LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONER
THE ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE continues to achieve success both on the field and in the classroom. Collectively, the 12 member institutions have truly embodied what the ACC is all about – A Tradition of Excellence. The ACC was the top conference in the NACDA Learfield Directors’ Cup Final Standings with four ACC schools ranked in the top ten – Duke (5), North Carolina (6), Virginia (7) and Florida State (9) – all 12 ACC institutions ranked in the top 75. In 2010-11, ACC schools captured two team NCAA titles and 19 individual NCAA titles. In the fall, Maryland Field Hockey captured the league’s 16th title in the sport and seventh for the Terrapins. In the spring, the Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse Final Fours each featured three ACC teams. In the end, Virginia Men’s Lacrosse was victorious capturing the league’s 12th NCAA Title and fifth overall for the Cavaliers. ACC student-athletes excelled in individual competitions as well, specifically the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Meet, where 10 individual titles were captured. In addition to Outdoor Track & Field, individual NCAA titles were captured in Fencing, Swimming & Diving and Indoor Track & Field. Last year, a total of 132 teams earned berths to NCAA postseason competition and 308 student-athletes earned All-America honors. The ACC placed at least one team in the final top 10 nationally in 19 of the 25 sponsored sports for which polls were available. In all, 40 ACC teams finished their season with a top 10 ranking, including two at the No. 1 spot. The ACC also had three National Players of the Year, five National Freshmen of the Year and four National Coaches of the Year. Academically speaking, ACC student-athletes continued to set the bar 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 2010-11 ACC Honor Roll listed over 2,800 student-athletes. In football, Virginia Tech claimed its third ACC Football title in the last five years with a win over Florida State in the Sixth Annual Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game held in Charlotte, N.C. The Hokies were one of four ACC teams ranked in the final AP poll. In the sport of basketball, seven men’s teams and eight women’s teams advanced to the postseason. The ACC has led all conferences over the past three years with 17 first round NBA draft picks, including this year’s first overall selection for the first time since 1999. The ACC and its member institutions continue to exhibit a rich tradition of balancing athletics, academics and integrity. As a conference, we are tremendously proud of our student-athletes’ accomplishments this year and look forward to the year ahead. Sincerely,
John D. Swofford Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner

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 59th 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 122 national
championships,
including
65
in
women’s
competition and 57 in men’s. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC student-athletes 140 times in men’s competition and 99 times in women’s action. 4
2010-11 ACC ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR IN REVIEW
2010-11 ACC CHAMPIONS
The 2010-11 academic year saw league teams capturing two more national team titles and 19 individual NCAA crowns. In all, the ACC has won 52 national team titles over the last 14 years and has won two or more NCAA titles in 28 of the past 30 years. The ACC was the only conference in America to place four of its teams in the final Top 10 rankings of the 2009-10 Learfield Director’s Cup Standings--symbolic of the nation’s top overall programs--as Duke (5th), North Carolina (6th), Virginia (7th) and Florida State (9th) all were ranked nationally in the Top 10. This past year also marked the 10th consecutive year that the ACC has placed four or more teams in the Top 30 as Maryland finished 17th in this year’s final rankings. In all, the ACC is one of only three conferences to have all of its member schools in the Top 75. A total of 132 ACC teams placed in NCAA post-season competition in 2010-11. League teams compiled a 125-79-5 (.610) mark against opponents in NCAA championship competition.

A HISTORY
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.
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.
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.

