage of every nontelevised Conference Championship at no charge, giving our fans unprecedented access to the action.

DAYS OF CARING
On Monday, September 29, 2008 the Atlantic Coast Conference participated in a Days of Caring project during their United Way Kickoff Luncheon. Greensboro Urban Ministry was the recipient of a canned food drive hosted by ACC staff members to build up the Greensboro community food bank. In addition, the ACC participated in October for a week volunteering their time at Greensboro Urban Ministry. Staff members were either working at Potter’s House Community Kitchen serving a noontime meal for about 350 people in the area, or participating at the Food/Clothing Bank helping to fill food orders or receiving clothing donations and sorting the items. Days of Caring is a United Way and Volunteer Center of Greensboro Special Event that mobilizes employees from area work places to provide community service at local agencies and schools. This was the eleventh annual Days of Caring that the ACC office has taken part in and over the years has donated time and manpower to other deserving Greensboro agencies such as Mary’s House, Hospice and Palliative Care, Guilford Regional AIDS Interfaith Network, Millis Road Elementary School, Senior Resources of Greensboro, Horsepower Therapeutic Learning Center, a ReadA-Thon at Hampton Extended Year Academy and Habitat for Humanity. 68
08/09 ACC ANNUAL REPORT
ACC INTER-INSTITUTIONAL ACADEMIC COLLABORATIVE Funded by the allocation of income from the Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game, the IAC is a special commitment of the 12 university presidents and the conference office that encourages sharing academic and administrative expertise to benefit undergraduate students. The ACCIAC captures the collective strength by working together. Strategies for collaboration include conferences of students from all 12 universities, scholarship awards to encourage creative projects and/or study abroad, faculty development seminars led by experts from other ACC campuses, and exchanges of best practices among leaders with similar job responsibilities. In all activities, the focus is enhancing the quality of education for all undergraduates. The University of Miami hosted a best practices conference for administrators and faculty responsible for international education in November 2008. In February 2009, students presented undergraduate research papers at a conference hosted by NC State University. In April, 57 student leaders, accompanied by leadership program directors, gathered at Virginia Tech for leadership seminars and competitive learning exercises. Forty-three students from all 12 universities received scholarship awards that helped make possible study abroadarchitecture in Japan, philosophy in
Greece, geography in South Africa, English literature in London, Buddhism in Nepal, communications in Australia, international business in Hong Kong, etc. The stature of these All-ACC awards adds greatly to their significance and helps the awardees open doors when abroad. Since no single university can justify hiring the full spectrum of professorial talent for comprehensive coverage of the vast and diverse Eurasian cultures, the capacities of our universities were joined together in the sponsorship of a Eurasian Conference. Twenty students and forty faculty members from all 12 universities participated in an intensive three-day conference at Koc University, Istanbul. Advanced by this conference, 4 of the universities are launching programs with Koc, several multi-campus research projects are being developed, and a special ACC-Tikrit University (Iraq) linkage (led by UNC) is expanding. At the inaugural meeting of the Chief Undergraduate Education Officers (held at ACC headquarters), a new program of scholarships for undergraduate research and creative endeavors was designed and implemented. This program will allow each university, each year, to award between 2 and 5 scholarships that will enable students to pursue, independently and under faculty guidance, a creative or research project in their chosen discipline. Also for the first time, the heads
of Teaching-and-Learning-Centers (committed to expanding faculty knowledge and use of sound pedagogy) met to craft and implement the new Teaching Scholars Program. Under this program, faculty pedagogical leaders will travel from one ACC university to lead workshops and seminars at a sister university. Several other developments are worth noting. Due to travel freezes throughout many of the conference’s member institutions, most affinity group meetings (e.g., student affairs vice presidents, fiscal officers) were either held by conference call or deferred. The ACCIAC website (http://acciac.org) was totally redesigned, including a strengthening of the database of undergraduate travel abroad opportunities. More information about each of the activities mentioned in this report is available at the website. The ACC’s commitment of athletic funds to the direct enhancement of the undergraduate education experience is distinctive among all athletic conferences and an appropriate reflection of the centrality of academics. Among all athletic conferences, only the Ivy League can claim a higher percentage of its members among the Top 35 universities in the country. Excelling both academically and athletically is both a goal and a reality.

institution with the best overall athletics program in each of the NCAA’s Divisions I, II and III, and the NAIA. Developed as a joint effort between USA Today and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup program is the only all-sports competition that recognizes the institution in each of the four categories with the best overall athletics program.

Duke University senior and women’s track and field team member Sally Liu was one of two Duke students awarded a Marshall Scholarship to continue his or her studies at the postgraduate level. Liu, a native of San Diego, Calif., is studying pre-med at Duke and works in a biology research lab where she studies muscular disorders in fruitflies. On the track, Liu owns Duke’s fifth-best performance all-time in the indoor pole vault, with her mark of 11-9.75 at the 2007 ACC Indoor Championships. Liu plans to study public health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the London School of Economics for two years after her graduation from Duke. She will also conclude her track and field career in the spring of 2009.
Rhodes Scholar Elliot F. Gerson, American Secretary of the Rhodes Trust, announced the names of the thirty-two American men and women chosen as Rhodes Scholars. Among the 32 recipients, two were former ACC student athletes: Myron Rolle, Florida State football and Parker Goyer, Duke Women’s tennis. Rhodes Scholarships are provided all expenses for two or three years of study at the University of Oxford in England, and may allow funding in some instances for four years. Mr. Gerson called the Rhodes Scholarships, “the oldest and best known award for international study, and arguably the most famous academic award available to American college graduates.” They were created in 1902 by the Will of Cecil Rhodes, British philanthropist and African colonial pioneer. The first class of American Rhodes Scholars entered Oxford in 1904; those elected today will enter Oxford in October 2009. Rhodes Scholars are chosen in a two-stage process. First, candidates must be endorsed by their college or university. Over 1500 students each year seek their institution’s endorsement; this year, 769 were endorsed by 207 different colleges and universities. A native of Birmingham, Alabama, Parker Goyer was a three-year letter winner for the Blue Devils’ tennis team. She posted a 9-2 record as a senior and a 20-14 overall record in her three letter winning seasons. Goyer said she plans to study international comparative education at Oxford and find ways to expand the Coach for College program to other countries around the world. She majored in psychology with a concentration in neuroscience and currently is enrolled in the doctoral program at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. She will take a leave of absence to pursue a master’s degree at Oxford. Florida State safety and New Jersey native Myron Rolle will study at Oxford instead of entering this year’s NFL draft. Rolle won a Rhodes scholarship in November and plans to seek a one-year master’s degree in medical anthropology. Rolle, projected to be an early round pick, said he plans to enter the 2010 NFL draft. Rolle, from Galloway received his undergraduate degree in pre-med after two and a half years, and has been taking graduate courses at Florida State this year. After his NFL career, Rolle has said he plans to attend medical school and then open a clinic for the needy in the Bahamas.
