ABSTRACT:

The University Athletics collection consists of materials produced by the Minnesota StateUniversity athletics programs and the university's predecessor institutions since 1925.Included are documents concerning the men's and women's athletics programs, anddiscussion over combining the two programs. The collection includes sports schedules,office correspondence, and official athletic organizational policies. The majority of thiscollection dates from the late 1970s and early 1980s.

fflSTORICAL NOTE:

Intercollegiate athletics at MSU have evolved over the years to its current structure. Thesports, activities, and changes have been affected by coaches, faculty, athletic directors,and national athletic associations.

Athletics at MSU began in the 1890s with inter-institutional competition in football andbaseball for men. In 1928, homecoming was celebrated with a football game. Ice hockeywas approved as a college sport in 1939, though it was later canceled. During the SecondWorld War, football and hockey were suspended for lack of athletes, coaches andfinances. In 1967, the men's intercollegiate athletic program consisted of ten total sports.The Mankato Normal School catalogs for the year 1900-1907 state that basketball andindoor baseball were provided for women, in the form of modem-day intramurals.Volleyball for women was added inl917. Inl921 women played soccer games againstoutside teams. The first intercollegiate sport for women was bowling, which started in1964. Swimming, gymnastics, and track and field were started in 1965.

Women's athletics grew out of the intramural sports program operated by the Women'sPhysical Education Department. The women's department maintained ties with othercolleges through state and national professional organizations, one of which was theMinnesota Extra-mural Sports Association for College Women. That organization gavethe framework for women's intercollegiate athletics.

Prior to the 1970s, faculty from the Women's Physical Education Department managedwomen's sports programs. Georgene Brock served as a coach and women's athleticsdirector from 1964 to 1998. Ruth Schellberg, chairperson of the women's physicaleducation department for 22 years until her retirement in 1974, guided the women'sprogram from intra-mural to full intercollegiate status.

Roy B. Moore had been the athletic director from 1952-1964. The men's athletic programhad its own athletic director. Two long-time Men's Athletic Directors were Roy B.Moore from 1952-1964 and James Robert Otto, who served 1970 until 1983.

The federal enactment of Title IX in 1972 changed sports at MSU. It required that publicinstitutions receiving funds from the federal government to give equal opportunity to allstudents attending the institution. Support for women's athletics had to approach that ofmen's athletics budgets, facilities, scholarships, and personnel. In 1974 the men's andwomen's athletic programs were merged.

The university changed its athletic conference affiliation several times over the years. In1967 MSU was part of the Northern Intercollegiate Conference (NIC) as well as theNational Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the National CollegiateAthletic Association (NCAA). In 1968 MSU was accepted to the North CentralConference (NCC) in order to resolve schedule, fmancial, and other problems. Allmembers of the NCC were part of the NCAA.

From 1935 to 1971, the mascot and logo of MSU were the "Indians," in recognition ofearly people who inhabited the area of what today is Mankato. In 1971 the logo wasdropped, and in 1977 the new mascot and logo became thdMSU "Mavericks."

In 2004, the Men's and Women's Athletics each included 10 sports. For Men's Athletics,fall sports are golf, football, and cross country. Winter sports include: indoor track andfield, basketball, hockey, wrestling and swimming. Spring sports are: baseball, golf,tennis, and outdoor track and field. Women's fall sports include volleyball, soccer, golf,and cross country. Winter sports are: swimming, basketball, hockey, and indoor track andfield. Spring sports are Softball, tennis, golf and outdoor track and field.
