Another milestone in the growth and develop-ment of the University of Cincinnati's athletic facili-ties will occur in 2005-06 with the opening of theRichard E. Lindner Athletic Center. The eight-levelbuilding, taking form between Nippert Stadium andFifth Third Arena at Shoemaker Center, will becomethe new hub of UC's facilities complex as its locationmight suggest.

Within the building's unique architecture will pro-vide centralized administrative and coaching officesfor UC's entire intercollegiate program. Included inthe new center are:• Reception and meeting space for all programs• A museum detailing the history of the universityand athletics.• An academic services center• Easily-accessed ticket office for all events• Locker and meeting room facilities• Centralized sports medicine training/rehabilita-tion suite• Practice gymnasium• New facilities for UC's Student Health Services• A Faculty Club and Restaurant

The new athletic center will be accessed from FifthThird Arena by a below-plaza connection.

Existing recreational space in the Shoemaker Cen-ter will be rebuilt for varsity athletics. The most-noted improvement will be a new 18,000 square footstrength and condition center, doubling the size ofthe current weight room.

The Lindner Athletic Center is the crown jewel ofthe Richard E. Lindner Varsity Village, a vision for UC'sathletic complex to improve current facilities andaddress future needs in providing the support toallow Cincinnati's teams and individuals to competeamong the elite.

Mr. Lindner is president of REL Group, Inc., a GreaterCincinnati-based holding company, and is formerowner, chairman of the board and CEO of Thriftway,

Inc. He has been a long-time supporter of UC athlet-ics and his gift to this project of $10.2 million is thelargest gift from an individual to a project in schoolhistory.

Structured as part of the university's master planfor its facility improvement, Varsity Village will en-hance currently sound facilities such as Nippert Sta-dium and Fifth Third Arena at Shoemaker Center andprovide new facilities to address deficient areas.

7

The term "village" is aptly applied because theconcept is to provide ease of use and access to ser-vices similar to that of a small town.

The first phase of Varsity Village was completed inthe spring of 2004 with the opening of the new UCBaseball Stadium. Last fall, the Gettler Soccer andTrack Stadium re-opened following extensiverenovationsporting new permanent seating, a pressbox, a new FieldTurf playing surface and a standardfield size for soccer.

A new tennis center and pool complex will becreated while a new practice gym will provide stateof the art accommodations.

Varsity Village addresses the needs to attract qual-ity student-athletes to all of Cincinnati's sports pro-grams and provide an environment in which theycan succeed, academically, athletically and physi-cally.

In relation to national trends, it represents a shiftnot just to current facilities, but to the forefront ofcomprehensive integrated department planning.

The spring of 2006 will see the opening of the new UC Tennis Center as part of theRichard E. Lindner Varsity Village. The Center will feature six courts, a state-of-the-art hardcourt surface and seating for 500. Situated between Nippert Stadiumand Sheakley Lawn, the Center is accessible from Corry Street as well as the Northside of campus via the Lindner Athletic Center.

The University of Cincinnati's athletic program takes a giant leap forward thisyear when the Bearcats begin play in the BIG EAST Conference.

It brings Cincinnati's sports teams into a league which has established itself asone of the nation's elite. Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 25national championships in six different sports and 123 student-athletes have wonindividual national titles. Last year, Providence's Kim Smith won the NCAA women'scountry championship. The Notre Dame women's soccer team took the 2004national title.

BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top 33 largest media markets,including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh,Hartford, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. With the incoming members, the BIG EASTmarkets will contain almost one fourth of all television households in the U.S.

The BIG EAST has always been able to boast that some of its best students arealso some of its best athletes. More than 300 student-athletes have earnedAcademic All-America honors.

In 2003-04, three BIG EAST student-athletes were namedthe national scholar-athletes of the year in theirrespective sports - Connecticut's Emeka Okaforin men's basketball, Notre Dame's VanessaPruzinsky in women's soccer and St.John's Chris Wingert in men's soccer.

BIG EAST student-athletes alsohave continued their success af-ter leaving the classrooms andplaying fields. Former Con-necticut women’s basketballstandout Dr. Leigh Curl wasinducted into the AcademicAll-America Hall of Fame in1999. Former Georgetownmen’s basketball starDikembe Mutombo wasnamed a winner of thePresident’s Service Award,the highest honor in the U.S.for volunteer service.

The BIG EAST continues tothrive in the basketball arena. In2003-04, Connecticut became the firstschool in NCAA history to win the men’sand women’s NCAA titles in the same season.With the Syracuse men and the UConn women grab-bing NCAA crowns the previous year, the BIG EAST also be-came the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’stitles in consecutive seasons. In fact, the BIG EAST has won five of the last sixwomen’s basketball crowns and three of the last seven men’s titles.

Whether it’s the student-athletes or the league as a whole, moving proactivelyhas been a consistent strategy for the conference that was formed in 1979. The BigEast has continually turned challenges into opportunities to bolster its strength.

In the spring of 2001, the BIG EAST added women’s lacrosse to its growing listof sports. The inaugural women’s golf championship was held in the spring of2003.

The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athleticdirectors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse Universi-ties. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original sevenschool alliance.

While the membership has both increasedand changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not

wavered. The conference reflects a tradi-tion of broad based programs, led by

administrators and coaches whoplace a constant emphasis on aca-

demic integrity. The BIG EASTConference has enjoyed a lead-

ership role nationally. Its stu-dent athletes own signifi-cantly high graduation ratesand their record of scholas-tic achievement notablyshow a balance between

intercollegiate athleticsand academics.

Any successful organi-zation needs outstanding

leadership. Michael Tranghese,the league’s first full-time em-

ployee, and for 11 years the associ-ate to Dave Gavitt, moved into the

Commissioner’s chair in 1990. In hisfirst year, he administered the formation of

The BIG EAST Football Conference.The league has long been considered a leader

in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, par-ticularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted

in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student athletes. The conference has enjoyedlong-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC.

While BIG EAST basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and majorpublic arenas, including the annual BIG EAST Championship in Madison SquareGarden, attendance figures also are significant at BIG EAST soccer, women’sbasketball and baseball games.

More than 500 BIG EAST athletes have earned All America recognition anddozens have won individual NCAA national championships. The BIG EAST has beenwell represented in U.S. or foreign national and Olympic teams. Several athletesearned gold medals in each of the last five summer Olympiads.

The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence, R.I., where the conferenceadministers to more than 5,500 athletes in 23 sports.

The Bearcats’ success begins in the strength training center in Fifth Third Arena. There, modern strengthtraining facilities are combined with the latest technology to help UC student-athletes be the very best that theycan be.

In the case of tennis, that means building not just strength, but the combination of strength and power. Atraining regimen involving specific agility drills is designed to help each student-athlete improve his quicknessand mobility as well as his body awareness on the court.

Through the use of computerized programs personalized to the needs of each individual, strength isincreased while at the same time creating increases in agility, quickness, speed and power.

In the spring of 2006, the Bearcats will open an 18,000-square foot strength training facility in the newRichard E. Lindner Center. The new center will include over $1 million in Hammer Strength equipment and a five-lane running track.
