plus designated areas specifically designed for students, fans, children and donors. Four open-air suites also are planned.
ROSALIND SALLENGER RICHARDSON CENTER FOR THE ARTS
Wofford alumnus and Carolina Panthers founder and owner Jerry Richardson and his wife, Rosalind Richardson, helped turn the first shovels of dirt on May 12, 2015, to begin construction of the Rosalind Sallenger Richardson Center for the Arts at Wofford College during a groundbreaking ceremony. The 67,000-square-foot facility will house the college’s theatre and visual arts programs and will include a 300-seat performance hall along with a museum and a student gallery. It will feature two custom-made glass sculptures by internationally renowned artist Dale Chihuly. The Center for the Arts will feature a material pallet of masonry, stucco and copper. Large areas of glass will connect the interior to the outdoors, filling
art studios with natural light and creating transparency and openness between spaces and across an outdoor sculpture garden. Richardson, a 1959 Wofford graduate and member of the college’s board of trustees, provided the gift for the center in honor of his wife’s commitment and dedication to the arts.
GREEK VILLAGE
Greek life at Wofford College has a long and vibrant history, one steeped in tradition, philanthropy, fellowship, scholarship, leadership, and the ideals of brotherhood and sisterhood. Wofford’s fraternity houses were constructed in the mid-1950s and were filled with fond memories for students and alumni, but have served their purpose. They will be replaced with new, more serviceable spaces for North-American National Interfraternity Conference organizations and add options for National Panhellenic Conference and National Pan-Hellenic Council organizations. The Greek Village will be located across Evins Street from the main portion of campus and will be completed in the spring of 2016.

MR. RICHARDSON
Any tribute to the life and accomplishments of Jerry Richardson must include a strong emphasis on the word “teamwork.” Along every step of Richardson’s remarkable journey, he has relied on and been tremendously supported by a faithful group surrounding him, including family, coaches, teammates, business associates, and a close circle of personal friends for a lifetime. A large number of those connections are tied back to Wofford College, and for many years, Richardson has been quick to say that “without Wofford’s influence on my life, I would not have been able to accomplish what I have.” Jerry Richardson was born in July 1936 in Spring Hope, N.C., as an only child to George Bertram Richardson and Mary Williams Richardson, but considers nearby Fayetteville as his hometown. He became a star athlete at Fayetteville High School, befriended six men who would be lifelong friends, and was coached and mentored by Bob Prevatte, a 1950 Wofford graduate, whose influence on young Richardson would be profound. Upon graduating from Fayetteville High in 1954, Richardson accepted a $250 scholarship to Wofford College to play football, where his tireless work ethic and physical talent quickly caught the attention of Terrier coaches and fans. The three-time All-South Carolina, and two-time All-American, still holds school records for career touchdown receptions with 21, season touchdown receptions with 9, and most receiving yards in a game with 241. As a Wofford student-athlete, Richardson was selected to membership in Blue Key National Honor Fraternity and Scabbard and Blade, was a member of the Kappa Alpha fraternity and chaired the Interfraternity Council as well as being selected to Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities. Richardson earned All-America honors and attracted enough attention from pro scouts to be drafted by the Baltimore Colts of the National Football League prior to his senior season at Wofford, at which time he was Terrier team captain. He moved successfully into the NFL, enjoying two seasons with the Colts. He caught a game clinching touchdown pass in the 1959 championship game in which the victorious Colts became World Champions.
2015 Wofford Football Media Guide
By that time, Richardson had married his college sweetheart, Rosalind Sallenger of Florence, SC, and they were beginning to start their family, which ultimately would comprise sons Jon and Mark, and daughter Ashley. He made the decision not to return to the Colts for the 1960 season, choosing instead to join forces and invest his NFL championship bonus check with his quarterback at Wofford, Charlie Bradshaw, who had signed an agreement to open in Spartanburg the first franchise of Hardee’s Food Systems. Their first Hardee’s franchise opened on Kennedy Street in Spartanburg in October 1961, and a new company they named Spartan Food Systems was born. Over time, Richardson and Bradshaw recruited into their company a significant number of Wofford friends, former teammates and coaches, building a legendary team driven to be highly successful. Taking the company public in 1969, the team that Richardson and Bradshaw had formed was able to have their firm listed on the New York Stock Exchange before turning age 40, which had been an initial goal. The company grew into a Fortune 500 stalwart, with over 110,000 employees and interests in more than 2,500 restaurants and other holdings. With their phenomenal success came opportunities to expand the company, so they acquired the Quincy’s steakhouse chain in 1977, before joining forces with TW Corporation, a spinoff from Trans World Airlines. Eventually, under Richardson’s leadership, this new company included Canteen Corporation and the Denny’s restaurant chain. In 1993, a career-long dream on which Richardson had been actively working for seven years was realized when the investment team that he had put together was successful in earning the 29th franchise of the
NFL—the Carolina Panthers, to be headquartered in Charlotte. Richardson became the first former NFL player to become an owner since George Halas of the Chicago Bears. Vital to Richardson’s dream was for the franchise to be truly regionally supported, and central to that goal was to have the team’s summer preseason training camp to be located on the campus of his alma mater, Wofford. His service to Wofford has been never-ending. Currently, Richardson is in the middle of the third twelveyear term he has served on the Wofford Board of Trustees. He has been a major benefactor to every significant financial campaign at the college since graduating in 1959, and he and his family have established the most prestigious scholarships offered by the college, known as the Richardson Family Scholarships. The recognitions that Richardson has earned are numerous, but would include the Order of the Palmetto and the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, which are the two highest civic recognitions that the states of South Carolina and North Carolina, respectively, can bestow. He is also the only individual ever to be inducted into both the Business and Athletic Halls of Fame for these two states.
Wofford
THE STADIUM
Prior to the 1996 season, the Wofford football team played home games at Synder Field. The first football game was played at Synder Field in 1930, with lights installed for the 1948 season. With the move to NCAA Division I, a new football facility was a priority. Gibbs Stadium seats approximately 8,500 in grandstands, while an additional 4,500 seats are available in both endzones. The south endzone, known as the Verandah Lot, has become prime tailgating space for donors to the Terrier Club. The press box includes two radio booths, a television booth, scoreboard control room, plus two coaches boxes. A crows nest for videographers is also provided. On the second level, the Mungo Room is a hospitality suite that is available as the President’s Box on gameday and is used throughout the year as a meeting room. Architects for Gibbs Stadium were McMillan, Smith and Partners, while M.B. Kahn Construction was the general contractor. The overall budget for the project was approximately $4.5 million. In 2015, the playing surface was replaced. The facility was made possible with a gift from the Gibbs Foundation, along with support from federal economic development grants and Spartanburg County School District 7. Gibbs Stadium is the home of Wofford football, along with Spartanburg High School football and the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas. During the summer the facility has been used by the Carolina Panthers for training camp.
JIMMY AND MARSHA GIBBS
Wofford College’s football stadium, opened in October 1996, is named in honor of Jimmy and Marsha Gibbs, recognizing their long friendship with the college and lead gift of $1 million for the stadium project. Mr. Gibbs is president of Gibbs International of Spartanburg, the world’s largest dealer in pre-owned textile machinery. The Gibbs’ relationship with Wofford spans two generations. The late Melvin I. “Razor” Gibbs of the class of 1943 earned 16 varsity letters at Wofford as a student in the early 1940s and after World War II. In 1983, Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs established an endowed Jimmy and Marsha Gibbs football scholarship in his father’s memory. The Wofford Captain’s Council presented the Gibbs with its 2004 Distinguished Service Award. The Gibbs also received a Wofford Distinguished Service award from the Southern Conference in 2004. In 2008, the Gibbs, along with Ed Wile and Harold Chandler, announced a challenge gift of $1.5 million which was used to raise funds for endowed athletic scholarships. The Gibbs also provided the funding for the videoboard installed prior to the 2010 season.
The LED video board installed in 2010 is 57 feet wide and 22 feet tall, making it one of the largest video boards in all of college football.

Spartanburg
THE HUB CITY
The City’s origins predate the Revolutionary War. Spartanburg was named for a unit of American Revolution forces called the “Spartan Rifles” who helped defeat the British at the Battle of Cowpens in 1781, under the leadership of General Daniel Morgan. The town of Spartanburg was incorporated in 1831 and later as a city in 1880 by the 13 Original States and Tennessee. During this time Spartanburg was booming due in large part to the rapidly expanding textile industry. In the 1870s, Spartanburg became a railroad “hub city,” with mainline railroads extending from Magnolia Street depot in all directions, taking passengers and freight to Charleston, Augusta, Atlanta, Asheville, Charlotte and points beyond. As many as 90 trains per day could be seen and heard operating in Spartanburg during the golden age of the American railroad, 1900-20. During the 1920s, Spartanburg built South Carolina’s first municipal airport and claimed the state’s first commercial radio station (WSPA). Its leadership in the state was reflected by the election of several residents as governor. Thousands of U.S. soldiers bound for overseas service in World Wars I and II trained at camps in Spartanburg. The post headquarters for Camp Wadsworth (1917-19) was located at the present site of WestGate Mall, and the Camp Croft (1940-45) was located south of the city. Much of that military reservation has become Croft

