US COLLEGE TENNIS Education & Sports Beeyong Sison Dallas, Texas US COLLEGE TENNIS ITS News & Media Center Education & Sports Beeyong Sison May 27, 2009 Inside: US-NCAA, Olympics, Philippine Sports Commission, Dwight Davis, Willie Hernandez, Jr; Cecil Mamiit, Eric Taino, Steve Denton, Texas A&M; Martin & Michael Misa, Devin Britton, Lorenzo Sison; Subic¶s Nico Riego De Dios, Eastern Washington University, Dallas, Texas - Year 2008 will be remembered when the U.S. housing and credit bubble burst causing a global economic free-fall. Corporate sports sponsorships are hardest hit by the economic downturn particularly in the financial and auto industries. Insurance giant AIG, Merrill Lynch, General Motors and Toyota have suffered huge financial losses. Some companies have laid-off workers by the thousands to survive and some are no longer in business. As a result, the first to be adversely affected are sporting events. This means lesser prize money and fewer sporting events. The guarantee of lucrative endorsements for top athletes also suffered most notably Tigers Woods whose $7 million annual sponsorship by General Motors has been scrapped. Sponsorships of young future Olympic and pro stars¶ training will be just as difficult to justify with the high cost of maintenance in these dire times. The cost of sports academies and coaching fees rising together with the need for a university degree, many sports organizations and athletes¶ families are rethinking their future plans. What better way than United States National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) programs. For promising athletes, the most practical and cost effective way of realizing their sporting dream while securing their job future is still through the NCAA athletic program. The chance to earn a college degree while enjoying an Olympic-standard training program is just too good to pass-up. Many junior athletes are again setting their sights at the U.S. collegiate sports before jumping straight into the pro ranks. Historically, NCAA colleges and universities have been the lifeblood in multiple sports that compete as part of the Olympic program. Of the members of the U.S. Olympic teams from 1980 through 2000, around 94 percent were in attendance at or had attended NCAA institutions. International sporting bodies including China traditionally send their Olympic athletes and coaches to train and study in the United States to have a competing chance. In terms of facilities and other services, NCAA Division I institutions spend an average of $3 million per year on facilities and non-coaching services for men's and women's teams on the Olympic sports calendar. (Source: NCAA.org) 1 However, due to economic constraints, the past few years saw the elimination of several sports programs by NCAA member institutions that disproportionately affected Olympic sports, prompting serious challenges for some national governing bodies dependent upon collegiate programs as a key source for future and current Olympic-caliber athletes. Furthermore, the sports decline has resulted in lost participation opportunities for NCAA student-athletes. A task force has been formed by both governing bodies to address this challenge. (Source: NCAA.org) National federations encourage their athletes to pursue their training in the United States with the added bonus of higher learning at practically no cost to their national budget. According to the NCAA, the average Division I-A institution spends $10,900,000 (PHP523M) on all its men teams, $4,600,000 on all its women teams and $7,700,000 on expenses that benefit both genders. Compare this to an Olympic-member nation, the Philippine Sports Commission could only afford to budget US$604,000 (PHP29M) for its entire national Olympic sports program in 2007. (Source: Philippine Olympic Committee) In tennis, the NCAA college tennis program has remained strong over the years although it did not come unscathed and unscratched. Availability of full-scholarship grants have dwindled from 6 to 4.5 per college team. Each team consists of 6 players competing 6 single and 3 doubles matches head-to-head. According to Texas A&M University Head Coach Steve Denton, a 2x Grand Slam event singles finalist, 1982 US Open Doubles winner and himself a product of NCAA program at UT-Austin, none of the top schools can now afford to give full benefits and at the same time remain competitive. Denton, who Swiss-born Filipino (left) Lorenzo Sison now with the Christopher Newport University Captains in Virginia; and Eastern Washington University·s Nico Riego De Dios (r) ² two of the many Filipino tennis student athletes who have continued the tradition of acquiring higher education in the United States through tennis. De Dios was named ´scholar athleteµ by EWU with a 3.3 grade point average. Both Sison and De Dios were named to their All-Conference Teams by their respective divisions. See De Dios article below page 5. recently hired legendary coach and player Bob McKinley and brother of 1963 Wimbledon champion Chuck to be his assistant, adds that four-year scholarships are no longer guaranteed to NCAA student athletes. A scholar athlete¶s performance is reviewable every 2 year as schools have the flexibility to increase or to decrease the amount of financial grants depending on performance on and off the field. Scholar athletes are now asked to shoulder part of the annual expenses averaging US$5,000 per academic year. Still, this is a small price to pay and a tiny percentage considering the price for a college education (Texas A&M: $31,530/year