GET TO KNOW

BRYAN LONDON II SENIOR • LINEBACKER • CONVERSE, TEXAS

What attracted you to Texas State during the recruiting process? “It was the history of the linebackers who were playing here. Just seeing David Mayo, Joplo Bartu and Mike Orakpo play the game made me want to play on a level like that.”

Who are the main inspirations in your life? “My mom, my dad and my sisters. My sisters are real big. They’re always doing something and always trying to get better. It encourages me to never stop and get complacent. My little sister has her hand in every organization at UNT. It makes me want to go harder. My older sister is learning how to be a better mom while working. They just inspire me to go harder.”

How do you feel like you have improved since joining the Bobcats? “I have improved a lot. Coming from (a 3A school), you didn’t have to worry as much about technique. It was just, go play the game. My football IQ has increased tremendously (at Texas State). I know what to expect a lot of the times, and I understand why I’m doing what I do.”

How have your mom and dad inspired you? My parents are go getters. They are always doing something new. Every time I go home my mom has a new project. She’s a nurse, makes shirts, sells real estate and sells cooking ware. She does everything! My dad is always in classes. He is in postgraduate school and always wants to learn. He’s always reading books and going to seminars. My parents are still wanting to get better and become better-rounded.”

What’s been the mindset for the defense this year? Our mindset has been “attacking.” We want to be the aggressors. We try to play physical and fast while trying to create havoc on every play.” Has that been the key to getting turnovers early in the season? “Creating turnovers and takeaways is just a mindset. If you have 11 guys getting to the ball and making a play, it creates opportunity for turnovers.”

What are you majoring in grad school? “Right now, I’m pursuing my MBA. My goal is to get into leadership development. I feel like it’s a big key. I’ve had experiences with bad workplace leadership and it ruined my whole experience. So how can you be a good leader and boost morale? Productivity is interesting to me.”

What has it been like to play for Everett Withers? “I’m grateful for the experience to play for Coach Withers. He is always (emphasizing) that we need to learn, improve and enhance things. Sometimes it’s easy for me to get comfortable at what I’m good at and not improve on my weaknesses. He is someone who is going to command that you do things you do well and not ignore the things (on which) you can improve.”

His Favorite:

Actor- “My favorite actor is Will Smith because he is so diverse. I feel like he could play any role no matter the range. I-ROBOT is my favorite movie. It is a little cheesy, but I’ve watched it about 50 times. Just for him to act in movies such as Hitch and Malcom X makes him well-rounded.”

How has Coach Woods impacted your game this year? “He has impacted my game a lot. He taught me things about the game that I didn’t know before. He taught me different ways of doing things and he tries to make me into a better student.”

Class-“That’s a tough one! My favorite class is money and banking. I took it last year. It’s just learning more about money, the different systems and the processes money has to go through. It is pretty interesting.”

What’s the main thing you’ve learned during the last two years? “The main thing I’ve learned over the last two years is the importance of the small things. This has been the first year where I’m doing“the extra”to get better. I’m leaving no stones unturned. I’m spending extra time in the training room. In the film room, I’m doing extra (work) on top of what the coaches want from us. So far, it’s been paying off.”

Bobcat Tradition- “Jumping in the river after graduation. I feel like it’s a cool way to end a chapter. My undergraduate time here is one of the best experiences of my life and just to cap it off by jumping in the river with everyone’s families crying is a cool experience.” NFL Player- “My favorite all time player was Chad Johnson. I liked the way he played the game. He would beat you and then make sure you knew about it. I found that really interesting. My favorite current player is Luke Kuechly. I like the way he plays the game because I feel like there’s not a tackle he doesn’t want to make. He’s all over the field. You’ll never see him not around the ball.”

How do you set an example for other players? “I try to do everything to the best of my abilities. There are some things that I’m obviously not great at, but I’m making daily improvements. That’s one thing I try to make sure that everyone sees me do. I feel that when people have success sometimes, they become too big to learn and I never want to get to that point. I feel like there’s always another level I’m trying to reach. So, I just show younger players that you can learn something from anybody and you should always try to learn.”

