Terry Crews (1987-90) attended Western Michigan on an Art Excellence Scholarship and earned a scholarship to play football for the Broncos.

GREG JENNINGS • GREEN BAY PACKERS
Greg Jennings (2002-05) is the all-time leader in career receptions (238), touchdowns (39) and all-purpose yards (5,050). He holds the single-season record for yards (1,259), TDs (14, twice) and receptions (98) and led the nation in receptions in 2005 with 98. He was a Biletinikoff Award semifi nalist and was named AP All-America.

He was drafted in 2006 with the 52nd over all pick by the Green Bay Packers. He appeared in 14 games, making 11 starts and compiled 45 receptions for 632 yards and three TDs en route to being named to the 2006 NFL All-Rookie Team.

TOM NÜTTEN • ST. LOUIS RAMS
Tom Nütten (1991-94) is the second of only two Broncos to ever appear in a Super Bowl, an impressive feat. Even more impres-sive is the fact that he is the lone product of Western Michigan football to ever earn a ring. Nütten’s St. Louis Rams took part in one of the most electrifying Super Bowls, defeating the Tennessee Titans, 23-16, in Super Bowl XXXIV (2000). Nütten spent his fi rst three NFL seasons with the Buffalo Bills (1995-97) before embarking on an eight-year career with the Rams (1998-2005). Nütten played 16 games for St. Louis during its championship run in 2000. He appeared in 11 games in 2002, when he made his second trip to the Super Bowl, losing to the New England Patriots, 20-17, in Super Bowl XXXVI.

JOHN OFFERDAHL • MIAMI DOLPHINS
John Offerdahl (1982-85) is possibly the most decorated player to ever come through the Western Michigan program. He spent eight seasons with the Miami Dolphins (1986-93), earning fi ve consecutive trips to the Pro Bowl in his fi rst fi ve seasons (1986-90). Offerdahl burst onto the NFL scene as a rookie with a team-leading 135 tackles (109 solo) in 1986, both career highs. He also set career marks in sacks (2.0), forced fumbles (8) and fumble recoveries (3) during his fi rst year in the league. Offerdahl ended his pro career with 655 tackles (518 solo), 9.5 sacks for a loss of 95.5 yards, four interceptions with 44 total return yards, 24 forced fumbles, eight fumble recoveries and one pass defl ection. He is WMU’s leader in career (694) and single-season (192) tackles, setting the latter mark in 1983. Offerdahl is also the all-time leader in career fumble recoveries with eight.

TONY SCHEFFLER • DENVER BRONCOS
Tony Scheffl er (2002-05) fi nished his career as the second-best tight end in terms of career receptions (117) and yards (1,345) at Western Michigan. In 2005, Scheffl er ranked third in the country among tight ends in receptions per game (5.18) and fi fth in yards per game (60.9). He also succeeded at the highest level in the classroom earning ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District IV and Academic All-MAC accolades two years in a row. Scheffl er was the 61st overall selection of the 2006 NFL Draft. The Denver Broncos chose the Chelsea, Mich., native with the organization’s second pick of the draft, making him the fi fth tight end taken that far in the draft. He appeared in 13 games with fi ve starts during his rookie campaign and fi nished the season with 18 catches for 286 yards and four touchdowns.

