INTRO THIS IS LSU PREVIEW COACHES LADY TIGERS REVIEW HISTORY

W.T. “Dub” Robinson TENNIS STADIUM

W.T. “Dub” Robinson Tennis Stadium (550) Since 1970, the W.T. Robinson Tennis Stadium has been the home of the LSU tennis program. The “Dub”, as it is affectionately referred to, has also undergone numerous renovations and improvements to keep up with collegiate tennis facilities across the nation.

Both the nationally ranked Tigers and Lady Tigers enjoy state-of-the-art locker rooms, a squad room, and brand new showers and bathrooms. The “Dub” was totally refurbished after the 2002 season to include a media room, an equipment room and a ground-floor viewing area for handicapped tennis fans.

Robinson Stadium, named in honor of LSU’s former winningest tennis coach, was completed in 1970 and is the site of the Tigers’ and Lady Tigers’ home outdoor matches. It features six varsity courts and six practice courts. Both the varsity and practice courts were resurfaced prior to the 2007 season, and new lights were added to the varsity courts after the season. The varsity courts feature an electronic scoreboard, along with six individual electronic scoreboards for each court that were added before the start of the 2009 season. The stadium can accommodate up to 550 spectators.

Since Tony Minnis took over the LSU women’s tennis program, the Lady Tigers have accumulated a 178-77 overall record at home. Their best season there came in 2000, where the Lady Tigers remained perfect at home throughout the season for only the third time in the stadium’s history. They advanced all the way to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 that year as well. LSU has only had one losing season at home since the Tony Minnis era began in 1992 with the rest of the years producing above-.500 marks.

W.T. “Dub” Robinson Facts LSU’s legendary men’s tennis coach W.T. Robinson, or “Dub” as he was lovingly known, single-handedly orchestrated the LSU tennis program’s rise to national prominence. In his nearly three decades as the head tennis coach at LSU, Robinson accumulated a 189-180-9 overall record and propelled the Tigers to a status among the nation’s elite.

Working with limited resources and a financially-deprived tennis program, LSU’s rise to the top of collegiate tennis can be traced back to Robinson’s warm personality and quick wit. Always a favorite among his players, Robinson transformed a team that had not won a match in three years into a team that finished with a 12-1 record and a second-place finish in the Southeastern Conference in only his sixth season at the helm. His great-granddaughter, Hannah Robinson, played for the Lady Tigers from 2006-2010.

When the LSU tennis complex was completed in the fall of 1976, it was only natural that it was named after the person that built the program.

Computer Stations

The Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes is at the forefront of today’s educational technology. Since the spring of 2009, the academic center has upgraded over 170 computers, including both PC and Mac.

Media Training

The Library

The library provides a perfect setting for individual study, or with a tutor as a group.

LSU is one of the few schools where student-athletes go through media training to enhance their communication skills. Dr. Tommy Karam and Dr. Shirley White are two experts in the field who give training sessions to student-athletes here on campus. The Academic Center features a mock press conference setting to get student-athletes acclimated to giving interviews in front of both print and electronic media. Karam and White record the mock interviews on camera and then provide feedback, allowing student-athletes to become more comfortable and confident when doing actual interviews.

Academic Center

A $15 million renovation to the Gym Armory in 2002 not only made it among the nation’s premier academic centers, but put it at the forefront.

Improvements to the existing center give LSU student-athletes the best opportunity for success by providing access to the latest technology, as well as an array of expanded services.

Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College has, throughout its 153year history, served the people of Louisiana, the region, the nation, and the world. LSU is creating a revolution, one of pervasive change and advancement. For the past seven years, the focus of the LSU community has been an increased commitment to excellence. Our progress has been dramatic and shows no sign of stopping.

Having witnessed many of yesterday’s possibilities become today’s tangible realities, the LSU community set forth to capitalize on its success. The goal was to improve our standing as a nationally competitive flagship university.