State Park. After World War II, Spartanburg made a concerted effort to promote its location at the junction of Interstates 85 and 26 to international business. One of the greatest successes of this campaign was the development of the BMW manufacturing center near the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport. Spartanburg’s downtown, which always has been anchored by the campuses of Wofford and Converse Colleges, has been undergoing a major revival since the mid-1990s. In addition to the corporate headquarters for Denny’s, Advance America, QS-1 and several other companies, the city has acquired a magnificant public library, the Marriott Hotel at Renaissance Park and most recently, the Chapman Arts Center and the USC Upstate George Dean Johnson School of Business. The area surrounding Morgan Square gradually is redeveloping with a variety of interesting restaurants and urban apartment-style housing. Throughout the 20th century, textile manufacturing companies formed the backbone of the Spartanburg
economy. The most significant of these companies still in operation is internationally respected Milliken & Company. Blessed by geography and climate as well as by energetic and well-educated citizenry, Spartanburg is emerging as one of the centers of a 21st century metroplex that extends along the South Carolina portion of the I-85 corridor.
Wofford Football A-Z
STERLING ALLEN Allen, a native of Florence, S.C. (McGlenaghan High School) was one of Wofford’s top linemen in the early 1970s. Allen earned second team NAIA All-America honors at guard in 1969 and was named Little All-America in 1969 and in 1970 as a guard. He was selected to the AFCA All-America team in 1970 as a guard. Allen helped the ALMA MATER Terriers to an 11-1 record as a senior. Wofford won 20 On the city’s northern border, consecutive games during his final two years and were Reared against the sky, ranked number one in the nation in the NAIA poll. Allen Proudly stands our Alma Mater, was named Wofford’s best blocker at the 1969 football As the years go by. banquet. He was a unanimous selection to the 1969 May it ever be our watchword, all-district team. Finished the ’70 season ranked fourth “Conquer and Prevail.” in the nation after losing in the championship game to Hail to thee our Alma Mater, Texas A&I. In 1983, Allen was chosen to Wofford’s All-Time Dear old Wofford, hail. Football team as an offensive lineman. AUBURN In what many people call the biggest win in school history, Wofford defeated Auburn 19-14 on Sept. 22, 1950 in Montgomery. The Terriers, a five-touchdown underdog, turned three Auburn fumbles into touchdowns with 19-year old sophomore quarterback Bobby McLellan scoring two touchdowns and passing for another. The game-winning score came early in the fourth period with Auburn holding a 14-13 lead. Dennis Barbare set it up with “one of the best catches I have ever seen,” according to Coach Phil Dickens. Barbare’s 17-yard catch from Bobby Starnes put the ball at the 2-yard line, and McLellan scored from there. The victory celebration just before midnight involved about 100 Wofford students and fans in the traffic circle on Morgan Square. They cheered, blew car horns and bugles and finished by singing the alma mater. BOSS THE TERRIER The fearless leader of the Terriers, Boss (short for Boston Terrier) has entertained Wofford fans
since 2001 at football, basketball and baseball contests. Boss is also the only mascot with his own holiday, October 16. That is National Boss’ Day (well, maybe it’s not just for him but he celebrates it anyway). Boss also participated in the Carolina Panthers “Mascot Mania” football game halftime show at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte in 2006. Formerly known as Big Ruff, the mascot became known as Boss in 2001. His sister, Terri, is also on the sidelines of Wofford events to entertain youngsters. JIM BRAKEFIELD Brakefield enjoyed great success as both the head football coach and head baseball coach at Wofford. He served 14 years as the head baseball coach and was Wofford’s winningest ever baseball coach with a career record of 128-70. Brakefield spent 14 years as an assistant football coach before becoming Wofford’s head football coach in 1967 and served in that role for five years, going 28-16 and leading the Terriers to the NAIA National Championship game in 1970. He left Wofford following the 1970 season and became the head football coach at Appalachian State. Brakefield is credited with installing the Wingbone offense at Wofford, a hybrid of the Wishbone. Brakefield served four years in the Navy during World War II and won two Distinguished Flying Crosses while making 49 combat missions as a torpedo plane pilot. He remained in the Naval Reserve until 1967 as a captain. HAROLD CHANDLER Chandler, a native of Belton, S.C., was Wofford’s starting quarterback in 1969 and 1970 and threw for 3,039 yards in his career. As a junior in 1969, he completed 69 of 133 passes for 1,133 yards and 10 touchdowns. As a senior, Chandler hit on 113 of 190 passing attempts for 1,610 yards and 11 touchdowns. He was an all-state selection in 1970 and a Phi Beta Kappa inductee. In 1983, Chandler was chosen to Wofford’s All-Time Football team as a quarterback. He currently serves as Chairman of the Wofford College Board of Trustees. CIGAR BOWL The only bowl game that Wofford has appeared in is the 1949 Cigar Bowl. Played in Tampa, Florida, the Cigar Bowl pitted the 11-0 Terriers against Florida State on January 2, 1950. Wofford had a 23-game unbeaten streak, built upon the shoulders of a mix of World War II veterans who had returned to college and a bunch of 18-year old freshmen. The Terriers departed for Tampa on Dec. 28 and pulled into Waycross, Georgia to scrimmage and spend the night before continuing

ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE Wofford’s football program was ranked among the top 10 percent of FCS teams in the Academic Performance Review (APR) in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2012, 2013 and 2014 to earn public recognition. In 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014, Wofford was honored by the FCS ADA for the highest APR in the Southern Conference. The Terriers lead the SoCon with 134 Southern Conference Fall All-Academic Team selections since the program started in 2003. Wofford has had at least one player named to the CoSIDA/Capital One All-District Team since 2000, with four players earning Academic All-America honors. James Zotto was the latest to be recognized in 2013.
THE TERRIER SCULPTURE
A sculpture of a Terrier was unveiled on March 25, 2008 outside of the Student Life Building as a gift to Wofford College from the Class of 1956. The following is the text of an address given by Talmage Boyd Skinner, Jr., 1956, Chaplain Emeritus of Wofford College on the dedication. The mascot of a college should, in large measure, represent the character of the place. In this Palmetto State, we are surrounded by a bevy of mascots. There are Gamecocks and Tigers, Bulldogs and a Rooster named Chanticleer, Indians, Paladins, Cougars, Valkyries, and one school has a sock for an ensign. There are Trojans, Pioneers, and Spartans, and various Cats and feathered creatures. In all the land, only two other schools are Terriers. Some will laugh when we affirm that we are the only true Terriers. Some chuckle when we are audacious enough to claim to be unique and even superior in so many aspects of being a college. The most arrogant of us will admit that there are many good colleges. We have even tried to copy some. I have always been a bit uncomfortable when we talk of another school being a – “flagship” that we need to emulate. Hey! We ARE the flagship! Forgive the pride of some old guys who have loved this little school for over half a century. Yes, we did not come to Wofford just to purchase an education; we joined Wofford. We were adopted into the family with a bond that cannot be broken. Many colleges claim to be family. We truly are. Ours is a bond of shared experience hammered out on the playing fields against foes our size and those with more students than we have living alumni. It does not stop with athletics. The term “student athlete” has authenticity at Wofford. The bond is from a shared academic experience that is not content just to pass on socalled facts, but prepares students to think and to continue to grow. The “proof of the pudding” is in the doctors, lawyers, college presidents and professors, teachers, coaches, leaders in business and service - even in the ministry of the Church. A bond is created in the experience of the arts the theater program, choral music, strings. One thing we lack - a band - not just the band class that plays well once or twice a year, but a BAND for spirit and musical experience. A bond is created through service programs and the physical arts witnessed by so many exhibitions on campus. Not the least is a religious life program that is open and tolerant, that walks with students seeking answers and helps them first learn to ask questions. We, the Class of 1956 present this Terrier to our college as a symbol of Wofford Spirit in all aspects of this place like no other. We want to add to the tradition of this sacred ground. We want to remind the present Wofford that there is a past on which she stands and remind all of us that it all will be forgotten if we do not have a vision for the future. Our goal should be deeper than the usual quest for reputation, wealth, and prestige. Dr. Dunlap has always called Wofford a “kingdom of the just.” May that ever be our watchword. It may be a simple, unsophisticated phrase, but we are called not to be powerful, but good. As the prophet Micah said, “What does the Lord require of you but to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God.” The Class of 1956 proudly and humbly presents this physical representation of the Spirit of Wofford College and all those members of our family who ever lived or presently live on the “City’s Northern Border,” and all who are yet to dwell in the shadow of the Twin Towers.

