KiMbrOUgh MEMOrial STadiUMCelebrating its Golden Anniversary during the 2009

season, Kimbrough Memorial Stadium has stood as a symbol of pride for West Texas A&M football fans since 1959. The stadium boasts the largest seating capacity of any on-campus football facility in NCAA Division II, seating 20,000 fans in its unique, bowl shaped sur-roundings.

The Buffs’ contest against Texas A&M-Kingsville on Sept. 26, 2009, will mark 50 years to the date that the stadium was dedicated.

Originally known as the Buffalo Bowl, the facility was renamed Kimbrough Memorial Stadium in 1971 in honor of the late WT football coach and athletic director Frank Kimbrough.

The location, just off Interstate 27 on the Amarillo-Canyon Expressway, was chosen for its ground features that made a bowl-like construction easier for the Neil Singleton Construction Company of Amarillo. The $700,000 financing was handled, in part, by donated money from boosters desiring to replace the old 7,000 seat, on-campus structure that occupied land where the Jack B. Kelley Student Center, Killgore Research Center and Cornette Library now stand.

Its east-side chair back section, which was the original home side, had power outlets every two seats affording fans power for electric blankets, radios, coffee pots, and even the new portable television sets.

The stadium’s dedication in 1959 served as the cen-terpiece for the University’s 50th anniversary celebration and was attended by U.S. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson, U.S. Representative Walter Rogers, members of the Board of Regents of Texas State Teachers Colleges, and delegates from about 40 colleges and universities across the Southwest.

The stadium received a major overhaul when a new synthetic grass surface known as Field Turf was installed in 2003, replacing the original Bermuda-grass field.

The first game ever played in the Bowl was against longtime Border Conference rival University of Arizona. A crowd of 11,000 fans saw the Wildcats defeat Coach Clark Jarnigan’s young Buffs, 7-6, when freshman quarterback Corky Dawson was stopped in his attempt to run for two points. The point-after attempt came after Dawson had scored the Buffs’ first touchdown in the new stadium on a 10-yard keeper. The first victory by WTAMU in the new stadium was a 34-21 decision over

Drake on Halloween in 1959.

The 100th game in the stadium saw the Buffs defeat Indiana State, 31-20, on Oct. 29, 1977, while the 200th game played at Kimbrough saw WT defeat Angelo State, 37-7 on Oct. 3, 1998.

In 2005, 22,993 fans packed Kimbrough Memorial Stadium on Oct. 8 to watch the Buffs defeat rival Eastern New Mexico in overtime, 52-51, to claim the Wagon Wheel Trophy and their first conference championship since 1986.

The largest crowd to ever see a contest at Kimbrough Memorial occurred on Oct. 13, 2007, when 23, 276 fans packed the historic stadium to see WT defeat Eastern New Mexico, 62-31.

The Buffs have led the nation in Division II total attendance each of the last four seasons under Coach Carthel, averaging just under 14,000 fans per regular-season home contest during the 2005 campaign, 12,049 fans per game during the 2007 season and 11,896 per contest in 2008, including crowds in excess of 22,000 packing the historic bowl in two of the past three years.

a ChaMpiONShip TradiTiONOver the past four seasons, no Texas-based NCAA

collegiate football team has won more regular-season games, nor posted a better regular-season winning percentage, than West Texas A&M.

With a four-year regular-season record of 41 wins and just three defeats, the Buffaloes’ 93.2 winning percent-age stands high above them all. In fact, only one team, nationally, has recorded a better regular-season winning percentage than the Buffaloes over that four-year span.

Helping make that total a reality is the fact that WT has not lost a regular-season road contest since October, 2004 - a span of over four-and-a-half seasons. And they’ve dropped just one regular-season home game over those past four years.

Tough on the road; tough at home. Record-breaking crowds and 10-win regular seasons.

It all adds up to three-consecutive Lone Star Confer-ence championships and four straight NCAA Playoff ap-pearances. Over the four seasons that Don Carthel has been the Buffs’ head coach, WT has become a perennial football powerhouse.

To say that Don Carthel has elevated the West Texas A&M football to that of national prominence would be an understatement. What Carthel has accomplished over the past four seasons at WTAMU is simply amazing, having taken a program that had won just seven games over the previous four years combined and guide it to four successive NCAA Division-II playoff appearances, three-consecutive Lone Star Conference Championships - and 44 victories.