Following intense discussions among the LSU Board of Supervisors, campus administrators, faculty, and student leaders, the objectives required to reach this status crystallized, providing the impetus for LSU’s National Flagship Agenda.

Why LSU?

“I always knew that I wanted to pursue a professional career once my eligibility was over in college, so I wanted a school that would help me reach that goal. Because of its strong reputation and tradition, I chose LSU. I wanted to go to a school that was hardworking on and off the court and that would also improve its players’ games, and I found that at LSU. Being at LSU brought the best out of me and has made me a better team player, and that has been priceless for me in the real world. I think fondly of my time on the LSU team, and I am proud to be a part of the Lady Tiger family.”

“When you go back and get your degree, it says a lot about your work ethic. I accomplished things that I will never forget here. I come home to Miami, but a lot of people don’t know me like everyone in Baton Rouge and the fans. Baton Rouge and LSU has been my home. If I had to do it all over again, LSU would be the only place I would do it.”

“LSU has the greatest fans. Being a hometown girl from Baton Rouge, I knew LSU always took pride in its athletic program. You always hear about Tennessee and Connecticut, but I wanted to be able to help put LSU up there on the map with them. We accomplished a lot during my time. I wouldn’t change it for anything. I got to play for one of the greatest coaches in history in Coach Gunter. I got to play with a group of women that became my family.”

“This is a tremendous honor to graduate from LSU. Coming from Texas, I always knew this was the right choice. From my time on the court to the classroom, LSU has been home to me. Getting a degree is what it is all about and I thank everyone who had an impact on my time at LSU. What we accomplished and all of the friends I have made, that will always be a part of my life.”

The Southeastern Conference The Southeastern Conference men’s and women’s tennis programs continue to be among the nation’s leaders on the collegiate hard court, and the trend continued this past season.

The conference made another strong national showing in 2012 as the Florida women won their secondstraight national championship.

The Gator womens’ run marked the 26th-straight year that at least one SEC team advanced to the national semifinals.

All eight of the SEC’s national team titles have come in the last 18 years with Florida’s five (1992, 1996, 1998, 2003, 2011 and 2012) and Georgia’s two (1994 and 2000).

The league has garnered five NCAA women’s doubles titles since 1989 when Mississippi State’s Jackie Holden and Clair Pollard took the title. The conference’s last national doubles title was in 2001 by Florida’s Whitney Laiho and Jessica Lehnhoff.

SEC Commissioner

Michael L. Slive Commissioner

22 LSU

The office of the commissioner was formed in 1940 in Jackson due to the great amount of detail work developing, especially in recruiting and eligibility. Former Mississippi Governor Martin S. Conner took office as commissioner Aug. 21, 1940. Conner later became ill and the secretary of the conference, Dean N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee, served as acting commissioner during the fall of 1946.

The office moved to Birmingham with the appointing of Bernie H. Moore as the second full-time commissioner on Feb. 21, 1948. Moore, a former LSU coach, guided the SEC to national respect in his 18-year tenure. A.M. (Tonto) Coleman succeeded Moore upon his retirement April 1, 1966. The Alabama native, who was reared in Texas and experienced in athletic coaching and administration, served six and a half years.

Dr. H. Boyd McWhorter, then Dean of Arts and Sciences at Georgia, secretary of the league since 1967, accepted the position upon the retirement of Coleman Aug. 1, 1972.

2012-2013 WOMEN’S TENNIS MEDIA GUIDE

Under his leadership the SEC experienced unparalleled growth. In McWhorter’s first year the SEC distributed $1.57 million and 14 years later (1986), the league distributed $15 million in revenue to the member institutions.

Dr. Harvey W. Schiller, an Air Force colonel and faculty chair at the U. S. Air Force Academy, followed McWhorter upon retirement, taking office Sept. 15, 1986. Under his guidance the SEC established itself as a leader in the areas of athletic scholarship and marketing.