Professional Athlete- “LeBron James is the best athlete of all time.” Sport other than football- “Soccer. I wish I would have grown up playing soccer. The World Cup is the best sporting event in the world.” 6

COACHING STAFF

EVERETT WITHERS HEAD COACH TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY

In his sixth year as a head football coach, Everett Withers is in his third year at helm of the Texas State program. Withers was named Texas State’s 19th head coach on January 6, 2016 after guiding James Madison to a pair of NCAA Division I FCS Playoff appearances and leading North Carolina to the 2011 Independence Bowl. Withers utilized his first two seasons with the Bobcats to implement a total cultural transformation. Featured were renovations and visual upgrades in the team’s End Zone Complex, new uniforms and helmets, and new lockers in the locker room. Texas State’s football players improved on the field, succeeded in the classroom at a record-setting pace and performed community service in the city of San Marcos and Hays County. In 2017, the Bobcats ranked among the nation’s top 40 teams in rushing defense after allowing 141.7 yards per game and was 43rd in third down defense after allowing a 36.1 conversion percentage. Offensively, Texas State improved during the final five games last season when the Bobcats averaged over 389 yards of total offense and nearly 23 points after netting 304 yards and 13.4 points per contest in the first seven games. In his first season at the school, Withers won his coaching debut at Texas State with a triple overtime victory at Ohio when the Bobcats set a school record for most completions in a game with 40 and tied another record with 418 yards passing. Later in 2016, Texas State set school records for most passing yards and touchdown passes in a game when the Bobcats threw for 475 yards and five TDs against Incarnate Word. In addition, Texas State’s special teams led the nation with eight blocked kicks and Anthony D. Taylor was the national leader with three blocked punts. Ishmael Davis also blocked two kicks to rank fourth nationally. In 2017, Withers and his staff produced seven All-Sun Belt Conference players, including Second-Team tight end Gabe Schrade, Third-Team offensive lineman Aaron Brewer and Third-Team linebacker Frankie Griffin. The Bobcats also had four All-SBC Honorable Mention players in each of the last two years and one SBC All-Newcomer team member in 2016. In the 2017 fall semester, Marcus Ripley was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team, senior linebacker Gabe Loyd was a semifinalist for the Campbell Trophy and the football team recorded a combined 106 3.0 GPAs in the 2017-18 fall and spring semesters. Texas State had 71 3.0 GPAs and 25 players were named to the Dean’s List during the 2016-17 fall and spring semesters. Texas State’s football team was heavily involved in community service when the Bobcats performed nearly 1,000 combined hours for different projects in each of the last two years. These projects included helping with youth football camps, reading programs in elementary schools, restoration projects along the San Marcos River, serving local

food banks, preparing an orchard for a community garden, assisting with Keep San Marcos Beautiful and downtown beautification projects. HEAD COACH AT JMU Withers came to Texas State after leading James Madison to a combined 18-7 overall record, including a combined 12-4 record in the Colonial Athletic Association in 2014 and 2015. Under Withers, the Dukes won a share of a CAA championship in 2015, the school’s first conference title since 2008, and finished third in the CAA in 2014 after being a predicted to finish eighth.. James Madison also set a school record with a 14-game, regular-season winning streak after the Dukes won the final seven games of the 2014 season and began the 2015 campaign with a 7-0 record. JMU also tied a school record by winning 10 straight CAA games. In his two seasons at James Madison, Withers laid a foundation that helped the program win a Division I FCS national title in 2016. His offense produced record-setting quarterback Vad Lee, who tied a school record with 51 touchdown passes in just 21 career games and ranks second among JMU’s career leaders in total offense with 7,292 yards, and third in 5,662 passing yards, 446 completions and 705 attempts. Lee also became the only player in NCAA Division I history (FCS and FBS) to pass and run for 275 yards in the same game when he threw for 289 yards and rushed for 275 yards in James Madison’s 48-45 victory over SMU on Sept. 26. He also was the first player to win the “Bill Dudley Awards” in back-to-back years, 2014 and 2015. The award is given to the top NCAA football player in Virginia. Withers led James Madison to a 9-3 record and had a 6-2 league mark to earn a No. 5 seed in the 2015 NCAA Division I FCS Playoffs and hosted the school’s first home playoff game in seven years when the Dukes played Colgate in the second round. JMU had one of the top offenses in the nation in 2015 and ranked second among FCS teams in scoring and total offense with 44.3 points and 528.8 yards per game. The team led the FCS in third-down conversions with 54 percent, while ranking fourth in pass completion percentage with 66.9 percent, seventh in rushing with 273.8 yards per game and ninth in red-zone scoring with 89.4 percent. JMU also set a school record with 6,345 yards of total offense after rushing for 3,285 yards and passing for 3,060 yards. James Madison also excelled on its special teams after ranking seventh in kickoff returns (24.3 yards per return), 15th in net punting (37.7 yards per punt) and 11th with two blocked punts. Withers coached 10 All-Colonial Athletic Conference players in 2015, including Lee, who was named the CAA Offensive Player of the Year after he led the nation in total offense with 375.5 yards per game and completion percentage with 68.3 percent.