on to Tampa. An exhausting scrimmage in Waycross may have led the Terriers dropping a 19-6 decision to the Seminoles in what was clearly an upset. FISHER DeBERRY A 1960 Wofford graduate, DeBerry was the head coach at the Air Force Academy for 23 seasons from 1984-2006. The Cheraw, SC native compiled a record of 169-109-1, the winningest mark in AFA history. During his coaching career, he received numerous awards including the 2001 State Farm Coach of Distinction Award. DeBerry was the 1985 National Coach of the Year and earned conference coach of the year honors in 1985, 1995 and 1998 while leading the Falcons to 14 Commander in Chief trophies and a 35-11 record against Army and Navy. DeBerry was a Wofford assistant football coach in the 1969-70 seasons as the Terriers advanced to the 1970 NAIA national championship game. He also coached the Terrier baseball team in 1970. In 2011, he became the first Wofford alumnus to be honored with a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame. PHIL DICKENS Wofford’s head coach from 1947-52, “Phantom” Phil Dickens compiled a record of 40-16-7, a winning percentage of .691. Dickens came to Wofford from Tennessee where he had played for General Bob Neyland. Highlights of the Dickens era included five straight ties to open the 1948 season (a national record); an undefeated 11-0 regular season in 1949 followed by a trip to the Cigar Bowl in Tampa; a 19-14 upset of Auburn in the 1950 season opener and the Terriers’ first victory over Furman in 35 years in 1951. After the 1952 season, Dickens moved to the University of Wyoming, where he was successful from 1953-57, and later, he was a respected head football coach and athletics administrator at Indiana. AUBREY FAUST Aubrey Faust ‘43 was the first Terrier to earn All-America honors. He played end on the 1942 squad that posted a 2-5 record for Coach Ted Petoskey. The Terriers did not have a football team for the
THE CAROLINA PANTHERS
The Carolina Panthers have held training camp at Wofford since their inaugural season in 1995 and it will be held on campus until at least 2019. The camp provides Wofford tremendous national exposure and visibility. Media members that visit Wofford during the camp include ESPN, Fox Sports, NFL Network, USA Today and Sports Illustrated. Local print and television media from markets including Columbia, Charlotte, Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, Asheville and Greensboro/ Winston-Salem are on campus on a daily basis. According to SI.com’s Tim Layden, “as I like to think of it: Training Camp Heaven. Wofford is 70 miles west of Charlotte on I-85, and presents all the reasons why there is something special about taking the team on the road for camp. Three pristine, Bermuda-grass fields with a stand of tall pines on two sides and a steep hillside -- where fans sit and watch -- on another. Fans, many of them young boys and girls, lined up along the fence, getting autographs after practice. It’s a scene straight out of football’s past.”

next three seasons due to World War II. Faust was killed in action at Normandy. FROG REAMES Carroll F. Reames ‘26 played quarterback for the Terriers. During the 1920’s, most football teams lined up in a double wing or spread formation. Just before the snap of the ball, the backs went through a series of movements to confuse the defense. As he moved, Reames gave an odd little jump that gave him his life-long nickname, “Frog.” FIRST GAME Wofford played the first college football game in South Carolina on December 14, 1889. Wofford defeated Furman 5-1 in a game that featured “no uniforms for its players, no positions and rules formulated before the game.” According to Wofford alumnus G. Rouqie ‘91 in the January 1890 issue of the Old Gold and Black, the game “last one hour and half, with two fifteen-minute rests, and was won by ease by Wofford, the score being five to one. The visiting team (Furman) left on the afternoon train wiser and sadder men.” ISAAC GOODPASTER A Wofford wide receiver from 1999-2002, Goodpaster led the Terriers in receiving as a junior when he caught 25 passes for 422 yards and two touchdowns. His career statistics of 30 catches for 472 yards are not remarkable. But Goodpaster became an outstanding collegiate football player despite being legally blind. Isaac was diagnosed with Stargardt’s disease, a genetic disorder that caused his eyesight to range from 20/200 to 20/400. His outstanding talent and ability to overcome attracted the attention of such national media outlets as The New York Times and CBS’“The Early Show.”
Wofford Football A-Z
HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE Since the Terriers moved into Gibbs Stadium for the 1996 season, Wofford has enjoyed a tremendous home field advantage. In the 19 seasons, Wofford has a .730 winning percentage. Also, the Terriers have posted winning home records in 16 of the 19 seasons. JACOBS BLOCKING TROPHY Initiated in 1933 by Dr. William P. Jacobs, this award is given annually to the top blockers in the Southern Conference, Southeastern Conference, and the Atlantic Coast Conference. Four Wofford players have been honored with the Jacobs Blocking Trophy. Blocking back Bob Prevatte won the award in 1949 as he helped the Terriers post an 11-1 record and earn a berth in the Cigar Bowl in Tampa, Florida. In 2003, offensive tackle Eric Deutsch received the SoCon’s Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the Terriers won the Southern Conference championship. In 2010, offensive guard Pat Illig took home the honor as the team won the SoCon title and finished with a 10-3 mark. All-American offensive guard Nate Page was the recipient of the 2011 award. LAST LAP The Last Lap is a Wofford football tradition initiated by head coach Mike Ayers when he arrived on campus. Following the final practice of the season, the returning players line up in the end zone and watch as their senior teammates make a final lap around the field. BRETT MASTERS Masters is second in career tackles for Wofford football and the career home run leader in baseball. A native of Anderson, S.C., he totaled 411 tackles (1985-88), which was surpassed in 203 by Matt Nelson with 452. He also owns two of the three highest single-season tackle totals, including 207 in 1987 when he received all-state, all-district, and All-America honors. Masters slugged 51 home runs during his time on the diamond at Law Field. He held four single-season school records and two career marks at the time of his graduation. MONTANA In the Terriers’ second trip to the NCAA FCS Playoffs, Wofford faced undefeated Montana at Washington-Grizzly Stadium. Temperature at kickoff was 13 degrees, the lowest ever for a Wofford game. As time expired, the Terriers advanced with a 23-22 victory. JERRY RICHARDSON Jerry Richardson came to Wofford in the mid-1950s as an unheralded pass receiver from Fayetteville, N.C. By the time he left to begin his pro career with the Baltimore Colts, the passing combination of Charlie Bradshaw to Jerry Richardson had received nationwide fame. Richardson was an Associated Press Little All-America selection in 1957 and ‘58. He still holds Wofford’s single-game record with 241 receiving yards vs. Newberry in 1956 and is the record holder for touchdown receptions in a season (9 in 1958) and in a career (21). Drafted by the defending world champion Colts, Richardson played two seasons
in the NFL, earning Colt Rookie of the Year honors in 1959 and finishing third in the balloting for top NFL rookie. As a senior at Wofford, he scored 72 points on nine touchdowns, 12 extra points and two field goals. Richardson calls his greatest honor being elected team captain in 1958. In 1983, he was chosen to Wofford’s All-Time Football team as a receiver. He is currently the owner of the Carolina Panthers.

At 2012 2 349.7 one point during the mid-1950s, the Terriers won 2013 5 269.9 nine straight games against Southern Conference 2014 3 296.7 opponents. Snidow served as Wofford’s head football coach from 1953-66 and was the Terriers’ winningest coach with 77 wins at the time of his retirement. He posted a career record of 77-59-4 and introduced the Split-T offense, an attack that would be the rage of major college football 20 years later. TERRIERS Wofford’s nickname dates back to the early 1910’s when Professor E.H. Shuler recalled seeing a terrier named Jack at Wofford baseball games. A cartoon showing a Jack-like dog doing gymnastics appeared in a Wofford Journal about the same time. By 1914 when football resumed after an 11-year absence at Wofford, the nickname Terrier was firmly established for the college’s athletic teams. Wofford has had a number of real life mascots including Spike in the mid-50s and Jocko in the early 1960s. Most Wofford Terriers have been Boston Terriers which have a smooth black coat with white markings on the face, neck, chest, legs and feet. They usually pack a muscular 20 pounds on a foot-high frame. “Magnolia,” owned by Leah Harris ‘05 of Atlanta, Ga., assumed the role of “Blitz III”, the official Wofford Terrier mascot, beginning in the 2014 football season.

LEE HANNING After twenty years, Lee Hanning retired from his duties as kicking coach following the 2009 season. Under Hanning’s tutelage, two Wofford punters signed National Football League contracts. Jimmy Miner inked a deal with the St. Louis Rams in April 2004 after being a four-time All-SoCon selection. Brandon Kale signed with the Carolina Panthers in 2000. A World War II veteran, Hanning was a member of the 101st Airborne Division. He parachuted onto Utah Beach in Normandy on D-Day and also participated in the Battle of the Bulge. The 1998 Honorary Letterman by the Wofford College Athletic Hall of Fame, Hanning received a Distinguished Service Award from the Wofford Captain’s Council in 1993 and the prestigous Algernon Sidney Sullivan Award in 2010. He and his late wife, Barbara established the Barbara Jean and Lee Hanning Endowed Scholarship at Wofford, which supports student-athletes on the women’s golf team. Hanning passed away in October of 2014.
TERRIER CLUB The Terrier Club is Wofford’s fundraising organization for athletics. Organized in 1946 by a group of interested friends and alumni, the original name was the Eleven Club. It evolved into the present-day Terrier Club and has since grown into an organization that raised $1,819,450 in 2014 for scholarship support. JAMES TRENTINI An offensive lineman for Wofford, James Trentini ’59 became a successful educator and football coach in his native Massachusetts. After he retired from his career in education, he and his wife Mary enjoyed traveling. They were flying to California to visit their daughter Patti when they boarded American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles on Sept. 11, 2001. UNIFORMS Wofford Gold, the color of the Wofford jerseys in the 1950s, came about when a dye manufacturer mismixed some of his colors. Jerseys were dyed and sent out to Wofford before the mistake was discovered. The manufacturers offered to send new jerseys free of charge but head coach Phil Dickens liked the new color and decided to adopt it as his standard gold jersey. The manufacturers put it on the market as Wofford Gold and several large universities used the new shade. In 2006, SI.com, the website for Sports Illustrated, ranked the ten best uniforms in college

