THE METRO ATLANTIC ATHLETIC CONFERENCE

Championship Regional at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, N.J., after recording the third highest attendance figure for the women’s championship with the First and Second Rounds in 2006. NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Regional at Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, CT. Rider and the MAAC paired up to host the 2012 NCAA Rowing Championships at Lake Mercer in West Windsor, New Jersey, 2011 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, the 2009 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship Regional, and the 2006 NCAA Division Women’s Basketball Championship First and Second Rounds at the Sun National Bank Center in Trenton, NJ. In June of 1995, the MAAC developed new opportunities for student-athletes as the conference announced the formation of the MAAC Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse Leagues. The men’s league began competition in the spring of 1996, while the women’s league commenced in the spring of 1997. Since their inception as associate sports leagues, both men’s and women’s lacrosse have been upgraded to full MAAC sports. The men’s league currently consists of six MAAC schools - Canisius, Manhattan, Marist, Monmouth, Quinnipiac and Siena - and one associate member – the University of Detroit Mercy. The women’s league features competition among nine MAAC institutions - Canisius, Fairfield, Iona, Manhattan, Marist, Monmouth, Niagara, Quinnipiac and Siena. In the spring of 2014, the MAAC expanded the championship field to six teams in men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball, women’s lacrosse, softball, and baseball. Additionally, the MAAC membership agreed that the highest seeded team should generally host the MAAC championship.

With 11 institutions strongly bound by the sound principles of quality and integrity in academics and excellence in athletics, the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference is celebrating its 35th year of competition during the 2015-2016 academic year. The MAAC was founded in 1980 by six charter members: the U.S. Military Academy, Fairfield University, Fordham University, Iona College, Manhattan College and Saint Peter’s College. Competition followed one year later in the fall of 1981 with members competing in the sports of men’s cross country and men’s soccer. On January 2, 1982, Army traveled to Iona for the first MAAC men’s basketball game and the MAAC story had begun. Current Conference members include: Canisius College, Fairfield University, Iona College, Manhattan College, Marist College, Monmouth University, Niagara University, Quinnipiac University, Rider University, Saint Peter’s University, and Siena College. In addition, associate members include the University of Detroit Mercy in men’s lacrosse and Jacksonville University in men’s rowing; St. Francis (N.Y.) College, Villanova University, Virginia Military Institute and Wagner College are all associate members in Women’s Water Polo. Drake University, Jacksonville University, Robert Morris University, Sacred Heart University, and Stetson University compete in women’s rowing, while the University at Albany, University of Dayton, and the University of Hartford take part in women’s golf competition. Bryant University, and Sacred Heart University compete in field hockey, while Bryant University is a member in men’s swimming & diving. The MAAC will support 25 sports and championships during the 2015-2016 academic year; in addition, the MAAC champion earns automatic qualification to the NCAA Championship in 16 sports. The MAAC Basketball Championships return to the Times Union Center inAlbany, NY for its second year of a three-year agreement. The 2016 MAAC Basketball Championships will mark the 17th time that Albany has hosted the championships, more than any other site. By having an excellent working relationship with various facilities, the MAAC has been able to attract a number of NCAA Championship events. Most recently, the MAAC along with Siena College successfully hosted the 2015 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball East Regional at the Times Union Center, which was the highest selling site amongst all four regionals. In 2014, the MAAC, Canisius College and Niagara University successfully hosted the 2014 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Second and Third Rounds at the First Niagara Center in Buffalo, NY, marking the fourth time that all three parties partnered for this same event (2004, 2007, and 2010). The MAAC and Fairfield University hosted the 2013 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Regional at Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, CT. The MAAC and Rider University hosted the 2012 NCAA Rowing Championships at Lake Mercer in West Windsor, New Jersey and also co-hosted the 2011 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

