Walked the Sidelines of College Football for More Than 45 Years. His walked the sidelines of college football for more than 45 years. His steely FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY eyes have witnessed four national championships, two Super Bowls and now the growth of the Florida Atlantic football. That leadership has guided the Owls to back-to-back bowl game titles, the only team in the state of Florida to accomplish this feat in 2007 and 2008. MEDIA 2008 Motor City Bowl Champions 1 On Sept. 22, 2005, FAU hosted its first-ever Sun Belt MEDIA Conference game. Players and coaches rushed the field following the overtime victory, 35-28, over perennial bowl contender Hawaii on Sept. 4, 2004. 2 2007 New Orleans Bowl Champions FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY The Owls took to the field Aug. 29, 2000, with 164 players in attendance for the program’s first practice. MEDIA Players hoist the program’s first bowl game trophy (Dec. 21, 2007). One year later, the program added another. 2008 Motor City Bowl Champions 3 MEDIA 4 2007 New Orleans Bowl Champions FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY MEDIA FAU became the youngest start-up program to earn a bowl berth in 2007. The Owls traveled to New Orleans where they defeated the University of Memphis. Just one year later FAU made a return trip to a bowl with an invitation to the Motor City Bowl in Detroit, MI. Once again the Owls prevailed becoming the first team in the history of the Sun Belt Conference to win back-to-back bowls. FAU was also the only team in the state of Florida to win bowls in both 2007 and 2008. The perfect streak is quite an accomplishment for a team that had competed in football for just eight seasons and only three as a full Bowl Subdivision member. What’s even more impressive is that Coach Howard Schnellenberger’s six wins matched against no bowl losses gives him more bowl victories than any other active coach who holds a perfect bowl record. 2008 Motor City Bowl Champions 5 FAU’s Board of Trustees has approved construction for a 30,000-seat, open-air football stadium — the centerpiece of the University’s residence hall, retail and stadium complex called Innovation Village. The stadium’s completion is scheduled for 2010 and will overlook the newly constructed alumni center, campus recreation and fitness center as well as offer a view of the Atlantic coastline from its skybox and press box seats. FAU OWLS Florida Atlantic University’s Boca Raton campus was designated a burrowing owl sanctuary in 1971 by the Audubon Society. The bird found a safe home away from predators on the campus, which was once a U.S. Army Airfield during World War II. The feisty bird, traditionally associated with wisdom and determination, serves as the University’s mascot. FAU Cheer Team The squad boasts a 1999 Pairs National Championship. FAU finished second at the NCAA 2001 and 2003 competitions. FAU Dance Team In 2001, the team was ranked no. 10 nationally. In 2005, the team placed second in the nation in Open Dance at the National Dance Association competition in Daytona Beach, FL. FAU Marching Band Florida Atlantic’s marching band took the field in 2001, with the inaugural football team. Beginning in 2006, the band boasted a new look and a new energy. Lockhart Stadium Lockhart Stadium, which seats just more than 20,000, became Florida Atlantic University’s home field in 2003, and what a home season it was. The year began with Valdosta State and ended when the Owls hosted the NCAA Division I-AA National Semifinal Game before an ESPN audience. Directions to the stadium: Take I-95 to Commercial Blvd. Go less than a mile, turn right on NW 12th Ave. (Oriole Blvd.). Stadium is on the left. The Shula Bowl FIU vs. FAU Dec. 5, 2009 The “Shula Bowl”, named for legendary coach Don Shula, is the annual game between South Florida and Sun Belt Conference rivals Florida Atlantic and Florida International. The site of the Shula Bowl alternates between Land Shark Stadium and FIU Stadium. While Don Shula’s name is synonymous with professional football in South Florida, he also has an impact on the two collegiate programs. FAU Head Coach Howard Schnellenberger served as Shula’s offensive coordinator with the Dolphins for two Super Bowl appearances and during the only perfect season in NFL history. The Owls lead the series, 6-1. FAU FOOTBALL Each spring, the Florida Atlantic Athletics Department hosts “Pro Day.” — a day where nearly every National Football League organization descends upon the campus to evaluate NFL hopefuls. The one-day “mini-camp” is an opportunity for the scouts to gather detailed information and have a one-on-one look at every Owl that has aspirations to play professionally at football’s highest level. The morning session is dedicated to those who have exhausted their eligibility. The afternoon session is for rising seniors and is limited according to NCAA rules. During the morning, scouts conduct thorough measurements, including weight testing in the FAU Strength and Conditioning Center as well as the broad jump. Also, Owls show off their skills in the vertical leap prior to moving to the Track and Field Complex where the hopefuls use the opportunity to run the 40 and showcase their footwork through agility drills. Not yet 10 years old, Florida Atlantic football has established the traditions by which future players will be judged. Each season, the bar has moved AWARDS just a little higher and each season the awards continue to mount. 5 seasons in Division I-AA – 5 All-Americans 3 seasons in Bowl Subdivision – 1 All-American 2 National Players of the Week 17.7 football players, on average, earn a 3.0+ GPA each semester The Ramon Rickards “Bone Award” is awarded each season to the player with the most “big hits” 1.5 players, on average, have signed professional contracts each season 2 bowl appearances – 2 MVPs, 1 Defensive MVP 1 Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year 1 Preseason Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year 8 All-Conference selections each season, on average, since joining SBC 2008 Motor City Bowl Champions 11 • Every semester, over one-third of FAU student-athletes earn a minimum of a 3.0 grade point average.

  • Register Early $565 Per Couple
    Register Early $565 Per Couple Conference Speakers Mark and Katharyn Richt Mark Richt currently serves as a studio analyst for the newly launched ACC Network. Prior to his time with ACC Network/ESPN, Richt served as head football coach at the University of Miami and the University of Georgia. Richt was named the University of Miami’s 24th head football coach on Dec. 4, 2015. His hiring provided immediate dividends as the Hurricanes posted a 9-4 record in his first season in Coral Gables. Miami then defeated West Virginia, 31-14, in the Russell Athletic Bowl for the program’s first bowl victory in 10 years. The Hurricanes were ranked No. 20 in the final Associated Press poll and No. 23 in the final Amway Coaches Poll – the program’s first season-ending rankings since 2009. Miami had 10 players earned ACSMA All-ACC honors in 2016, while quarterback Brad Kaaya became Miami’s all-time passing yards leader. Freshman wide receiver Ahmmon Richards broke the 31-year-old freshman receiving record at Miami originally set by Michael Irvin, while sophomore running back Mark Walton became the 11th 1,000-yard rusher in program history. Six Hurricanes were selected in the 2018 NFL Draft. Nine Hurricanes were selected in the 2017 NFL Draft, the most for Miami since 2006, including first-round pick David Njoku to the Cleveland Browns. Richt has had 99 of his players drafted as a head coach, including 14 first-round picks. Richt, born in Omaha, Neb., and raised in Boca Raton, Fla., returned to his alma mater after leading the University of Georgia football program for 15 years.