MEMBER INSTITUTIONS OF THE ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE
Boston College was founded in 1863 by the Society of Jesus to serve the sons of Boston’s Irish immigrants and was the first institution of higher education to be founded in the city of Boston. Originally located on Harrison Avenue in the South End of Boston, the College outgrew its urban setting toward the end of its first 50 years. A new location was selected in Chestnut Hill and ground for the new campus was broken on June 19, 1909. During the 1940s, new purchases doubled the size of the main campus. In 1974, Boston College acquired Newton College of the Sacred Heart, 1.5 miles away. With 15 buildings on 40 acres, it is now the site of the Law School and residence halls. In 2004, BC purchased 43 acres of land from the archdiocese of Boston; this now forms the Brighton campus.
Clemson University is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near the Georgia border, and the tiger paws painted on the roads make the return to I-85 easier. The school is built around Fort Hill, the plantation home of John C. Calhoun, Vice President to Andrew Jackson. His son-in-law, Tom Clemson, left the land to be used as an agricultural school, and in 1893 Clemson opened its doors as a land-grant school, thanks to the efforts of Ben Tillman. Duke University was founded in 1924 by tobacco magnate James B. Duke as a memorial to his father, Washington Duke. Originally the school was called Trinity College, a Methodist institution, started in 1859. In 1892, Trinity moved to west Durham where the east campus with its Georgian architecture now stands. Nearby are Sarah P. Duke gardens, and further west the Gothic spires of Duke chapel overlook the west campus.
Florida State University is one of 11 universities of the State University System of Florida. It was established as the Seminary West of the Suwannee by an act of the Florida Legislature in 1851, and first offered instruction at the post-secondary level in 1857. Its Tallahassee campus has been the site of an institution of higher education longer than any other site in the state. In 1905, the Buckman Act reorganized higher education in the state and designated the Tallahassee school as the Florida Female College. In 1909, it was renamed Florida State College for Women. In 1947, the school returned to a coeducational status, and the name was changed to Florida State University.
Next to I-85 in downtown Atlanta stands the Georgia Institute of Technology, founded in 1885. Its first students came to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering, the only one offered at the time. Tech’s strength is not only the red clay of Georgia, but a restored gold and white 1930 model A Ford Cabriolet, the official mascot. The old Ford was first used in 1961, but a Ramblin’ Wreck had been around for over three decades. The Ramblin’ Wreck fight song appeared almost as soon as the school opened, and it is not only American boys that grow up singing its rollicking tune, for Richard Nixon and Nikita Krushchev sang it when they met in Moscow in 1959.
The University of Maryland opened in 1856 as an agricultural school nine miles north of Washington, D.C., on land belonging to Charles Calvert, a descendant of Lord Baltimore, the state’s founding father. The school colors are the same as the state flag: black and gold for George Calvert (Lord Baltimore) and red and white for his mother, Alice Crossland. Maryland has been called the school that Curley Byrd built, for he was its quarterback, then football coach, athletic director, assistant to the president, vice-president, and finally its president. Byrd also designed the football stadium and the campus layout, and suggested the nickname Terrapin, a local turtle known for its bite, when students wanted to replace the nickname Old Liners with a new one for the school.
The University of Miami was chartered in 1925 by a group of citizens who felt an institution of higher learning was needed for the development of their young and growing community. Since the first class of 560 students enrolled in the fall of 1926, the University has expanded to more than 15,000 undergraduate and graduate students from every state and more than 114 nations from around the world. The school’s colors, representative of the Florida orange tree, were selected in 1926. Orange symbolizes the fruit of the tree, green represents the leaves and white, the blossoms.
The University of North Carolina, located in Chapel Hill, has been called “the perfect college town,” making its tree-lined streets and balmy atmosphere what a college should look and feel like. Its inception in 1795 makes it one of the oldest schools in the nation, and its nickname of Tar Heels stems from the tar pitch and turpentine that were the state’s principal industry. The nickname is as old as the school, for it was born during the Revolutionary War when tar was dumped into the streams to impede the advance of British forces.
North Carolina State University is located in the state capital of Raleigh. It opened in 1889 as a landgrant agricultural and mechanical school and was known as A&M or Aggies or Farmers for over a quartercentury. The school’s colors of pink and blue were gone by 1895, brown and white were tried for a year, but the students finally chose red and white to represent the school. An unhappy fan in 1922 said State football players behaved like a pack of wolves, and the term that was coined in derision became a badge of honor.
The University of Virginia was founded in 1819 by Thomas Jefferson and is one of three things on his tombstone for which he wanted to be remembered. James Madison and James Monroe were on the board of governors in the early years. The Rotunda, a half-scale version of the Pantheon which faces the Lawn, is the focal point of the grounds as the campus is called. Jefferson wanted his school to educate leaders in practical affairs and public service, not just to train teachers.
Virginia Tech was established in 1872 as an all-male military school dedicated to the original landgrant mission of teaching agriculture and engineering. The University has grown from a small college of 132 students into the largest institution of higher education in the state during its 132-year history. Located in Southwest Virginia on a plateau between the Blue Ridge and Alleghany Mountains, the campus consists of 334 buildings and 20 miles of sidewalks over 2,600 acres. The official school colors Chicago maroon and burnt orange - were selected in 1896 because they made a “unique combination” not worn elsewhere at the time.
Wake Forest University was started on Calvin Jones’ plantation amid the stately pine forest of Wake County in 1834. The Baptist seminary is still there, but the school was moved to Winston-Salem in 1956 on a site donated by Charles H. and Mary Reynolds Babcock. President Harry S. Truman attended the ground-breaking ceremonies that brought a picturesque campus of Georgian architecture and painted roofs. Wake’s colors have been black and gold since 1895, thanks to a badge designed by student John Heck who died before he graduated.

