SOUTHERN CONFERENCE HISTORYSOUTHERN CONFERENCE HISTORYThe Southern ConferenceThe 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 fi rst conference to install the 3-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer.

The Southern Conference is the nation’s fi fth-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, most recently in 2012-13, when former Wofford volleyball player Rachel Woodlee earned the prestigious award.

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 offi ces 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 off ers the league fi rst-class meeting areas and offi ces as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

Membership historyOn 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 offi cials 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,

The original Southern Conference constitution, drawn up in 1921, is housed in the archives at the league offi ce in Spartanburg, S.C.

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 fl edgling 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.

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 offi cially extended invitations to former members ETSU 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, ETSU, Furman, Mercer, UNCG, Samford, Chattanooga, VMI, Western Carolina and Woff ord.

SOUTHERN CONFERENCE HISTORYSOUTHERN CONFERENCE HISTORY

The 2014 addition of VMI in Lexington, Va., extended the Southern Conference’s reach to six states across the Southeast.

LeadershipJohn Iamar ino was of f ic ia l ly named commissioner of the conference on Jan. 2, 2006. Iamarino has promoted the Southern Conference through an ambitious agenda that has improved championships, upgraded compliance-related matters, launched the conference’s Hall of Fame and increased the marketing and brand awareness of the conference and its member institutions. He has also guided the league through its recent membership changes, ensuring the Southern Conference’s future viability and stability with the additions of ETSU, Mercer and VMI.

The eighth commissioner in Southern Conference history, Iamarino spearheaded the eff ort to create the SoCon Digital Network, which launched in the fall of 2014, and the league-wide plan to have all 10 member institutions capable of producing ESPN3-ready content by 2017.

Iamarino also orchestrated the addition of the league’s 20th sport, men’s lacrosse, for the 2014-15 academic year, attracting associate members Bellarmine, High Point, Jacksonville and Richmond in the inaugural year and adding Air Force beginning with the 2016 season.

The Southern Conference named its first commissioner in December 1950. Duke’s Wallace Wade made the transition from Blue Devil football coach to athletics administration as the fi rst person at the helm of the conference.L l oyd J o rd a n re p l a ce d Wa d e a s t h e commissioner in 1960 and served a 14-year term until Ken Germann became the league head in 1974. Germann was the commissioner for 13 years and orchestrated the league’s expansion to include women’s athletics. In 1987, he was succeeded by Dave Hart, who oversaw the transfer of the league offi ce from Charlotte, N.C., to Asheville, N.C.

Wright Waters succeeded Hart upon his retirement in 1991. Under Waters’ leadership, the Southern Conference expanded to 12 members, added three women’s sports and posted record revenue from the basketball tournament. Waters was followed by Alfred B. White in 1998. White, a veteran member of the NCAA office, introduced the current conference logo and elevated the conference’s commitment to marketing and development of corporate partners.

Danny Morrison, now president of the Carolina Panthers, headed the conference from 2001-05 and orchestrated the league’s move from Asheville, N.C., to Spartanburg, S.C. Under Morrison’s leadership, the conference increased its marketing and promotional eff orts.Championship history

The fi rst Southern Conference Championship held after the formation of the league was the basketball tournament in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the fi rst recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball. The most recent addition was men’s lacrosse, which crowned its fi rst champion in 2015.

Commissioner Germann spearheaded the Southern Conference’s expansion to include women’s athletics during the 1983-84 season. That year, league women’s championships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985, outdoor track and fi eld was added in 1987 and indoor and track and field followed in 1988. Most recently, the conference instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994.

The Germann Cup, named in honor of the former commissioner, annually recognizes the top women’s athletics programs in the conference. From its humble beginnings, women’s athletics have become an integral part of the Southern Conference and its success.The Southern Conference declares champions in 11 men’s sports – football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and fi eld, wrestling, baseball, lacrosse, tennis and golf – and nine women’s sports – soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track and fi eld, tennis, golf and softball.

