4 WTAMU RECREATIONAL SPORTS COMPLEX The West Texas A&M Softball program is one season away from playing at a brand new softball field on campus, thanks to the students of WTAMU that voted yes in November of 2009 to begin construction of a new Recreational Sports Complex. Construction on the new complex began in January 2010 after the Texas A&M Board of Regents passed the agenda, where the northern portion of the WT campus will have a new look and feel in the upcoming future. The new recreational sports complex will include Lady Buff Yard which will be the new home of the Lady Buffs softball team starting in the 2011 season. WTAMU student voted in November 2009 to decide whether the athletic fee and student center fees should be increased for the addition of a recreational sports complex on the north side of the campus and for an expansion at the JBK. The new athletic fee will help pay for more than half of the estimated $40-$51M construction costs, and donations will be sought to help complete the project. I am pleased and very thankful that the students of West Texas A&M support such a large project that will dramatically change our campus and the opportunities available for students said WT Athletic Director Michael McBroom Recreational sports will be able to offer a full intramural program with more sports and teams to more participants. Campus life in general will be improved, as will the overall aesthetic on the North side of our campus. Plans for the complex include playing fields for soccer, flag football and varsity baseball and softball as well as tennis courts, sand volleyball, outdoor basketball courts, a track and a practice field for the WTAMU marching band. This is the first step of our facilities projects, said McBroom. We can now focus on raising the funds necessary to construct the Athletics Fieldhouse, which is the final piece of our puzzle. The Fieldhouse will provide centralized service and support to our teams, with locker rooms, weight rooms, training rooms, coaches offices and academic support services under one roof. It will match the Recreational Sports Complex as a first-class venue, and I m certain we will meet this mark, as well. This facility is the sign of a great commitment by the University, said softball head coach Kevin Blaskowski. It gives us the opportunity to have the best facility in Division II Athletics, which in turn will help us attract the type of student-athlete that will allow us to grow into one of the elite softball programs in the country. 2 COM

48 Canyon & Amarillo, Texas The City of Canyon, with a population in excess of 13,000, was founded on Christmas Day 1887 by Lincoln Guy Conner, a cattle rancher who bought the land from the State of Texas for $3 per acre. He was too modest to name the town after himself, and Canyon City was named after the nearby Palo Duro Canyon. In 1910 the name was changed to Canyon. Canyon is home to West Texas A&M University, which is the single-largest employer in Randall County. The city prides itself as a close-knit community that combines a progressive attitude with small town friendliness and charm. Palo Duro Canyon State Park, second largest canyon in the United States behind the Grand Canyon, contains more than 18,000 acres and is 120 miles long and 20 miles wide and is just 10 miles east of Canyon. Hiking, overnight camping and some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world is available. The canyon is also host to Texas which premiered in 2003 and is produced by the Texas Panhandle Heritage Foundation. The outdoor musical drama takes place at the Palo Duro Canyon Amphitheater. The Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum is located on the WTAMU Campus and is Texas largest history museum. It was founded in 1937 and houses more than 3 million artifacts. It features exhibits on petroleum, western heritage, paleontology, textiles, transportation, and fine art. Amarillo, 17 miles north on Interstate 27, has a population of more than 173,000. It was first settled in 1887, and its name is taken from the Spanishlanguage for the word yellow because of the color of the sub-soil in the channel of the Amarillo Creek. Amarillo is home to the Amarillo Gorillas of the independent Central Hockey League, the Amarillo Dusters of the Arena Football League 2 and the Amarillo Dillas of the United League.

The Harrington Medical Center is home to some of the finest and most innovative medical facilities in the country. The Amarillo Civic Center underwent a renovation in 2003, adding more meeting rooms and exhibit space, which now totals 98,000 square feet. It houses a 5,000-seat coliseum, a 2,300-seat auditorium, and the Amarillo Visitor Information Center. The Amarillo National Center hosts various rodeos and horse and livestock events, and is located at the Tri-State Fairgrounds, host to the Tri-State Fair held every September. Wonderland Park is the largest amusement park between Dallas and Denver, and Splash Amarillo provides a cool, water-filled experience for those hot summer days. Culturally the city has the Amarillo Symphony, Amarillo Opera, Lone Star Ballet, Amarillo Little Theatre, which has existed for more than 75 years, Civic Amarillo, which brings concerts and Broadway shows to town, and Lone Star Rising, an outdoor musical drama at Lake Meredith s Fritch Fortress, north of Amarillo. Amarillo is the transportation hub of the Texas Panhandle with the two interstate highways (I-40 east and west and I-27 north and south).