That year, James Madison set school records in total offense, passing offense, completions and touchdown passes and ranked 10th nationally in total offense with 484.6 yards per game. The Dukes also were the 17th-best scoring team and ranked 21st in both passing offense and rushing offense. Defensively, the Dukes ranked second in the country in turnover margin (+1.08), 12th in total fumble recoveries (14) and 13th in sacks per game (2.85). They also had one of their best seasons on record in terms of blocks, ranking sixth in total blocks (7), including a No. 3 ranking in blocked punts (4).

Four players from his inaugural team signed free-agent contracts with National Football League teams: Marlowe (Carolina Panthers), Daniel Brown (Baltimore Ravens), Sage Harold (Kansas City Chiefs) and Brandon Lee (Seattle Seahawks).

Withers spent one year as defensive coordinator at Minnesota and was a defensive backs coach at Texas under his former collegiate coach, Mack Brown, from 1998-2000 after serving as a defensive coordinator, assistant head coach and defensive backs coach at Louisville from 1995-97. He was also a defensive backs and assistant special teams coach at Southern Mississippi in 1992-93, outside linebackers coach at Tulane in 1991 and defensive coordinator/defensive backs in 1988-89 and tight ends and special teams coach in 1990 at Austin Peay. COACHING IN THE NFL While he was with the Tennessee Titans of the NFL in 2001-06, Withers served as a defensive backs coach under Jeff Fisher. Tennessee won an AFC South championship in 2002 and earned playoff berths in 2002 and 2003. He coached All-AFC players in Lance Schulters in 2002 and Adam “Pacman” Jones in 2005. The Titans also ranked among the NFL’s top five teams in rushing defense three times. While he was the defensive backs coach of the Titans, the squad ranked among the top 10 defenses overall in 2002. Tennessee also had 57 interceptions from 2002-04, the best three-year total for the franchise, fourth-best in the AFC and eighth-best in the NFL. The Titans recorded 21 interceptions in 2004, with 16 coming from the Withers-coached secondary. Withers also spent the 1994 season with the New Orleans Saints as a defensive quality control coach. A native of Charlotte, N.C., Withers was a four-year letterman as a defensive back at Appalachian State. He served as team captain under Mack Brown in 1984. He and his wife, Kara, have a daughter, Tia, and a son, Pierce, who is a freshman defensive back for the Bobcats.

31 SEASONS IN COACHING IN THE NCAA DIVISION I RANKS AND NFL Beginning his 31st season in coaching, Withers has split time between the collegiate and NFL ranks. He is in his 24th year in the collegiate ranks and coached seven seasons in the NFL. In addition to coaching at Texas State and James Madison, Withers served coaching stints at Ohio State, North Carolina, Minnesota, Texas, Louisville, Southern Miss, Tulane and Austin Peay. He also was an NFL assistant coach for six seasons with the Tennessee Titans and spent one year on the New Orleans Saints coaching staff.

