    THE OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCETHE OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCENow in its 65th year, the Ohio Valley Conference contin-ues to build on the success that has made it the nations eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. In May 2011 the Conference expanded for the second time in four years, adding Belmont University which begins competition in the 2012-13 academic year. The addition of Belmont gives the OVC 12 members, the most the league has had at one time in its illustrious history. The move added a second team in the city of Nashville and was the first addition to the league since Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined in 2008.

    The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commis-sioner in league history on July 28, 2009. She is currently one of just five females to be the head of a Division I con-ference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I confer-ence all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences.

    The OVCs proud history dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles Turkey Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations direc-tor at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions com-bined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC.

    In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletical-ly-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic op-portunities to African-Americans.

    In 2008, former Tennessee State standout Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie became just the fourth NFL First Round draft pick in OVC history when he was selected 16th overall by the Arizona Cardinals. He would break into the starting lineup halfway through his rookie season and started at cornerback for the Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. The OVC has had at least one former player named a NFL Pro Bowl selection in four of the past six seasons.

    The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soc-cer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined mens and womens sport of rifle. Now in its seventh decade of competition, the Ohio Val-ley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics op-portunities it provides for students. Current league rep-resentatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Bel-mont University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

    BRENTWOOD, Tenn. The Ohio Valley Conference has launched the OVC Digital Network (www.OVCDigitalNetwork.com), the new and improved home for live streaming of athle c contests involving OVC member ins tu ons.

    The Conference is entering its seventh year of web streaming ath-le c contests, and this investment in improved quality, rebranding and launch of the Digital Network coincides with the OVCs part-nership with SIDEARM Sports (SAS), which debuted the new OVCS-ports.com in July and is the host of the OVC Digital Network.

    One of the top new features of the Digital Network is that all events will be o ered free for fans, as opposed to the pay model used in the past. The events will also feature improved quality with most events streaming in high defi ni on (HD). Fans will also have easier access to the streams, easily accessing them through links at OVC-DigitalNetwork.com without any registra on being required.

    The streams will be available on any computer, tablet or smart phone without any app or so ware download thanks to the use of HTML5 technology. The portal also includes live stats and social media integra on to give fans even more interac on.

    The streaming e orts will concentrate on football and mens and wom-ens basketball in the fi rst year, with all home non-conference and con-ference contests featuring OVC schools in those sports airing on the pla orm. The OVC Digital Network will also stream select OVC Champi-onships, various other sports (soccer, volleyball, baseball and so ball) and other ancillary programming throughout the season.

    Founded in 1912, Tennessee State University has grown dramatically from a small college to two campuses: the 500-acre main campus and the downtown Avon Williams campus which is located in the heart of Nashville near the State capitol.

    The diverse student population of more than 9,000 represents 46 states and 45 countries. TSU has been listed for 11 consecutive years in the U.S. News & World Report Guide to Americas Best Colleges.

    Tennessee State University is a comprehensive, urban, coeducational land-grant university offering 45 bachelor degrees and 24 masters degrees. Doctoral programs include biological sciences, psychology, public administration, computer information systems engineering, administration and supervision, and curriculum and instruction. When you think about Tennessee State University, many things come to mind a rich heritage and legacy in athletics, academ-ics, entertainment, research and service.

    Tennessee State University has long been a rising star among universities across the country. It is designated as one of the best public historically black colleges and universities in the nation, and its not by accident.

    Tennessee State University is among the few historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) with a chapter of Phi Eta Sigma, the oldest and largest freshman honor society in the United States and a Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society, the most prestigious honor society comprising all academic disciplines.

    A great deal of focus has been given to improving the academic environment strengthening our research reputa-tion, attracting and retaining the best and brightest students, encouraging service-focused programs, engaging and supporting expert faculty in diverse fi elds, building on our student-centered philosophy and holding steadfast to our motto of Think. Work. Serve.

    Today, Tennessee State Universitys stu-dent enrollment is more than 8,000.

    There are more than 400 faculty and more than 1,200 staff who are part of the univer-sitys team.

    Additionally, the universitys rich strength in embracing diversity is evident with 45 countries and 46 states representative of the student body.

    The beauty and accessibility of the univer-sitys main campus is a plus with now 65 buildings on more than 450 acres.

    Complimenting the main campus is a new-ly renovated downtown campus that fea-tures a simulated stock-trading center, a student computer laboratory and continu-ing education, distance learning and multi-media services.