MARYLAND clinched its seventh NCAA Championship with a 3-2 double-overtime victory against North Carolina. Sophomore Megan Frazer scored the game-winner in the 98th minute. Maryland took an early 1-0 lead before North Carolina tied it up with 30 seconds remaining in the first half. The Tar Heels took a 2-1 lead six minutes into the second half. With seven minutes to go in the game, the Terps tied it up to send the game into overtime. After a scoreless first extra period, Frazer found the back of the net to clinch the victory. She was joined on the All-Tournament team by fellow Terrapins Katie O’Donnell, Lauren Barr and Harriet Tibble. It was Maryland’s second title in three years and its league-leading seventh overall. The championship game was an All-ACC affair for the third consecutive season and 10th overall. ACC teams have accounted for the last nine national titles and 16 overall since 1983. The Terrapins finished the season 23-1 overall, with their only loss coming to fourth-ranked Princeton. The squad also posted a perfect 5-0 mark in conference play. Maryland, the No. 1 team in the country, topped Massachusetts, Connecticut and Ohio State to reach the title game, meeting No. 2 North Carolina for the second straight year for a rematch of the 2010 ACC Championship. The Terrapins have now reached the semifinals in 14 of their 23 appearances in the national tournament and have also played in 10 title games.

VIRGINIA junior midfielder Colin Briggs scored five goals and was named the NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player as the No. 7 seed Virginia Cavaliers put their stamp on the program’s fifth NCAA National Championship with a 9-7 triumph over the unseeded Maryland Terrapins on Memorial Day in front of 35,661 fans inside M&T Bank Stadium. Virginia became the lowest seed (7) and first five-loss team to win a men’s lacrosse national championship. The ACC now has 12 alltime NCAA titles, the most of any conference. UVa goalie Adam Ghitelman concluded his career with 50 career wins in between the pipes and ranks third all-time among NCAA Division I goalies. Ghitelman finished his career with 586 career saves, good for No. 2 all-time in the UVa annals. The game started off in a stand still as Maryland held a 1-0 lead after one quarter of play on a Grant Catalino score. It was the lowest combined goal total all-time in a NCAA Championship game, and was the first time a team had been shut out in the first period of the National Championship game since 2003, when UVa shut out Johns Hopkins (4-0). UVa snapped its scoreless drought of 17:13
MATT WHITE
when Briggs found the back of the net only 2:13 into the second quarter. Briggs’ goal jumpstarted a 4-2 Cavalier run, sending the Cavaliers into the intermission with the two goal lead, 5-3. Despite Maryland winning the shots battle (32-26), the ground ball battle (22-21), the faceoff battle (20-11), UVa topped the Terrapins in saves (9-8). Briggs’ Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Championship accolade is the first for UVa since Matt Ward won it in 2006 during UVa’s perfect 17-0 title run. Joining Briggs on the NCAA All-Tournament team from the ACC were: Maryland’s Grant Catalino, Niko Amato, Curtis Holmes and Brett Schmidt, alongside Virginia’s Matt White, Bray Malphrus, Nick O’Reilly and Steele Stanwick. Virginia’s win in the 2011 NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship gave the ACC its 12th overall Men’s Lacrosse national title and the Cavaliers their fifth all-time and first since 2006. The ACC has now won back-to-back NCAA Men’s Lacrosse national crowns (Duke, 2010). It is the first time the league has won consecutive national titles since North Carolina did so in 1981 and 1982. The only other time the ACC had twostraight was 1972 (Virginia) and 1973 (Maryland).