RISING THROUGH THE RANKS Withers went to James Madison in January 2014 from The Ohio State University, where he served as assistant head coach, co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach in 2012 and 2013. The Buckeyes set a school record with a 24-game winning streak and had a 24-2 record during his tenure. Ohio State had a 12-0 record and finished No. 3 in the national rankings in 2012. It was the sixth unbeaten and untied season in school history. The Buckeyes also ranked second in the Big Ten with 14 interceptions, and all four starting defensive backs earned All-Big Ten Conference recognition in 2012. Withers also coached another safety who earned Honorable Mention All-Big Ten Conference recognition in 2013. Prior to accepting his position with Ohio State, Withers spent four years at North Carolina. He was promoted to interim head coach in July 2011 and led the Tar Heels to a 7-6 overall record and a berth in the Independence Bowl against Missouri. His first defensive unit (in 2008) ranked eighth nationally with 20 interceptions, which was just one shy of setting a UNC single-season record in 2008. His 2009 defense ranked sixth in total defense, 10th in rushing, 13th in scoring and 14th in passing defense. His 2010 unit was fourth in the ACC and 30th nationally.

Additionally, his defenses picked off 71 passes in four seasons.

The Texas State University System has a long and illustrious history in Texas. In fact, it is the THEoldest TEXAS STATE SYSTEM and third largest higherUNIVERSITY education system in the Lone Star State. Beginning as an administrative means to consolidate the support and management of state teacher colleges, the System has evolved into a network of higher education institutions stretching from the Texas–Louisiana border to the Big Bend region of far West Texas. Today, seven System components offer a broad range of academic and career pathways. Throughout the System are professionals committed to preparing students for working and contributing to an increasingly global society. The academic and professional programs offered help students learn to make sound decisions in life and to become contributors in their communities. Each university, college and institute within The Texas State University System is unique.

The member institutions are Texas State University, Sam Houston State University, Lamar University, Lamar Institute of Technology, Lamar State College-Orange, Lamar State College-Port Arthur and Sul Ross State University. The Texas State University System is governed by a nine-member Board of Regents appointed by the Governor. In addition, a nonvoting student regent is appointed annually to the Board. The administration, which is headed by a board-appointed Chancellor, is based in Austin where it provides support to the System components and state government. Members of the Board of Regents are: Rossanna Salazar (Chairman), William F. Scott (Vice Chairman), Charlie Amato, Garry Crain, Veronica Muzquiz Edwards, Dr. Jaime Garza, David Montagne, Vernon Reaser III, Alan L. Tinsley and Leanna Mouton (Student Regent).

BOARD OF REGENTS

SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION

BRIAN MCCALL CHANCELLOR The Texas State University System

Brian McCall, Ph.D., is chancellor of the Texas State University System, the first university system established in Texas, comprising seven institutions with more than 84,000 students and 16,000 faculty and staff. Dr. McCall previously served in the Texas House of Representatives, first elected in 1991 to represent the areas of North Dallas, Frisco, Allen, and Plano. As a representative, he served as chairman of the House Calendars Committee and as a member of the Higher Education Committee. ‘Texas Monthly’ named McCall one of the “10 Best” legislators of the 2009 session. McCall wrote and passed one of the largest tax-cut bills in the history of Texas and during his last session secured $5 million in funding for The University of Texas at Dallas’ Center for Values and Medicine. Other legislative accomplishments include authoring and passing key bills in the areas of health care, biotechnology, high technology, identity theft, and tax and budget policy. He serves on the board of Legacy Texas Financial Group (NASDAQ: LTXB) and served as chairman of Texas’ Council of Public University Presidents and Chancellors (CPUPC), a position to which he was elected by the state’s 38 public university presidents and six chancellors. McCall was president of Westminster Capital Corporation, an investment firm focused on acquisitions primarily in software and technology. He and his brother, David, operate Snow Hill Farm north of Dallas. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Baylor University, a master’s degree from Southern Methodist University, spent a year as a visiting post-graduate student at Oxford University, and earned a doctor of philosophy degree from The University of Texas at Dallas. McCall is the author of ‘The Power of the Texas Governor: Connally to Bush,’ published by University of Texas Press, which examines how various governors have overcome the institutional limitations of the office to achieve significant political power. A long-time civic and community volunteer, McCall is founder and chairman of the board of The Empowerment Project, a non-profit organization which has sent more than $10 million worth of math and science books to disadvantaged schools in the Republic of South Africa, and helped construct a library in Vietnam through the Libraries of Love organization. The Empowerment Project also raised more than $350,000 to provide direct support for the medical needs of children in north Texas. McCall is the recipient of the 2012 Distinguished Alumni Award from The University of Texas at Dallas. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Philosophical Society of Texas, is president of the Board of Trustees of ZACH Theater in Austin, and serves on the board of directors of the National Association of System Heads—the association of the 46 leaders of the nation’s public university systems.

