  • MOUNTAIN WEST and CONFERENCE USA ANNOUNCE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION Landmark Plan Will Give Members Stability, Exposure and Access
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OCTOBER 14, 2011 MOUNTAIN WEST AND CONFERENCE USA ANNOUNCE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION Landmark Plan Will Give Members Stability, Exposure and Access IRVING, Texas/COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Mountain West Conference and Conference USA have unanimously come to an agreement in principle to consolidate their member football programs into one large association. Commissioners of the two leagues formulated this creative and innovative plan with the support of the presidents, chancellors and athletics directors. The 12 members of Conference USA and 10 football‐playing members of the Mountain West will join forces for this strategic landmark in college football. “The role of a conference is to provide its members with the best possible environment in which to conduct their intercollegiate athletics programs,” said Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson. “Rather than await changes in membership due to realignment, it became clear the best way to serve our institutions was to pursue an original concept. The Mountain West and C‐USA share a number of similarities, and the creative merger of our football assets firmly positions our respective members for the future.” “The potential of this association is very exciting,” Conference USA Commissioner Britton Banowsky said. “By taking an innovative approach, we feel we can offer tremendous opportunities for exposure and stability without breaking up the regional rivalries that truly make up the college football tradition.” UNLV President and Mountain West Board of Directors Chair Neal Smatresk said, “In an era of uncertainty in intercollegiate athletics, this collaborative partnership with C‐USA lends stability and credibility to our collective football enterprise. We are excited about the prospect of having teams in five time zones and the many possibilities created by this extremely bold and proactive step.” Conference USA Board of Directors Chair and Tulane president Scott Cowen said, “We are very pleased to be moving forward with the Mountain West Conference on this high potential, unique partnership.

  • Department of Intercollegiate Athletics
    Department of Intercollegiate Athletics (White Paper Analysis - 2011) Introduction This is an update to the our 2009 white paper. It includes information regarding contingency plans for possible operating budget reductions at 2%, 5% and 8% levels and the expense areas that might be affected. Our percentage reductions are based on our full Section I distribution of $11,353,932. We do believe, however, that the more accurate calculation should be taken from our Section I distribution minus our Obligation to the General Fund ($2,379,044). Since we must pay back the Obligation to the General Fund, planning for budget reductions using this number causes Intercollegiate Athletics to reduce expenses based on an “inflated” Section I funding amount. Here is how the 2%, 5% and 8% budget reduction amounts calculate…with Obligation to the General Fund included compared to the amount when it is not included: SECTION I (With Obligation included) SECTION I (Without Obligation) $11,353,932 TOTAL $8,974,888 TOTAL $227,079 2% Reduction $179,498 2% Reduction $567,697 5% Reduction $448,744 5% Reduction $908,315 8% Reduction $717,991 8% Reduction FINANCIAL/ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW From a budget perspective, the University of Wyoming Intercollegiate Athletics program ($26 million) remains at or near the bottom (8th or 9th …out of nine schools) in the Mountain West Conference. The conference institutions which we compete against are Air Force, Boise State , Colorado State, Fresno State, Nevada, New Mexico, San Diego State,, UNLV and Hawaii (football only). The UW Intercollegiate Athletic budget is made up of approximately 40% Section I (State) funding and 60% Section II (self generated) funding.

Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Nels Popp Bob Malekoff Nick Fulton © 2018 Sarah Tuohy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Sarah Tuohy: Invited to the Big Dance: Analyzing the effect a NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament appearance has on giving at mid-major universities. (Under the direction of Nels Popp) The primary purpose of this study was to determine if there was a significant effect on mid-major universities’ Total Donations, Athletic-Restricted Donations, and Attendance after a Division I men’s basketball team makes the NCAA tournament. Donation and attendance data was collected from 153 mid-major universities who made the NCAA men’s basketball tournament at least once during 2004-05 to 2013-14. Paired samples t-tests found there was a statistically significant increase in Total Donations and Athletic-Restricted Donations the year immediately following a tournament appearance. After a school appeared in the NCAA tournament, universities saw on average a 6.8% and 10.24% increase in Total Donations and Athletic-Restricted Donations respectively. iii To my sister Lauren. Thank you for you for constantly pushing me to get my work done. Without you I would probably be graduating with the class of 2023.
