Sokol Arena Inside the Wayne and Eileen Ryan Athletic Center On Oct. 16, 2007, an important milestone was reached when Creighton broke ground for a new on-campus facility at the northeast corner of 19th and Webster – just north of Michael G. Morrison, S.J., Stadium – thanks to the generous donations of Wayne and Eileen Ryan and family and Dave and Peggy Sokol. D.J. Sokol Arena inside the Wayne and Eileen Ryan Athletic Center is a 75,000 square-foot facility, that houses a gymnasium holding 2,950 fans, as well as coaches’ offices and locker rooms for women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, baseball and softball. It also houses areas for ticket- ing, athletic training, meeting rooms, media workrooms, hospitality func- tions and additional academic space. The arena is also being used for other campus and community events, including assemblies, coaching camps and clinics, concerts, speakers and high school graduations. Wayne and Eileen Ryan and their family have been long-time supporters of Creighton University. Wayne Ryan, BS'49, MS'51, chairman and CEO of Streck Laboratories, Inc., began his career teaching at Creighton before pursuing The Ryan and Sokol familes were honored during the dedication of the facility at intermission of the Creighton vs. Texas Tech volleyball match his passion for research that led to the founding of his company.

Sokol, who died in 1999 following a battle with Hodgkin’s disease, by naming the gymnasium the D.J.Sokol Arena. Sokol serves as chairman and CEO of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company, a glob- al leader in the production, supply and distribution of ener- gy from diversified fuel sources and recently served on Creighton University’s Board of Directors. D.J. Sokol “We have been searching to find a more suitable venue for women’s basket- ball and volleyball competitions for some time,” said Creighton athletics director Bruce Rasmussen. “Visionary donors like the Ryans and Sokols make our dreams of an even stronger athletics program, championed by intense- ly loyal fans, more of a reality. This Bluejay spirit is a unifying characteristic that enhances the institution’s visibility and reputation.” The facility was fully funded by private monies and is home to Bluejay vol- Wayne and Eileen Ryan pose with Billy Bluejay at the groundbreaking leyball and women’s basketball. for the Wayne and Eileen Ryan Athletic Center and D.J.

  • Disability and Death Clauses in College Coaches' Contracts
    Disability and Death Clauses in College Coaches’ Contracts By Martin J. Greenberg I. INTRODUCTION There is little in the literature about two clauses that have an enormous impact on the economics of college coaches’ contracts. They are the death and disability clauses. If either were to occur, subject to the dictates of the contract, it could mean a termination of the contractual obligations of the university and an end to the coaches’ income stream. If the coach dies, the contract and the obligations of the university thereunder normally terminate. Disability on the other hand is more complicated. What is the definition of disability, who determines disability, and how long is one able to be disabled before the contract terminates? These issues are not only perplexing, but need to be expressly addressed in the coaches’ contracts. The case of Terry Hoeppner (“Hoeppner”) is illustrative of the issues. Hoeppner was hired on December 17, 2004 as the head football coach at Indiana University, after having coached at Miami University in Ohio for six seasons, compiling a 48–25 record and taking the team to two consecutive bowl games in 2003 and 2004. 1 Hoeppner was hired in 2004 to rebuild Indiana’s floundering football program.2 He immediately nicknamed the Hoosiers’ home field “The Rock” and then had a limestone boulder added to Memorial Stadium to reinforce the message. 3 In two years at Indiana, he was 9–14. 4 On December 27, 2005, Hoeppner underwent surgery to remove a tumor from his right temple. 5 On September 12, 2006, he announced he would undergo a second surgery the next day 1 Terry Hoeppner: Timeline , 13WTHR Indianapolis, http://www.wthr.com/story/6679762/terry-hoeppner-timeline (last visited Jan.

  • NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 43, No
    NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 43, No. 2, Feb. 27, 2004) NCBWA President’s Message By NCBWA President Jeff Hurd Before basketball’s March Madness descends upon us, it is a little amazing that some Division I baseball teams are approaching the 20-game mark (notably Kansas at 9-7-1 through Feb. 23 and Cal Poly at 12- 4 prior to its Feb. 25-29 games). Before you know it, the NCAA Regionals will be upon us. This absolutely is one of the busiest but most intriguing times of the college sports year with as many as 10-12 sports occurring simultaneously from baseball to men’s volleyball to golf to indoor track to gosh- knows-what. It’s also refreshing to welcome the initial 2004 NCAA Division II NCBWA poll to this month’s newsletter and to see some of the baseball teams from cooler weather regions migrating south for the annual ritual of spring break baseball. The incessant pings of the aluminum bats remind us that the sights and smells of springtime and conference baseball cannot be far off; enjoy and sneak out of the arenas when time permits for some great diamond activity. Sincerely, Jeff Hurd - NCBWA President - Western Athletic Conference NCBWA Division I Players of Week The NCBWA Division I National Players of the Week are into their third week of the 2004 season. Nominees for the aw2ard are taken from Conference players of the week and announced on Tuesday. NCBWA Vice-President Mike Montoro of Southern Miss ([email protected]) coordinates the weekly awards.