football. The Wofford uniform was ranked sixth in the nation and was one of only three FCS teams included on the list. Texas, Michigan, Auburn, Yale and Notre Dame made up the top five. WILLIE VARNER A 1952 Wofford graduate, Willie Varner became one of the legendary high school coaches in South Carolina. A native of Spartanburg, Varner was a member of the 1949 Terrier football team that posted an 11-0 record before being upset by Florida State in the 1950 Cigar Bowl. During a long tenure at Woodruff High School, Varner became the second-winningest high school football coach in South Carolina prep history with an all-time record of 383-132-10 in 43 years. His 10 state championships are tied for the most in state history with Summerville’s John McKissick. BEN WOFFORD Born on October 19, 1780, Benjamin Wofford rode a Methodist circuit as a lay exhorter in 1806 and 1807 in western Kentucky, but soon returned to South Carolina in that year to marry Anna Todd. With the death of her father in 1809, he inherited control of the Todd family farm in the southern part of Spartanburg County. Ordained in 1814, he served as an itinerant for only three years. The life of the traveling minister making it difficult to run a farm, he ceased to be a traveling preacher in 1820. A year after the death of Anna Todd Wofford in 1835, he married Maria Barron. His business interests and their diminished enthusiasm for rural life led them to move to the village, at the corner of present-day Magnolia and St. John Streets. There he continued to invest conservatively and live simply until his death on December 2, 1850. Wofford’s will provided $100,000 for the establishment of a college for literary, classical, and scientific education in Spartanburg, to be under the control and management of the state’s Methodist Conference. Within four years of Benjamin Wofford’s death, the trustees he named took the money he bequeathed, secured a charter, bought land, built a college and five houses for professors, hired a faculty, and opened its doors. JEFF ZOLMAN Wofford’s starting quarterback from 2002-04, Zolman compiled a career record of 26-6 as a starter. He led the Terriers to an undefeated conference record and the 2003 Southern Conference football championship. Zolman also guided the Terriers to two postseason wins in 2003 and the national semifinals of the Football Championship Subdivision.
What is a Representative of Athletics Interests (Booster/Donor)? All alumni, friends, and employees of the College are categorized as ‘representatives of athletics interest.’ The NCAA stipulates that once an individual has been identified as a ‘representative’ or “booster/donor” he/she retains this status forever even if the individual is no longer associated with the athletics program. Furthermore the NCAA states that it is possible for a person to be a representative of more than one institution at the same time. A representative of athletics interest may not: • Contact a prospect’s coach, principal or counselor in an effort to evaluate a prospect • Visit the prospect’s institution to pick up film or transcripts • Contact a prospect, his/her parents, legal guardians or spouse on or off campus • Contact a prospect by telephone or letter • Make special arrangements to entertain a recruit • Provide extra benefits to a prospect, student-athlete or the parents, family and/or guardians of the prospects or student-athletes

THE 2015 SEASON
After last season in which Wofford was 6-5 overall and 4-3 in the Southern Conference for a fourth place finish, the Terriers look to get back to the top of the standings in 2015. The schedule of eleven games includes six at Gibbs Stadium and a pair of contests against FBS teams at Clemson and at Idaho. Wofford is returning a total of 21 starters from last season and 52 lettermen overall. Among the 21 returning starters are ten on offense and nine on defense. In addition, 12 other players with starts are returning for the Terriers. Head Coach Mike Ayers returns for this 28th season as head coach. He has guided the Terriers in the transition from the NAIA to the NCAA FCS and along the way won four Southern Conference titles. Wofford has posted a winning record in 19 seasons with Ayers at the helm, including 13 of the last 16 campaigns. Each year, the goals are simple for Ayers and his players: win the Southern Conference, get into the playoffs, and reach for a national championship. After not accomplishing those milestones last season, the Terriers look to reach all three goals in 2015.
SPECIAL TEAMS
The special teams unit will see numerous returners this season. David Marvin will handle kickoffs and field goals, and can fill in at punter. Brian Sanders punted 30 times last season and will be back in that role. Sanders will also serve as the holder. Ben Bruggeworth and Michael Sarafianos each handled kickoffs in 2014 and return to the squad. With the graduation of Michael Comer, the long snapping role goes to Jake Brogdon, however several other players are capable of working in that position. The return game always keeps things exciting, as numerous players can contribute. On kickoff returns, Nick Colvin and Lorenzo Long return after combining to take 28 of the 38 kickoffs last season. The primary punt returners will be Will Gay and Nick Colvin, however several freshman could be in the mix.

MIKE AYERS Head Coach 28th Season Georgetown (Ky.) ‘74 Now entering his 28th season, the leader of the Wofford football program is head coach Mike Ayers. For more than a quarter century, Ayers has guided the Terriers from the NAIA and NCAA Division II ranks to Division I and the Southern Conference. Along the way, the team made appearances in the Division II Playoffs in 1990 and 1991, the Division I FCS Playoffs in 2003, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, and 2012, and claimed Southern Conference titles in 2003, 2007, 2010, and 2012. The story of Mike Ayers as head coach at Wofford began in 1988. A program that had a proud history, with bowl game appearances and wins over Southeastern Conference teams on its resume, had fallen on hard times. The 1987 team had gone 1-10, been shutout twice and scored just 87 points in 11 games while surrendering more than 26 points per game. Enter Mike Ayers. The young, energetic coach had built East Tennessee State into a Southern Conference contender and had knocked off Atlantic Coast Conference opponent North Carolina State in 1987. Over milkshakes at the Biltmore Dairy Bar in Asheville, N.C., Wofford Athletic Director Danny Morrison and President Joe Lesesne discussed the

opportunity with Ayers. A few days later, he was introduced as head coach. Ayers’ impact on the Terriers was immediate. He transformed that 1-10 Wofford team into a .500 squad in 1988 and then led the Terriers to an NCAA Division II playoff berth in 1990. Now, in his 28th season, Ayers is the head coach of a Terrier team that, over the last decade, has been the epitome of success within the Southern Conference. Since the start of the 2002 season, Wofford has posted a 101-54 overall record, a winning percentage of .651 that only three-time national champion Appalachian State has bettered. In the past eight seasons, the team has reached the FCS Playoffs five times. Wofford players have been named as SoCon Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year and taken the Jacobs Blocking Trophy home twice as well. Ayers is the longest-serving head coach of any sport in school history. Gene Alexander coached Terrier basketball for 19 seasons from 1958-77. Among active FCS coaches, Ayers ranks fourth in wins with 193 in his career, 182 of which were earned at Wofford. He leads coaches in the state of South Carolina in longevity and victories. For 27 seasons, Ayers has instilled his own intensity, character and pride into his teams. He has recruited the type of student-athletes that fit the academic profile of Wofford (the college has a mid 50% score of 1110-1260 on the SAT). WOFFORD Last season, the Terriers were 6-5 overall and 4-3 in the Southern Conference to finish fourth. The team was 3-1 in the league before back-to-back road losses to Chattanooga and Furman to begin the month of November. A home win over Mercer in the final game of the regular season secured a winning record overall and in the SoCon. Seven student-athletes were named All-Southern Conference, including Anton Wahrby, Tarek Odom, and T.J. Chamberlin on the first team. Kevin Thomas and David Marvin were named Academic All-District. In 2013, Wofford posted a 5-6 overall record. The team was 4-4 in the Southern Conference to finish tied for fourth place in the standings. After starting the season with conference wins over The Citadel, Georgia Southern, Elon, and Western Carolina, the Terriers struggled down the stretch and lost four straight games. The team was fifth in the nation in rushing offense. Six student-athletes were named All-Southern Conference, including Jared Singleton, Tarek Odom, and Alvin Scioneaux on the first team. Scioneaux signed as a rookie free agent with the San Diego Chargers and Kasey Redfern signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Terriers were 9-4 in 2012, earning a share of the Southern Conference Championship and reaching the NCAA quarterfinals. The team started the season
Coaching Staff Georgia Southern. Despite falling behind 20-3 in the first half, Wofford rallied in the second half but were defeated 23-20 to end the season. The Terriers led the nation in rushing at 297.77 yards per game and were seventh in the nation in total defense. In the conference, Wofford was first in rushing offense, first in total defense and first in pass defense. Eric Breitenstein, Pat Illig and Ameet Pall were named All-Americans, as Breitenstein set a school single-season rushing mark and Pall finished second in the voting for the Buck Buchanan Award. Five players earned All-SoCon honors and Ayers was named Coach of the Year by the media. In 2009, a young squad combined with several key injuries impacted the overall and conference records. Two losses were to South Florida and Wisconsin, teams that advanced to FBS bowls at the end of the season. The team did have two wins in conference play over Western Carolina and The Citadel, however the record of 2-6 was eighth in the Southern Conference. Despite the record, the Terriers had three players named All-Conference. Nationally, the Wofford offense was ranked second in rushing at 270.18 yards per game and the offenive line allowed only nine sacks, the fifth-fewest in the nation. The 2008 season saw the Terriers reach the NCAA FCS Playoffs for the second straight season and finish second in the Southern Conference with a 7-1 mark. Wofford opened the season with two wins before a close loss at South Carolina. After a thrilling 38-37 overtime win at Georgia Southern, the Terriers put together three straight wins over Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Elon by scoring 42 points or more in all three games to improve to 6-1. Wofford suffered a setback during a Friday night game televised nationally on ESPN2 at Appalachian State, but rebounded and posted three straight wins over The Citadel, Samford and Furman to complete the regular season with a 9-2 mark. In the NCAA Playoffs, the Terriers were sent on the road for the first round against top-ranked James Madison and were defeated 38-35. At the end of the season, the Terriers had the nation’s second-ranked rushing offense with 339.75 yards per game and the second-ranked total offense in the nation with 467.17 yards per game. Nine student-athletes earned All-Southern Conference honors, while Derek Wooten and Dane Romero both were named All-Americans. In the final polls, Wofford was ranked as high as eighth in the nation. In 2007, Wofford reached the top of the Southern Conference for the second time in five years by claiming the league title. The Terriers were 6-1 early in the season, with a lone loss to ACC-foe North Carolina State. The wins included battles on the road against Furman and The Citadel, and a historic home win over defending National Champion Appalachian State. The top-ranked Mountaineers had earlier defeated Michigan in a game that was the talk of the nation. Despite late-season home losses to Elon and Georgia Southern, the Terriers were able to take road wins at Western Carolina and Chattanooga. The win at Chattanooga

