Co l l in s Fa m ily So f t ball Com p le x - Tu lsa , O k la . The Collins Family Softball Complex is home to The University of Tulsa softball team. The complex, which opened for play in 2002, did so as TU softball’s first on-campus softball home. The softball stadium is a picturesque setting featuring a burmed sitting area with a facade of Tennessee Ledgestone that matches the rest of the TU campus. The field also features a shrub-lined outfield fence, as well as an outfield warning track, bullpens and batting cages along with a press box and scoreboard. Sunken dugouts are located just below the seating, which includes a capacity of approximately 1,000. Completed in January 2012, the locker room facility was added beyond the right field fence. The building provides the Hurricane a team locker room and team room, as well as coaches’ game day office and umpire locker rooms. The softball field and locker room facility complex, named in honor of former Chairman of the TU Board of Trustees, the late Fulton Collins, and his wife Susie, is part of the larger Donna J. Hardesty Sports Complex that also includes the soccer field, track, multi-purpose recreational field, student health and fitness center, student apartments and additional campus parking. The cost of the development exceeded $31 million. The 30-acre development to the west of Delaware Avenue extends from 10th Street to Fourth Place and Delaware Avenue to Columbia Avenue.

@AMERICAN_SBALL In the course of its first two seasons, the American Athletic Conference has taken a place at the forefront of intercollegiate athletics, earning a collection of national team and individual championships and football postseason wins that place The American among the elite Division I conferences. The American consists of 12 prestigious institutions: the University of Central Florida, the University of Cincinnati, East Carolina University, the University of Connecticut, the University of Houston, the University of Memphis, the U.S. Naval Academy (in football only), the University of South Florida, Southern Methodist University, Temple University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa. Under the leadership of commissioner Mike Aresco, the American Athletic Conference has written an impressive list of accomplishments, both in and out of the competitive arena. The league has produced three NCAA championship teams – UConn men’s basketball in 2014 and UConn women’s basketball in 2014 and 2015 – and two individuals who have won NCAA titles, most recently SMU’s Bryson Dechambeau, who was the 2015 national champion in men’s golf. Additionally, American Athletic Conference teams have advanced to the College World Series, the semifinal and final rounds of the NIT and the match play round of the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship. Half of the conference’s baseballplaying members reached the NCAA Championship in 2015, while The American had the best men’s basketball postseason record of any conference in 2014, when conference teams were a combined 13-4. Teams from The American have registered top-10 national rankings in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s soccer and men’s golf. The American is quickly making its mark in professional sports as well, beginning with the selection of UCF quarterback Blake Bortles by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the No. 3 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. More recently, a number of American Athletic

Conference athletes have been selected in the first round of the professional entry drafts in football, basketball, baseball and soccer. UConn’s Cyle Larin was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 Major League Soccer SuperDraft as he was chosen by Orlando City SC. UCF’s Romario Williams was taken by the Montreal Impact at No. 3, giving The American two of the top three picks in the draft. UConn’s Sergio Campbell went at No. 19 to the Columbus Crew as the third pick from the conference in the first round. In the 2015 NFL Draft, UCF’s Breshad Perriman and UConn’s Byron Jones were selected consecutively in the first round – Perriman to the Baltimore Ravens at No. 26 overall and Jones to the Dallas Cowboys at No. 27. It was the second straight year in which The American had at least two first-round selections. UConn’s Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis was selected by the Seattle Storm with the No. 3 pick in the 2015 WNBA Draft, while UConn’s Kiah Stokes went 11th overall to the New York Liberty. Cincinnati outfielder Ian Happ, the 2015 American Athletic Conference Player of the Year, was chosen by the Chicago Cubs with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2015 Major League Baseball Draft. In football, two American Athletic Conference football teams were ranked in the top 15 of the final 2013 Associated Press poll, while Memphis finished the season in the top 25 of the 2014 polls as Tigers tied UCF and Cincinnati for the conference title. Six of the 12 teams that compete in The American in 2015 played in bowl games to cap the 2014 season as Memphis, Houston and Navy earned postseason victories. Teams in The American have enjoyed almost unprecedented success since the conference’s formation. Memphis finished with 10 wins in football for the first time since 1938. SMU advanced to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship for the first time since 1993. UCF and Houston have both achieved top-10 rankings in baseball in the past two years. USF finished the 2014-15 season at No. 8 in the final men’s golf national ranking.The UConn women’s basketball team won its NCAA-record ninth and 10th national championships as a member of The American. The American Athletic Conference holds media rights partnerships with ESPN and CBS Sports which give the conference outstanding national exposure on the two industry leaders in sports television. The football

portion of the contract calls for nearly 90 percent of conference-controlled games on national broadcast or national cable platforms. The first American Athletic Conference Football Championship, which will be played Dec. 5, 2015, will be carried on either ABC or ESPN on Championship Saturday. In men’s basketball, the television deal calls for all conference-controlled games to be televised, with more than 63 percent slotted for national broadcast or national cable – a minimum of 107 games. The entire postseason tournament will be televised, including the championship game, which will be on ABC or ESPN. Sixty percent of the American’s women’s basketball games will be carried on national cable, regional sports networks or ESPN3, while the conference has a multiyear agreement with CBS Sports Network for coverage of select baseball games. American Athletic Conference teams have access to the pinnacle of college football’s postseason structure. An American representative would be chosen for the College Football Playoff semifinals if it is among the top four teams in the CFP selection committee’s final ranking. Otherwise, the league would place its champion in either the Vizio Fiesta Bowl or the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl if it is ranked higher than the champions of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt Conference. Additionally, The American holds primary or secondary partnerships with 12 bowls for the current six-year cycle, ensuring multiple annual matchups against the nation’s top conferences and providing desirable postseason destinations to member institutions and their fans. The American Athletic Conference administers to its membership from a state-of-the-art office located in Providence, R.I. The location of the conference headquarters – just steps from the city’s Amtrak station and 10 minute from T.F. Green Airport – gives the conference easy access to its memberschools. The conference headquarters is equipped with a complete video production studio, serving as the home of the American Digital Network, and small- and large-scale meeting rooms to accommodate the many coaches’ and administrators’ meetings held on-site each year.