    The university is arming students with the intellectual resources to compete in a glob-al environment. In support of that, impor-tant partnerships have been established with leading global companies such as Boeing, Raytheon, Dell, IBM and others, in which both funding and service-learning opportunities are currently active.

    KEAN HALL, a simplifi ed Art Deco style gymnasium erected in 1951 at a cost of $1,500,000 was dedicated Wednesday, November 25, 1953.

    The structure is located on the south side of the campus at John Merritt Boulevard and 33rd Avenue, North and is named after former TSU Football head coach and Athletic Director, Henry A. Kean.

    The building contained at the time of its construction a gymnasium, health, physical education and recreation classrooms, laboratories, staff offi ces, and facilities for indoor intramural sports, staff and student recreation and physical therapy. The building was vacated in 1980 when the HPER moved to the new Gentry Center Com-plex.

    The 300,000 renovation approved in 1986-1987 con-nected the building to the Floyd-Payne campus center in 1991. The building became a recreational facility for the general campus population. It also serves as the headquarters for the Air Force ROTC, TSU Athletics and the academic and Hall of Fame.

    The PERFORMING ARTS CENTER is located adjacent to the east side of the existing Strange Music Building. The facility houses the Theater, Television, Radio and Music Departments and includes a complete renovation of the Strange Music Building.

    A performance theater seating for 400 was constructed as part of the new build-ing. Theater department spaces include classrooms, support spaces and offi ces. Re-hearsal and production facilities are provided for television and radio departments, as well as offi ces and support areas.

    The music department has new laboratory facilities, practice rooms, classrooms and offi ces and an expanded band practice room and support facilities. The project in-cluded approximately 30,400 sq. ft. of renovated space (the Strange Music Building) and 43,000 sq. ft. of new construction.

    The DAVIS BUILDING is topped by its landmark cupola and houses the Department of Languages, Literature and Philosophy and the Thomas E. Poag Auditorium. The building, which once housed the administrative offi ces, is named after TSUs second president Dr. Walter S. Davis.

    The FLOYD-PAYNE CAMPUS CENTER contains various student and administrative offi ces, campus bookstore, post offi ce, and dining ser-vices. The Center is named after former TSU student and fi fth president, Otis L. Floyd, and long-time Dean of Students and Vice-President of Student Affairs, Joseph A. Payne.

    The AVERITTE AMPHITHEATER located in the center of campus; landscaped and has permanent seating for 200. The structure is named after Laura M. Averitte, author of Tennessee State Universitys alma mater.

    The BROWN-DANIEL LIBRARY was erected in 1976 and opened for service during the summer of 1977.

    This present structure has 82,000 square feet of space with special study and research facilities for faculty and gradu-ate students, and a Special Collections Room which houses the Universitys historical archives, theses, dissertations, and other special materials.

    Dr. Portia Shields was appointed to the presi-dency of Tennessee State University effective January 2, 2011 the fi rst female to assume the role of President in the history of the institution.

    Shields assumed the executive post at Albany State University in 1996, becoming its fi rst fe-male president and retiring in 2005 after serving in the capacity for eight years.

    As the seventh president of the university, Shields inherited a campus recovering from the destructive fl ood waters of the Flint River, which had consumed nearly two-thirds of the 204-acre campus in 1994.

    Her leadership was critical to the universitys comeback, as she spearheaded a $153 million rebuilding program that revitalized the institution. Perhaps her most notable achievement was the success in raising funds and external support for the University.

    She was instrumental in securing an unprec-edented $3-million donation from Georgia-born performing artist Ray Charles in 2002, and pro-cured more than $25 million in external grant funds in the following academic year.

    Prior to her leadership at Albany State, Shields served as Dean of the School of Education, Howard University, Washington, D.C. where she initiated the Universitys fi rst comprehensive ear-ly learning and pre-college preparation program in health science.

    She previously served as director of medical ed-ucation and biomedical communications in the Universitys College of Medicine where she led the design and build of state-of-the-art science and technology labs and enhanced the academ-ic performance of medical students.

    Most recently, Shields served as chief executive offi cer and chief academic offi cer of Concordia College in Selma, Ala., from November 2007 to December 2009.

    At Concordia, she improved academic programs and institutional effectiveness, raised campus academic standards and enhanced the colleges fi nancial operations.

