In May 2011 the Conference expanded for the second time in four years, adding Belmont University which began competition in the 2012-13 academic year. The addition of Belmont gave the OVC 12 members, the most the league has had at one time in its illustrious history. The move added a second team in the city of Nashville and was the first addition to the league since Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined in 2008. Subsequently, the league has shown its stability over the past decade, seeing only one member institution depart over the past 19 years.

The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth De- Bauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28, 2009. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences.

The OVC’s proud history dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles “Turkey” Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the pub- lic relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged February 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. Murray State and Evansville tied for the initial football championship, and the Racers participated in the first-ever bowl game by an In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant OVC team, tying Sul Ross State 21-21 in the 1948 Tangerine Bowl. From 1948 to 1975, OVC teams played in 15 bowl games, winning scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member eight of them.

Tennessee State University has long been a rising star among universities across the country. It is designated as one of the best public historically black colleges and universities in the nation, and it’s not by accident.

Tennessee State University is among the few historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) with a chap- ter of Phi Eta Sigma, the oldest and largest freshman honor society in the United States and a Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society, the most prestigious honor society comprising all academic disciplines.

Poag Auditorium. The building, which once housed the administrative offices, is named after TSU’s second president Dr. Walter S. Davis.

KEAN HALL, a simplified Art Deco style gymnasium erected in 1951 at a cost of $1,500,000 was dedicat- ed Wednesday, November 25, 1953.

The structure is located on the south side of the campus at John Merritt Boulevard and 33rd Avenue, North and is named after former TSU Football head coach and Athletic Director, Henry A. Kean.

The building contained at the time of its construc- tion: a gymnasium, health, physical education and recreation classrooms, laboratories, staff offices, and facilities for indoor intramural sports, staff and student recreation and physical therapy. The build- ing was vacated in 1980 when the HPER moved to the new Gentry Center Complex.

The $300,000 renovation, approved in 1986-1987, connected the building to the Floyd-Payne campus center in 1991. The building became a recreational facility for the general campus population. It also serves as the headquarters for the Air Force ROTC, TSU Athletics and the academic and Hall of Fame.

The PERFORMING ARTS CENTER is located adjacent to the east side of the existing Strange Music Building. The facility houses the Theater, Television, Radio and Music Departments and includes a complete renovation of the Strange Music Building.

A performance theater seating for 400 was constructed as part of the new building. Theater department spaces include classrooms, support spaces and offices. Rehears- al and production facilities are provided for television and radio departments, as well as offices and support areas.

The music department has new laboratory facilities, practice rooms, classrooms, offic- es and an expanded band practice room and support facilities. The project included ap- proximately 30,400 sq. ft. of renovated space (the Strange Music Building) and 43,000 sq. ft. of new construction.

8 #BigBlueRising The FLOYD-PAYNE CAMPUS CENTER contains various student and administrative offices, campus bookstore, post office, and dining services. The Center is named after former TSU student and fifth president, Otis L. Floyd, and long-time Dean of Students and Vice-President of Student Affairs, Joseph A. Payne.

The BROWN-DANIEL LIBRARY was erected in 1976 and opened for service during the summer of 1977.

This present structure has 82,000 square feet of space with spe- cial study and research facilities for faculty and graduate stu- dents, and a Special Collections Room which houses the Univer- sity’s historical archives, theses, dissertations, and other special materials. The library is named in memory of Library Directors, Martha M. Brown and Lois H. Daniel.

The AVERITTE AMPHITHEATER located in the center of campus; landscaped and has permanent seating for 200. The structure is named after Laura M. Averitte, author of Tennessee State Univer- sity’s alma mater.

The passing game saw the emergence of then junior Chris Rowland and received a boost from Micheal Hughes DeVon Johnson and former quarterback Treon Harris, who stepped up as Newbold was limited throughout the season.

That’s how you want to start the season off. I’m very excited. A lot of guys put in a lot of hard work for this moment. It’s very exciting to start the season off 1-0.”

(on the toughness his squad displayed) “Our kids won’t quit. You see it in practice every day …We scratch and fight, and these kids have really, really earned the right to be a really good football team. I think that this is another stepping stone in this program. For us we just have to continue to build on it and carry this back over into conference play.”

(on bouncing back next week) “It’s tough to take a loss, but we still have to bounce back, correct our mistakes and move on. We can’t just stick in the past. We have to move on and play our best football in our last four games and win out.”

