WELCOME

I want to welcome you to the Pac-12, a Conference steeped in tradition and focused on defining the future. We have great pride and respect for our rich history of academic excellence and superior athletic achievement. We will continue to uphold these traditions and embrace a broad-based commitment to success as we enter a new era in college athletics. Remarkable student-athletes and leaders have helped define the Pac-12 as the “Confer- ence of Champions” with 455 NCAA titles, by far the most of any conference in the country. And that does not include the 2,715 individual championships our multi-talented student- athletes have won. This talent took center stage at the 2012 Olympics where 255 of our current or former student-athletes captured 45 medals, including 19 gold, while representing 44 different countries in 18 different disciplines. If the league were a nation, it would have ranked fifth in the total medal count and fifth in gold medals won. I am proud that with this year’s launch of Pac-12 Networks - a wholly independent con- tent organization dedicated exclusively to supporting the missions of the Conference and our member universities – the Pac-12 has made a commitment to provide all our athletic programs with the unprecedented exposure that they and their student-athletes deserve. I was a beneficiary of intercollegiate athletics and am very passionate about the mission and role sports can play as part of a broader academic experience. As you watch these student- athletes compete, I hope you will appreciate their pure skill and dedication to athletics, as well as their ability to balance the academic demands of some of our country’s top institutions. As a fan, we ask that you create an atmosphere that is fun for our student-athletes and family friendly. Your courtesy to student-athletes from other teams and our officials is ap- preciated and expected. We hope you agree with us, and the NCAA, about the importance of sportsmanship: “Respect is the name of the game.” We are very excited about what the future holds for the Pac-12 Conference and thank you for being part of our team this year. Enjoy the championships.

Sincerely,

Commissioner Larry Scott

4 2013 PAC-12 CHAMPIONSHIPS // GYMNASTICS Sportsmanship Award

Bryson Beirne from Arizona and Brittany Hart from Oregon were honored as the 2012 Sportsmanship Award winners for demonstrating consistently good sportsmanship and ethical behavior in his/her daily participation in athletics and demonstrated good citizenship outside of the sports competition setting. The spotlight on good citizens of college athletics comes at a time when both the Pac-12 and the NCAA are focusing on creating a positive environment for student-athletes and fans through good sportsmanship.

The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee selected the winners from nominations submitted by member institutions. One male and one female are selected annually, and those winners are forwarded to the NCAA for consideration for the NCAA Sportsman- ship Award. Bryson Beirne Arizona Bryson Beirne injured his knee early in the 2011 football sea- son and had to decide whether to sit out a year or play with the in- jury. He sacrificed the opportunity to sit out the season and played on the injured knee, which allowed fellow quarterback Matt Scott to utilize a redshirt year. In Arizona’s final Pac-12 game of the sea- son at rival Arizona State, Beirne was called on when starting quarterback Nick Foles went down with an injury late in the fourth quarter. Trailing 27-24, Beirne connected on his only pass attempt - a 23-yard touchdown pass that put the Wildcats in front for a 31-27 Territorial Cup victory.

Beirne earned his degree in family studies and human development and is cur- rently enrolled in the University of Arizona’s MBA program.

Brittany Hart Oregon Brittany Hart, a native of Hillsboro, Ore., tore her ACL in a tumbling routine in a home meet against Baylor, but continued to complete the two minute and 30 second routine. She then aided her teammates as she helped form foundations and tossed teammates in various acrobatic skills during the remainder of the competition. By continu- ing to compete while injured, she helped the Ducks defeat Baylor and earn the No. 2-seed entering the National Collegiate Acrobatic and Tumbling Association Championships. The Ducks went on to capture 2012 NCATA national championship.

Hart, a sociology major, is in her senior season.

