Representing DII are Chad Jackson (Armstrong Atlantic), Dennis Jezek (Barry) and Tom McGurie (Bloomsburg).

All 10 CoSIDA members of the group participated along with a number of NCAA staff, including Greg Weitekamp, Mark Bedics, Dave Worlock, Rick Nixon and J.D. Hamilton. There was healthy discussion throughout on a variety of subjects, including printed-vs-digital championship programs, how to communicate effectively with SIDs regarding championships updates, the possibility of a comprehensive website for SID championship information, and others. Will Roleson, CoSIDA's Director of Internal Operations, will serve as the Board's chair. It also was decided that the divisional reps would rotate off the group at two, three and four years from now, with new appointees then serving three-year terms. The Board plans to conduct teleconferences 3-4 times per year and as-needed for any special circumstances, as well as in-person at the CoSIDA Convention.
Strategic Branding/Marketing & PR-Based Matters
• The CoSIDA contingent that went to the NCAA Convention met with Dennis Cryder and JoJo Rinebold if Cryder/Reinbold on Jan. 11 to further discuss and review their proposal to assist CoSIDA's Board of Directors on organizational strategic branding matters. A conference call originally was held in December where Cryder/Rinebold discussed with the CoSIDA Board of Directors their perspective on CoSIDA’s progress with regard to its strategic branding initiatives over the past two years and their viewpoint for possible additional initiatives. Cryder and Rinebold both worked for the NCAA in the marketing/branding division area for a number of years and were a part of meetings in Indianapolis in April of 2010 that the CoSIDA leadership held with the NCAA about our organizational strategic branding matters and issues.
Several members of the CoSIDA contingent that was in Indianapolis (Joe Hornstein, Eric McDowell, John Humenik, Will Roleson) met on Jan, 12 with Borshoff, a strategic communications/PR/Branding firm in Indianapolis, regarding their interest in assisting CoSIDA with its strategic branding interests. On Jan. 27, the Borshoff management team made a presentation to the full CoSIDA Board of Directors on this matter.
• During the month of January, 19 CoSIDA-based stories appeared on NACDA’s Daily Review email blast. There were 21 Daily Review emails during the month. Through the Daily Review email, thousands of university and athletics administrators are exposed to professional and organizational news. This outreach primarily came about due to CoSIDA’s decision in December 2008 to become an affiliated partner within the NACDA organizational umbrella.
• Also in January, two CoSIDA-based features/stories were circulated a total of six times on the NCAA Daily News Direct email blast.
• In January, 29 articles were posted on CoSIDA.com. The CoSIDA Twitter page had 277 tweets/postings, all of them informative nature with breaking news and timely topics for athletic communication professionals.
• CoSIDA Board representative Joe Browning (UNC-Wilmington) continues to work with CoSIDA's divisional leadership to refine the proposal for the possible establishment of a “Communications Department of the Year” awards program that is modeled along the lines of NACDA’s “Athletic Directors of the Year” program. The concept, which was first discussed at the San Francisco convention in 2010 with Browning named the chair, is to have CoSIDA’s divisional leadership groups determine four regional “Communications Department of the Year” awards for each of six specific divisions (Football Bowl Subdivision, Football Championship Subdivision, NCAA Division I AAA, NCAA DII, NCAA DIII, and NAIA).
Each of those six divisional leadership groups would accept one nomination from each respective conference in those divisions, as determined by those respective conference schools. The conference would choose its nominee based on its determination of which school it believes is doing the best comprehensive job of overall excellence. The divisional boards would then choose “Communications Department of the Year” awards for each of the four regions that are established for that respective division. The divisional boards would take those respective conference nominees and then choose “Communications Department of the Year” awards for each of the four regions that are established for that respective division. This concept was discussed by Charles Bloom (SEC- Univ. Division Management Advisory Chair), John Paquette (Big East- CoSIDA Board rep) and John Humenik with all of the FBS conference PR Directors during a meeting on January 7th at the BCS National Championship Game.
Research/Survey Based News
• Clay Stoldt, Chair of the Sports Management Program at Wichita State and a former SID at that school, worked with Barb Kowal and John Humenik to complete his survey/study with our CoSIDA membership on the growing use of social media in college athletics. That survey was circulated four times via email, was posted on CoSIDA.com and circulated four times via the weekly Communications Watch email. Thanks to the hundreds of CoSIDA members who participated in the survey. Stoldt is gathering and analyzing the information and plans to present his findings at the St. Louis convention and also will provide a summary of his research to CoSIDA’s membership.
• Joe Moore, a former SID at Central Missouri who now teaches in that school’s Department of Communications, recently completed his dissertation on “Influence in the Collegiate Sports PR Community.” CoSIDA’s Board of Directors and its various leadership groups agreed to work with Moore on this project at the 2010 San Francisco Convention.
The completed project, which included interviews with CoSIDA’s Board, divisional leadership groups and participation by nearly 300 CoSIDA members, was provided by John Humenik to the CoSIDA Board of Directors and the various divisional leadership presidents/chairs on Dec. 14. Moore is preparing a survey on this topic which he will provide to athletic directors. An executive summary of the report will be produced by Moore/Humenik and provided to the CoSIDA membership in the future. Moore also plans to attend the St. Louis Convention and present his findings to the Board and to the membership at-large.