5-0, which included SoCon wins over Elon and Furman. A loss at Georgia Southern was followed by a 38-28 win at Appalachian State and a 24-21 win over The Citadel to improve to 7-1. Samford defeated Wofford in double overtime, but the Terriers rebounded with a 16-13 overtime victory over Chattanooga to claim a fourth Southern Conference title. Against South Carolina, the game was tied at seven heading into the fourth quarter before the Gamecocks scored 17 unanswered points. In the second round of the NCAA FCS Playoffs, the Terriers put up 479 total yards in a 23-7 home win over New Hampshire. At North Dakota State in the quarterfinals, Wofford was defeated 14-7 by the eventual national champions. In the final statistical rankings, the Terriers were second in the nation in rushing offense and ninth in total defense. Eric Breitenstein was named Southern Conference Offensive Player of the Year for the second straight season and finished third in the voting for the Walter Payton Award. Nine players earned All-Southern Conference honors. In the 2011 season, Wofford posted an 8-4 overall record to reach the NCAA FCS Playoffs for the second straight season. The team opened with a win at Presbyterian, which was followed by a loss at Clemson in which the Terriers had a lead late in the third quarter. The Terriers won four of the next five games before a loss at Furman. Two more SoCon wins had Wofford tied for the conference lead, but a home loss to Georgia Southern ended the chance for a title. In the season finale, the Terriers scored twice in the final eight minutes at Chattanooga to take a 28-27 win and secure an at-large bid to the playoffs. The Terriers traveled to Northern Iowa to face the second-ranked Panthers in the second round of the playoffs. Despite rushing for 457 yards, three turnovers and penalties resulted in a 28-21 loss. At the end of the season, Wofford led the nation in rushing at 364.58 yards per game and were seventh in the nation in total offense. In the conference, Wofford was first in total offense and second in total defense. Eric Breitenstein, Nate Page, Alvin Scioneaux, and Eric Eberhardt were named All-Americans. Breitenstein was the SoCon Offensive Player of the Year and Page earned the Jacobs Blocking Trophy. Eight different players earned All-SoCon honors. Mitch Allen was named the FCS Athletic Directors Association Student-Athlete of the Year for his performance on the field and in the classroom. The “Road to Redemption” was the theme for the 2010 season as the Terriers rebounded with a 10-3 overall record, a share of the Southern Conference championship, and a win in the NCAA FCS Playoffs. After opening the season with a loss at Ohio, Wofford won eight straight games and had a 6-0 mark in league play. The winning streak was tied for the second longest under Coach Ayers at Wofford. Despite a loss at Appalachian State, the Terriers defeated Chattanooga 45-14 in the final regular season game to clinch a share of the regular season title for the third time in eight years. Wofford was sent on the road in the second round of the NCAA Playoffs and came away with a 17-14 win over Jacksonville State. In the quarterfinals, the Terriers hosted

ensured Wofford a share of the conference title. After the day’s slate of games played out, the Terriers secured the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Playoffs. In the NCAA Playoffs, the Terriers were given the task of traveling to Montana in the first round. The bitter cold did not deter Wofford, as the Terriers were down 16-10 in the fourth quarter. Wofford took the lead at 17-16 on a six-yard touchdown pass to Andy Strickland on fourth down. The Grizzlies added a touchdown, but missed the two-point conversion. Wofford took a 23-22 lead with 32 seconds left on a touchdown by Michael Hobbs. A missed field goal as time expired by Montana advanced Wofford to the second round. At home against Richmond, the Terriers had a 10-7 lead in the third quarter, however gave up 14 points in the fourth quarter and were defeated 21-10. Following the season, the Terriers were ranked as high as #6 in the nation with a 9-4 record. Seven Terriers earned All-Southern Conference honors, while Ayers was named Southern Conference Co-Coach of the Year by the league’s coaches. The 2006 season was another example of Ayers’ coaching mastery. The 7-4 final record did not accurately reflect how well the Terriers played throughout the season. On Sept. 16, Wofford trailed South Carolina 27-20 with 30 seconds to play. The Terriers had the ball at the Gamecock 10 and faced a fourth down with an excellent opportunity to score and knot the game. Only a spectacular defensive play by USC kept the Gamecocks from falling to the Terriers in Williams-Brice Stadium. The loss to South Carolina was one of three early season defeats as Wofford started a grueling schedule with a 1-3 mark. But The Terriers were able to regain their momentum and finished the season with five straight wins and victories in six of their final seven games. Wofford finished the season with a national ranking of 23 from both the coaches and the media. Ranked among the top-20 teams in the country in the 2005 preseason poll, Wofford held the nation’s second-longest active streak for consecutive rankings in the Division I-AA Top 25 poll. Wofford appeared in 38 consecutive polls starting Oct. 21, 2002 before falling out at midseason in 2005 as the squad finished the season 6-5. Katon Bethay was named the Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Year. During the 2004 season, the Terriers posted an 8-3 record. Eric Deutsch and Lee Basinger were both named Associated Press All-Americans following the season. Ayers led the 2003 Wofford football team to its first SoCon championship. With the Terriers picked to finish fifth in a preseason poll by the league coaches and having no players being named first team preseason All-SoCon, Wofford went 8-0 for the

SoCon’s first perfect mark since 1998. His 100th win at Wofford was a 7-6 victory at Furman in the 2003 regular-season finale. At the end of the campaign, the coaches had selected a league-best 10 Terriers to their All-SoCon squad. Matt Nelson was named the SoCon Defensive Player of the Year and was also named the SoCon’s Male Athlete of the Year. Wofford concluded the regular season with a No. 2 national ranking. In the Division I-AA playoffs, the Terriers defeated North Carolina A&T and defending national champion Western Kentucky in the opening two rounds. In the semifinals, Wofford saw a twelvegame winning streak come to an end in a 24-9 loss at Delaware. The 12-2 overall record marked the most wins in school history. After his team was picked to finish seventh in 2002 preseason polls, Ayers led Wofford to a 9-3 overall record and a second-place finish in the SoCon with a 6-2 league mark. Nine different players earned All-SoCon honors at the completion of the season. Wofford finished the 2002 campaign ranked No. 11 and No. 15, respectively, in final Division I-AA polls by ESPN/USA Today and The Sports Network. Wofford was also the only I-AA program in the nation to have two wins over teams (No. 2 Georgia Southern, No. 5 Appalachian State) ranked in the top five in the final regular-season poll. Ayers became Wofford’s career leader in victories in a 35-10 win over Charleston Southern during the 2001 season. He broke Conley Snidow’s mark of 77 victories that had stood for 35 years. Ayers had equaled Snidow’s career mark for victories in the 2000 regular-season finale with a convincing 24-6 win at Louisiana-Monroe – the Terriers’ first victory over a Division I-A member. In 2000, Ayers garnered SoCon Coach of the Year honors when he guided the Terriers to a 7-4 record and its second consecutive 5-3 SoCon mark. Wofford concluded the season with a No. 23 national ranking in final Division I-AA polls by The Sports Network and ESPN/USA Today. Ayers was the runner-up for SoCon Coach of the Year honors after guiding the Terriers to a 5-3 conference record in 1999 and a fourth-place finish in the league standings. Wofford had been a preseason eighth-place pick out of nine teams and did not have a player named first team All-Conference. Showing a work ethic that is unparalleled, his teams have made a habit of playing the role of “Giant Killer.” In seven years as a Division II member, Wofford posted six wins and a tie against Division I-AA competition. Included in that total were a pair of victories at The Citadel and a 14-14 tie at Furman in 1993. Ayers was the recipient of back-to-back Kodak AFCA Region Coach of the Year honors in 1990 and 1991, when he guided the Terriers to consecutive appearances in the NCAA Division II playoffs. In each case, he was one of five finalists for national

EAST TENNESSEE STATE It was at East Tennessee State where Ayers first gained his reputation as one of the country’s premier program rebuilders. When Buddy Sasser was named head coach at East Tennessee State in 1983 after six seasons as the head coach at Wofford, Ayers joined him in Johnson City, Tenn., as the Buccaneers’ defensive coordinator. Under his direction, the ETSU defense was ranked nationally in several categories. Ayers then took over the helm as the Buccaneers’ head coach in 1985 when Sasser was promoted to athletic director. During his three years (1985-87) at the SoCon school, Ayers turned an 0-10-1 team into a 6-5 contender the following campaign. The turnaround marked the nation’s second-best improvement that year. In his final season at ETSU, the Buccaneers were nationally ranked during the early stages of the year and posted impressive victories over North Carolina State, Chattanooga, and William & Mary. THE EARLY YEARS The coaching career for Ayers began at Georgetown (Ky.) in 1974 as a graduate assistant for a 7-3 team. He was promoted the following year to defensive coordinator and Georgetown improved to 8-3. Ayers then served three years as an assistant at Newberry College and one season at the University of Richmond, before coming to Wofford in 1980 as a defensive assistant under Sasser. During those three years with the Terriers, Ayers was part of a coaching staff that fielded some of the school’s finest football teams, including the 1982 squad that finished with an 8-3 record and earned a No. 4 national ranking. COACHING HONORS AND AWARDS Ayers was named the recipient of The Sports Network’s 2003 Eddie Robinson Award as Division I-AA’s National Coach of the Year. He was the runner-up in 2002. He has been named the Southern Conference Coach of the Year five times (2000, 2002, 2003, 2007, 2010) in the last fourteen seasons. Ayers has received the AFCA regional honor four times. He was also selected for the award in 1990 and 1991 when he guided the Terriers to the Division II playoffs in each of those campaigns. Ayers was named the 2002 National Coach of the Year by the College Sporting News (www.i-aa.org). He was also a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year in 2008.