49 NCAA Division II Pick a number of college sports fans and ask them what it means to be an NCAA Division I, II or III member. Most of them probably will say that Division I is big, Division II is midsize and Division III is small. There is some truth in the observations, but what makes Division II special has more to do with philosophy than with size. Here are features that make Division II athletics unique: Division II student-athletes generally come from the area in which their institution is located. They are effectively integrated with the overall student body. Many Division II coaches and administrators perform other jobs or functions at their institutions, including teaching. Most Division II student-athletes pay for school through a combination of scholarship money, grants, student loans and employment earnings. Teams are encouraged to play other teams from their region, thus reducing expense and missed class time. Division II brings its A game in the way it balances academics and athletics. Division II provides an excellent environment for studentathletes. It maintains a highly inclusive structure for studentathletes in NCAA governance matters: The annual summit between the Division II Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and the Division II Management Council serves as a model for athlete-administrator communication. Division II also benefits student-athletes by having the most opportunities per capita to compete in national championships. The number of national championships in Division II is about the same as Divisions I and III. For , Division II national championship competition will be offered in the following sports: National championship opportunities are comparable to those in Division I and III. Since , National Championship competition will be offered in the following sports Men Baseball Basketball Cross Country Football Golf Lacrosse Soccer Swimming and Diving Tennis Indoor Track Outdoor Track Wrestling Academics Division II has adopted legislation and created programs to better ensure that student-athletes acquire quality educations and graduate. Many Division II student-athletes have gone on to outstanding careers, both inside and outside athletics. That list includes the following Athlete Professional alma Mater accomplishment Women Basketball Cross Country Field Hockey Golf Lacrosse Rowing Soccer Softball Swimming and Diving Tennis Indoor Track Outdoor Track Volleyball Larry Allen NFL player Sonoma State football Rick Barnes Texas basketball coach Lenoir-Rhyne basketball Steve Bedrosian Former MLB player New Haven baseball Manute Bol Former NBA player Bridgeport basketball Brett Butler Former MLB player, author Southeastern Oklahoma State baseball Lloyd Carr University of Michigan football coach Northern Michigan football Maurice Cheeks Philadelphia 76ers coach West Texas A&M basektball Jim Crane Eagle Global Logistics CEO Central Missouri State baseball Mike DeJean MLB player West Alabama baseball Christine Donovan Managing director of Global Securities Lending Stonehill basketball Mike Eischeid Former NFL player Upper Iowa football Darrell Green Former NFL player Texas A&M-Kingsville football Nick Harper NFL player Fort Valley State football Al Harris NFL player Texas A&M-Kingsville football Sylvia Hatchell North Carolina women s basketball coach Carson-Newman basketball Dave and Jim Hazewinkel Olympic wrestlers St. Cloud State wrestling Doris Brown Heritage Two-time Olympic distance runner Seattle Pacific cross country Mickisha Hurley Olympic volleyball player Barry volleyball Tom Izzo Michigan State basketball coach Northern Michigan basketball Greg Jamison San Jose Sharks CEO and president Northwest Nazarene tennis Lee Janzen Two-time U.S. Open golf champion Florida Southern golf Billie Jean King Hall of Fame tennis player Cal State Los Angeles tennis Matt Knoll Baylor men s tennis coach Washburn tennis Duane Koslowski Olympic wrestler Minnesota Morris wrestling Don Lauri Actor ( The Wonder Years ) Southern Connecticut football Patrick Leahy U.S. senator Saint Michael s rifle Fred Lewis Florida Supreme Court chief justice Florida Southern baseball Earl Lloyd First African-American player in NBA Virginia Union basketball Ed Malloy NBA official Philadelphia U. basketball Rob McKee Former ConocoPhillips executive vice president Colorado Mines baseball, football, wrestling Rocco Mediate Professional golfer Florida Southern golf Jim Nichols Brunswick Medical Technologies CEO Valdosta State football Earl Monroe NBA Hall of Fame player Winston-Salem State basketball Billy Olson Olympic pole vaulter Abilene Christian track Donna Orender WNBA commissioner Queen s (New York) basketball Tyrone Poole NFL player Fort Valley State football Louise Ritter Olympic high-jump champion Texas Woman s track Crystal Robinson WNBA player Southeastern Oklahoma State basketball Dennis Rodman Former NBA player Southeastern Oklahoma State basketball Howard Schultz Chairman, Starbucks Corp.

Saint Michael s basketball Keith Traylor NFL player Central Oklahoma football Gene Upshaw Executive director, NFL Players Association Texas A&M-Kingsville football LaVonda Wagner Oregon State women s basketball coach Mars Hill basketball Ben Wallace NBA player Virginia Union basketball In January 2004, the Division II membership approved two legislative changes that increased academic requirements for enrolled student-athletes. The first change mandated that Division II studentathletes be required to attain a grade-point average after earning 24 credit hours, a GPA after earning 48 hours and a GPA after earning 72 hours and thereafter. The second change required that student-athletes must have earned at least six credit hours from the previous term. That new rule helped ensure that transfer studentathletes were legitimate students during the previous term and that enrolled student-athletes are progressing toward a degree semester-by-semester. Division II also has initiated a new measure of academic performance through creation of the Academic Success Rate. The new measure will provide graduation-rate data on all Division II student-athletes, including transfers and those not receiving athletically related financial aid. Two pilot studies using the new measure produced a graduation rate about 10 percent higher than what was measured through federal government methodology. Also, at its April 2006 meeting, the Division II Presidents Council (along with the Division I Board of Directors) approved a proposal that defines the role of the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse in validating the information on which the initial academic eligibility of a student-athlete is based. The action was taken after a series of newspaper articles revealed the existence of diploma mills that some prospective student-athletes were using to inappropriately enhance their academic records. Division II also has established a Degree-Completion Grant Program to assist student-athletes who are just short of completing their degree but whose athletics eligibility has expired. COM 47
