34 ('-- ~ - - THE------C:CNF"ERENCE------______.,,,
Entering its 59th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the suc• cess that has made It the nation's eighth-oldest NCAA Division 1 conference. In 2003, the OVC extended Its geographical footprint into Alabama for the first timej expanding CHIC VALL~'Y CCNF"ERl!NCI! the league's membersnip l:o a record 11 Institutions with the addition of acksonvllle State Lfniverslty and Samford University. The OVC's proud past dates back to 1948 but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy sEewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey} HughesJ the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky't and Kelly Thompson, the public relations olrector at Western Kentucky, first broached he Idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 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. In the 1950's, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-soutf\ern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead State, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-confer• ence recognition as a halfback In football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the Institutions In the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. The first Division l·AA football playoff was held In 1978 with only four teams, which Is the only year through present day that the OVC did not field a playoff representative. Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher Ron English In 1979, four of the nation's top teams were Invited to the playoffs, and two of them • Eastern Kentucky and Murray State • were from the OVC. Commissioner Associate Commissioner Football wasn't the only sport in which the OVC was quickly gaining respect. In for Operati ons 1955, the OVC became only the second six-member league nationalry to earn an auto matic bid to the prestigious NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, which, at that timeJ was limited to only 24 par1icipants. The conrerence quickly proved worthy of that bid, as Morehead State defeated Marshall (107-92} and Wayne State (95-84} In the 1956 tournament. ln the late 1970's, women's athletics began somewhat of a reblrtti on the national scene as the NCAA began sponsoring and marketing women's sports. Recognizing the need to provide Increased opportunities for female atliletes, the OVC established women's championships in the sports of basketball, tennis and track In L977/ with cross country and volleyball added over the next four years. Those sports were nitlally governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, but the overall strength of women's programs In the league was demonstrated by the automatic bids the OVC Instantly recelved when the NCAA became the governing body in 1982. Women's basketball in the OVC has been clominated by Tennessee Tech, which has won or shared 15 regular-season titles and owns nine OVC Tournament titles. In fac~ the Golden Eaglettes nave reached the championship game of the OVC Tournament bl times in the past 25 years. Although Tennessee Tech remains the standard-bearer, four other teams have won 10 of the last 13 OVC Tournaments. Southeast Missouri became the latest program to add its name to the 11st, capturing its first OVC Tournament title In Jennifer Brost Lee Moses 2005. Austin Peay leads the quartet with five crowns, 1ncludlng four straight from 2000· Assistant Commissioner Assi stant Commissioner 03, while Tennessee State (1994-95} and Eastern Kentucky each have two tourney for Championships for lnstltutlonal titles (1997, 2004} during tliat span. Services Several coaches have made their mark In the relatively short history of OVC women's basketball. Former TennessPP Tech coach Marynell Meador5 po5tcd an amazing 3G3· 139 (72.3%} record at Tech becoming the first woman In NCAA or AIAW history to win 300 games at the same instltutionL while former Tennessee State skipper Teresa Phillips earned National Coach of the Year nonors from USA Today In 1990 for turnln(l around the Lady Tigers' program before going on to lead TSU to the NCAA Tournament in 1994 and 1995. At the enc of the 2005·06 season, Tennessee Tech coach BIii Worrell announced his retirement after a stellar 20-year career In which he compiled a 408·190 record while leading the Golden Eaglettes to an unprecedented 16 OVC regular-season titles and eight NCAA Tournament appearances, Including five straight from 1989-93. Cur rent Eastern Kentucky coach Larry Joe I nman has won more than 100 games at both Middle Tennessee and EKU, and has earned OVC Coach of the Year honors a record eight times • five times at EKU and three at MTSU. Many great players have graced the hardwood over the years, Including former OVC Players of the Year Brooke Armistead and Gerlonda Hardin from Austin Peay, Pam Chambers, Jerilynn Harper..

Compliance Letter
Dear Friends: Morehead State University is committed to upholding the highest integr ity within all procedures and practices of the athletic department. We are pleased to publish this note as a reference to understanding often confusing NCAA regulations. The NCAA defines "representatives of athletic Interests" as alumni, friends and boosters of the University. All member institutions are held accountable for their representatives' actions. One violation cou ld jeopardize the eligibility of any or all Eagle Athletic programs. As a general rule, anyone who has financially supported Eagle Athletics, been a member of any booster orga nization, or who has supported Eagle Athletics is considered a " representative" of Eagle Athletics. Prospective student-athletes can be defined as a student who has started classes in the ninth grade or any younger student-athlete who has received a benefit from the institution. These individuals may only be recruited by MSU coaches who have passed the NCAA Recruiting Rules Examination. Wh ile "representatives" of Eagle Athletics may speak to any of these individuals via telephone or in person, a recruiting effort must not be made. Also, no student-athlete or prospective student-athlete may receive any extra benefit outside of the support provided by the Institution. For any questions regarding this description, please contact Jim Wells, Compliance and Eligibility Coordinator, 606-783-5136. These are certainly not all the regulations any " representative" of Eagle Athletics must remember. However, they provide a good outline of the types of things that could endanger the eligibility of any MSU Athletics pro gram. Again, feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Thanks again for your support of Morehead State Athletics. t!.~Sincerely, Compliance and Eligibility Coordinator ------;@i------msueagles.com - The Home of Eagle Athletics on the Web
