The
Atlantic Coast Conference |
|
The
Atlantic
Coast Conference was founded on May
8, 1953, at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro,
N.C., with seven charter members -- Clemson,
Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina
State, South Carolina and Wake Forest --
drawing up the conference by-laws.
The
withdrawal of seven schools from the Southern
Conference came early on the morning of
May 8, 1953, during the Southern Conference’s
annual spring meeting. On June 14, 1953,
the seven members met in Raleigh, N.C.,
where a set of bylaws was adopted and the
name became officially the Atlantic Coast
Conference.
On
December 4, 1953, conference officials met
again at Sedgefield and officially admitted
the University of Virginia. The first, and
only, withdrawal of a school from the ACC
came on June 30, 1971 when the University
of South Carolina tendered its resignation.
The
ACC operated with seven members until April
3, 1978, when Georgia Tech was admitted.
The Atlanta school withdrew from the Southeastern
Conference in January of 1964.
The
ACC then expanded to nine members on July
1, 1991, with the addition of Florida State.
The
conference expanded to 11 members on July
1, 2004, with the addition of the University
of Miami and Virginia Polytechnic Institute
and State University.
Boston
College became the league's 12th member
on July 1, 2005.

The
Big East |
|
The
Big
East is the nations largest Division
I-A conference. The Big East was founded
in 1979 when Providence, St. John's, Georgetown,
and Syracuse invited Seton Hall, Connecticut,
and Boston College to form a conference
primarily focused on basketball. Villanova
joined a year later in 1980 and Pittsburgh
joined in 1982. Big East regents rejected
Penn State's application for admission into
the Big East in 1982, since the conference
at that time was only focused on basketball.
Almost
a decade later the Big East was serious
about becoming a major football conference
and added five schools, including four
time champion Miami, Temple, Virginia
Tech, West Virginia, and Rutgers. The
inaugural Big East football season was
launched in 1991.[1] [2] West Virginia
and Rutgers were football-only members
until 1995, Virginia Tech was a football-only
member until 2001, with Temple remaining
a football-only member until consistently
failing to attract enough fan support
and vacating its membership in 2004. Notre
Dame was also offered a non-football membership
as of 1995.

This
led to an unusual structure since not
all members of the conference competed
in Division I-A (now FBS) football. This
had long led to rumors of instability,
and in 2003, ongoing press reports of
tensions between the football schools
and the basketball schools finally exploded
into a months-long public tug-of-war between
the Big East and the Atlantic Coast Conference
over several Big East members. The end
result was that three Big East schools
— Virginia Tech, Miami and Boston
College — moved to the ACC, while
five teams moved to the Big East from
Conference USA — Louisville, Cincinnati,
South Florida, Marquette, and DePaul.
consisting
of seventeen universities in the northeastern,
southeastern and midwestern United States.
The conference's 17 members (16 full-time
and 1 associate member) participate in 23
NCAA sports. The schools that are Big East
members in football — which are actually
only eight of the 11 conference schools
that sponsor varsity football — are
part of the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision
(FBS), the top level of NCAA competition
in that sport (still frequently known by
its former designation of Division I-A).
In
basketball, teams currently in the Big East
account for 40 all time Final Four appearances
and 10 National Championships, numbers only
surpassed by the Big Ten and Pac-10 respectively.
Of the Big East's 16 full members, 15 (or
93%) have been to the Final Four, by far
the most of any conference. The only full
member that has never been to the Final
Four is South Florida.

The
Big 10 |
|
The
Big 10 Conference is an association
of 11 world-class universities whose member
institutions share a common mission of research,
graduate, professional and undergraduate
teaching and public service. Intercollegiate
athletics has an important place within
the mission.
Founded in 1896, the Big Ten has sustained
a comprehensive set of shared practices
and policies that enforce the priority
of academics in student-athletes' lives
and emphasize the values of integrity,
fairness and competitiveness. Big Ten
universities provide approximately $94
million in direct financial aid to more
than 8,400 men and women student-athletes