FootballThe 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 fi nal FCS poll for 28 consecutive years (1985-2012), with at least two teams fi nishing in the fi nal poll in every season from 1982-2013. Three SoCon teams – tri-champions Furman, Samford and Chattanooga

– fi nished in the top 25 in 2013, while the Mocs fi nished No. 8 in 2014.

The conference has placed mult ip le representatives in the FCS Playoff s 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 semifi nals in 12 of the last 16 years and in 18 of the last 23 seasons.

In 2007, Appalachian State became the fi rst FCS team to defeat a nationally ranked Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) team, when the Mountaineers defeated No. 5 Michigan, 34-32, on Sept. 1 before a sellout crowd at Michigan Stadium. Georgia Southern, in its fi nal game as a member of the Southern Conference, downed the SEC’s Florida in Gainesville.

Prior to the conference’s reclassifi cation in 1981, Southern Conference football teams appeared in a total of 36 bowl games, posting a record of 16-18-2. From 1925-30, league schools won fi ve football national championships in a six-year span. There are nearly 60 former Southern Conference players and coaches in the College Football Hall of Fame. One of the most recognizable of these names is former North Carolina running back Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice, who helped guide North Carolina to three bowl appearances. He was a fi rst-team All-America selection and the Heisman Trophy runner-up in 1948 and 1949. In 1949, Justice earned fi rst-team all-conference honors for the fourth consecutive season, becoming the fi rst player in league history to achieve that feat. He was a member of the league’s inaugural Hall of Fame Class in 2009.

Another of the league’s football products that made it to the College Football Hall of Fame is Sam Huff of West Virginia. Huff was a three-year

Bold indicates current SoCon member.

Southern Conference membersstarter on both the off ensive and defensive lines for the Mountaineers. In 1955, Huff earned fi rst-team All-America honors on the fi eld and was a fi rst-team Academic All-American for his work in the classroom. He played 12 seasons in the National Football League for the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins. Also a member of the conference’s fi rst Hall of Fame class, he was a five-time All-Pro linebacker and is also a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The newest addition was former Appalachian State coach Jerry Moore, who was enshrined in December 2014. The winningest coach in Appalachian State and Southern Conference history, Moore compiled a 215-87 record in his 24 seasons at Appalachian State (1989-2012), including 10 SoCon championships, 18 postseason appearances and an unprecedented three straight NCAA Division I FCS/I-AA national titles (2005-07).

In recent years, the Southern Conference has continued to produce outstanding student-athletes. In 1999, Georgia Southern’s Adrian Peterson captured the Walter Payton Award, presented annually to the Football Championship Subdivision’s most outstanding offensive player. Furman’s Louis Ivory was awarded the honor in 2000, Georgia Southern’s Jayson Foster was presented with the 2007 trophy and most recently, Appalachian State’s record-setting quarterback Armanti Edwards became the fi rst two-time winner in Payton Award history after claiming the honors in 2008 and 2009.

Appalachian State’s Dexter Coakley was a three-time all-conference selection and consensus All-American in 1994, ’95 and ’96 before going on to stardom with the Dallas Cowboys. Coakley won a pair of Buck Buchanan Awards, given to Football Championship Subdivision’s top defensive player each year. Terrell Owens went from catching passes at Chattanooga to a stellar NFL career. Western

Carolina’s David Patten and Appalachian State’s Matt Stevens were both members of the New England Patriots’ Super Bowl champion team in 2002 and Patten also earned Super Bowl rings with the Patriots in 2004 and ’05. Appalachian State’s Daniel Kilgore appeared in Super Bowl XLVII for the San Francisco 49ers in 2013.

BasketballMen’s basketball was the fi rst sport in which the conference held a championship. The league tournament is the nation’s oldest, with the inaugural championship after the formation

of the league held at Atlanta’s City Auditorium in 1922 and won by North Carolina.

Not only was the Southern Conference tournament the first of its kind, but the league also helped change the face of college basketball. In 1980, the league began a season-long experiment with a 22-foot 3-point fi eld goal with the approval of the NCAA Rules Committee. Ronnie Carr of Western Carolina made the first 3-point field goal in college basketball history in a game against Middle Tennessee State on Nov. 29, 1980.