taking a 7-6 victory. It was the second time in ACC history that both the men’s and women’s programs from the same school have won lacrosse tournament titles in the same year. Maryland’s women also won the 2011 crown in Cary, N.C., while Virginia’s teams won both titles in 2006. Terrapin senior attackman Grant Catalino was named Tournament MVP after scoring three goals to lead Maryland. In addition to Catalino on the AllTournament team was: Duke’s Zach Howell, David Lawson, C.J. Costabile and goalie Dan Wigrizer; Maryland’s Ken Cooper, Curtis Holmes, Dan Burns, and Brett Schmidt and Ryan Young; and Virginia’s Colin Briggs. All four ACC programs were represented on this year’s well-balanced All-ACC team as Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia all collected three representatives on the squad, which is determined by a vote of the league’s four head coaches. Earning the 2011 ACC Freshman of the Year honor was North Carolina rookie attackman Nicky Galasso. The newcomer tallied an impressive season point tally of 56, breaking the school record for points in a single season by a freshman (45). Galasso earned the honor for the Tar Heel program for the fourth time and second consecutive. This year’s Coach of the Year honors went to
Duke’s John Danowski, who holds a 299-158 overall career record in his 29 years of coaching and an 81-19 mark in his five years at the helm of the Blue Devils. Danowski led his 2011 squad to a 14-6 overall finish and flawless 3-0 mark in ACC play, earning the seventh-ranked Blue Devils the ACC regular season crown, the ninth overall in program history and fifth since 2005. Virginia junior attackman Steele Stanwick picked up the program’s ninth overall ACC Player of the Year honor and first since Chris Rotelli (2003). The Baltimore, Md., native and 2009 ACC Freshman of the Year became the second Cavalier in program history to win the league’s player and freshman of the year accolades in their careers (Michael Watson, 1997). Stanwick was also named the recipient of the 2011 Tewaaraton Trophy as the nation’s top men’s lacrosse player. He marks the ACC’s fifth all-time Tewaaraton Trophy winner and Virginia’s third recipient. Stanwick joins Duke’s Ned Crotty (2010) and Matt Danowski (2007), and Virginia’s Chris Rotelli (2003) and Matt Ward (2006) as the five all-time Tewaaraton Trophy winners that hail from the ACC. Following the 2011 season, the ACC’s four men’s lacrosse programs combined for a 39-11 nonconference record, while together the programs finished 27-3 at home.
NCAA ACTION All four ACC men’s lacrosse programs were among the 16 selected to compete in the 2011 NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Championship, eventually leading to 75 percent of the makeup of this year’s Final Four competitors. Duke made its fifth consecutive NCAA appearance and 15th overall, returning as the reigning national champion - the squad’s first-ever men’s lacrosse national title. Maryland and the eventual 2011 national champion Cavaliers made their seventh-straight tournament appearance and 34th overall, tying for second all-time appearances with Maryland and behind only Johns Hopkins (40). North Carolina made its ninth-straight appearance and 26th overall NCAA Tournament showing, while the Terrapins competed in their ninth-straight NCAA Tournament and 34th appearance overall. Despite Maryland knocking off ACC-foe North Carolina in first-round action, the three other league teams (Duke, Maryland and Virginia) advanced all the way to the NCAA Final Four in Baltimore, Md. The 75 percent league representation marked the second time in NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship history that the ACC has sent three of the four final contenders. The league first did so in 2005 (Duke, Maryland & Virginia). The ACC has now been represented in the past seven consecutive NCAA Men’s Lacrosse semifinals and nine of the last 10. The ACC has made up at least 50 percent of the Final Four Men’s Lacrosse field on 20 occasions. Overall, this year marked the league’s 59th, 60th and 61st
appearances in the national semifinal contests. Unfortunately, two programs had to face one another. Maryland advanced to the Championship game with 9-4 win over Duke thanks to senior attackman Grant Catalino’s hat trick. The Terps advanced to the NCAA title game for the first time since 1998. Virginia also rode hat tricks to the finish line as Chris Bocklet, Mark Cockerton and Steele Stanwick led the Cavaliers to a 14-8 semifinal victory over Denver at M&T Bank Stadium. Virginia advanced to the Championship Game for the first time since 2006, when the Cavaliers won it all, and for the ninth time in program history.

MARYLAND
The top-ranked MARYLAND Terrapins came back from their largest deficit of the year to defeat the fourth-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels, 12-7, and win their third consecutive ACC Women’s Lacrosse Championship. Tournament MVP Laura Merrifield scored five goals and tallied one assist at WakeMed Soccer Park to lead the Terps to victory. Head coach Cathy Reese is now also the third all-time to win three-straight crowns. Entering the ACC Tournament, Maryland had recorded an impressive 15-0 record, including a flawless 5-0 league mark, and earned the ACC regular season crown for the 10th time overall and fifth consecutive. The tournament championship was Maryland’s eighth in program history. All six ACC women’s lacrosse programs were represented on this year’s All-ACC squad. Maryland led all programs with six representatives named to the 2011 All-ACC team, one higher than last year’s Terrapin tally. Senior attacker Sarah Mollison earned the 2011 ACC Player of the Year honor - the 10th all-time for the Maryland women’s lacrosse program - and marked the fifth-straight year the honor had gone to a Terrapin student-athlete. The Melbourne, Australia, native scored a goal in all but one game this season and racked up three or more points in 18 of the Terps’ 23 contests. North Carolina attacker Abbey Friend earned this year’s ACC Freshman of the Year honor after finishing the 2011 regular season ranked second among league newcomers in both goals and points, and led all ACC freshmen in assists. Friend started all 21 contests this season for the Tar Heels, tallying 10 goals in
ACC play. Reese, finished her fifth season at the helm of the Terrapin program, accepted her fourth ACC Coach of the Year honor and third-consecutive after sharing the honor a season ago with North Carolina head coach Jenny Levy. The Ellicott City, Md., native owns an impressive 98-11 record at Maryland, including a 22-3 mark in league play. This season, Reese led her alma mater to its third consecutive ACC Championship crown and the program’s 20th trip to the NCAA national title game. The ACC concluded the season with a 62-16 non conference record for 2011. In addition, the ACC won 87 percent (34-of39) of its non-conference games at home and 75 percent (24of-32) on the road this season. The league also boasted three of the NCAA Final Four contenders - the third time in NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Championship history that the ACC has made up 75 percent of the Final Four. The league first did so in 1998 (Maryland, North Carolina & Virginia) and again the following year in 1999 (Duke, Maryland & Virginia). Both previous times with three ACC teams, Maryland has pulled out as the national victor.