Roy F. Kramer succeeded Schiller on Jan. 10, 1990. Kramer, who has served on numerous NCAA committees, joined the league office after spending 12 years as athletic director at Vanderbilt. Kramer held the office of Commissioner for more than 12 years before retiring in the summer of 2002.

Michael L. Slive, who served as Commissioner of Conference USA for seven years, was appointed the seventh Commissioner of the Southeastern Conference on July 2, 2002.

On the Prowl Mike the Tiger was recently ranked in the top three in a Bleacher Report poll of college football’s top live mascots. Mike’s habitat is one of the most visited attractions in the state of Louisiana located in the shadows of the north endzone of Tiger Stadium.

MikeTHE TIGER History of Mike

Few mascots in the country are as admired as Mike the Tiger. LSU’s live Bengal mascot serves as the graphic image of all LSU athletic teams. The school has had six mascots, with the most recent, Mike VI, taking over the reign prior to the 2007 national championship football season.

LSU veterinarian Dr. David Baker began the search for the young tiger after his predecessor, Mike V, died in May 2007 of renal failure at the age of 17. The sevenyear-old Bengal/Siberian mix, formerly known as “Roscoe,” was donated to LSU by Great Cats of Indiana in Idaville, Ind., a nonprofit sanctuary and rescue facility for big cats and other large carnivores.

Mike’s ride through Tiger Stadium before home games in a travel trailer topped by the LSU cheerleaders is a school tradition. Before entering the stadium, his trailer on wheels is parked next to the opponent’s locker room in the southeast end of the stadium. Opposing players must make their way past Mike’s trailer to reach their locker room.

Tradition dictates that the Tigers will score a touchdown for every growl issued by Mike before a football game. For many years, Mike was prompted to roar by pounding on the cage. Objections of cruel punishment brought about the use of recorded growls

1936-1956 Trainer and namesake Mike Chambers with Mike I housed in City Park Zoo. to play to the crowd before the games. That practice was discontinued shortly afterward and today Mike participates in the pregame tradition without provocation.

In the mid-1980’s, pranksters cut the locks on Mike IV’s cage and freed him in the early-morning hours just days before the annual LSU-Tulane clash. Mike roamed free, playfully knocking down several small pine trees in the area, before being trapped in the Bernie Moore Track Stadium where police used tranquilizer guns to capture and return the Bengal Tiger to his home.

The incident was reminiscent of a kidnapping of Mike I many years ago by Tulane students before a Tiger-Green Wave battle.

Mike I

Prior to kickoff Mike VI and the LSU cheerleaders parade around the field of Tiger Stadium.

The original Mike was purchased from the Little Rock Zoo in 1936 for $750, with money contributed by the student body. Originally known as “Sheik” at the time of his purchase, his name was changed to Mike to honor Mike Chambers who served as LSU’s athletic trainer when the first mascot was purchased. The first Mike was housed in the Baton Rouge Zoo for one year before a permanent home was constructed near Tiger Stadium.

Mike I reigned for 20 years before dying of pneumonia.

Mike’s Habitat In 2005, a new environment (above) was created for Mike that is 15,000 square feet in size with lush planting, a large live oak tree, a beautiful waterfall and a stream evolving from a rocky backdrop overflowing with plants and trees. The habitat has, as a backdrop, an Italianate tower - a campanile - that creates a visual bridge to the Italianate architectural vernacular that is the underpinning of the image of the entire beautiful LSU campus. This spectacular habitat features state-of-the-art technologies, research, conservation and husbandry programs, as well as educational, interpretive and recreational activities. It is, in essence, one of the largest and finest Tiger habitats in the United States.

Sneaux Day On Dec. 11, 2008, a winter storm blanketed Baton Rouge that hadn’t been seen in decades.

The early white Christmas gave Mike VI, LSU’s live Bengal/Siberian tiger, a chance to relax and play in nearly two inches of accumulation.

The second Mike served a brief reign, lasting only through the 1957 season before dying of pneumonia in the spring of 1958.