For the first time in league history, an associate member was added in men’s swimming & diving when Bryant University joined the league in the summer of 2012. InApril of 2013 the MAAC added field hockey as a sponsored sport with competition beginning in the fall of the 2013-14 academic year between four member institutions – Monmouth University, Quinnipiac University, Rider University and Siena College. In June of 2013 the MAAC added associate members to the Field Hockey League - Bryant University and Sacred Heart University, bringing the MAAC to six teams for 2014. Most recently, MAAC member Fairfield University joined the league for the 2015-16 academic year. In the winter of 2015, LIU Brooklyn joined the league and is set to begin competition in the fall of 2016-17 Academics and Athletics The MAAC prides itself on the accomplishments of its student- athletes in the classroom, as well as on the field. Mary Beth Riley, a 1991 graduate of Canisius, was the first recipient of the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. In the fall of 1998, Erin Whalen, a member of the Iona women’s rowing team, was awarded one of the nation’s 32 Rhodes Scholarships for academic achievement and civic leadership. In 2015, all eleven Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference schools had at least one team that posted multi-year APR’s in the top 10% of all squads in each sport, with Fairfield, Siena, Canisius and Niagara having 6, 6, 5, and 4 teams respectively in the top 10% in each sport. Monmouth’s women’s tennis team is one of 129 teams that have earned Public Recognition Awards each of the 10 years they have been awarded. First-class facilities are the rule with MAAC schools, as teams regularly play in top-notch arenas, such as Madison Square Garden, the Barclays Center, the MassMutual Center, the IZOD Center, First Niagara Center, Times Union Center, the Webster Bank Arena, Mohegan Sun Arena, and the Sun National Bank Center. This year, the MAAC will take the men’s soccer championship to Orlando, Florida at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The 2016 MAAC Men’s and Women’s Golf Championships will be held at Disney’s Palm Golf Course. In the past several years, a number of the MAAC schools have also enjoyed success in NCAA Basketball Championships. MAAC schools have played in a total of 85 NIT games and 83 NCAA games. In 2015, Siena College’s women’s basketball team became the first MAAC women’s basketball program to make it to a postseason championship game. The Saints advanced all

the way to the title contest of the Women’s Basketball Invitational (WBI) where Siena fell to Louisiana-Lafayette. In 2014, Siena men’s basketball team claimed the league’s first basketball postseason title in its history by winning the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) title. In 2013, the MAAC had a record 6 men basketball programs participate in postseason play- Iona (NCAA Championship), Niagara (NIT), Canisius, Fairfield, Loyola, and Rider (CIT). Canisius and Loyola both advanced to theQuarterfinal round, while Rider reached the second round. In 2012, the MAAC had two teams advance to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship for the first time in 16 years, with Loyola earning the league’s automatic bid and Iona garnering an at-large bid. In 2007, the Marist women’s basketball team advanced to the Sweet 16 before falling to the eventual National Champion, the University of Tennessee. The Red Foxes have recorded an additional five NCAA wins since their run in 2007. The MAAC has also been a leader in the forefront of technology, expanding the notoriety of the league into cyberspace. In 2007, the league reached an agreement with JumpTV, Inc., now NeuLion, Inc., to design and host the MAAC web page. MAACSports.com has been a great success, providing fans with up-to-date contest results, live and on-demand video and an online merchandise store. The MAAC, in conjunction with NeuLion, launched an iPhone app in February 2011, followed by Android and iPad apps that were released during the 2011-12 academic year. In September 2011, the conference announced the launch of MAAC.TV, the league’s first broadband network. Eight schools - Canisius, Fairfield, Iona, Manhattan, Marist, Monmouth, Rider, and Saint Peter’s - are currently part of the network, which broadcast over 400 live events in 2014-15. In May 2014, the MAAC continued to grow its partnership with ESPN3 announcing the launch of the MAAC Branded ESPN3 Channel. All MAAC and school produced ESPN3 broadcasts are viewable as live or archived contents for all MAAC sports. During the 2014-15 season, the MAAC schools of Fairfield, Monmouth, Rider, and Siena broadcasted a total 49 combined school produced broadcasts. Canisius and Iona will begin school produced broadcasts along with the other four schools in 2015- 16. The initiative increases the MAAC’s long-term partnership with ESPN and is concurrent with the development of school based production facilities on many of the conference’s member campuses. The MAAC President for the 2015-2016 academic year is John J. Hurley, the President of Canisius College. The Vice-President is Brennan O’Donnell, the President of Manhattan College.

COMMISSIONER RICHARD J. ENSOR, ESQ.

RichardJ. Ensorwasnamed the thirdCommissioner of theMetro Atlantic Athletic Conference in August 1988. In the 28 years since his appointment, Ensor has provided leadership to the conference in a period of transition and growth in intercollegiate athletics and the MAAC. During his tenure the MAAC has secured a stable membership base, expanded the number of championships conducted and developed an extensive marketing program cemented with broadcast agreements with ESPN, a web paged

for the first time in the history of the conference. (Up from 13 sports and two automatic bids in 1988.) To award its fans, arena partners and membership, the MAAC during Ensor’s tenure has been very aggressive in seeking out opportunities to host NCAA Championships in various sports. With member schools it has served as a co-host of the 1995, 2000, 2004, 2007, 2010 and 2014 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament First and Second Rounds at the Times Union Center and the First Niagara Center (again the host for the 2016 1st and 2nd rounds), respectively, and the 2003 NCAA Men’s Basketball East Regional at the Albany, NY arena and the 2003 NCAA Men’s Frozen Four at the Buffalo venue.

In 2002, the MAAC was a co-host of the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championship at the Times Union Center, and it repeated as host in 2011 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. All the NCAA men’s championships the MAAC has hosted with its arena partners have been sellouts. The MAAC co-hosted the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament First and Second Rounds at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, NJ in 2006 and then hosted the Trenton Regional at the same site in 2009. The MAAC has since co-hosted the NCAA Women’s Basketball Regional twice.