Another college basketball tradition that originated in the Southern Conference is the traditional cutting of the nets by the winning team in important tournaments. According to USA Today, the practice of net-cutting originated in 1947 with NC State head coach Everett Case. As a fi rst-year head coach, Case led the Wolfpack to the Southern Conference Tournament title. Case celebrated by claiming the nets as a souvenir to commemorate the event.

Basketball coaching legend Red Auerbach gave credit to former George Washington coach Bill Reinhart, who coached in the conference for nearly 30 years, as one of the originators of the modern fast-break.

West Virginia’s 10 tournament championships rank as the second-most in league history behind Davidson’s 12. The Mountaineers were led by the incomparable Jerry West from 1958 through 1960. West, a two-time All-America selection, spurred West Virginia to the Final Four in 1959. The Mountaineers lost in the championship game that season to California, 71-70, but West earned Final Four Most

The Atlanta Memorial Auditorium was the site for the fi rst Southern Conference Basketball Championship in 1921. The SoCon basketball tournament is the longest-running of its kind in college basketball history.

SOUTHERN CONFERENCE HISTORYSOUTHERN CONFERENCE HISTORY

Appalachian State’s Mary Jayne Harrelson was the NCAA champion in the 1,500 meters in 1999 and 2001. She was inducted into the

SoCon Hall of Fame in 2010.

Valuable Player honors. West was a three-time Southern Conference tournament MVP, a two-time league regular-season MVP, and was twice named the conference’s Athlete of the Year. He went on to a spectacular career with the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1979. He was a 14-time NBA All-Star while with the Lakers. It is West’s silhouette that comprises the NBA’s globally recognized logo.

Frank Selvy set the NCAA record for points in a game while at Furman. On Feb. 13, 1954, the senior scored 100 points in a game against Newberry, a record that still stands. Selvy was the Southern Conference Most Valuable Player in 1953 and 1954 and the league’s Athlete of the Year in 1954. He went on to a 10-year career in the NBA. Selvy and his former Lakers teammate West were both enshrined in the league’s Hall of Fame in 2009.

Rod Hundley was another West Virginia star during the 1950s. “Hot Rod” made a name for himself as one of the most spectacular players to tour the league during his era. Hundley averaged 24.5 points per game in his three seasons as a Mountaineer and was an all-conference and all-tournament performer in each of those three years. He was the Southern Conference Most Valuable Player and Athlete of the Year as a senior in 1957. He was the fi rst player selected in the 1957 NBA draft and enjoyed a six-year career in that league.

ETSU’s Keith “Mister” Jennings made his mark on the college basketball world in the early 1990s. Despite standing less than 6 feet tall, Jennings was a two-time all-conference choice and the league’s Player of the Year and Athlete of the Year in 1991. Jennings played with the Golden State Warriors of the NBA.

Besides West Virginia’s team in 1959, the Southern Conference has been represented in the Final Four on two other occasions. North Carolina advanced to the NCAA championship game in 1943 before falling 43-40 to Oklahoma State. NC State fi nished third in the tournament in 1950.

Davidson continued the record of success by advancing to the NCAA tournament’s Elite Eight in 2008 as coach Bob McKillop’s Wildcats came within a basket of making the Final Four behind the play of sophomore guard Stephen Curry. Curry, a two-time SoCon Male Athlete of the Year winner, led the nation in scoring as a junior at 28.6 points per game and has gone on to star for the NBA’s Golden State Warriors, earning league MVP honors and leading the Warriors to the NBA title in 2015.

Women’s basketball competition began in the Southern Conference in 1983-84 with seven teams. In the sport’s history, eight schools have won the league’s tournament at least once with Chattanooga winning 16 and Appalachian State owning six titles. UNCG won the 1998 tournament as head coach Lynne Agee became the fi rst coach to take a team to the NCAA tournament in all three divisions – I, II and III. In 2001, Chattanooga head coach Wes Moore became the fi rst coach in NCAA history to take

three diff erent teams to the NCAA tournament in all three divisions. After Moore’s departure to helm NC State following the 2012-13 season, Chattanooga hired coach Jim Foster, who was inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in June 2013.