He was born at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans and came to LSU on Sept. 28, 1956. The young tiger was held overnight in Tiger Stadium and unveiled Sept. 29, the opening day of the football season.

Just in time for the 1958 national championship season, Mike III was purchased from the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Wash., following a “national search” by then-athletic director Jim Corbett. The student body contributed $1,500 for the purchase of the tiger. Mike III served as mascot for 18 seasons, dying after the only losing season of his reign, as LSU posted a 5-6 record in 1975.

Mike IV reigned over Tiger athletics for 14 years after being donated to the school by August A. Busch III from the Dark Continent Amusement Park in Tampa, Fla, on Aug. 29, 1976. Born on May 15, 1974, Mike’s age and health were determining factors in his retirement to the Baton Rouge Zoo in 1990. Mike IV died of old age in March of 1995 at the age of 21.

Mike V was donated by Dr. Thomas and Caroline Atchison of the Animal House Zoological Park in Moulton, Ala. Dr. Sheldon Bivin of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine traveled to Alabama and brought the baby tiger back to Baton Rouge. Born Oct. 18, 1989, the new tiger was introduced to LSU fans at a basketball game against Alabama in February of 1990. He officially began his reign on April 30, 1990, when he was moved into the tiger habitat across from Tiger Stadium. Mike V died on May 18, 2007, at the age of 17.

Mike VI arrived in Baton Rouge on Aug. 25, 2007, thanks to the donation by Great Cats of Indiana. He was officially designated as the successor to Mike V on Sept. 8, when LSU played host to Virginia Tech. Six days later, on Sept. 14, 2007, a ceremony was held to honor Mike V and dedicate the habitat to Mike VI. The seven-year-old Bengal/Siberian mix, formerly known as “Roscoe,” reigned over a football national title in his first year and most recently, a 2011 Southeastern Conference championship and perfect regular season.

About LSU Retired Jerseys

The retirement of the jerseys of Casanova, McDonald, Macklin and Augustus comes under a new provision of the LSU jersey retirement bylaws that says the retirement of an athlete’s jersey in a particular sport does not preclude a current student-athlete in that sport from wearing the jersey number in that or any other sport, subject to the discretion of the head coach. This provision applies only to jerseys retired after January 1, 2007, so the numbers worn by Maravich, Pettit, O’Neal, Cannon and Bertman may never again be worn by future student-athletes in their respective sports. To have a jersey retired at LSU, an athlete must have completed intercollegiate competition for LSU a minimum of five years prior to nomination. Athletes must have demonstrated truly unusual and outstanding accomplishments, exceeding and in addition to all criteria used for Hall of Fame selection.

Nominees must have a unanimous vote of support from the Hall of Fame committee.

The fledgling program began with eight players who bought their own racquets and balls. It has since developed into a national collegiate tennis power over the decades. From the early days of limited schedules and funding, the LSU program has come a long way, becoming a dominant tennis power in the state of Louisiana and making its presence known regionally and nationally.

In 1975, the Lady Tigers signed their first collegiate player to an athletic scholarship for the following season, acquiring Ann Ellis from Houston. Next was Karen McCarter, a walk-on from a big tennis family in Shreveport, La. The following year, Kay McDaniel, another Shreveport product, and Elizabeth Palfrey of Baton Rouge joined the Lady Tiger family, and LSU was on its way to becoming a national power, finishing in the top 20 in the nation for the first time.

The Lady Tigers experienced an outstanding recruiting season in 1976-77, signing the No. 1-ranked player in the South in Ebie Taylor of Mobile, Ala. From Texas came two outstanding players in Lisa Boettcher of Pasadena and Carol Reger of Fort Worth. With those players, LSU won the state championship, placed in the top 10 at nationals and produced the first Lady Tiger All-Americans in tennis, Kay McDaniel and Ebie Taylor.

The program has continued to flourish, finishing in the top 30 of the final national rankings 11 times since 1991.