The postseason bid marked Maryland’s nation-best 27th all-time appearance and 22nd-consecutive. The Terps also boast the best all-time NCAA Division I Tournament record of 46-17. North Carolina made its seventh consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and 13th overall, while Duke extended its consecutive NCAA appearance streak to 14. Virginia received one of the eight at-large bids for the 16th-straight year the Cavaliers have participated in the NCAA Tournament and 24th overall, the secondmost tournament appearances in this year’s field, behind only Maryland’s 27. Boston College received the program’s first-ever NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Tournament bid as one of eight at-large selections. Despite North Carolina knocking off ACC-foe Virginia in first round action and Boston College being eliminated by second-seeded Northwestern, the other three ACC teams (Duke, Maryland and North Carolina) advanced all the way to the 2011 NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Final Four. It marked the third time in NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Championship history that the ACC has sent three of the four final contenders. The league first did so in 1998 (Maryland, North Carolina & Virginia) and again the
following year in 1999 (Duke, Maryland & Virginia). Both previous times with three ACC teams, Maryland has pulled out as the national victor. In addition, the ACC has sent at least two teams to the semifinals in six of the last nine seasons, and has made up at least 50 percent of the Final Four Women’s Lacrosse field on nine occasions. The ACC has been represented in every NCAA Women’s Lacrosse semifinal round since 1997, the year the league began sponsoring the sport. Overall, the league made its 24th, 25th and 26th appearances in the national semifinal contests in 2011, and the ACC’s third consecutive showing in the NCAA Championship game and 13th overall. A tenacious defensive effort allowed top-seeded Maryland to top Duke, 14-8, in semifinals, giving the Terps their nation-leading 16th NCAA championship game appearance. The Tar Heels ended their season at the hands of Northwestern for the third year in a row. In 2009, the Wildcats beat UNC in the national championship game, and this year’s loss was the second in a row to NU in the NCAA semifinals. In a rematch of the 2010 national championship, Maryland’s outcome fell just shy of its secondstraight national crown, dropping a heartbreaker to Northwestern, 8-7, in the finals of the 2011 NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Championship. The league’s