Coach of the Year. His second playoff team in 1991 was accomplished with just six seniors on the roster. Wofford’s initial trip to the postseason in 1990 was its first-ever appearance in the NCAA playoffs and the school’s first time in postseason play in 20 years. Without a doubt, the turnaround in Wofford’s football fortunes coincided with his return to campus. After inheriting a 1-10 football team that scored just 87 points in 1987, it took the Cincinnati, Ohio, native just three years to build a program. Ayers made an immediate impact in his first season when he led Wofford back to respectability with a 5-5 record. The 1989 campaign then served notice that the Terriers were coming into their own. Wofford posted a 6-5 mark, winning its last three games by a combined score of 151-7. The momentum then continued from the previous season as Wofford opened 1990 with eight victories to make it 11 consecutive wins. It was the longest current streak at the time in NCAA Division II football. The season of highlights and Wofford’s reversal in football fortunes culminated on Nov. 11 at 4:06 p.m. in the Earth Station Room on the Wofford campus. Word came via satellite that the Terriers were one of 16 schools selected to compete in the 1990 NCAA Division II playoffs. It was the first postseason appearance since 1970. When Ayers returned to Wofford in January 1988, he was not unfamiliar to winning football games on campus. A successful three-year stint (1980-82) as an assistant coach with Wofford saw the Terriers produce a 21-10-2 record and a national ranking.

has led the way in number of student-athletes selected. The Terriers have had at least six players selected in each of the last ten years, including 13 in 2014, and had a total of 134 selections. In four of the last seven seasons, a Wofford football player has been inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s most prestigious liberal arts honor society. Quarterback Mitch Allen was inducted in 2011, linebacker James Lane was honored in 2012, and kicker Paul Inclan and offensive lineman Kane Sherrill were inducted in 2014. Phifer Nicholson was named Wofford’s 2015-16 Presidential International Scholar by Dr. Nayef Samhat. The football team was recognized by the NCAA in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012, 2013 and 2014 for Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. In 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014, the team posted the highest APR score in the Southern Conference and was honored by the FCS Athletic Directors Association. Under Ayers’ guidance, Wofford has consistently topped the SoCon and ranked among the national leaders for all Division I members in its graduation rate of football players. In the most recent data released by the NCAA, the Wofford football team had an APR of 985 and a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 88. PERSONAL Ayers played prep football at Glen Este High School in Cincinnati, later earning a football scholarship to Georgetown College (Ky.), where he was a three-time All-District 24 selection at linebacker while also starting at offensive tackle. He earned all-district honors as a catcher on the baseball team in addition to competing in gymnastics and wrestling. A black belt in karate and an accomplished fisherman and sketch artist, Ayers has a variety of off-field interests and has always been involved in charitable events. He is a much sought-after speaker for athletic groups and charitable events. He completed his B.A. degree in 1974 and received his M.A. degree from Georgetown as well in 1976. He has been inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame at both Glen Este and Georgetown. Michael Ayers was born May 26, 1948 in Georgetown, Kentucky. Ayers and his wife, Julie, were married on June 26, 1976. They have two daughters, Katie and Courtney, and a son, Travis. Courtney and her husband, Piotr Kalinowski, have a son, Max, and daughter Madison Grace. Katie and her husband Micah Gauntner have two daughters, Amelia Rose and Avery. Travis graduated from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in 2012 and completed a residency in pediatrics at Tulane before beginning a fellowship at the University of Maryland in 2015.

FREDDIE BROWN
Wide Receivers Fifth Season South Carolina‘09 Freddie Brown III is entering his fifth season on the staff coaching the wide receivers. He will also work with the special teams returners.

CHARLES J. BRADSHAW AWARD
One of the highest honors that a student-athlete can receive at Wofford is the Charles Bradshaw Award, which was initiated in 1978 in recognition of Wofford’s former All-American quarterback. Bradshaw was also president of the student body in 1959. The Award is presented only in years when there is a candidate “whose academic, leadership and citizenship contributions at Wofford College best typify the ideals and contributions of Charlie Bradshaw.”

Shrine Cigar Bowl • Jan. 2, 1950 • Tampa, Florida The 1949 Wofford football team completed its regular season with an 11-0 record, before suffering a shocking 19-6 loss to Florida State in the Cigar Bowl. The Cigar Bowl would be the first-ever bowl game for Florida State. The Terriers did rebound from the upset to the Seminoles to post a 19-14 victory over Auburn in the 1950 season opener. Under head coach Phil Dickens, the 1949 Wofford football team outscored its opponents by a 353-67 margin. Included in the victory total was a school record 83 points in an 83-13 win over High Point. The loss also snapped a 23-game unbeaten streak for the Terriers dating back to the 1947 campaign. Wofford opened the 1948 season with a national record five straight ties on the way to a 4-0-5 mark. The Terriers closed the 1947 season with three straight victories. Among the members of the 1949 team were Allen Clark and Wade Corn, grandfathers of recent Wofford football players Al Clark III and Chase Corn, as well as Willie Varner, who would become a legendary football coach at Woodruff (SC) High School.
1950 CIGAR BOWL
Red Parrish scored twice and Buddy Strauss rushed for 132 yards to give three-touchdown underdog Florida State a 19-6 upset victory over Wofford before a Cigar Bowl record crowd of 14,000 fans at Phillips Stadium in Tampa, FL. The loss snapped Wofford’s 15-game winning streak and 23-game unbeaten run dating back to the 1947 campaign. The Terriers scored only moments into the contest to take a 6-0 lead. After Bill Thurston blocked a Florida State punt, Vernon Quick recovered the ball at the one-yard line and carried it into the end zone for the Wofford touchdown. For the balance of the first quarter, Florida State mounted several drives that stalled around midfield. The Terriers then put together their first offensive threat in the second quarter. However, the drive
ended with an interception at the Seminole 16-yard line that was promptly returned to t h e Te r r i e r 20. Shortly after, Parrish s c o re d t h e first of his two touchdowns on a four-yard run to even the game at 6-6. Late in the first half, an interference penalty on the Terriers gave Florida State the ball in Wofford territory to set up a go-ahead score as the Seminoles took a 13-6 lead. The third quarter was a defensive battle with neither team able to mount a serious scoring threat. In the fourth quarter, a Seminole punt pinned Wofford deep in its own territory. After the Terriers fumbled on their 8-yard line, the Wofford defense utilized a goal-line stand to remain in the contest. Parrish was stopped a foot short of the end zone on fourth down. Unable to move the ball out of the deep hole, Wofford was forced to punt which gave the Seminoles excellent field position with just minutes remaining. With only seconds showing on the clock, Parrish sliced in from five yards out to seal Florida State’s upset win.
TEXAS A&I 48, WOFFORD 7
NAIA Championship Bowl • Dec. 12, 1970 • Greenville, S.C. Under head coach Jim Brakefield, the 1970 football team won a school record 20 consecutive games en route to a No. 1 national ranking and a berth in the NAIA championship game. After closing the 1969 campaign with nine straight victories, the Terriers swept through the 1970 regular season with a 10-0 record before defeating West Liberty State in an NAIA semifinal contest. Although Wofford lost to Texas A&I in the national champion game, the Terriers still finished the season with an 11-1 mark and a No. 4 ranking. All-state quarterback Harold Chandler set school records for passing yards (1,610), completion percentage (59.5), touchdowns (11), and total offense (1,852). In the 12-6 semifinal win over West Liberty, Bobby Jordan accounted for the Terrier offense with scoring runs of four and 61 yards. Defensively, Dean Lemler tied an NAIA semifinal game record with two interceptions. Clifford Boyd topped Wofford on the season with 1,022 yards rushing. He became the first Terrier to rush for over 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons. Bobby Jordan scored 13 touchdowns as a senior in 1970 to graduate as Wofford’s career leader with 36 touchdowns. Skip Corn had a team-high 46 receptions for 700 yards and eight touchdowns. Ray Monroe supplied good field position for the Terriers with a 25.9 kickoff return average, including a school record 96-yard return against Newberry. Placekicker Randy Bringman set a Wofford mark with 34 consecutive extra-points made.
1970 NAIA CHAMPIONSHIP BOWL
The Terriers found themselves outmanned in the NAIA Championship Bowl as their school record 20-game winning streak came to an end with a 48-7 loss to defending champion Texas A&I before a crowd
of 12,625 at Sirrine Stadium in Greenville, SC. T h e usually formidable Terrier offense was held to 54 yards rushing and 100 passing, while the Javelinas totaled 574 yards of offense. Texas A&I took a 21-0 halftime lead and then put the game away with four touchdowns in the third quarter. “Texas A&I simply played better football and they won on their play,” Chandler said. “They have a good team and they played very well this afternoon. We made mistakes and they took advantage of them. They made mistakes and we did not capitalize.”