It was the 10th consecutive year that women’s tennis team, sixth straight year that the women’s golf team and third straight year that the women’s cross country team have received public recognition from the NCAA. Facility projects include a redesigned court and new seating in Strahan Arena, new playing surface for Jim Wacker Field at Bobcat Stadium, new practice courts for the basketball and volleyball teams, and construction and grand opening of new Bobcat baseball and softball stadiums. In addition, the Jerry D. and Linda Gregg Fields West Side Complex, which includes 15 luxury suites and 450 club seats, was added in 2009. A $33 million North Side Complex was added to Bobcat Stadium in 2012, increasing the seating capacity to 30,000. The first home game in the new stadium against Texas Tech saw a then-record crowd of 33,006 thanks to temporary seating in the south end zone for the game. The Bobcats have played in front of six of their seven largest crowds at Bobcat Stadium since 2014. A new track stadium was built for the 2012-13 season and Texas State’s track and field teams have new coaching offices, locker rooms, weight room and training room in the North End Zone Complex. The Bobcat Tennis Complex features covered seating, a $1 million indoor facility, a locker room, and a playing surface. The soccer stadium includes a locker room, weight room and training room. This fall, the University Events Center will open and increase seating to nearly 10,000 and add club seats for Strahan Arena, expand athletic locker rooms, weight room, offices, academic areas and support spaces for men’s and women’s

basketball, women’s volleyball, baseball and softball. It also include offices and support spaces for men’s and women’s golf, soccer and tennis. Texas State Athletics also has received its first four, million-dollar gifts since announcing its transition to the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). In 2018, El Paso businessman, philanthropist and Texas State Distinguished Alumnus Richard Castro has given a $1 million gift to the university to support scholarships for student-athletes. In 2016, Dan and Cindee Dipenhorst made a $1 million donation to match other philanthropic support for athletics scholarships. Jerry and Linda Fields donated more than $7 million to the program for Bobcat Stadium renovations to include the West Side Complex and Strutter Gallery in 2009 after providing a gift of $100,000 to help fund Texas State’s football season tickets drive for the 2008 season. The first $1 million gift to the department came from Darren B. Casey in 2008. Those donations have combined with record-setting corporate sponsorships. Teis also represents the Sun Belt Conference on the NCAA Division I Board of Directors Council, serves on the President’s Council at Texas State and reports directly to President Denise M. Trauth. President Trauth cited leadership skills, experience and values as elements that made him the right fit when she named Teis the Texas State’s eighth director of athletics in March 2004. Teis was honored as the 2005-06 General Sports TURF Systems AD of the Year Division I-AA West Region Winner, presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. In 2007, he was honored by the All-American Football Foundation with the General Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award. He assumed his current position after serving as associate athletic director for external affairs, and oversaw game management, marketing, promotions, facilities and ticket sales. Teis was also the administrator for the men’s and women’s golf, baseball and volleyball teams, as well as the Strutters. In addition, he oversaw the Bobcat Athletic Foundation from 1998-02. A native of Fort Worth, Teis came to Texas State after spending four years as the director of athletic marketing at TCU and three years as the assistant director of New Mexico’s Lobo Club. He holds a bachelor’s degree in marketing from TCU, a master’s in sports administration from St. Thomas University and a doctorate in HPER with an emphasis in sports administration from the University of New Mexico. Teis and his wife, Jana, have two daughters, Taylor, who earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Texas State, and Shelby, who is a current student at Texas State.