During his first season in Canyon, Carthel and the Buffs surprised everyone, having been picked to finish last in the LSC preseason poll, as they registered a 10-1 regular season record and captured the school’s first Lone Star Conference Championship in 19 years. Excite-ment surrounding Carthel’s program was evident as at-tendance soared, with a regular-season average of over 14,000 fans per game at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium. In addition to garnering local praise from alumni and area media outlets, Carthel was honored by his peers as the 2005 Lone Star Conference Coach of the Year.

Following that breakout campaign there was still work to be done as Carthel set out in 2006 to let the LSC and the rest of NCAA Division II know that WT’s 2005’s success was no fluke. The Buffs left little doubt, as they posted an 11-2 season and became the first squad in school history to claim back-to-back outright conference championships. In addition, WT notched another ‘first’ in the school record book as it claimed the program’s first-ever NCAA Division II playoff victory with a 30-27 overtime win over Abilene Christian. After leading the country in Division II average attendance the previous year, Buff fans again came out in droves, helping WT rank first, nationally, in total attendance.

That only set the stage for what was to come during the 2007 campaign, as the Buffs confidently went about amassing the school’s first-ever undefeated regular season, going 11-0 to claiming a third-straight Lone Star Conference championship and advance two rounds into the NCAA post-season playoffs.

Another 11-win, record shattering campaign followed in 2008, as the Buffs again were among the biggest draws in NCAA Division II. That season saw Carthel’s squad set no fewer than 15 team, 21 individual, 26 LSC and eight NCAA playoff records.

But this isn’t the first taste of success for the Friona, Texas, native, as he has enjoyed several successful coaching stops during his career, including time at LSC-rival Eastern New Mexico, the University of Texas-El Paso and the University of Dubuque.

Carthel graduated from ENMU with a bachelor’s de-gree in Physical Education and a minor in Mathematics in 1974, then obtained his master’s in Physical Education in 1975. He played center for the Greyhounds from 1970-73, helping ENMU to a No. 17 NAIA ranking his senior season. In addition to his efforts on the gridiron, Carthel also threw discus for ENMU’s 1974 national championship squad.

In 1975, Carthel began his coaching career at Floy-dada High School, serving as the defensive coordinator under Hall of Fame coach L.G. Wilson. He helped lead the Whirlwinds to district championships in both 1975 and 1976.

In 1977, Carthel moved up to the collegiate ranks, beginning at NCAA Division-III Dubuque University (Iowa). He was assistant head coach/defensive coordinator for the Spartans from 1977-79 and helped turn around a program that had won just three games over the previ-ous four years. Carthel helped lead Dubuque to back-to-back Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) championships in 1978 and 1979, as well as the NCAA Division III playoffs. During 1979, DU was undefeated and ranked No. 3 in the country.

Carthel returned to the high school ranks in 1980, serving as defensive coordinator at Fort Worth’s Boswell High School.

One season later, at the age of 28, Carthel became the youngest head coach in the country when he took over at Lubbock Christian College (now Lubbock Christian University), a position he held from 1981-82.

Carthel then moved on to become an assistant coach at the University of Texas-El Paso (UTEP) from 1983-84 before returning to his alma mater to serve as head coach from 1985-91.

While head coach at ENMU, Carthel helped the Grey-hounds make the transition from NAIA to NCAA Division II, becoming one the top programs in the LSC. In 1985, during Carthel’s first year at the helm, the Greyhounds faced Texas A&I (now Texas A&M University-Kingsville) in the season finale for a share of the LSC title. Despite narrowly losing that game, 21-17, the Greyhounds surged to the top of the LSC, claiming the conference crown in 1991 and becoming the first team outside of Texas to win the LSC championship in the conference’s 59 years of football.

Carthel compiled a 44-28-1 (.610) ledger in his seven years at ENMU, winning seven or more games in five of his seven seasons, including opening the 1987 season with a 9-0 record and tying the school record for victories in a season. In five of Carthel’s seven years, the Greyhounds were ranked in the Division II Top 20 poll. In 2001, Carthel was honored with the induction into the ENMU Hall of Fame.

In January, 1992, Carthel resigned from coaching to return to Friona, where he farmed, raised his family and served on the Friona school board for the next nine years. However, Carthel could not stay away from coach-ing and, in 2001, became a volunteer coach at Abilene Christian.