#BigBlueRising 47 Game 9 • Tennessee State 21, Southeast Missouri 38 Quotes and Notes SAFETY SHAKUR JACKSON (On the play of the defense) “I think we could have done better as a unit, being locked in our jobs and responsibilities. We let this one get away from us. I thought we had a good game plan coming in and we made some good adjustments. We just didn’t get it done.”

(On adjustments in the game) “We stopped them and forced some negative plays on them. But then they started hitting plays that kept moving the chains. That’s something we need to keep working on – just getting off the field and getting more three-and-outs.”

WIDE RECEIVER STEVEN NEWBOLD (On the play of the offense) “Our offense was good. We were on and off at some points of the game, but we still did a pretty good job today.”

(On eliminating turnovers) “It’s like coach said, it’s the little things that held us back. False starts and holding on first down are those little things. But when we can pick up the little things, it will help us out.”

We came in at half- time and just said everyone had to take care of their own responsibilities. We went back out in the second half and ended up coming together. They did not score on us in the second half.”

(On personal performance) “It felt good getting those two sacks. I have been working hard all week, because we are playing against a top-10 team.”

RUNNING BACK SHAWN MCCOLLEY (On 70 yard touchdown run) “Really, it was the line, the tight end and (Andrew) Knox blocking really well. The hole opened up and I just hit it and just started running. It felt great. I really didn’t think I was going to score this season. But it happened and I was really excited.”

Merritt, the legendary TSU football coach who led the Tigers from 1963-1983. During 21 seasons, “Big John” won four undisputed national championships among histor- ically black colleges ranked by the Sheridan Poll, while compiling a lifetime record of 172-33-1.

The JMC, one of only two football Classics solely hosted by a single NCAA FCS institution, is intended to allow Tennes- see State to raise funds for scholarships and other related needs for TSU students.

104 #BigBlueRising THE SGT. YORK TROPHY In July 2007, the Nashville Sports Council and the Ohio Valley Conference announced the creation of the Sergeant York Trophy which goes to the winner of the quadrangular season football series between the four Ohio Valley Conference schools located in the state of Tennessee – Austin Peay State University, University of Tennessee at Martin, Tennessee State University and Tennessee Technological University.

The award is only the second traveling trophy that involves more than two teams in college sports; the other is the Commander in Chief’s Trophy which has been contested between Air Force, Army and Navy annually since 1972.

In a close race, Tennessee State and Austin Peay shared the inaugural award, finishing with identical 2-1 records in 2007. Tennessee State took the trophy home thanks to a one-point victory in overtime over the Governors; that game was decided by a block extra point by NFL First Round Draft Pick Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The Tigers repeated as champions in 2008, winning all three of its Sgt. York games.

The award is named in honor of Alvin C. York, the most noted Soldier of World War I. As a corporal in the 2nd battalion, 328th Infantry, in the Battle of the Meuse River-Argonne (Oct. 8, 1918), York and seven other soldiers captured 132 prisoners, was pro- moted to sergeant and received the Distinguished Service Cross, the French Croix de Guerre, the French Legion of Honor, the Croce di Guerra of Italy and the War Medal of Montenegro. Upon his return to the United States in 1919, he was bestowed the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Following the war, York returned his home in Pall Mall, Tenn. (located in north central Tennessee, 55 miles northeast of Cookeville) where he dedicated his life to improving education and facilitating educational opportunities for children in the state of Tennessee. In 1927, he established the Alvin C. York Institute after spending several years raising money for the school which opened as a private institution. That school was established, in part, to provide educational opportunities denied to the boys and girls of Fentress Country. In 1937, the Institute became a state special school after an appeal to the Tennessee State Legislature. The school, located in Jamestown, Tenn., is still in operation today.

York died on Sept. 2, 1964 and the foundation which he helped establish in 1920 – The Sergeant York Patriotic Foundation – was dormant for many years. The Foundation was re-established by Lipscomb Davis, Jr. in 1992 and is currently run by Sgt. York’s grandson Gerald (U.S. Army Colonel, Retired). York’s papers are archived by Michael E. Birdwell, Ph.D., who is an associate professor of history at Tennessee Technological University, one of the four institutions that will compete for the yearly honor.

After the completion of the football season, the Sergeant York Trophy is awarded to the institution with the best head-to-head record in the match-ups with their fellow Tennessee schools. In the event of a tie, the award is shared; however, the previous winner will retain the trophy if they are part of the tie. If the tie is between two other institutions, the trophy will go to the institution that has gone the most seasons without winning the trophy.

The award is presented to the winning institution annually at the Pepsi Celebration of Champions which is hosted each spring by the Nashville Sports Council. The event was created in 1999 and salutes amateur and pro- fessional sports in Tennessee.