Since 1984, nine diff erent teams have claimed at least a share of the regular-season crown. Chattanooga has the most overall titles with 19, six of them shared. Chattanooga also owns the most outright championships with 13. In 2012-13, Davidson’s Sophia Aleksandravicius became just the sixth player in league history to win the conference Player of the Year award twice, joining ETSU’s DeShawne Blocker (1993 and 1995), Furman’s Jackie Smith (1998 and 1999) and Chattanooga’s Damita Bullock (2000 and 2001), Alex Anderson (2007 and 2008) and Shanara Hollinquest (2009 and 2010).

Other sportsIn baseball, Wake Forest advanced to the championship game of the NCAA College World Series in 1949. The Citadel made history in 1990 by becoming the fi rst military school to make an appearance at the College World Series. The Bulldogs were joined that season at the College World Series by future conference member Georgia Southern.

One of the Southern Conference’s more famous baseball alums is Duke’s Dick Groat. The Blue Devil shortstop, who was also a basketball standout, was the conference’s Athlete of the Year in 1951 and 1952. He went on to a 14-year career in the major leagues and was named the National League MVP in 1960 after leading the league with a .325 batting average for the World Series champion Pittsburgh Pirates.

Among Southern Conference alums to grace Major League Baseball fields have been Atlee Hammaker (ETSU), Jeff Montgomery (Marshall) and Mike Ramsey (Appalachian State). Other SoCon players to go on to play in the major leagues include third baseman Dallas McPherson (The Citadel), who played for the Anaheim/Los Angeles Angels, the Florida Marlins and the Chicago White Sox; pitchers Britt Reames (The Citadel) and Ryan Glynn (VMI), who both pitched with the Oakland A’s in 2005; Furman’s Tom Mastny, a pitcher with the Cleveland Indians (2007); College of Charleston’s Graham Godfrey, who pitched for Oakland in 2011 and 2012; Georgia Southern’s Everett Teaford, a pitcher with Kansas City from 2011-13; The Citadel’s Chris McGuiness, who made his MLB debut with the Texas Rangers in 2013; and Western Carolina’s Jared Burton, who played for Cincinnati and Minnesota in a career that spanned seven years (2007-14).

Several SoCon alumni played in the majors in 2015, including College of Charleston’s Brett Gardner, who earned a World Series ring with the New York Yankees in 2009, and Michael Kohn, a relief pitcher with the Atlanta Braves; The Citadel’s Asher Wojciechowski, who began the season in the Houston Astros’ rotation; Western Carolina right-handed pitcher Greg Holland (Kansas City), who was an American League All-Star in 2013 and 2014 and helped the Royals to the 2014 AL pennant and their first World Series appearance since 1985,

saving Game 3; and Woff ord’s John Cornely, who debuted with the Atlanta Braves in April.

Arnold Palmer, one of the world’s most famous golfers, competed under the Southern Conference banner as a collegian at Wake Forest. He took medalist honors at the Southern Conference tournament in 1948 and 1949 and was the tournament’s runner-up in 1950. Palmer was the medalist at the NCAA Golf Championships in 1949 and 1950. He went on to become one of the most accomplished golfers to play on the professional tour. Palmer won 62 tournaments while competing on the PGA Tour and added 10 more victories as a member of the Senior PGA Tour. A member of the SoCon Hall of Fame, he won eight major championships – four Masters, two British Opens, one U.S. Open and one U.S. Amateur.

Furman golfer Dottie Pepper was named the Southern Conference Women’s Athlete of the Decade in the 1980s and was honored as part of the league’s 25th anniversary of women’s championships celebration in 2007-08. Furman’s Brandi Jackson won the NCAA Women’s Golf East Regional in the spring of 2003, while, on the men’s side, Chattanooga’s Stephen Jaeger was the 2012 champion at the NCAA Bowling Green Regional. Chattanooga’s Steven Fox won the U.S. Amateur in 2012, going on to play in the 2013 Masters, U.S. Open and Arnold Palmer Invitational, among other PGA Tour events.