THE UNIVERSITY BOBCAT STADIUM-HOME OF THE BOBCATS

Bobcat Stadium, which serves as the home field for the Texas State Bobcats, originally opened in 1981 and was expanded to its current 30,000-seat capacity in 2012. The stadium includes a Football End Zone Complex that was built in 2002 and houses newly renovated offices, locker room and meeting areas, a full-service training center, weight room, equipment room and offices for the football coaches and support staff. The J. Garland Warren Reception Room is located on the second floor and serves as a banquet room for Texas State Athletics and is the site for press conferences and weekly football media updates. The playing surface is named Jim Wacker Field in honor of Texas State’s former football coach (1979-82) and athletic director (19982001). Wacker’s 42-8 record at Texas State is the best four-year mark in school history. He also led the Bobcats to a pair of back-to-back NCAA Division II national championships in 1981 and 1982. His 1982 team finished the season with a 14-0 record, and he was named the College Division Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association. He passed away on Aug. 26, 2003 after a lengthy battle with cancer. In 2006, the Bill Miller Room was dedicated in honor of Bill Miller, who is a former football coach (1965-78 when he compiled a record of 86-53-3) and athletic director in 1975-92. His 86 career victories are the most wins by a Texas State head football coach. Originally used to host Athletic Alumni functions during home football games, the room now serves as an academic study area for the Bobcat football team. The Jerry D. and Linda Gregg Fields West Side Complex added new premium seating consisting of 15 luxury suites and a club seat level containing 450 seats beginning in 2009. The addition of a $33 million expansion enclosing the north end zone added 13,500 general admission seats for upper and lower levels and increased the seating capacity in the Bobcat Stadium to 30,000.

The North Side Complex also houses a Strutters Gallery, the Texas State Athletic Ticket Office, a visiting team locker room, and a weight room, a training room, locker rooms and coaching offices for Texas State’s men’s and women’s track and field teams. In addition, the north side expansion added concession stands, restrooms and a first aid center on the complex of the stadium. In the southwest corner of Bobcat Stadium is the Paul and Pat Gowens Family Pavilion which hosts pregame and halftime hospitality areas for the Bobcat Club and “T” Association on game days. A new playing surface was added in 2016 when Texas State became the nation’s first Division I football program to install the FieldTurf Revolution 360. The new turf is equipped with “CoolPlay”, which is FieldTurf’s exclusive and innovative Extruded Cork Composite (ECC) top dressing that will keep the playing surface 35 degrees cooler than traditional artificial turfs. The field now features alternating shades of green every five-yards and the state of Texas is in the design of the turf just outside of the south end zone behind the goalpost. The end zones are in Texas State maroon with Texas State lettered in gold with white outline.

FOOTBALL ENDTHE ZONE UNIVERSITY COMPLEX

The End Zone Complex was renovated with new graphics, backlit signage and new leather seats in the team meeting room and new lockers in the team locker room.