During that time, his son, Colby, was a standout line-backer at Angelo State University, leading the Rams to the LSC South title in 1999. The younger Carthel would join the ACU staff in 2000 as the recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach. In Abilene, father and son

DON AND CINDY CARTHEL

enjoyed their first coaching stint on the same sideline, a scenario that would repeat itself in 2006 when Colby joined the WT football staff as the Buffs’ defensive coordinator.

The elder Carthel coached at ACU until 2004, when he was named the head coach and general manager of the Amarillo Dusters in their inaugural season in the Intense Football League (IFL). Amarillo posted a 15-3 record under Carthel and won the IFL Championship. Carthel resigned from the Dusters three games into the 2005 season to take the reins at West Texas A&M.

Carthel received honors from the Panhandle Sports Hall of Fame after the Buffs’ sensational 2005 season. In addition, Carthel has garnered the Coach of the Year award from the IFL, as well as being named to the Panhandle Sports Hall of Fame in 2004 for leading the Dusters to the IFL crown. That honor accompanies his 1991 Panhandle Sports Hall of Fame Honor for leading the ENMU football program to the LSC Championship.

Born in Dimmitt, Texas, Carthel was raised in Friona, where as a child, he and his brothers found rides to Canyon to watch WT football and basketball games.

Carthel and his wife, the former Cindy Phillips, of Farwell, Texas, have been married for 37 years, and have two adult children, Colby and Courtney. Colby continues to accompany his father on the sidelines as WTAMU’s defensive coordinator and is married to Sarah (Butler)

Carthel, an All-American volleyball player for the WTAMU Lady Buffs and current assistant for the WTAMU vol-leyball program. Courtney is married to Andrew Burgoon, principal at Canyon ISD’s City View Elementary, and they have twin daughters, Kylie and Kyler, and a son, Kelton.

WITH A WON-LOST PERCENTAGE OF 86.3% OVER HIS FIRST FOUR SEASONS, DON CARTHEL IS THE WINNINGEST FOOTBALL COACH IN WTAMU HISTORY.

Now in his fourth season with the WTAMU football staff, defensive coordinator Colby Carthel has overseen the development of a Buffalo defensive unit that has held four opponents scoreless and five teams to three points or less over the past two seasons.

In 2008, Carthel oversaw the development of line-backer Jared Brock who was a 2008 AFCA all-America selection, as well as earning LSC South Linebacker of the Year accolades. During 2007, lineman Brandon Swain earned first-team Little all-America honors, as well as being named LSC Defensive Lineman of the Year under Carthel’s direction.

Carthel joined the Buffs coaching staff after spending the previous six seasons as the defensive line coach

Among them were records for most yards total offense (7,079), total offensive yards per game (544.5), total points scored (626) and points per game (48.1). Under his guidance, quarterback Keith Null shattered the WT and LSC records for passing yardage (5,097), passing yards/game (392.1) and highest completion percentage/season (67.5), among others.

In 2007, Parr’s offensive unit continued their record-breaking ways, setting then-WT and Lone Star Conference records for most yards passing in a single-season, most single-game completions, season-completions, season-yards per game and total pass-ing yards (all of which were broken in 2008).

In his first season with the Buffs’ program, Parr helped to direct the WT offense to another spectacular season, as the unit ranked second nationally in team passing yards by averaging 326.1 per game. In addition, 10 WT offensive players earned All-Lone Star Conference South honors, including receiver Charly Martin, who also captured numer-ous All-American accolades.

Parr came to WTAMU from LSC-member, Tarleton State, where he coached the Texans’ wide receivers for one season. Prior to Tarleton, Parr served as a graduate as-sistant for two seasons at Baylor, working with the team’s tight ends. During his time in Waco, Parr earned his master’s in Education in 2004.

Before moving to Baylor, Parr was the wide receivers coach at another LSC foe, Abilene Christian, for three seasons. While at ACU, he coached alongside current West Texas A&M head coach Don Carthel. During that time, the Wildcats won a share of the LSC South title in 2002, leading the conference in passing offense. Parr also served a stint as running backs coach at Sam Houston State for two seasons, including the 1999 campaign in which SHSU led the Southland Conference in total offense. While at Sam Houston State, Parr earned his master’s degree in Kinesiology.