2010-11 ACC ANNUAL REPORT
The ACC saw six teams – Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina and VIRGINIA – ranked nationally throughout the regular season. That produced a stellar field for the 38th annual ACC Baseball Championship, which was held May 25-29 at Durham (N.C.) Bulls Athletic Park. The championship game came down to battle of division winners – Coastal co-champion Virginia and Atlantic champion Florida State. Virginia scored a 7-2 win over the Seminoles in the title game with the help of a three-run home run by Championship MVP Steven Proscia. The ACC Championship was the third for the Cavaliers, with all three ironically coming at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Virginia, saw junior left-hander Danny Hultzen voted ACC Pitcher of the Year, while the Cavaliers’ Brian O’Connor was voted the league’s Coach of the Year for a second year in a row. Clemson shortstop Brad Miller, whose .419 batting average during the regular season was 61 points higher than any other league batter, was voted the ACC Player of the Year. North Carolina third baseman Colin Moran, who hit .389 in ACC games and became just the fourth
freshman in school history to drive in 60 or more runs, earned Freshman of the Year honors. Hultzen finished his third year at UVa. with a 32-5 record and a 2.08 ERA, the lowest among conference pitchers with 100 or more career innings. Florida State pitcher Sean Gilmartin’s 32 career wins at end of the regular season were the fifth-most among active NCAA pitchers, and he added one more in postseason play. Florida State outfielder James Ramsey, a firstteam All-ACC selection and a Major League draft choice who also excelled in the classroom, was named the ACC Baseball Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The regular season was also highlighted by Virginia pitcher Will Roberts’ perfect game against George Washington on March 29. It was just the second perfect game thrown by an ACC pitcher (and the first since 1959) and only the eighth nine-inning perfect game in NCAA history. The Major League Draft in June saw 58 studentathletes from Atlantic Coast Conference schools selected, the third-most in conference history. Four ACC student-athletes – Virginia’s Hultzen (second
overall), Georgia Tech pitcher Jed Bradley (15th overall), Florida State’s Gilmartin (28th overall) and North Carolina shortstop Levi Michael (30th overall) – were selected in the first round. Multiple ACC players have been taken in 10 of the last 11 MLB Drafts, and at least 50 ACC players overall have been selected each of the last six years. Clemson’s Miller, Florida State’s Gilmartin, North Carolina’s Moran and Virginia’s Hultzen and Branden Kline were each named to at least one All-America first team, and four other players – Georgia Tech’s Mark Pope, Florida State’s Ramsey, and Virginia’s Roberts and John Hicks – were each named secondor third-team All-America by at least one publication.
NCAA ACTION Seven ACC teams earned spots in the 2011 NCAA Championship. It marked the sixth time in the last seven years that the ACC had placed at least seven teams among the 64team field. The conference boasted three of the top five national seeds, as Virginia was seeded No. 1 overall, North Carolina was at No. 3 and Florida State at No. 5. Those teams were joined in postseason play by Clemson, Georgia Tech, Miami and NC State. All three of the ACC’s nationally-seeded teams advanced to
Super Regional play, with Virginia and North Carolina moving on to the 65th College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. The Tar Heels’ trip to the College World Series was their ninth overall and their fifth in six years under head coach Mike Fox. Virginia made its second CWS trip to Omaha, both of which have come in the last three seasons. The ACC, which placed multiple teams to the College World Series for the fourth straight year and the fifth time in six seasons, has sent 14 teams to Omaha since 2006. North Carolina opened CWS play with a 7-3 loss to Vanderbilt but saw freshman Kent Emanuel blank Texas, 3-0, with a fourhit shutout in its second outing. Emanuel became the first since North Carolina’s Robert Woodard in 2006 to throw shutout in the College World Series, and the first freshman to do so since 1992. The Tar Heels bowed out of the CWS with a 5-1 loss to Vanderbilt in their third game. Virginia split four College World Series games, defeating California twice and falling twice to twotime CWS champion South Carolina. The Cavaliers (56-12) set a school record for wins in a season. Virginia pitcher Tyler Wilson enjoyed a week to remember in Omaha, earning Virginia’s first CWS win in relief on June 19, picking up the team’s second victory with 7.2 strong innings as a starter on June 23, and being announced as the Lowe’s Senior CLASS winner on June 24.

ACC COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
’ACC COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS’ COMPLETES SUCCESSFUL FIRST YEAR Conference initiative reached elementary & middle school students across four states and donated over 200 books in inaugural year. The Atlantic Coast Conference’s “Community Connections” program saw much success in its first year of implementation, sponsoring educational and mentoring activities and donating books in conjunction with 19 conference championships across four states. The program reached a dozen schools and youth programs across Georgia, Massachusetts, North Carolina and Virginia. “The ACC Community Connections initiative was created as a way for our student-athletes and member schools to give back to the communities that host ACC Championships,” stated Commissioner John Swofford. “In addition to teaching lessons of teamwork, adversity, competition, sportsmanship, triumph and defeat, it was a terrific opportunity for the student-athletes to serve as mentors and leaders throughout our league’s footprint.” The initiative aims to teach life lessons to elementary and middle school students in the communities in which the league holds its conference championships. This year, team representatives from ACC member institutions either traveled to elementary schools in the area or had schools and youth programs

The outreach sessions consisted of the reading of a book followed by a question-and-answer session with ACC team representatives. An educational handout was also distributed to the students that incorporated highlighted points of emphasis and quotations from the student-athletes. The handout also provided the opportunity to gain free or discounted admission to the respective championship. The league-wide initiative first launched at the 2010 ACC Cross Country Championships in Boston, Mass., with books being donated to Mather Elementary School in a presentation made at the Championships’ award ceremony. More than 200 books were donated throughout the year by the ACC and its member schools to elementary schools and organizations, including the Boys and Girls Club and YMCA. One of the final 2010-11 “Community Connections” sessions occurred at the 2011 ACC Baseball Championship at Durham Bulls Athletic Park in Durham, N.C., with approximately 4,000 local elementary and middle school students visiting the stadium over three days to participate in various activities with team representatives from six member schools. The schools and organizations involved in “ACC Community Connections” for 2010-11 were: Mather Elementary School (Boston, Mass.); Old Town Global Academy (Winston-Salem, N.C.); Kingswood Elementary School (Cary, N.C.); Neighborhood Charter School (Atlanta, Ga.); Hollymead Elementary School (Charlottesville, Va.); Margaret Beeks Elementary School (Blacksburg, Va.); Gilbert Linkous Elementary School (Blacksburg, Va.); Millis Road Elementary School (Greensboro, N.C.); Montgomery County Communities in Schools (N.C.); John Avery Boys and Girls Club (N.C.); Cary YMCA (Cary, N.C.); and Bright Futures Academy (Atlanta, Ga.).