THE SUN BELT CONFERENCE Entering the second decade of the new millennium, the Sun Belt Conference continues to challenge itself, and its competitors, in all aspects of intercollegiate athletics. Not content with being simply the youngest football conference in the Football Bowl Subdivision, the conference has shown that it can rise each and every season that comes along. And since the birth of the league as a FBS member in 2001, the evidence is clear that the conference is indeed rising above competitors and peer conferences. At no time has league athletic success been more obvious than during the course of the last several football seasons. In recent years, Sun Belt members have participated in as many as six bowl games, a 50 percent increase in the league’s former high-water mark and only a decade removed from a “one-bowl league” moniker in its formative years. More importantly, Sun Belt teams didn’t just get to bowl games … they won them, again in record numbers. During the last two seasons the Sun Belt tied its record for wins in the postseason with four wins in both 2016 and 2017. The Sun Belt finished second in bowl winning percentage among all 10 FBS conferences in each of those years while also finishing fourth in 2015. Reaching back to the 2014 season, no conference has a better total bowl winning percentage (.611) than the Sun Belt Conference. Further, the Sun Belt has won more games during that period (11) than its peers the American Athletic Conference (10) and the Mid-American Conference (6). That fact is staggering when considering the Sun Belt has reached its win mark despite those conferences having more opportunities to win games (AAC – 27, MAC – 23, Sun Belt – 17). All that success comes as the league begins a new tradition this year. The 2018 season will see the conference split into divisions (East/ West) for the first time and will stage its first-ever championship game at the end of the regular season on December 1, 2018. The game will be played at the home site of the team with the highest overall winning percentage and will be nationally broadcast on ABC or an ESPN network. Sun Belt Commissioner Karl Benson expressed his enthusiasm by saying, “We are very excited going forward in football. Having our championship game this year only increases what we already have going. The footprint of this league was done to ensure long-term success and sustainability, and with the membership structure we now have in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas, that footprint is set up for even more success.” The Sun Belt gained much notoriety and notice during the last several football seasons, but that has by no means been the league’s only hallmark. Men’s basketball – the league’s symbol of success in its formative years – recently finished with its highest conference RPI in more than a decade with a No. 13 national finish, and conference members found success in several NCAA postseason events. Those league successes have been more public in recent years, in part because the Sun Belt itself has been progressive and in the forefront of the digital media world. The league continues to adapt to the ever-changing world of collegiate athletics and continues the process of evolving to better serve its membership, keeping the pledge it made at its founding to be a league of opportunity. Athletic and academic programs who have shown progressive thinking and the desire to improve have always found a home in the Sun Belt. This past March, the Sun Belt was given a major opportunity boost in presenting itself to the viewing public as the league announced a continuation of its relationship with ESPN. The partnership with ESPN is the most significant and extensive multimedia rights agreement in

conference history. Highlights of the contract includes that a minimum of 500 events a year will appear on an ESPN platform beginning in 2020 and that every Sun Belt football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball game will be viewable on an ESPN platform. It was also announced that linear network football games at Sun Belt home venues will expand to a minimum of 10 games a year on a combination of ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU, that Sun Belt Championship events will be on an ESPN platform each academic year that will give exposure to all conference sports, and that digital productions will expand to include regular season competition in Sun Belt sports that have received only limited coverage previously. Opportunity for Sun Belt growth and success extends beyond television deals. During the recent 2017-18 academic year, Sun Belt member institutions awarded more than $50 million in scholarships to more than 3,100 student-athletes, while also providing life experiences such as team building, domestic and foreign travel, community service, mentoring and recognition through honors and awards. Sun Belt institutions are also leaders in providing career services and the tools to assist in the pursuit of personal goals. Each member employs full-time academic advisors and on average nearly two dozen tutors for academic support. This past spring the Sun Belt hosted a mental health summit aimed at putting mental health awareness out front and reaching to erase the stigma associated with mental health and the need to seek help. Individual opportunities also extend beyond the league. The Sun Belt had 40 players on active NFL rosters during the past season, with representation on 23 of 32 NFL clubs. The league recently became one of seven conferences nationwide to have back-to-back first-round selections in the NBA Draft when Louisiana’s Elfrid Payton went No. 10 overall to the Orlando Magic and Georgia State’s R. J. Hunter was the No. 28 pick of the Boston Celtics the following year. The Sun Belt has nationally-respected programs in nearly every NCAA sport offering and remains a fixture on the national scene while remaining heavily involved in the conduct and competition of college athletics. But it also provides opportunities for success on many unique and different levels. In athletic parlance, the Sun Belt has “upside,” and its newest mantra of “Rise Above” is just as applicable now as when it was founded as a home to some of the nation’s premier mid-major basketball programs. In its very first year, one of those programs reached the pinnacle of NCAA men’s basketball competition when UNC Charlotte earned a berth in the Final Four. That type of success set the bar very high, but the league’s four-decade history is sprinkled with landmark success in all seasons. In the spring, baseball and softball continue to put the league in the national spotlight with deep runs in postseason play and high visibility in national polls. Coastal Carolina reigned supreme at the pinnacle of college baseball, winning the College World Series for the 2016 season. Louisiana’s baseball team ranked No. 1 nationally recently and reached the NCAA Super Regional round in 2014 and 2015. The Cajun softball team has advanced to Super Regional play five times in the last seven seasons including a trip to the Women’s College World Series. Just as important as on-field success, the Sun Belt’s commitment to academic excellence remains a league symbol. The league’s record book for grade point averages and academic honors is a constantly-changing document, seemingly with each year’s success outdoing the previous year. This past spring, a record 23 league programs were recognized for outstanding performance in the classroom, with those teams earning 34