Parr earned his bachelor’s degree in Exercise & Sport Science from Hardin-Simmons University in 1998. He began his coaching career there in 1997 as a student assistant, working with HSU’s quarterbacks. During his playing days, Parr was a wide receiver at Hardin-Simmons and was a key element on three Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Associa-tion championship teams.

Both Parr and his wife, the former Kyla Flippo, are natives of Plainview, Texas. The couple are the parents of a daughter, Berkeley.

2009 FrEShMEN


2009 WTaMU SEaSON prEviEWbUFFalOES’ OFFENSEComing on the heels of one of the most successful sea-sons in WT football history, the Buffs’ 2009 offensive unit returns just three starters. The upside to this is that, , in posting a school-record 826 points a year ago, the Buffs were able to utilize a deep roster, with 18 letterwinners gaining valuable game experience up and down the roster. As a result, while the number of returning starters may be few, the pre-season depth chart is stocked with talented returnees, including 12 who have reached junior or senior status.

QUarTErbaCK

Taylor harris (6-3, 225, Jr-2L) looks to fill the void created by the departure of two-year starter and multi-record holder Keith Null. While serving in a reserve role over the past two seasons, the Whitesboro, Texas, native has completed 116-of-183 passes for 1,255 yards and 11 touchdowns, while allowing just three interceptions. He has seen action in 18 games during his career,

including two starting appearances in 2007, leading the Buffs to wins over Angelo State and Central Oklahoma. Last season, he was 33-for-55 for 298 yards and three TDs without allowing an interception. Tanner marsh (6-3, 190, Fr-RS) looks to head the list of reserves at the signal-calling position. The Lewisville, Texas, native spent the 2008 season as a redshirt after posting a stellar prep career at Lewisville’s Hebron High School. “Taylor Harris has a good chance to be the next great quarterback at West Texas A&M,” said head coach Don Carthel. “He’s waited patiently for his turn to run the offense and we have full confidence in his ability.”

rUNNiNg baCK

keithon flemming (6-0, 210, Sr-2L) looks to be one of the top running backs in the Lone Star Conference, if not all of Division II, having accounted for 3,212 all-purpose yards over the past two seasons. In 2008, he battled a broken bone in his hand with the result being that he missed all or part of four games on the offensive side

of the ball. He still accounted for 1,143 all-purpose yards, rushing for 756 yards and 13 TDs while catching 39 passes for 341 yards and one TD. Included in his rushing total were four 100+ yard rushing performances, giving him a total of 10 for his career. During the time in which his injury prevented him from being in the offensive backfield, he saw duty at safety with the Buffs’ defensive unit. Joining Flemming in the backfield will be kelvin Thompson (5-11, 200, Jr-2L). Thompson has averaged nearly five yards per carry over the past two seasons. In 2008, the Mineral Wells, Texas, native accumulated 430 all-purpose yards including rushing for 226 yards on 51 carries (an average of 4.4 yards per carry). Thompson also has one career 100-yard rushing performance. Redshirt freshman Joe Joe Jones (5-10, 185, Fr-RS) and Frankston, Texas, product ketrich harmon (6-2, 255, Fr-HS) could also see duty in the Buffs’ offensive backfield this season. “This is one of our deeper positions,” said coach Carthel. “In Keithon (Flemming) and Kelvin (Thompson), we possess one of, if not the best one-two backfield tandems in the LSC.”

2009 WTaMU SEaSON prEviEWrECEivEr

While not as star-studded as past years, the WT receiv-ing corps should again be a strong point. A.J. Ruffins (6-2, 190, Jr-2L) and Jeremy watson (5-10, 195, Fr-RS) will line up at one outside receiving position, while brittan golden (6-0, 285, So-1L) and transfer stephen burton (6-4, 215, Jr-TR) will be at the other outside slot. Ruffins grabbed 20 passes for 163 yards and four TDs last season and has 67 total receptions over his career. Golden, meanwhile, snagged 11 receptions for 92 yards in 2008 as a freshman. At inside receiver, wade Langley (5-10, 180, So-1L) and sedrick knowlton (5-10, 190, Sr-3L) provide veteran pass-catching ability. The pair combined for 110 yards on 11 catches last season. A pair of sophomores, Tyson williams (6-0, 200, So-1L) and kendrick cutsinger (6-4, 220, So-1L), are making the transition to tight end after seeing time other receiv-ing positions a year ago. “Our receivers are young, but talented,” said coach Carthel.