Coaches and administratorsThe Southern Conference has also been a breeding ground for some of college athletics’ most recognized coaches and administrators.Legendary basketball coaches Adolph Rupp of Kentucky and Everett Case of NC State both worked the sidelines in the Southern Conference. Rupp guided the Wildcats to a 30-5 mark during the 1931 and 1932 seasons. Yet, for all his coaching accomplishments, Rupp never led Kentucky to a Southern Conference tournament championship.

J. Dallas Shirley, a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, spent 21 years as the assistant to the commissioner and supervisor of officials in the Southern Conference. He also served as president of the International Association of Basketball Offi cials and the United States Olympic Basketball Committee.

The legendary Paul “Bear” Bryant got his coaching start in the Southern Conference as he guided the Maryland Terrapins in 1945. Another famous Southern Conference football coach is the late Frank Howard of Clemson, who guided the Tigers as a league member from 1940-52. The incomparable Howard won 69 Southern Conference games.

The Southern Conference has been represented on the sidelines at fi ve Super Bowls in recent years. Bobby Ross, who piloted the San Diego Chargers to the 1996 Super Bowl, was the head coach at The Citadel from 1973-77. Former Buff alo Bills head coach Marv Levy, who coached the Bills in four Super Bowls, directed William & Mary from 1964-68 and was succeeded there by Lou Holtz.

THE SOUTHERN CONFERENCEPreparing student-athletes for life’s challenges since 1921

Academics-Oriented

• The SoCon has consistently ranked in the NCAA’s top 10 in the Academic Progress Rate (APR), the NCAA’s best indicator of graduation rates.

• Nearly 50 percent of all SoCon student-athletes earn all-academic honors (3.0 GPA or better).

Community-Based

• Our student-athletes have a presence in the community and participate in many local charities, youth and educational initiatives.

• SAAC members have conducted a Keeping Tabs on Kids initiative the past nine years to benefi t the Ronald McDonald House, which serves families of children undergoing lengthy hospital treatments away from home.

Competitive Athletics

• SoCon teams are highly competitive regionally and nationally.• In the past fi ve years, football, baseball, men’s soccer and men’s golf have all sent multiple teams to NCAA

postseason tournaments.• SoCon teams have won more FCS football titles (eight) than any other conference.

Diversity

• This is a conference that takes great pride in the diversity of its institutions.• The SoCon consists of 10 members in six states, including four private institutions and six state institutions,

two of which are military colleges.

Geographic Integrity

• The SoCon believes in the value of a geographic footprint that minimizes missed class time and maximizes fan travel to away contests.

• The league extends across six contiguous states but still has a footprint that permits bus trips from one end of the conference to the other.

History & Tradition

• The SoCon is the fi fth-oldest Division I conference in America.• Great coaches and athletes from diff erent eras have competed in the Southern Conference, from Bear Bryant

to Lou Holtz, from Sam Huff to Terrell Owens, from Jerry West to Stephen Curry.

Sportsmanship

• For more than 30 years, the SoCon has presented an annual award to the program that displays the fi nest level of sportsmanship in the Conference as voted upon by its peers.

• The SoCon has one of the strictest policies regarding game ejections in all of college athletics. This is by design and emphasizes the priority of good sportsmanship articulated by presidents, chancellors and administrators.

Student-Athlete Experience

• SoCon championships are conducted in a way to provide a memorable and positive experience for all partici-pants.

• Scheduling decisions and tournament bracket formats determined by administrators and coaches consistent-ly factor in the eff ect on the individual student-athlete and avoidance of missed class time.

• The Conference conducts an annual three-day summer retreat for student-athletes to hone their leadership and decision-making skills.

SOUTHERN CONFERENCE STAFFSOUTHERN CONFERENCE STAFF

JOHN IAMARINOCOMMISSIONER

John Iamarino was named the eighth commissioner of the Southern Conference on Jan. 2, 2006. Since then, Iamarino and his staff have emphasized strategies to better serve the membership and raise the profi le of the conference.