THE SUN BELT THECONFERENCE UNIVERSITY NCAA Public Recognition Awards for APR scores in the top 10 percent nationally. It was the fourth consecutive year the Sun Belt has broken or tied its record for teams honored. Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Louisiana, ULM, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy give the league 10 football members. Little Rock and UTA compete as Sun Belt members in all sports other than football, helping give the conference a mix of the “old” and the “new.” Long-time league members, including charter member South Alabama’s distinction in being a Sun Belt member since its founding in 1976, continue to have success, and a solid corps of conference newcomers continue to make their marks on league and national levels. The mix of members also gives the league vitality and diversity across the South. The mix of regions and regional cultures provides a rare opportunity for student-athletes and staffers to experience many environments, and the chance to experience that diversity without leaving their own campuses. The Sun Belt is also noteworthy for its attempts to make each of its championship events in every sport a special moment in the lives of its student-athletes and its many fans and followers. Many individuals from Sun Belt institutions have brought distinction to their alma maters, and not just in athletics. For every All-Pro linebacker DeMarcus Ware (Troy) and NFL Man of the Year Charles Tillman (Louisiana), world ranked golfer and US Open winner Dustin Johnson (Coastal Carolina) and for every World Series MVP David Freese (South Alabama) hailing from Sun Belt schools, there are also U.S. presidents (Lyndon Johnson, Texas State), business icons (Chick-fil-A president Daniel Cathy, Georgia Southern), and nationally known entertainers (Ludacris, Georgia State, Tim McGraw, ULM and George Strait, Texas State). These proud alumni, as well as those who represent the dozen league institutions, are proof that the Sun Belt Conference is a league of excitement, a league of opportunity, and one that continues to provide the promise of success with each new day.

TEXAS STATE BOBCAT MARCHING BAND With a history spanning nearly a century, the Bobcat Marching Band is one of the largest spirit organizations on campus! This energetic ensemble of 350 students offers an exciting opportunity for instrumentalists, color guard members and twirlers of all university majors to enhance their collegiate experience by performing in an outstanding musical and spirit organization. Over the years, the Bobcat Marching Band has established a national reputation for performance excellence. This reputation has led to performances at two Presidential inaugurations, as well as appearances in a Hollywood film, on the 1995 video Best of College Bands and as a feature on the award-winning PBS television show The Biscuit Brothers. In 2007, 2011, and 2013, the Bobcat Marching Band was selected to have performances presented at the National Conference of the College Band Directors National Association. Each year, the band also enjoys serving as ambassadors of the university, performing at high school marching exhibitions and other events around central Texas. Recent performances have included concerts at the Formula 1 U.S. Grand Prix and the Lone Star Le Mans auto races, and halftime performances for the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans. The Bobcat Marching Band prides itself on being an integral part of the excitement of the college gameday experience. Whether before, during, or after the game, no band strives to support its team, entertain its fans, or to play as hard as “The Pride of the Hill Country,” the Texas State Bobcat Marching Band!

Annually, the spirit program competes at the Universal Cheerleading Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College Cheerleading National Championships which are held every January at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. The program has seen much success at the National level having won the 2000, 2003, and 2006 All-Women National Championships and winning the 2006 United Spirit Association College Mascot National Championship in Las Vegas, Nev.