All-Americans

In its 37-year history, the LSU women’s tennis program has produced an All-American 12 times. Only three years after the official inaugural season, two Lady Tigers were named All-Americans in 1978 as Ebie Taylor and Kay McDaniel, Nos. 2 and 12 on the all-time wins list at LSU, respectively, earned the honor.

Sixteen years later, the next selection came in the form of Suzana Rodrigues, who earned her status as a singles All-American as a freshman in 1994. Fifth on the list of all-time wins, Rodrigues was named an All-American again as a senior in 1997, that year receiving recognition for her outstanding doubles play.

Her partner Laura Olave shared the All-America distinction that year. Another pair was recognized as All-Americans in 2000 when Bruna Colosio and Ana Paula Mores won the award. Fittingly, they each ended their careers with the same number of match wins, 97, which places them in a tie for eighth on the all-time wins list. Colosio was named a singles All-American again in 2001, finishing her career as one of the top players to wear the Purple and Gold.

LSU’s latest All-American, Megan Falcon had arguably the most successful season in Lady Tiger history as a sophomore in 2006-07. The Alameda, Calif., native enjoyed a stellar debut, reeling off win after win at the ITA All-American Championships in the fall of 2006. By the time the tournament ended for Falcon, she had defeated nine ranked opponents, including five in the top 50.

After her fast start, Falcon began the spring of 2007 ranked No. 2 in the nation. Playing all of her dual season matches at the No. 1 spot in singles, Falcon went 24-0 and ran her record to an amazing 34-2 heading into the NCAA Individual Championships.

Accomplishing something no other Lady Tiger had ever done before, Falcon raced to the semifinals of the championships, only dropping

one set along the way. En route to the final four, Falcon knocked off four ranked opponents, pushing her record against ranked adversaries to 26-2 on the year. However, Falcon’s pursuit of the individual national championship was denied when USC’s Lindsey Nelson defeated her, 7-6(2), 6-2. Overall, Falcon finished 38-3 and tied for seventh in school history with 38 wins in a single season in 2006-07.

After an amazing individual season, Falcon deservingly received several accolades. She was named an ITA All-American in singles finishing ranked No. 2 in the nation - the 2007 Southeastern Conference Player of the Year, First Team All-SEC, Southwest Regional Player to Watch, ITA National Co-Player to Watch, Honda Award Finalist, LSWA Louisiana Player of the Year and the LSWA Newcomer of the Year.

One season later in 2007-08, Falcon followed up her brilliant sophomore campaign by earning a second singles All-America honor. To open the fall season Falcon was ranked No. 1 in the nation the first Lady Tiger to be crowned as the nation’s top singles player. For the second straight season Falcon led LSU in wins with a 27-7 record, including 12 victories over ranked opponents, and she finished the year ranked No. 15. Falcon again captured the ITA All-American Championships consolation title in the fall. Just like in 2007, Falcon earned First-Team All-SEC honors and was named LSWA Louisiana Player of the Year as well as earning ITA Scholar-Athlete recognition for the first time in her career.

For her senior campaign, Falcon completed her incredible run at LSU, listing eighth on the program’s all-times wins list with a 99-18 career

1978 SINGLES ALL-AMERICAN Kay McDaniel, who played for LSU from 197579, racked up 92 wins in a Lady Tigers’ uniform, a number that places her 12th on the list of alltime winningest players in LSU women’s tennis history. She is also third on the list of match wins in a single season with 43 in 1977-78. McDaniel became the first LSU women’s tennis All-America selection, along with Ebie Taylor, in 1978, a year that saw the Lady Tigers go 19-5 and earn the title of Louisiana AIAW Champion.

She next toured the professional courts from 1980-86, competing against such players as Billie Jean King, Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova and Steffi Graf. She once ranked as high as No. 30 in singles (1983) and No. 20 in doubles (1986).