THIS IS THE MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCEFrom Super Bowl quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (Miami University), British Open win-ner Ben Curtis (Kent State University), World Series winning manager Bob Brenly (Ohio University) and Olympic bobsled team member Brock Kreitzburg (University of Toledo), the Mid-American Conference continues to excel in producing leaders in the world of athletics. Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country.
Under the guidance of Commissioner Rick Chryst, the seventh commissioner in the his-tory of the league, the MAC has responded to the ever-changing landscape of member-ship issues and member standards in the fast-paced environment of collegiate athletics. Dr. Carol Cartwright, former President of Kent State University, chaired the Executive Committee of the NCAA Board of Directors from 2002-2005 during a legislative process that keyed legislation relative to I-A status. In May of 2005, the MAC added Temple as a football only member (effective 2007) with a plan that includes a men’s and women’s basketball scheduling partnership with the Philadelphia-based institution.
The conference now has national leadership positions on the following NCAA commit-tees: Board of Directors (Dr. Sidney Ribeau, BGSU); Management Council (Dell Robin-son, MAC Associate Commissioner); Championships/Competition Cabinet (Brad Bates, Miami); Committee on Academic Performance (Brad Bates, Miami); Academic Eligibility Compliance Cabinet (Warde Manuel, Buffalo); and NCAA Athletic Certifi cation Commit-tee (Shonna Brown, MAC Assistant Commissioner), Playing Rules Oversight Panel (Rick Chryst, MAC Commissioner). Further, The MAC also has representation on the Division I Sport Committees and related governing groups: men’s basketball (Laing Kennedy, Kent State), baseball (Dave Heeke, Central Michigan), volleyball (Kelli Andrews, Toledo), softball (Janna Blais, BGSU), football issues committee (Mike O’Brien, Toledo), men’s basketball issues committee (Charlie Coles, Miami), men’s basketball rules committee (Reggie Witherspoon, Buffalo), track and fi eld (Rich Ceronie, Miami), women’s basketball issues committee (Jim Phillips, Northern Illinois), women’s golf (Robert Collins, Northern Illinois), women’s gymnastics (Jerry Reighard, Central Michigan) BCS AD Advisory Com-mittee (Mike O’Brien, Toledo) and BCS Presidential Oversight Committee (Dr. John Peters, NIU).
MAC MILESTONESBoth in the classroom and on the fi eld of competition, the MAC continues to excel at the national level. In an NCAA report released in October 2004, the MAC led the 11 I-A confer-ences in long term graduation rates for football student-athletes at public institutions.
In March of 2006, Chryst and Cleveland Cavaliers President Len Komoroski announced that the Mid-American Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments will re-main in Cleveland at Quicken Loans Arena through 2011. The MAC also announced a format change for both tournaments, bringing all 12 men’s and women’s teams to Cleve-land beginning in 2007. This year, the MAC will co-host the 2007 Women’s Final Four at Quicken Loans Arena, after successfully hosting the 2006 NCAA Women’s Basketball Regional at Quicken Loans Arena.
Chryst also announced a new, fi ve-year relationship with International Sports Properties (ISP), Inc. to oversee and coordinate the league’s marketing and sponsorship rights. ISP, which currently manages 29 college properties nationwide, is considered the leader in the collegiate sports marketing industry. The MAC will be ISP’s fi rst conference property.
ISP will be responsible for managing, and ultimately growing, the MAC’s stable of cor-porate partners, which currently stands at nine - FirstEnergy, Huntington Bank, Kraft, Marathon, GMAC Financial Services, MBNA, Aeropostale, Gatorade and Sirius Satellite Radio. FirstEnergy, title sponsor for the men’s tournament since its fi rst year in Cleveland in March 2000, will return as title sponsor of the 2008 event.
Another milestone that was reached in 2006 is the addition of a third bowl partner for the Mid-American Conference. The NCAA announced approval for the International Bowl, a new college football game, to be played at Rogers Centre in Toronto. The game, played in January, matches a team from the Big East Conference against an opponent from the MAC. The addition of the International Bowl gives the MAC three bowl opportunities as the league is already affi liated with the Motor City Bowl held at Ford Field in Detroit and
the GMAC Bowl staged at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Ala.
The 2007 men’s basketball tournament at Quicken Loans Arena drew a total of 33,417 spectators, including 10,253 at the Championship Game in 2007. The total attendance was the second-highest four-session total in MAC Tournament history. Three teams rep-resented the MAC in post-season action with Kent State advancing to the NCAA Tourna-ment, while Akron and Miami both participated in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT).
ESPN recently extended its television contract with the MAC through 2010. The agree-ment guarantees the league exposure for the term of the agreement on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU. ABC/ESPN owns exclusive rights to the MAC Football Championship game and ESPN/ESPN2 has those same rights to the MAC Men’s Basketball Championship.
Complementing ESPN’s national television coverage is a broad regional television pack-age in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball and selected MAC championship events. The regional network is anchored by long-term agreements with FSN Ohio and Comcast Local in Michigan and Indiana. Comcast Chicago has also been an outstanding partner in raising the MAC’s profi le in the nation’s third-largest market.
HISTORY OF THE MACBased in Cleveland since July 1999 following a 15-year stay in Toledo, Ohio, the MAC has established historic measurements in both football and men’s and women’s basketball since its move to Northeast Ohio.
The Mid-American Conference was founded as a fi ve-school league on February 24, 1946 in Columbus, Ohio with Ohio, Butler, Cincinnati, Wayne State and Western Reserve admit-ted as charter members.
The Mid-American Conference has 12 full-time schools and a 13th, Temple, for football only. Comprising the East Division is the University of Akron (joined in 1992), Bowling Green State University (1952), University at Buffalo (1998), Kent State University (1951), Miami University (1947) and Ohio University (1946). The West Division members are Ball State University (1973), Central Michigan University (1971), Eastern Michigan University (1971), Northern Illinois University (1975-86, 1997), University of Toledo (1950) and Western Michigan University (1947). Affi liate members include Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) in men’s tennis and men’s soccer and Missouri State Uni-versity (formerly known as SMS) in fi eld hockey.
In 1946 men’s basketball was the fi rst competitive sport in the MAC, which now spon-sors a total of 23 sports. Women’s sports were brought into the conference’s structure in 1980.
For men, championships (11) are sponsored in football, basketball, baseball, cross coun-try, soccer, swimming and diving, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track and fi eld, wrestling, golf and tennis. For women, championships (12) are sponsored in basketball, softball, volleyball, cross country, fi eld hockey, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, gymnastics, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track and tennis.