The game was played before an estimated crowd of 10,500 at Gibbs Stadium. All of Wofford’s offense came on the ground as the Terriers ran for 370 yards, its second-best effort of the season, against a North Carolina A&T defense that ranked eighth in the nation in rushing defense (97.9 yards per game). Wofford attempted just two passes and both were incomplete. Zolman had 141 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries. He had a pair of 44-yard runs in addition to scoring on carries of five and four yards. Johnson had 106 yards on 11 attempts as he had a career-best day for the third time in the last four games. With the game scoreless in the first quarter and the Aggies (10-3) driving at the Terrier 24, Wofford free safety and SoCon Defensive Player of the Year Matt Nelson made a leaping interception in the end zone for his sixth pick of the season. The Terriers took a 7-0 lead when they drove 59 yards in eight plays, capped by a J.R. McNair 6-yard scoring run, with 8:27 left in the second quarter. Johnson had a 21-yard gain on the first play of the series. On the Aggies’ ensuing possession, a Teddie Whitaker hit on a Micheaux Hollingsworth run forced a fumble that was recovered by Alex Love at the A&T 20-yard line. Four plays later, Nick Robinson kicked a 31-yard field goal to give Wofford a 10-0 lead with 5:27 left in the first half. On its final series of the first half, North Carolina A&T drove to the Wofford 15 before Yonnick Matthews missed a 32-yard field goal. A 44-yard Zolman run on the opening series of the second half keyed a 9-play, 80-yard scoring drive that gave Wofford a 17-0 lead. Zolman
scored from five yards out on a 3rd-and-goal rush. North Carolina A&T answered with a 15-play, 59-yard drive to close within 17-7. Quarterback Orrick Watkins had a 3-yard touchdown run on a 4th-and-goal play with 4:48 to play in the third quarter. Following a Wofford turnover, the Aggies trimmed their deficit to 17-10 when Matthews kicked a 25-yard field goal with 55 seconds left in the third quarter. The Terriers responded with a season-long 17-play scoring drive to increase their lead to 24-10 with 9:02 left in the game. Wofford’s 85-yard march to the end zone was keyed by a Zolman 4-yard rush on a 4th-and-1 at the Aggie 49-yard line. Zolman then capped the drive with a 4-yard touchdown run. After Lee Basinger recorded a pair of sacks on North Carolina A&T’s next possession, the Terriers took over at the Aggie 48-yard line. A Johnson 31-yard run on the first play of the series set up an 8-yard Corey Dunn touchdown carry as Wofford led 31-10 with 5:54 to play. The Aggies were held to 85 yards rushing on 48 attempts (1.8 per carry). North Carolina A&T had 176 yards in the air for 261 total. “I’m very proud of our guys’ effort,” Wofford coach Mike Ayers said. “Going into the ball game, we knew we were going to be facing a great challenge in A&T. “
WOFFORD 34, WESTERN KENTUCKY 17
NCAA Division I-AA Playoffs • Dec. 6, 2003 • Gibbs Stadium SPARTANBURG -- Wofford quarterback Jeff Zolman rushed for 94 yards and three touchdowns as the Terriers defeated defending national champion Western Kentucky, 34-17, at Gibbs Stadium in Spartanburg, S.C., to advance to the semifinals of the Division I-AA playoffs. In winning their 12th straight game, the Terriers (12-1) have set a single-season school record for victories. Western Kentucky (9-4) took a 7-0 lead on the game’s opening play as quarterback Justin Haddix hit Shannon Hayes on an 82-yard touchdown pass. The Terriers answered with touchdown drives on their next three series to take a 21-7 lead with 2:58 remaining in the first quarter. “We played a great team in Western Kentucky,”Wofford coach Mike Ayers said. “The kids didn’t get down after the first touchdown. We’ve been a Cinderella all year. The Cinderella story lives. I believe in our kids and I believe in our coaches. Coach (Wade) Lang and coach (Nate) Woody did a great job with the game plan. We stayed consistent, we implemented the game plan, everybody played hard, and it worked.” A Zolman 5-yard scoring run capped an 11-play, 70-yard drive that pulled Wofford within 7-6. On the third play of the Hilltoppers’ ensuing series, Jimmy Freland forced a fumble by Haddix that was recovered by Josh Smith at the Western Kentucky 32. Smith was starting in place of Timmy Thrift, Wofford’s second-leading tackler with 117 stops, who missed the game due to injury. Following Smith’s recovery, the Terriers drove seven plays in 32 yards to take a 12-7 lead. A 2-point rush by Kevious Johnson increased Wofford’s lead to 14-7 with 6:57 left in the first quarter. Zolman’s second touchdown of the day on a 1-yard sneak capped a 48-yard scoring drive that put the Terriers on top 21-7. Zolman had a 28-yard run to key the drive. The Hilltoppers had a 4th-and-goal at the Wofford 1-yard line in the second quarter. With Western Kentucky set to go for the touchdown,
a false start pushed the ball back to the 6-yard line. Matt Lange then kicked a 22-yard field goal with 6:58 left in the first half to cut the Wofford lead to 21-10 at the intermission. Wofford extended its lead to 27-10 with a season-best 8:05 scoring drive that was capped by a 1-yard Zolman run with 13:32 remaining. It capped a 16-play, 72-yard possession. Western Kentucky answered with a 79-yard drive with Lerron Moore scoring from a yard out to cut the Terrier lead to 27-17 with 7:30 remaining. Following a failed onside kick, the Terriers took possession at the Hilltopper 43. With Wofford facing a 4th-and-1 at the Western Kentucky 26, wide receiver Curtis Nash took a pitch on a reverse and raced into the end zone untouched. McNair had 88 yards rushing while SoCon Freshman of the Year Kevious Johnson added 86 yards as the Terriers ran for 311 yards. Wofford added 20 yards passing on 2-of-4 attempts for 331 in total offense. Western Kentucky had 345 yards total with 125 on the ground and 220 in the air. Only 263 yards came after the first play.

The Terriers (12-2), making their first appearance on the national network, close the season with a school record 12 victories. Wofford saw its 12-game winning streak end as it lost for the first time since the Aug. 30 season opener at Air Force. Delaware (14-1) advances to the national championship game against Colgate. Delaware took a 3-0 lead on its opening series when Brad Shushman kicked a 22-yard field goal. On its next series, the Blue Hens drove to the Terrier 22 before Walter Payton Award finalist Andy Hall was intercepted by Wofford inside linebacker Josh Smith. The Terriers forced a 3-3 tie at the half when Nick Robinson kicked a career-long 40-yard field goal as time expired. It capped a 17-play, 58-yard drive that consumed 6:44. The key play was a 7-yard rush by Kevious Johnson on a 4th-and-2 at the Delaware 47. Trey Rodgers also had an 11-yard pass to Brian Rice on a 3rd-and-8 at the Wofford 34 and a 6-yard completion to Brandon Berry on a 3rd-and-5 at the Blue Hen 35. Four-time All-SoCon punter Jimmy Miner did his best with six kicks averaging 46.3 yards. However, the Blue Hens had 56 return yards after the Terriers had surrendered just 80 yards on punt returns for the season entering the game. After being forced to punt on its first two series of the second half, Delaware took a 10-3 lead when Germaine Bennett scored from two yards out with 3:42 to play in the third quarter. Bennett later added fourth-quarter scoring runs of five and 15 yards. Blue Hen defensive end Shawn Johnson had 3.5 tackles for loss, including a sack. David Boler keyed the Delaware receiving corps with three catches for 45 yards. With Delaware leading just 10-3 in the fourth quarter, Hall scrambled and found Boler for an 18-yard completion on
a 3rd-and-8 at the Wofford 45. The Terriers reached the end zone on the final play of the game as Rodgers connected with Rice on a 5-yard scoring pass. It capped a 13-play, 83-yard drive. With the Delaware fans rushing the field, the officials called the game and did not let the Terriers attempt the PAT or 2-point conversion. “We faced an outstanding team,” Wofford coach Mike Ayers said. “They are very well coached and play hard. We had opportunities. When you play against a great team like that, you won’t get many. We just didn’t capitalize. “We competed hard. That last drive was an example of how our kids kept battling. All season long, we’ve played great defense. We just got a little worn down today, but kept battling. These guys are a lot like us. They play great defense and control the clock. This will be a great teaching tape for us as coaches and for our players. We had a great season. Some days, you just aren’t good enough. We hope to be back next year.” Rodgers was 7-of-14 in the air for 65 yards. SoCon Freshman of the Year Kevious Johnson was the Terriers’ top rusher with 49 yards on 13 carries to finish with a team-best 823 yards on the season.