for out-of ±state) and the fees involved in training athletes. The average expenditure per athlete in NCAA Division I-A is $34,000 (PHP1.6M) per male student-athlete and $20,000 per female student-athlete. For coaching, the average Division I-AAA (no football) institution spends $610,000 (PHP29M) on coaches' salaries for its men's teams and $505,000 on coaches' salaries for its women's teams. (Source: NCAA Revenues and Expenses of Divisions I and II Intercollegiate Athletics Programs) In tennis alone, the average training cost incurred by players in 2008 among 10 privately- run sports academies in the US and Europe catering to top juniors and ATP/WTA tour players run up between US$80,000 and $100,000 per year. And yet there is no guarantee on return on investment (Source: ITS-Subic Tennis 2008). Athletes from developing countries such as the Philippines where 30 percent of the 85 million people earn one dollar per day, being offered a US college academic-sports grant is like winning the national lottery in these economic times. The pay-off is very good just having a degree. According to the US Census Bureau, workers with a bachelor¶s degree earned an average of $57,181 (PHP2.7M) annually in the United States compared with workers with a high school diploma at an average of $31,286 in 2007. (Texas A&M tops the list on return on tuition investment at 315%. See Smart Money, http://www.smartmoney.com/personal- finance/college-planning/colleges-that-pay-off/?page=all Recent years have seen an up-tick of foreign bred tennis players who have had successful international junior careers enroll in U.S. universities. In fact, 14 of the top 20 ranked men¶s college tennis players of 2009 have come from Europe, England, Australia and South America. All are also poised to graduate with a bachelor¶s degree within a year or two and who will definitely contribute to their respective national economies. (Source: College Tennis Online) For talented athletes, since making it as one of the world¶s top tennis players or as an Olympic Gold Medalist is as guaranteed as seeing an elephant fly someday, and then combine this with the rising tuition fees of higher education, many parents, coaches and their sponsors are remapping their aspirations for these intelligent young athletes. Collegiate sports in the US have now become a necessity not an option. University of Tulsa¶s Arnau Brugues, a native of powerhouse Spain, is working on his Master¶s Degree in Business Administration. He is Ranked No.1 by NCAA College Tennis as of May 2009. Who will guarantee that he will not win the French Open or an Olympic Gold Medal someday.

Scholar Athlete Dwight Davis, an NCAA Doubles Champion and donor of the coveted Davis Cup trophy in 1900, served as the Philippine Governor-General in 1929 until 1932. Having served as Public Parks Commissioner in St. Louis in 1912, Davis instituted the expansion of sports facilities and public parks all-over the archipelago during his tenure in Manila culminating in the construction of the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex in 1936. As a result, the Philippines provided a steady stream of Filipino student-athletes to American colleges dating back from 1960¶s to present. In tennis, among the notables is Juan Jose, an Asian Games Gold Medalist who studied at University of Southern California and Guillermo Hernandez Jr., son of Philippine sports broadcasting icon Willie Sr., who attended the University of Arizona under celebrated Texan coach Dave Snyder during the mid-60s in Tuscon. Snyder subsequently coached Steve Denton and teammate Wimbledon finalist Kevin Curren at University of Texas during the 70s in Austin. Jose and Hernandez were followed by Asian junior champion Jose Villarete, RP No.1 Macky Dominguez, Pre-Open Wimbledon-plate winner Felicisimo Ampon¶s sons Felix, Melecio, and Joselito - all attending Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. At left photo, Filipino Davis Cupper Cecil Mamiit won the NCAA Singles Championships in 1996 for University of Southern California as a freshman.

    The Real Housing Story ( Learn how Aptos has housed aspiring professional Tennis players for 20 years ) By Brent Ainsworth Professional tennis players don’t sign guaranteed contracts to play on the ATP tour. There are no signing bonuses upon turning pro. Paychecks aren’t automatically deposited on the first and 15 th of the month, and there’s no such thing as a paid vacation. If the players you see at the $75,000 Comerica Challenger this week play well, they’ll get paid well accordingly. The singles champion will nab $10,800 – not bad at all. But that’s just one lucky (and talented) guy out 32 in the draw. And potentially 28 more might’ve traveled to Seascape Sports Club just for the qualifying tournament, to fight for four coveted spots in the main draw, and failed to make it. Some players have to stop touring more because they run out of cash than because they believe they can’t win. That’s why the free housing provided by Seascape club members and other friends of the tournament is so critical. This tournament is called “75+H,” which means there is $75,000 in prize money plus hospitality, which gives the players the option of paying for their own hotel or motel rooms or stay for free with members of the host club. Usually it’s the more established pros who have experienced a level of success through the years who can afford to pay for hotels week after week. But most of the rookies will gladly take up a Seascape member on the offer and shack up with a brand new friend or family.