OFFENSivE liNE

The strength of any successful offensive unit begins with the offensive line and WT has a talented, experienced corps returning for 2009. The keystone of the line is left tackle J’marcus webb (6-8, 320, Sr-1L). A Sporting News Preseason All-America selection, Webb earned first-team all-American and all-LSC honors as a 13-game starter during his initial season with the WT program. Providing quality depth at left tackle will be Renarko cunningham (6-7, 310, Sr-1L). Cunningham has moved to the offensive line after spending the 2007 as a defensive lineman. Left guard looks to be ably manned by John ioane (6-5, 355, Sr-1L) and John mcDaniel (6-4, 305, So-SQ). Ioane made four starting appearances over 10 games at the position during the 2008 season, while McDaniel earned valuable game ex-perience, as well. The pre-season chart shows transfer isaiah Lewis (6-2, 265, Jr-TR) heading the list at center. As the only ‘non-returning’ player on the o-line depth chart, Lewis will be looking to continue a long-standing tradition of solid line play courtesy of the Mississippi juco ranks. michael Zoch (5-11, 290, So-SQ) could also see action at center, having earned his spurs last season. The right side of the line is very solid, with guards brad

mccarty (6-4, 275, Jr-2L) and Aaron mullane (6-5, 290, Fr-RS) and tackles Dan Sherwood (6-6, 290, Jr-2L) and Renarko cunningham (6-7, 310, Sr-1L). McCarty made six starting appearances last season, while Sherwood made one start while playing the season with an arm injury.

bUFFalO dEFENSEFour starters and 18 experienced letterwinners return from a defense which posted two shutouts while holding a third opponent to just one touchdown a year ago, while also ranking among national leaders in tackles for loss (24th, 8.23 per game) and quarterback sacks (32nd, 2.77 per game).

dEFENSivE liNE

The Buffs’ defensive interior will be built around a pair of solid down linemen in nose tackle marcus Rowe (6-6, 325, Sr-1L) and defensive end broderick marshall (6-3, 295, Sr-1L). A year ago, the pair split duty at nose tackle, but in 2009, opponents will find the duo lining up side-by-side. Rowe has proven ability as a stopper

2009 WTaMU SEaSON prEviEWon the defensive line, while Marshall was a first-team all-LSC selection after leading all WT down linemen in tackles. An 11-game starter a year ago, the Austin, Texas, native dropped opposing ball carriers for minus-32 yards in losses. bo campbell (6-3, 225, Fr-RS) looks to have the early edge at the other end position in WT’s 3-4 alignment. Jerry miller (6-4, 260, Jr-TR) looks to add quality depth at one end, while Rashad Sanders (6-2, 230, So-1L) will provide quality support at the other end. Backing Rowe at nose tackle will be Derrick Peoples (5-11, 260, Jr-2L). Over the past two seasons, Peoples has seen action in 19 contests while logging 27 stops. “We will be solid on the defensive front,” said coach Carthel. “Broderick Marshall and Marcus Rowe are both all-conference caliber lineman who are able to stop the run or put pressure on the quarterback.”

liNEbaCKErS

One of the deepest, most talented positions on the depth chart, the Buffaloes’ four linebacking position feature a pair of 10-game starters and six returning letterwin-ners. Leading the way is outside linebacker mark ford (6-1, 215, Sr-3L). Over the past two seasons Ford, who is the unit’s leading tackler returning, has logged a total of 75 stops. He made 10 starting appearances in 2008 and is looked upon to be an on-field leader. Ford will be backed by blake bonner (5-10, 195, Fr-RS). At the other outside position will be Zane farris (5-10, 200, So-1L). The Nazareth, Texas, native recorded 44 tackles last season and has appeared in 20 contests over the past two seasons. Battling Farris for the outside position will be Amarillo, Texas, native chris brown (6-1, 200, So-1L). He burst onto the scene as a true freshman a year ago, appearing in 13 contests and recording 15 stops, including three for lost yardage. Weakside line-backer is in the capable hands of Anthony scott (5-11, 240, Jr-2L) and Drew graham (5-11, 225, So-1L). Scott started 10 contests a year ago and is a true ‘big-play’

performer, having registered 12 TFLs over the past two seasons, while Graham showed promise early in the season before being sidelined by a hand injury. Taylor mcculler (6-2, 235, Fr-RS) heads the list of hopefuls at middle linebacker. The Red Oak, Texas, product will be pressed by kevin mccluskey (6-1, 215, So-1L). McCluskey possesses game experience earned over 11 contests a year ago. steve smith (6-2, 230, Jr-2L) and harry small (5-11, 215, Jr-SQ) should also see quality playing time at the one of the linebacking positions. “We are deep and talented at linebacker,” said coach Carthel. “Our projected starters - Mark Ford, Anthony Scott, Tay-lor McCuller and zane Farris – are all capable of being all-conference performers.”