The
Big 12 |
|
The
Big
12 Conference has been synonymous with
success in competitive play and in the classroom
as it enters its 12th season, and league
members anticipate continued success during
the 2007-08 academic year.
In the first 11 years of the Big 12,
the conference can boast of 30 team and
over 350 individual NCAA Championships.
The success continued this past season,
with team titles in men's cross country
(Colorado) and women's volleyball (Nebraska)
in addition to numerous individual crowns.
Over the past three seasons alone a total
of 11 NCAA trophies have been hoisted
by Big 12 institutions, with at least
one national crown won in 10 of 11 years
for the conference, including each of
the past 10 seasons.
Through the first nine Bowl Championship
Series title games, the Big 12 leads all
conferences with five appearances in the
contest. Big 12 squads have played for
the football national championship five
times in the last eight years, with berths
in 12 BCS games overall.
In basketball, eight men's and women's
teams have advanced to their respective
Final Fours in the past six seasons as
the Big 12 continues its place among the
elite intercollegiate athletic conferences.
Numerous national honors have been won
by men's and women's student-athletes
during conference history, with Kevin
Durant (Texas) the most recent to garner
accolades as the consensus 2007 National
Player of the Year.
The Big 12 and its member institutions
are committed to a competitive environment
where sportsmanship and fair play take
center stage. Whether on the field, in
the classroom, or within the community
the student-athletes, administrators,
coaches and game officials of the Big
12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship.
Big 12 student-athletes also do well
in garnering national academic recognition.
This past season, two league standouts
were named the Academic All-America of
the Year in their sport by ESPN The Magazine
and the College Sports Information Directors
of America. Nebraska’s Sarah Pavan
(volleyball) boasted a 4.0 grade-point
average in Biochemistry, while Aaron Ivey
of Oklahoma (baseball) also has a 4.0
GPA in Energy Management. Pavan was also
named as recipient of the prestigious
Honda-Broderick Award as Collegiate Woman
Athlete of the Year. She is the first
athlete since the Big 12 was formed to
earn the accolade.
Competitive excellence, scholarship and
sportsmanship are all equal components
of the Big 12 philosophy. All-Big 12 teams
and Academic All-Big 12 squads are recognized
for each sport at the end of their respective
seasons.
At the end of each academic year, the
Conference honors its top male and female
student-athletes with the Big 12 Athlete
of the Year and Big 12 Sportsperson of
the Year awards.
Institutions can also nominate student-athletes
for the prestigious Dr. Prentice Gautt
Postgraduate Scholarships at the end of
each academic year. A total of 177 scholars
have received more than $1 million in
postgraduate financial aid through the
first 10 years of the program.
The Big 12 sponsors 21 sports. Men's
squads include baseball, basketball, cross
country, football, golf, indoor track
& field, outdoor track & field,
swimming & diving, tennis and wrestling.
Women's teams are fielded in basketball,
cross country, golf, gymnastics, indoor
track & field, outdoor track &
field, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis
and volleyball.
The conference is made up of 12 institutions
that have shared many traditional rivalries
throughout their histories. Member schools
include - Baylor University, University
of Colorado, Iowa State University, University
of Kansas, Kansas State University, University
of Missouri, University of Nebraska, University
of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University,
University of Texas, Texas A&M University
and Texas Tech University.
The institutions created a league that
encompasses seven states, over 45 million
people and more than 18 million television
households within its geographic footprint.
The conference conducts championships
for 20 of its 21 sports. Each championship
helps to determine teams and/or individuals
that will represent the Conference in
national postseason competition. The winner
of the Big 12 football championship game
earns the league's berth into the prestigious
Bowl Championship Series.