ACC SPORTSMANSHIP
SPORTSMANSHIP INITIATIVES The Atlantic Coast Conference continues to implement various initiatives in Sportsmanship including the emphasis on the importance of good sportsmanship at every level of the Conference including student-athletes, coaches, officials, administrators, fans, friends and alumni. This past year the ACC reinforced the role of officiating in maintaining an atmosphere of good sportsmanship. The ACC continues to develop public service announcements emphasizing the role of respect and sportsmanship while participating in collegiate athletics. Educational emphasis with all of the ACC’s administrators, coaches and student-athletes was continued, and the league further refined a reporting and recording system to more accurately assess sportsmanship problems which might exist. For the 2010-11 year, the conference is proud to report 100% participation by the institutions.
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 • Georgia Tech 2006-07 • Boston College 2004-05 • Wake Forest 2007-08 • Virginia Tech 2005-06 • Wake Forest

The 2010-11 ACC Sportsmanship Team Award winner was the Florida State Men’s Track & Field team. Following two years of tense competition at the ACC Indoor Track & Field meets, the Florida State Seminoles Men’s Track & Field team gathered for a gesture of sportsmanship following their loss to the Virginia Tech Hokies. The team gathered for a post-meet handshake, a rare gesture in track & field, and congratulated their opponents on a hard fought victory.
On October 14, 2010, the Atlantic Coast Conference participated in a Days of Caring Project. Volunteers from the ACC went to Hospice of Greensboro’s Kid’s Path facility to take part in an outdoor beautification project. Volunteers, cleaned the creek, planted flowers and plants, and laid mulch around the Kid’s Path facility.

ACC INTER-INSTITUTIONAL ACADEMIC COLLABORATIVE 88
ACC MEETING OF THE MINDS CONFERENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI
The ACCIAC is a special commitment of the 12 university presidents and the conference office to enhance academic excellence. Funded by a portion of the revenues from the Dr Pepper Football Championship Game, the ACCIAC effort is to advance the quality of education for all undergraduate students by sharing academic and administrative resources and by hosting conferences that bring together students from all our campuses. Strategies for collaboration include conferences of students from all 12 universities, scholarship awards for international study and service, academic grants to competitively judged creative student projects, and exchanges of best practices among leaders with similar job responsibilities. New in Summer 2011 is the ACCIAC participation in Coach for College, a program enabling 63 athletic students from all ACC universities to serve for three weeks in Vietnam. While there these students, partnering with native instructors, through the teaching of sports motivate promising young people to advance their own education. Twenty-four of the student participants are funded by a $2500 per student grant from the ACCIAC and $1500 raised by each student participant. (The grants for the additional students are provided by several of the ACC presidents.) For more information, consult http://www. coachforcollege.org. In February 2011, sixty-seven student leaders, accompanied by leadership program directors, gathered at Georgia Tech for the Leadership for Social Responsibility Conference. Both President Bud Peterson and Vice President William Schafer participated in the conference. A dozen teams, membered by leaders from different universities, developed and presented social entrepreneur plans, each tackling a different social issue (e.g., poverty, hunger, human trafficking). Several of the teams are continuing toward implementation of their plans. In April, seventy-eight students, accompanied by undergraduate research directors and faculty, from 12 universities presented undergraduate research papers, both orally and as posters, at a conference. Organized by Michael Gaines and the University of Miami, the conference was enhanced by welcoming remarks from Provost Thomas LeBlanc, and keynote addresses by ACCIAC Advisory Committee Chairman William Scott Green as well as inter-disciplinary researcher, Neil Johnson. The NC State delegation was led energetically by George Barthalamus who died prematurely within a month after the conference. For many years George was a major architect and supporter of these conferences. His leadership is gratefully acknowledged. He will be missed! Seventy-two students (50% more than in past years due to a special one-year allocation of additional funds from the ACCIAC reserve) received scholarship awards