SECONdary

This group is talented, with a mix of experience and youth. Heading the list is left corner Tae evans (6-0, 195, Jr-2L) and strong safety curtis Jefferson (6-0, 190, So-1L). Jefferson logged seven starting assign-ments over 13 games as a freshman a year ago and is the leading tackler returning for the 2009 season. He recorded 50 tackles as well as six pass breakups in his initial season. Evans, meanwhile, is ready to be a full-time starter, having made four starts over 12 games last season. maurice caldwell (5-11, 180, So-1L) provides experienced depth at cornerback, while michael bigelow (6-3, 195, Fr-RS) brings an impressive physical stature to the strong safety position. At the right cornerback slot, caleb Randolph (5-9, 180, So-1L) saw action in all 13 games a year ago, logging 24 tackles and three pass breakups. While at Fresno City College, cornerback Lawrence hood (5-11, 185, Jr-TR) recorded 10 interceptions over the past two seasons. Free safety looks to be a battle between Jordan Smith (6-0, 190, Fr-SQ) and chuck Roberts (5-11, 175, Jr-TR), who spent the 2005-07 seasons as a member of the Marshall football program. “Our secondary unit is a very talented

group of players, “said coach Carthel. “What they don’t have in starting experience, they make up for in desire and ability. I believe they will grow to become one of our better corps as the season progresses.”

SpECial TEaMS

In James chandler (5-7, 190, Sr-1L), the Buffaloes feature one of the top placekickers in the game. The London, England, native booted a WT-record 48 con-secutive PATs last season, as well as setting a school record for PATs in a season, with 77. He also enjoyed a season-long field goal of 53 yards. He will be backed by Todd Phillips (5-11, 175, Fr-RS). Transfer Tim cowdrey (6-4, 200, Jr-TR) averaged 40.4 yards over 52 punts while at Reedley (Calif.) College. He will be pressured by Amarillo, Texas, native Justin hubbert (6-2, 170, Fr-RS). Kickoff returns will be handled by Keithon Flemming (6-0, 210, Sr-2L) and caleb Randolph (5-9, 280, So-1L). Flemming is one of the nation’s outstanding all-purpose yardage backs, while Randolph has the speed to break the long return. Flemming will also field punt returns, along with kelvin Thompson (5-11, 200, Jr-2L). “So many games come down to the play of your special teams,” said coach Carthel. “We are confident that our kicking and return men are among the best there is.”

AnoTheR RecoRD-bReAking seAson foR The buffALoes.–.In posting an 11-2 overall mark in 2008, the Buffs recorded a school-record third-consecutive 11-win season, as well as the fourth-straight 10-win season (also a school benchmark). In doing so, the Buffaloes shattered many school, conference and NCAA playoff records. The season saw the Buffs begin the season ranked 10th-nationally and climb as high as as third in the AFCA poll before dropping to ninth prior to their final game.

Victories over four nationally-ranked opponents, six games scoring 50 or more points, eight of 45 or more, two home crowds in excess 18,000 fans, a total of 83,271 for all home games and 36,508 on the road adds up to over 119,000 people who saw the exciting brand of winning football played by West Texas A&M in 2008.

A great season, and one to remember.

NCaa diviSiON iiPick.a.number.of.college.sports.fans.and.ask.them.what.

it.means.to.be.an.NCAA.Division.I,.II.or.III.member ..Most.of.them.probably.will.say.that.Division.I.is.“big,”.Division.II.is.“midsize”.and.Division.III.is.“small .”.There.is.some.truth.in.the.observations,.but.what.makes.Division.II.special.has.more.to.do.with.philosophy.than.with.size .