The
Pac 10 |
|
The
roots of the Pacific-10
Conference go back more than 80 years to
December 15, 1915, when the Pacific Coast
Conference (PCC) was founded at a meeting
at the Oregon Hotel in Portland, Ore. Original
membership consisted of four schools - the
University of California at Berkeley, the
University of Washington, the University
of Oregon, and Oregon State College (now
Oregon State University). All still are
charter members of the Conference.
Pacific Coast Conference play began in
1916. One year later, Washington State
College (now Washington State University),
was accepted into the Conference, and
Stanford University joined in 1918.
In 1922, the PCC expanded to eight teams
with the admission of the University of
Southern California and the University
of Idaho. Montana joined the Conference
in 1924, and in 1928, the PCC grew to
10 members with the addition of UCLA.
The Pacific Coast Conference competed
as a 10-team league until 1950, with the
exception of 1943-45, when World War II
curtailed intercollegiate athletic competition
to a minimum. In 1950, Montana resigned
from the Conference and joined the Mountain
States Conference. The PCC continued as
a nine-team Conference through 1958.
In 1959, the PCC was dissolved and a
new Conference was formed - the Athletic
Association of Western Universities. Original
AAWU membership consisted of California,
Stanford, Southern California, UCLA, and
Washington. Washington State became a
member in 1962, while Oregon and Oregon
State joined in 1964. In 1968, the name
Pacific-8 Conference was adopted.
Ten years later, on July 1, 1978, the
University of Arizona and Arizona State
University were admitted and the Pacific-10
Conference became a reality. In 1986-87,
the league took on a new look, expanding
to include ten women's sports.
Currently, the Pac-10 sponsors 10 men's
sports and 11 women's sports. Additionally,
the Conference is a member of the Mountain
Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) in five
other men's sports and two other women's
sport.

The
SEC |
|
The
Southeastern Conference, with its storied
75-year history of athletic achievements
and academic excellence, has built perhaps
the greatest tradition of intercollegiate
competition of any league in the country
since its inception in 1933.
The 2006-07 academic year was another
season to remember for the SEC as conference
teams captured eight national titles and
five national runner-up finishes. The
SEC became the first conference to ever
win national championships in football,
men’s and women’s basketball
in the same school year. Since 1990, the
SEC has won 121 national team championships
for an average of nearly seven per year.
Florida won the SEC’s first national
title of the year with its win in the
BCS National Championship Game in football.
Auburn for the second straight year took
home a pair of national titles in both
men’s and women’s swimming and
diving. Florida won its second national
championship when the men’s basketball
team repeated as national champions, and
the Tennessee Lady Vols made it a sweep
in basketball with their women’s
basketball national championship. Vanderbilt
won its first ever school national championship
when the Lady Commodores were crowned
national champions of bowling. Georgia
capped the year off with a pair of national
championships as the Gym Dogs won their
third straight gymnastics championship
as well as the men’s tennis team
who finished off a perfect season with
a national championship. Florida finished
first among Southeastern Conference schools
and sixth overall in the Director’s
Cup final standings.
Overall, the SEC finished in the top
two in 12 of its 20 sponsored sports and
in the top five in 15 of the 20 sports.
Nine SEC teams participated in football
postseason bowls with Auburn, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, LSU and South Carolina
winning the Cotton, BCS National Title
Game, Chick-Fil-A, Music City, Sugar and
Liberty Bowls, respectively. Five men’s
basketball teams were invited to the NCAA
Tournament with Florida winning its second
straight NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship.
The SEC has now sent at least one team
to the sweet sixteen for 18 straight years.
Five women’s basketball teams were
also invited to the NCAA Tournament with
Tennessee winning the NCAA National Championship
and LSU advancing to the Women’s
Final Four. The SEC had five teams advance
to postseason play in baseball hosting
three regionals and one super regional
with Mississippi State advancing to the
College World Series. With 159 teams advancing
to NCAA postseason competition, the SEC
continued to solidify its place as the
nation’s premier conference.
In addition to the eight team championships,
52 SEC student-athletes garnered individual
national championships, while 522 individuals
were awarded with First-Team All-American
Honors. Student-athletes around the league
continued to excel in the classroom as
well with over 2,000 earning recognition
on the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
On the national all-sport level, the
SEC placed eleven teams in the top 50
of the NACDA Director’s Cup rankings.
Florida led the league with a sixth place
finish. Tennessee placed seventh while
Georgia was 12th; LSU finished 17th, Auburn
19th, Arkansas 31st, South Carolina 32nd,
Vanderbilt 33rd, Alabama 43rd, Kentucky
45th and Ole Miss 49th to round out the
league’s top-50 finishes.