that helped make possible study abroad in 23 different countries: for example, environmental research and global health in Ecuador, James Joyce in Ireland, chemistry and religion in Chile, math in Hungary, etc. The stature of these all-ACC awards adds greatly to their significance and helps the awardees open doors when abroad. Individual students are featured in the ACCIAC Gallery at http://acciac.org/ under global scholarships. Final reports from the first year of our Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors Program chronicle impressive, amazingly diverse programs that are engaging our most talented undergraduate students. This $150,000 program is allowing each university, each year, to award between three and seven scholarships to enable students to pursue, independently and under faculty guidance, a creative or research project in their chosen discipline. Each university is responding to this opportunity in distinctive ways. Last year’s annual report cited Duke’s arts awards, Georgia Tech’s invention prizes, and Boston College’s rising senior projects. The grants at Miami and UNC focus upon community service and research, both at home and abroad. Maryland supports research teams. Virginia requires each researcher to provide a 3-minute video tape that describes the project and its significance. Another program piloted by four universities, involved teams-of-students researching global security and energy topics: “Global Energy and Security- A Research and Video Production Project” (4 students from Miami), “The Effects of Demographics Upon Global and Regional Security” (2 students from Boston College), “Central European Defense Policies and the Effects They Have on NATO” (3 students from Virginia Tech), and “Spent Nuclear Fuel: Evaluating Alternative Methods of Management” (2 students from NC State). Following a one year hiatus, several affinity groups (chief undergraduate education officers, chief international education officers) convened to share best practices and refine our collaborative programs. The VPs for Student Affairs met at a breakfast in conjunction with a national meeting, and the chief purchasing officers continued extensive use of their ACC listserv. After four years, the ACCIAC database that identified study abroad programs available at our 12 universities was discontinued: this information is more productively communicated on the individual websites and in a national database that includes hundreds of universities. In the upcoming academic year (2011-12) student conferences will be hosted by UNC (Student Leadership) and Virginia Tech (Undergraduate Research). 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.

The ACC Network branding was part of the new television rights agreements between the ACC, Raycom Sports and ESPN that begins with the 2011 Football season. Raycom Sports and the Conference moved to begin the branding during the final year of the existing contract. “Beginning to brand the ACC Network with the start of the first conference football game made great sense for our league, member schools, fans and partners,” said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. “It’s a great tribute to Raycom that we’re able to roll out this initiative a year
before the new contract begins.” “The establishment of the ACC Network brand was a natural step, given our longstanding syndication exclusivity with the Atlantic Coast Conference,” said Jimmy Rayburn, vice-president of operations for Raycom Sports. “Moving forward with our new rights agreement, we were already preparing the transition. But with the volume of media coverage already surrounding the conference’s new television rights agreement, it made perfect sense to capitalize on the public’s attention now with the ACC Network designation.”

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 legislative issues, but also to improve communication on campus among those who make decisions regarding proposed legislation and compliance issues. With the restructuring of the NCAA governance structure approximately four years ago, the focus has been to improve communications with ACC Governance groups. Summary reports from all NCAA Council and Cabinet 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 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 during the course of the year and in-person meetings. All compliance forms, as well as the ACC Manual, have been placed on the ACC online 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. The ACC’s total available funds for the newly combined Student Assistance Fund, was $3,516,563.00 of which the membership spent $3,215,990.65. 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 2011-12. We are currently in the third round of the conference compliance reviews. The ACC staff conducted the second bi-annual Summer Compliance Workshop in 2010-11. Approximately 110 individuals attended the two-day meeting, which was held in Greensboro, to discuss issues and share ideas specifically in the areas of the certification of continuing eligibility of studentathletes and managing financial aid for studentathletes. Compliance personnel, academic personnel, financial aid administrators, certifying officers and faculty athletics representatives were in attendance. This year’s workshop featured Paul Dee, former athletic director at the University of Miami, who spoke about his experiences as a former member and chair of the NCAA Committee on Infractions and focused on the importance of institutional control. In addition to the guest speaker, attendees heard presentations from NCAA staff as well as their peers. The next workshop will be held in the summer of 2013.
ACC STAFF CHANGES
ACC PER SCHOOL REVENUE DISTRIBUTION REMAINS SIGNIFICANT
Donald Moore Jr. joined the conference office as Assistant Director of Championships in July 2010. Moore had previously worked at the ACC as an intern.
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.
The ACC’s revenue distribution to member
schools continued to increase and still ranks as one of the highest in conference allocations to their institutions. Increases in revenue streams from football, men’s basketball, bowl contracts, and the NCAA increased in 2001-11 from the previous operating year. In addition, the Conference reimburses member schools for expenses related to their participation in all ACC championships. These amounts are not included in annual distribution reports for Conference institutions. The negotiation of a new 12-year television beginning in 2011-12 is now complete in with significant revenue increases and guarantees long-term financial stability for the Conference.
TRACKING TRADITION
COST CENTER BUDGETING SYSTEM The conference utilizes a 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. Revenue projections are also reviewed as part of the overall budget preparation process. The ACC Office continues to use a costcenter, 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.

2010-11 ACC ANNUAL REPORT
• 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, NC State, South Carolina and Wake Forest - drawing up the conference by-laws. 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.