The United States Tennis Association Tennessee Hall of Fame named McDaniel to its list of 2005 inductees, and she was honored at a banquet on Feb. 5, 2005, at the Nashville Marriott in Nashville, Tenn.

LSU Interim Chancellor/ President

LSU

Dr. William L. Jenkins Interim President/ Interim Chancellor, LSU

Dr. William L. Jenkins is serving his second term as President of the Louisiana State University System, which has an annual budget of $3.4 billion and more than 54,000 students at 10 institutions, including four academic campuses, a law center, one of the world’s leading obesity research centers, a statewide AgCenter extension service, two health science centers and 10 public hospitals.

Jenkins returned to his duties leading the LSU System as Interim President after serving until 2007 as the fifth system chief executive. In June he was also named the Interim Chancellor of the Baton Rouge LSU campus.

Prior to becoming System President, Dr. Jenkins, a veterinary scholar, held virtually every major administrative position at LSU, including provost and chancellor, since coming to the university as Dean of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine in 1988.

Jenkins’ tenure as System President was marked by unprecedented growth and challenges, including destruction at LSU institutions in New Orleans in the aftermath of hurricanes in the fall of 2005.

Although faced with a fiscal crisis and deep budget cuts that disrupted academics and forced the furloughs and firings of thousands of LSU employees, Jenkins pressed for calm and reflexive responses to the calamities.

A South Africa native, Dr. Jenkins received his veterinary medicine degree from the University of Pretoria in 1958 and specialist credentials in 1968. Following his graduation, he came to the United States where, in 1970, he received his Ph.D in veterinary medicine from the University of Missouri in Columbia. He returned to South Africa where he practiced veterinary medicine for four years before joining the faculty at the University of Pretoria, advancing through the ranks to become professor and head of the Department of Veterinary Physiology, Pharmacology and Toxicology.

In 1978, Dr. Jenkins became a member of the faculty in the Department of Veterinary Physiology and Pharmacology at Texas A&M University. He was appointed dean of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine in 1988 and was named LSU’s provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs in September 1993. Three years later in 1996, the LSU Board of Supervisors named him LSU’s fifth Chancellor.

As chancellor, Dr. Jenkins led the reorganization of the main campus administration to make it more efficient and lead the effort to produce a strategic plan, measures that were major factors in the crafting of LSU’s Flagship Agenda.

As a teacher and administrator, Dr. Jenkins has received numerous teaching and public service awards. In 1997, the Public Relations Association of Louisiana named him Communicator of the Year and the regional chapter of Toastmasters International presented him with its 1999 Communication and Leadership Award.

Other honors include the Vision of Excellence Award 2000 by the New Orleans Regional Chamber of Commerce and the New Orleans Chapter of MetroVision. In addition, his alma mater, the University of Pretoria, bestowed an Honorary Doctorate on Dr. Jenkins in September of 2000. The Southern Economic Development Conference also presented him with the Volunteer of the Year Award in 2004.

An active participant in national continuing education efforts, Dr. Jenkins has delivered more than 150 lectures and addresses to diverse groups in both the United States and abroad. The co-author of a textbook on veterinary pharmacology, Dr. Jenkins also has taught extensively at both the professional and graduate levels written more than 60 scientific articles and contributed 15 chapters to various collegiate textbooks.

Dr. Jenkins has been active in numerous professional and civic organizations as well as select national committees. He served on the National Institute of Health’s Alcohol Abuse and Misuse on College Campuses Committee and on a special Steering Committee of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools that reviewed accreditation criteria for colleges and universities. Dr. Jenkins also is a member of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges’ Committee on Food and Society and is a member of the Governor’s Advisory Commission on Coastal Restoration and Conservation.

In addition, he has served on a number of public boards such as the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, The Nature Conservancy of Louisiana, Teach for America South Louisiana, and the Greater Baton Rouge Chamber of Commerce.

Dr. Jenkins and his wife, Peggy, have four children—Sharon, Gwynn, Anthea, and Warren—and nine grandchildren.