In collaboration with coaches and administrators, Iamarino has led efforts that resulted in new members joining the conference, the creation of a Hall of Fame, the return to Asheville, N.C., for the basketball and wrestling tournaments, the launch of the SoCon Digital Network, and a collaborative

academic initiative begun in 2014-15.

In the summer of 2015, the conference signed a new six-year deal with ESPN that will run through the league’s centennial celebration in 2020-21. The SoCon will broadcast nearly 2,000 live events for ESPN3 over the life of that contract, including select regular-season contests and conference championships in football, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, baseball, softball, men’s lacrosse, volleyball and wrestling.

In 2014, Iamarino signed an agreement for a broadcast television package with commercial stations owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group under the banner of the American Sports Network. ASN carried 18 live SoCon events last year and will do 8-10 events in 2015-16.

Iamarino also spearheaded creation of the SoCon Academic Exchange. Working with chief academic offi cers and designated faculty, the conference launched the collaborative educational project designed to provide learning activities and opportunities to benefi t students – athletes and non-athletes alike – faculty and administrators of the member institutions. As part of the increased academic focus, Iamarino and the SoCon created a Faculty Member of the Year award to recognize outstanding achievement and commitment on the part of member institutions’ faculty.

Another successful initiative by the conference has been the SoCon Digital Network, a free Internet-based platform that carried more than 600 live events in high defi nition during its fi rst year. Between ESPN3, ASN and is own digital network, the conference has ensured that all league games in football and men’s and women’s basketball are available for viewing.

One of the most visible achievements during Iamarino’s tenure has been the creation of the Southern Conference Hall of Fame, whose inaugural class was enshrined on May 4, 2009. Among those who have been inducted are such sporting greats as Arnold Palmer, Jerry West, Sam Huff , Dick Groat, Frank Selvy, Rod Hundley and Lefty Driesell.

In May 2013, Iamarino worked with the conference presidents, chancellors and athletic directors to stabilize the Southern Conference membership by inviting East Tennessee State University, Mercer University and Virginia Military Institute to become members. Both ETSU and VMI were returning to the SoCon. The additions once more gave the conference a presence in the state of Virginia.

The SoCon has consistently ranked in the top 10 among all Division I conferences in the Academic Progress Rate (APR) and Iamarino has worked with the Council of Presidents to maintain a high academic standing for conference student-athletes. Almost 50 percent of all Southern Conference student-athletes earned inclusion on the SoCon’s Honor Roll by recording a 3.0 GPA or better.

Iamarino has spent the past 31 years at the conference level, working at both the Sun Belt Conference and the Northeast Conference. Prior to joining the SoCon, he served as commissioner of the NEC for nine years. During that time, the conference launched its fi rst website, approved athletic aid in the sport of football, increased

television coverage from 12 to 30 basketball games, started its fi rst TV coverage of football, and initiated more aggressive marketing and merchandising eff orts.

At the Sun Belt, he spent 13 years in a variety of publicity, compliance and administrative positions, rising to the level of associate commissioner. When the original Sun Belt merged with the then-American South Conference in 1991, Iamarino was the lone staff er from the original organization to move to the new Sun Belt, heading the transition team for the fi rst merger of two Division I conferences.

He entered the fi eld of intercollegiate athletics as assistant sports information director at Georgetown University in 1979 before moving on to become sports information director at Jacksonville University.

He has been actively involved in a number of NCAA committees. He most recently served as chair of the Playing Rules Oversight Panel (PROP). Previously, he was a member of the Baseball Rules Committee and the FCS Football Governance Committee and has served on several sub-committees of the Collegiate Commissioners Association (CCA).

Iamarino is a native of Monsey, N.Y., and a 1977 graduate of St. Bonaventure University, where he earned magna cum laude honors majoring in journalism. An amateur baseball historian, he is a member and contributor to the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) and has published articles for Baseball Digest magazine. He resides in Spartanburg, S.C., with his wife, Mary Ann, and son, P.J.