The marketing efforts have been timely, as it has highlighted the conference’s continued rise in the basketball standings. Ensor has aggressively pushed the MAAC into internet-based marketing through its award winning web page, www.maacsports.com, and other technology driven initiatives such as the league’s MAAC.TV. In 2014 the MAAC announced a new sponsorship representation agreement with ANC Sports Enterprises, LLCwhich isan industry leader in teamandvenueservices, providing integrated signage, design, and marketing solutions for sports and commercial facilities.

Ensor is a past member of the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee and past president of the Collegiate Commissioners Association (CCA). He serves on the boards of the Sports Lawyers Association, WBCA, Philadelphia Sports Congress, NCAA MBOLLC and NACDA’s IAAA ADs. In 2015 he began a four- year term on the NCAA DI Nominating Committee. Under Ensor’s direction, the MAAC has focused efforts to showcase its member institutions in its annual men’s and women’s basketball tournament. Since 1990 with the support of the MAAC Council of Presidents and the league’s athletic administrators and coaches the MAAC has held its premier event in state of the art playing facilities such as the Times Union Center in Albany, NY, the Frist Niagara Center in Buffalo, NY, the Sun National Bank Center (Trenton, NJ) and the Webster BankArena in Bridgeport, CT.

THE MAAC AND THE WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT ESPN WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS PARTNERSHIP

The MAAC will support 25 sports and championships during the 2014-15 academic year, which almost all have NCAA Championship Access through automatic bids or regional qualifying systems. Highlighting the MAAC’s commitment to providing a first rate experience for its fans and student-athletes are those championships held at the Walt Disney World Resort ESPN Wide World of Sports. The 2014-15 academic year represents the MAAC’s 16th year of hosting championships at the complex where the league hosts 3 events each year, which include one fall championship with all 11 member schools participating. The sports that rotate include men’s soccer, men’s & women’s cross country, women’s soccer, and volleyball. In the fall of 2014, volleyball returned to the complex for its championship, with Siena College coming out on top. The championship operation at Disney allows the MAAC to provide its participating student-athletes and their families and fans a world-class sports championship experience. The access to the playing facilities, on-site hotels, theme parks, including an after-hours awards banquet, are designed to provide lasting memories as the students graduate and become alumni of the league and its member schools. The MAAC recently approved a new events agreement with Disney for 2015-18, which includes ESPN broadcasting elements for all the championships. ESPN’s state-of-the-art studios broadcast highlights of MAAC on-site tournaments throughout all Disney World Resort hotel properties as well as on ESPN3 and MAAC.TV. All MAAC contests for Volleyball, Men’s and Women’s Soccer, Men’s and Women’s Cross Country, and Men’s and Women’s Golf are broadcast by ESPN’s on-site studios. This year’s volleyball championship had its final championship game, semi-finals and two of the quarterfinal games broadcast on ESPN3 to a national audience available for viewing in 86 million homes on high speed internet networks. The MAAC has also co-hosted with ESPN since 2006 the Orlando Classic at the ESPNWWS complex. This 8-team tournament is held over Thanksgiving weekend continues to draw elite men’s basketball teams to compete. One MAAC school is included in the field each year and this Thanksgiving Siena College will compete in this premier event. The MAAC also hosts its Men’s & Women’s Golf Championships at the Disney complex. The men’s and women’s golf teams compete at PGA-caliber courses during the spring and rotate between Palm and Magnolia (2015) at the Arnold Palmer

managed courses. The golf hosting agreement at Disney was recently extended through 2018 championships. As noted before, ESPN studios in Orlando is an important element of MAAC broadcasting efforts. It also serves as the production site for the annual MAAC Pre-Season Coaches Show and develops in-season features, commercials and promotional elements for the MAAC ESPN broadcasts and for MAAC.TV. During the 2012-13 season, both the Cross Country and Golf Championships saw live coverage on ESPN3 for the first time in MAAC history because of the valuable partnership between the MAAC and the Walt Disney World Resort. Also shot on site is the annual MAAC SAAC Forum where student-athlete leaders from all MAAC schools participate on a live issues forum on ESPN3 form the sports complex. The partnership will again grow in 2014 when the MAAC and Disney added a dedicated academic element to the mix of the valuable assets from this relationship. The Disney Internship Program is world-renowned for providing valuable training to entry level sports administrators. As part of the extended MAAC/ Disney hosting agreement, the MAAC office will be able to select three recent graduate level students in sports management or related fields to work on the Disney Sports Team. The Disney Sports Internship program provides graduate students the perfect opportunity to gain experience in a variety of disciplines while learning from the best of the best. Disney Sports Attractions will immerse students in major brands such as run Disney and ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World® Resort.