Dr. Bill DeMastes Faculty Athletics Representative Dr. Bill DeMastes, a professor of English at LSU, is in his first year as Faculty Athletics Representative. Dr. Demastes earned his Ph.D in English in 1986 from the University of WisconsinMadison with a Field of Study of Drama as Genre and a speciailization in 20th-Century American and British Drama. He earned his masters in English in June 1979 from the Univeristy of Georgia in Athens where he specialized in 19th-Century American Literature.

He was honored with the LSU Alumni Association Faculty Excellence Award in 2000 and in 2002 won the LSU Distinguished Faculty Award.

He was named in 2009 an LSU Rainmaker which is given to the top 100 LSU Faculty. In 2010 he was named the Tiger Athletic Foundation undergraduate Teaching Award University College and in the summer of 2011 was named the Harry Ransom Summer Fellowship recipient from the University of Texas.

Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics

LSU

Joe Alleva LSU Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics Joe Alleva continues to bring unprecedented national recognition to LSU as Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics. Under Alleva’s leadership, LSU enjoys one of the country’s premier athletics programs with success on and off the field of competition. Now in his fifth year at LSU, Alleva is dedicated to athletic and academic excellence, and is committed to providing the opportunities and the resources necessary for studentathletes to excel in competition, in the classroom and in the community. LSU’s prominence was evident in the final 2011-12 Capital One Cup standings that recognize the nation’s best athletic programs. With a national championship and three Southeastern Conference titles during the year, the Tigers finished fourth in both the men’s and women’s Capital One Cup competition, one of only two schools in the country – and the only one in the SEC -- to rank in the top four in both categories.

Alleva joined the LSU family on April 4, 2008 after a highly successful tenure as director of athletics at Duke University for 10 years. Alleva’s role at LSU was further expanded in August of 2009 when vice chancellor was added to his title by the LSU Board of Supervisors.

It is the first time in school history that the director of athletics has also held a vice chancellor position.

Alleva is currently serving a fiveyear term on the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee, reinforcing his position as one of the most respected athletic administrators in the country.

Upon his arrival at LSU, Alleva unveiled a strategic master plan for the LSU athletics program -- “LSU: Thru and True” -- to ensure the advancement and future of LSU Athletics as an exemplary program. The central mission of the plan is to create an environment for student-athletes to reach their ultimate potential, prepare them to be champions in life and to set out goals and values for the entire athletics program.

Alleva’s vision will keep LSU among the nation’s leaders in athletic facilities.

He launched an aggressive fund-raising campaign to replace several hundred windows on Tiger Stadium that were in disrepair and a new coating to the façade of the structure is bringing the old stadium to new life. A renovated gating system on the west side of the stadium will debut in the fall of 2012 to include a plaza that celebrates LSU’s football national championships and recognition walls that honor Tiger AllAmericans.

Also in the fall of 2012, LSU begins construction on an expansion of the South End Zone of the stadium -- a project that will add premium seating, general public seating and two stateof-the-art video boards -- continuing an effort to augment one of the most iconic venues in all of college sports.

Under Alleva’s direction, LSU’s world-renowned track and field program received a state-of the-art running surface in 2010 when a new track was installed in Bernie Moore Stadium. Extensive renovations to the Tiger soccer facility were completed last fall, and future plans include a new gymnastics practice facility, a tennis complex and renovations to the Maravich Center and Carl Maddox Field House.

Alleva directed a major renovation to the University Club golf course that was completed in September 2010 and allows the LSU men’s and women’s golf teams to compete on one of

the most challenging courses in the country. The renovated course helped prepare Tiger golfers John Peterson and Austin Ernst, respectively, to win 2011 NCAA men’s and women’s individual championships, marking the first time both titles were claimed by players from the same school. The Lady Tiger golfers have finished third at the NCAA Championships two years in a row, marking the highest finishes in LSU history.