    Shields also helped Concordia address accreditation concerns. The Southern As-sociation of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) initially placed Concordia on probation for issues concerning 17 different requirements and standards. In its most recent report, SACSCOC cited only two issues remaining for the college to address.

    Shields has wide range of stellar experiences and accomplishments in the fi eld of higher education with appointments and affi liations with the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, National Association for Equal Opportunity In High-er Education, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Inc., American Council on Education, Association of American Colleges and Universities, and Communities in Schools of Georgia. Additional memberships include Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., National Council of Negro Women, and Phi Delta Kappa Honor Society.

    She is a published author and a well-known public speaker. She has conducted and participated in more than 100 workshops and seminars on higher education issues, teacher education issues, medical and health-care concerns, educational policy is-sues, international education and faculty development, academic collaborations, re-tention and high-stakes testing. She served as editor of and contributed two articles to Refl ections on Albany State University and contributed to more than 70 publica-tions focused on current issues in higher education, including USA Today (March 21, 2002) and Newsday (March 10, 2002).

    Other selected collaborative and independent works include contributions to the publication of a reference book entitled Tests and Teaching Quality, a report of the Committee on Assessment and Teacher Quality of the National Research Council, and collaborative and independent publications focusing on higher education admin-istration, medical and health concerns, administrative issues at HBCUs, professional development schools, education, and parenting and teacher education. Authored chapter entitled, An African American Womans Presidency at a Historically Black University: A Personal Journey, with other University presidents (publication in pro-cess).

    Shields received her primary, secondary and college education in her native home, Washington, D.C. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Education from the District of Columbia Teachers College, one of three institutions later merged to form the University of the District of Columbia.

    She earned a Master of Arts degree in Education from George Washington Univer-sity, Washington, D.C., and the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from the University of Maryland at College Park.

    She pursued advanced study completing a post-doctoral fellowship to study in West Africa, awarded by the African American Institute, New York, New York.

    Additional scholarly research and studies were completed at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts; Columbia University, New York, New York; American University, Washington, D.C.; and University of the District of Columbia.

    Named in 2004 as one of Georgias 50 Most Infl uential Women by the Georgia In-former, Shields is distinguished as one of the founding presidents of the American University of Ethiopia and a member of the Board of Directors of the National Asso-ciation for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education.

    In being named OVC Coach of the Year eight mes, he also directed EKU to fi ve OVC regular season championships. He also led the Lady Colonels to the 2002 WNIT Sweet Sixteen. He is the all- me winningest coach in Ohio Valley Conference womens basketball history with his record of 480-317.

    Inman announced his re rement from Eastern Kentucky in April 2008. Prior to his re rement, Inman was the 27th winningest ac ve coach in NCAA Division I.

    Coach Inman brings a wealth of knowledge and success in womens basketball, said Phillips. We know what he can do and expect to see posi ve changes immediately. Also, he knows the area, he knows the conference and he knows TSU. He will hit the ground running.

    The Galla n, Tenn., na ve began his collegiate coaching career at Middle Tennessee State, an OVC member un l 2000. In eight years at the Murfreesboro, Tenn., school, Inman won more than 68 percent of his games, was named OVC Coach of the Year three mes, led MTSU to six OVC regular-season championships and won four tournament tles. In his last four seasons on the Blue Raiders bench, he led the program to four straight OVC regular season and tournament championships and four straight NCAA tournament appearances.

    He compiled an overall record of 161-73 at Middle Tennessee. Inman went 73-12 in OVC games, los-ing only four conference games his fi nal fi ve seasons.

    Im extremely excited about this opportunity at TSU, commented Inman. Im looking forward to building a program that the university, community, fans and TSU family will be proud of.

    When Inman accepted the head coaching posi on at EKU, prior to the 1988-89 season, the program had only posted a winning conference record twice in the 11-year history of the OVC. A er pos ng a 6-6 record in league games his second season, Inman led Eastern to winning conference records in 12 of the next 14 seasons.

    Three years into his tenure, Inman became the fi rst coach to earn the OVC Coach of the Year award at two di erent schools. He took home the honor in 1991 a er leading Eastern Kentucky to its fi rst winning season in six years.

    Inman led the Lady Colonels to their fi rst conference championship in 1995 and won his second OVC Coach of the Year award. The team won 19 games and ed with three other OVC schools for the league tle. Two years later, EKU won its fi rst outright OVC regular-season championship and, in the process, established a league record for conference victories with 16, while also se ng a program mark with 24 overall wins.