NCAA FCS First Round • Nov. 24, 2007 • Washington-Grizzly Stadium MISSOULA, Montana – Wofford College traveled west and came back home with a 23-22 win over previously undefeated Montana. Wofford will host a quarterfinal game next Saturday at Gibbs Stadium. Wofford was led by Kevious Johnson with 145 yards rushing on 20 carries. Dane Romero, Andy Strickland and Michael Hobbs had touchdowns, while Patrick Mugan had a field goal. Montana was led by Lex Hilliard with 123 yards on 29 carries. “I am proud of our players, proud of the staff and we hung together,” said head coach Mike Ayers. “The caliber of players and coaches here is something that we really admire. They are fundamentally sound and have no weakness. It was an awesome crowd that was tough and classy. We knew that to win, we were going to need to do it together. The kids kept playing and executing and the perimeter blocking was exceptional. The offense played well, and the defense came up big with limiting them to field goals.” Montana won the opening coin toss and elected to defer to the second half. On the first play from scrimmage for the Terriers, Kevious Johnson fumbled which was recovered by the Grizzlies. The Wofford defense started strong and forced a three-and-out by the Montana offense. On the next drive by the Terriers, the offense gained one first down before Josh Collier was intercepted by Reggie Bradshaw. The Terriers defense continued to stop the Grizzlies, as Jared McCollough came up with a sack and Montana was forced to punt again.

Following the punt, Montana scored on a nine yard pass from Cole Bergquist to Dan Beaudin with 24 seconds left in the half for a 13-10 lead. Montana had the ball to start the second half. After gaining one first down, the Wofford defense held and on a fake punt prevented the first down.

After the turnover, the Terrier defense once again stepped up to the challenge and after a sack by Seth Goldwire forced a three-and-out. Wofford was able to gain three first downs, but were stopped on a fourth-and-six, turning the ball over on downs. The Grizzlies drove to the Terriers one-yard line, but had to settle for a 24-yard field goal by Dan Carpenter for a 16-10 lead at 12:59 in the fourth quarter. After the score, Wofford was able to complete the first pass of the day, a 34-yard completion to Andy Strickland at 12:43 in the fourth quarter. The drive continued with a fourth-and-five from the six yard line when Josh Collier found Andy Strickland in the left corner of the endzone for the touchdown. The Terriers took a 17-16 lead with 7:47 left in the game. The lead was short-lived as Lex Hilliard scored from one-yard out with six minutes to go in the game. The two-point conversion attempt was incomplete, giving Montana a 22-17 lead. Wofford responded with a six yard touchdown run up the middle by Michael Hobbs with only 32 seconds left in the game.

NCAA FCS Quarterfinals • Dec. 1, 2007 • Gibbs Stadium SPARTANBURG – Wofford College was defeated 21-10 by the University of Richmond on Saturday night at Gibbs Stadium. Richmond is now 11-2 on the season and will advance in the FCS Playoffs. Wofford was led by Kevious Johnson with 89 yards on 16 carries and Andy Strickland with 98 yards on six catches. Wofford’s lone touchdown was by Michael Hobbs. Richmond was led by Tim Hightower with 88 yards on 23 carries with two touchdowns and Kevin Grayson with eight catches for 92 yards. “To tell you the truth it is exactly what we expected,” said head coach Mike Ayers. “First and foremost Richmond has a quality program. Their kids are just like our guys, they are going to go out, they are going to compete, and do everything they can do to try to get it done. We had concerns with our match-up offensively versus defensively. They did some things that created some problems for us, and then we compounded the problem by making some mistakes; not executing on certain situations.

Postseason Game History
WOFFORD 7, NORTH DAKOTA STATE 14
NCAA FCS Quarterfinals • Dec. 8, 2011 • Fargodome FARGO, N.D. – Wofford’s season came to an end with a 14-7 loss to North Dakota State on Saturday in the Fargodome. The Terriers outgained NDSU in total offense, but were limited to a defensive touchdown in the NCAA FCS quarterfinals. The Bison advanced to host Georgia Southern in the semifinals and defeated Sam Houston State to win the national championship. The Terriers finished 9-4 on the season. For Wofford, Eric Breitenstein ended his stellar career with 135 yards on 24 carries. The Bison were led by Brock Jensen with 60 rushing yards and 13-of-18 passing for 95 yards and a touchdown. “I felt that both teams played really hard,” said head coach Mike Ayers. “For us it was a situation of lost opportunities. We had two pretty good drives, but ball security jumps up and bites us. We played well enough defensively to keep the game within a score and we fought our tails off to try and get it in there. They did a great job of blocking the field goal. We had guys that put their heart and soul into the game. It was a great game and I have a great deal of respect for North Dakota State.” The Bison had the ball to open the game and drove down the field with five first downs. The drive was capped by a one-yard touchdown run by Sam Ojuri to give NDSU a 7-0 lead with 9:37 on the clock in the first quarter. On the first drive for the Terriers, Donovan Johnson picked up a first down with a 27-yard run. Brian Kass was reaching for the first down when he had the ball stripped and Cole Jirik recovered the ball for NDSU. The Bison went three and out and punted after a sack by Alvin Scioneaux. Wofford gained one first down before punting back to NDSU. Starting on the one-yard line after the punt, the Bison gained a first down, but then Blake Wylie intercepted Brock Jensen and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown. The score was tied at 7-7 at 14:06 in the second quarter. On the next drive by NDSU, they gained on rushing first down

PHI BETA KAPPA PHI BETA KAPPA
At the end of the last academic year, there were approximately 2,000 four-year colleges in the United States. Only 262 of them have the right to induct their graduates into Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s most prestigious liberal arts honor society. There are five independent Phi Beta Kappa colleges and universities in the Carolinas: Wofford, Davidson, Duke, Furman and Wake Forest. Founded at the College of William and Mary in December 1776, Phi Beta Kappa was the first of the Greek letter fraternities and adopted such rituals as the badge, the secret oath, and the special handclasp from the various secret societies of the day. Phi Beta Kappa, however, was also devoted to the principles of “friendship, morality, and literature (or learning),” and these characteristics gradually attained the greatest emphasis. John Quincy Adams, Edward Everett and Joseph Story, members of the Harvard chapter, are credited with making the fraternity a public literary and honor society for undergraduates in the 1830’s. Women were first admitted to Phi Beta Kappa in 1875 at the University of Vermont. Wofford received its chapter at the 1940 triennial meeting, bringing to fruition more than ten years of work by three Phi Beta Kappa members who were then serving on the faculty: President Henry Nelson Snyder, Dr. David Duncan Wallace, class of 1894, and Dr. John West Harris ’16, a brash and brilliant young English professor not afraid to campaign vigorously in the conviction that his alma mater deserved membership. (Dr. Harris later founded the National Beta Club, which still has its headquarters in Spartanburg). With about 350,000 members across the country, Phi Beta Kappa today sponsors numerous programs to encourage scholarship and learning, including the Phi Beta Kappa Book Awards and the visiting scholar, academic fellowship and leadership programs. For these reasons, Phi Beta Kappa Day at Wofford has institutional significance, as well as being especially memorable for the new members, each of whom will receive the traditional Phi Beta Kappa watch key or pin.
Paul Inclan ‘14 (above) is the latest in a long line of football players to be inducted into Phi Beta Kappa.

Southern Conference

SOUTHERN CONFERENCE The Southern Conference, which is in its 95th season of intercollegiate competition in 2015-16, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first postseason college basketball tournament (1921), to tackling the issue of freshman eligibility (1922), to developing women’s championships (1984), to becoming the first conference to install the 3-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pac-12 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on Capital One Academic All-America and All-District teams. A total of 20 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions, including Wofford volleyball player Rachel Woodlee, who earned the honor in 2012-13.
The Conference currently consists of 10 members in six states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 20 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first-class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents. MEMBERSHIP HISTORY On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee. Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The

decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play summer baseball for money. Play began in the fall of 1921, and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league, including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929. By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932, at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the withdrawing group, regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new league, which began play in 1933.
Southern Conference
The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institutions, including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools – Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest – departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference, which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. A third major shift occurred in 2012-13, when five members announced their departures and three schools were added. College of Charleston announced its decision to leave for the Colonial Athletic Association following the 2012-13 season, while Appalachian State (Sun Belt), Davidson (Atlantic 10), Elon (Colonial) and Georgia Southern (Sun Belt) announced they would depart following the 2013-14 campaign. At the Southern Conference’s 2013 spring meetings in Hilton Head Island, S.C., the league officially extended invitations to former members East Tennessee State and VMI, as well as Mercer, to join the league for the 2014-15 academic year. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 10 institutions and a footprint that spans six states: Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Current league members are The Citadel, East Tennessee State, Furman, Mercer, UNCG, Samford, Chattanooga, VMI, Western Carolina and Wofford. FOOTBALL The Southern Conference has also excelled as the premier Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) conference. Former Southern Conference member Appalachian State won the three consecutive FCS titles from 2005-07, becoming the first team to do so. The league boasts more than 250 players who have garnered All-America recognition and numerous national player or coach of the year awards. The conference had at least one team in the top 10 of the final FCS poll for 28 consecutive years (1985-2012), with at least two teams finishing in the final poll in every season from 1982-2013. Three SoCon teams
– tri-champions Furman, Samford and Chattanooga – finished in the top 25 in 2013, while the Mocs finished No. 8 in 2014. The conference has placed multiple representatives in the FCS Playoffs in 26 of 31 seasons, with 16 championship game appearances and eight national titles. The Southern Conference has had at least one team reach the semifinals in 12 of the last 16 years and in 18 of the last 23 seasons. Wofford won the 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2012 SoCon Football Championships.