15 Oregon State University

® Most Oregon State University fans know that their favorite university is located in Corvallis, Ore., has a branch campus in Bend, a world-class marine science center in Newport, and an Extension presence in each of Oregon’s 36 counties. But there are a few other things about Oregon State that even the most ardent Beaver fan may not know. For example, did you know that Oregon State is one of only 41 universities nationwide to be selected as a “Best Buy” institution in 2012 by the Fiske Guide to Colleges? With de- grees including engineering, public health, marine sciences, agriculture, forestry, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, business, science, and liberal arts, you would be hard-pressed to find a university with more diverse academic offerings. Corvallis also was named as one of the top five “Best Col- lege Towns” and “Best Overall College Destinations” by the American Institute for Economic Research. These rankings are based on the high quality of life, the academic environment of Oregon State, and professional opportunities for grads. Oregon State’s colors may be orange and black, but in many ways, the university is one of the most “green” in the country. OSU has been named to the Princeton Review’s 2012 Green Rating Honor Roll as one of the nation’s top 16 colleges and uni- versities for sustainability. And Oregon State is the nation’s second leading purchaser of “green” power by a university, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. What makes the university’s sustainability initiatives most laudable is that they frequently are led by students. In 2007, Oregon State students voted to impose a special fee upon themselves to fund the purchase of renewable energy for the campus – and since then, some three-quarters of the university’s electricity has come from renewable production. Even some of the exercise machines in are hooked up to generate electricity during student cardio workouts, and feed the power back into the grid. Oregon State has had some pretty interesting people who have studied on its campus. Linus Pauling is the only individual to win two unshared Nobel Prizes – for peace and chemistry. Terry Baker is the only person to have won the Heisman Trophy in football, and played in the Final Four in basketball. Douglas Engelbart developed the computer mouse. Dick Fosbury introduced the Fosbury Flop to high jumping. Did you know that Oregon State men’s basketball coach Craig Robinson is the brother-in-law of President Barack Obama? In 2012, First Lady Michelle Obama, Coach Robinson’s sister, delivered the commencement address at OSU’s to some 33,000 people – the largest audience ever for an Oregon State graduation ceremony. Oregon State is one of just two universities in the country (along with Cornell) to be designated a Land Grant, Sea Grant, Space Grant and Sun Grant institution. And OSU is one of the few universities to offer ROTC programs in four branches of the military – Navy, Army, Air Force and Marine Corps. OSU is the leading research university in the state, and its $260 million-plus in annual research funding brings together faculty and students from different dis- ciplines to tackle diverse societal issues, including climate change, childhood obesity, water use policy, conservation biology, transparent electronics, and sustainable natural resources. One signature project is OSU’s leadership in the National Science Foundation-funded Ocean Observatories Initiative, a $386 million project that looks at the impacts of climate change on the world’s oceans. The university is in the midst of The Campaign for OSU, which to date has raised more than $850 million toward a goal of $1 billion. Donors are investing in the university’s students, faculty and facilities to provide scholarships, endowed positions and world-class buildings and laboratories. This momentum is helping Oregon State attract high-achieving students; more than 40 percent of the incoming freshmen from Oregon had grade point averages of 3.75 or higher. And when OSU students graduate, they enter jobs that reward them with a media annual income that is more than 50 percent greater than the median income nationwide. That is why business and industry leaders increasingly partner with Oregon State to not only produce innovation and business systems that spur the economy, but meet career-ready graduates. Oregon State also has some unusual facilities and resources that few universities can match. Here are just a few: • The University has about 15,000 acres of its own forests, most within a few miles of campus, where students learn about growing and managing multiple-use forests – and enjoy hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking. • The nation’s most sophisticated tsunami wave basin is located on campus as part of the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory. • Oregon State has its own nuclear reactor, where faculty and students have helped create a new generation of passively safe nuclear power generators, and a nationally ranked program in radiation health physics. • OSU has its own fleet of research ships and a reputation as one of the top oceanography programs in the world. Scientists at the university’s Hatfield Marine Science Center helped pioneer the use of satellites to track threatened and endan- gered marine mammals. • Oregon State University is the leading academic institution in the nation in the field of wave energy research and home to the Northwest National Marine Renew- able Energy Center, created by the U.S. Department of Energy to develop this clean, sustainable source of power. • Numerous research farms and food processing facilities allow Oregon State to play a key role in developing new varieties of high-yield wheat, multi-colored po- tatoes and tomatoes that have enhanced beneficial health qualities, surimi seafood products enjoyed worldwide, and disease-resistant hazelnuts and fruits. Last, but certainly not least, on the list of interesting things about Oregon State University is this: OSU has one of the top two fermentation science programs in the country. That’s right – Oregon State has its own fermentation laboratories, a research brewery and winery, and a pilot processing plant, and OSU students graduate into leadership positions in the beer and wine industries. The university also just launched its first artisan cheese product, Beaver Classic Cheese. And to top it off, Oregon State is where the maraschino cherry was developed. Cheers!