Here.are.features.that.make.Division.II.athletics.unique:

Division.II.student-athletes.generally.come.from.the.area.in.which.their.institution.is.located ..They.are.effectively.integrated.with.the.overall.student.body ..Many.Division.II.coaches.and.administrators.perform.other.jobs.or.functions.at.their.institutions,.including.teaching ..Most.Division.II.student-athletes.pay.for.school.through.a.combination.of..scholarship.money,.grants,.student.loans.and.employment.earnings ..Teams.are.encouraged.to.play.other.teams.from.their.region,.thus.reducing.expense.and.missed.class.time .

Division.II.brings.its.“A”.game.in.the.way.it.balances.academics.and.athletics .

Division.II.provides.an.excellent.environment.for.student-athletes ..It.maintains.a.highly.inclusive.structure.for.student-athletes.in.NCAA.governance.matters:.The.annual.summit.between.the.Division.II.Student-Athlete.Advisory.Committee.and.the.Division.II.Management.Council.serves.as.a.model.for.athlete-administrator.communication ..Division.II.also.benefits.student-athletes.by.having.the.most.opportunities.per.capita.to.compete.in.national.championships .

The.number.of.national.championships.in.Division.II.is.about.the.same.as.Divisions.I.and.III ..For.2006-07,.Division.II.national.championship.competition.will.be.offered.in.the.following.sports:

National.championship.opportunities.are.comparable.to.those.in.Division.I.and.III ..Since.2003-04,.National.Champi-onship.competition.will.be.offered.in.the.following.sports

aCadEMiCSDivision.II.has.adopted.legislation.and.created.programs.

to.better.ensure.that.student-athletes.acquire.quality.educations.and.graduate .

In.January.2004,.the.Division.II.membership.approved.two.legislative.changes.that.increased.academic.require-ments.for.enrolled.student-athletes ..

The.first.change.mandated.that.Division.II.student-athletes.be.required.to.attain.a.1 .800.grade-point.average.after.earning.24.credit.hours,.a.1 .900.GPA.after.earning.48.hours.and.a.2 .000.GPA.after.earning.72.hours.and.thereaf-ter ..The.second.change.required.that.student-athletes.must.have.earned.at.least.six.credit.hours.from.the.previous.term ..That.new.rule.helped.ensure.that.transfer.student-athletes.were.legitimate.students.during.the.previous.term.and.that.enrolled.student-athletes.are.progressing.toward.a.degree.semester-by-semester ..

Division.II.also.has.initiated.a.new.measure.of.academic.performance.through.creation.of.the.Academic.Success.Rate ..The.new.measure.will.provide.graduation-rate.data.on.all.Division.II.student-athletes,.including.transfers.and.those.not.receiving.athletically.related.financial.aid ..Two.pilot.studies.using.the.new.measure.produced.a.graduation.rate.about.10.percent.higher.than.what.was.measured.through.federal.government.methodology .

Also,.at.its.April.2006.meeting,.the.Division.II.Presidents.Council.(along.with.the.Division.I.Board.of.Directors).approved.a.proposal.that.defines.the.role.of.the.NCAA.Initial-Eligibility.Clearinghouse.in.validating.the.information.on.which.the.initial.academic.eligibility.of.a.student-athlete.is.based ..The.action.was.taken.after.a.series.of.newspaper.articles.revealed.the.existence.of.“diploma.mills”.that.some.prospective.student-athletes.were.using.to.inappropriately.enhance.their.academic.records .

Division.II.also.has.established.a.Degree-Completion.Grant.Program.to.assist.student-athletes.who.are.just.short.of.completing.their.degree.but.whose.athletics.eligibility.has.expired .

Many division ii student-athletes have gone on to outstanding careers, both inside and outside athletics. That list includes the following

The.thundering.sound.of.a.buffalo.was.nothing.compared.to.the.noise.raised.in.1922.when.West.Texas.A&M.University.set.out.to.select.an.official.school.mascot .

“Thunder.VI”,.nicknamed.“Sadee”,.was.retired.and.replaced.by.“Thunder.VII”,.known.as.“Charlie,.Jr .,”.or.“C .J .,”.but.he.unexpectedly.died.in.May.of.2006 ..Shortly.thereafter,.in.June,.2006,.the.University.received.a.set.of.twins,.“Thunder.VIII.and.Thunder.Ix”,.known.as.“Jack.and.Liz .”.The.half-siblings.were.donated.to.the.University.by.Jack.and.Liz.Longbotham.of.Abilene .