LSU Athletics completed another highly successful year in 2011-12 as 18 of the Tigers’ 20 varsity sports participated in NCAA post-season competition. The year was highlighted by the football team’s undefeated regular season, an SEC championship and an appearance in the BCS National Championship Game.

The Lady Tiger track and field team captured the SEC and NCAA outdoor championships while the LSU softball squad advanced to the Women’s College World Series. The Fighting Tiger baseball team won the 2012 SEC championship, and LSU led the nation in attendance for the 17th straight season. The 2011-12 season marked the first time in school history that LSU won both the SEC title in both football and baseball in the same athletic year.

But the 2011-12 year was about more than just athletic success. Living up to Alleva’s mantra of “competition, classroom, community,” LSU studentathletes logged more than 3,700 hours in community service work across 20 sports through LSU’s Geaux Givers program. And 62 proud Tigers received their degrees from the university during LSU commencement ceremonies in May.

Outstanding performances of the

2010-11 athletic season included the exploits of the Fighting Tiger football squad that posted an 11-2 mark – including a Cotton Bowl victory – and finished the season ranked No. 8 in the nation. The year also featured Top 5 national finishes both indoors and outdoors by the men’s and women’s track and field teams.

In 2008-09, all 20 LSU sports competed in NCAA postseason play for the first time in school history and the Tiger baseball team won the national championship. LSU ranked second among Southeastern Conference teams in the Learfield Director’s Cup All-Sports standings and finished in the Top 20 for the sixth year in a row.

With a strong commitment to academics, Alleva ensures that the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes is a first-class facility that provides student-athletes the resources necessary for success in the classroom and personal development.

The facility was recently enhanced by the addition of a media training center that gives student-athletes valuable assistance in improving their communications skills.

And with a strong emphasis on community service and outreach programs, the implementation under Alleva’s direction of the “Geaux Givers” program fosters a relationship between the local community and LSU studentathletes, who regularly participate in philanthropic events. In addition, Alleva has bolstered the department’s L-Club program to reach out and connect with former student-athletes.

Alleva oversees a staff of outstanding coaches and he has made

critical additions to LSU’s coaching staff over the past two years. He hired former LSU guard Johnny Jones in April to breathe new life and enthusiasm into the men’s basketball program and recently added Julia Sell as the new women’s tennis coach. Last year, he lured the dynamic Nikki Caldwell to LSU to coach the Lady Tiger basketball team and then hired Beth Torina to direct the Tiger softball program, both of whom immediately returned their respective programs to NCAA post-season success.

Alleva is an innovator with bold ideas that benefit not only LSU but all of Greater Baton Rouge. He has been instrumental in the planning of the Bayou Country Superfest, a two-day country music concert and festival held in Tiger Stadium each spring. The event attracts nearly 100,000 visitors to the LSU campus and makes a tremendous economic impact upon the local community.

Alleva has served on numerous national committees throughout his career including the Football Bowl Certification Committee, the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet and several Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference committees.

He became director of athletics at Duke in 1998 and his impressive tenure there propelled the university into the ranks of America’s top allaround collegiate programs. Among his outstanding list of accomplishments includes the greatest 10-year period in Duke Athletics, winning more ACC and NCAA championships than in any other decade in school history.

Alleva, whose hometown is Suffern, N.Y., majored in Finance at Lehigh University and received his bachelor’s degree in 1975. While at Lehigh, Alleva was the quarterback of the football team and team captain in 1974. Alleva also played on the Lehigh baseball team.

He served as a graduate assistant football coach and earned an MBA in 1976.

While at Duke, Alleva played a key role in Durham’s community sports scene. He started Little League Baseball in Durham over 20 years ago, and also began the American Legion baseball program.

He is a member of the North Carolina American Legion Hall of Fame, Suffern High School Hall of Fame and the Rockland County Hall of Fame.

Alleva and his wife, Annie, have three children, J.D., Jeff, and Jenny.
