Ramsey Took Amazing Journey
To The Major Leagues
Mark Acre (left) went 9-6 in 114 appearances
for the Oakland A’s from 1994-97. Fernando
Ramsey (below-left) had three hits for the
Chicago Cubs in 1992. Jason Rakers (below-right) pitched for the Cleveland Indians
in 1998 and 1999 and earned his first two big
league victories for the Kansas City Royals in
2000.
Not many people can say they took four
years off from competitive baseball and still
made it to the major leagues, but that’s just
what Fernando Ramsey did.
Ramsey competed at New Mexico State,
but not in baseball. He was a star sprinter for
the NMSU men’s track and field team. He
set school records in the 100 and 200-meter dashes. He also competed in the 1984
Olympic Games on the Panamanan Olympic
Team. He hadn’t played organized basebal
since 1983 as a member of the Panamanian National Team, yet he
was drafted on June 4, 1987 in the 33rd round by the Chicago Cubs.
He was called up to the major leagues on September 2, 1992.

Dr. Michael V. Martin became president of New Mexico State University on July
1, 2004.
Dr. Martin is an academic leader
dedicated to the land-grant mission of teaching, research and extension service. In his
three years at NMSU, he has established
the One University concept and called for a
five-year plan titled “Living the Vision.” He
also laid the groundwork for universitywide
extension and created the J. Paul Taylor
Social Justice Symposium. Dr. Martin is a
recognized leader in the state, being named
a powerbroker by the New Mexico Business
Weekly in 2006. He continues to be active as
a scholar and has written numerous book chapters and articles for
academic journals, trade publications and the popular press. He
recently has published pieces
for The Chronicle of Higher Education and University Business.

to all the people remain powerful and profound.”

The A+ Aggie Program teaches and promotes lifelong educational, personal and career skills for student-athletes. Personalized
attention is given to each student through a collaboration of individuals and services (Athletic Advisors, Student Development Specialist, Academic Mentors, Tutors, and Learning Specialist.)
Program Goals:
• Provide assistance, advice, teaching, and encouragement in both specific content areas and in general study skills.
• Develop thinking and homework skills so that students will progress and advance beyond the need to be mentored.
Who are the A+ Aggies?
The A+ Aggie Program is for all student-athletes. However, its primary focus is for student-athletes who need additional support and programs for their
academic, personal and career development. All student-athletes are welcome to receive services provided by the A+ Aggie Program, but priority is

• Each participant will be identified by the Learning Specialist, Athletic Advisor, Coach, and or Assistant Athletic Director for Academic Services.
• Participants can also be referred to the program based on their educational background, academic success, or those who have special needs or
accommodations for specific learning or physical abilities.
• With the help of tutors, mentors and graduate assistants, accommodation will be provided for all student-athletes enrolled in the program by working together to set-up specific tutoring; weekly academic mentoring for general study skills; mandatory study hall hours; to provide an individualized
program to meet the desired academic and personal development goals.
• Student-Athletes in the A+ Aggie Program may be screened for academic strengths and weaknesses so we can arrange detailed services and
programs to meet individual needs and learning styles.
• Progress in the program will be closely monitored through communication with professors, coaches, athletic advisors, and reports from tutors and
mentors.
Study Table: Student-athletes are required to complete 8 hours of study each week in the Aggie Academic Support Programs & Services Center. Study hours are required for all incoming freshman, transfer students, and returning student-athletes with less than a 2.5 cumulative grade point average.

fall semester or achieve a cumulative grade point average of at least a 3.0 through the 2006 fall semester.
WESTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE
In its 46th year, the Western Athletic Conference continues to evolve and features some of the
nation’s best intercollegiate competition. One thing that remains unchanged is the persistent
nature of the nine schools in the WAC to advance their programs to contend at the top levels
of the NCAA.
The WAC provides its student-athletes the chance to travel to scenic destinations and gain
exposure in some of the nation’s most diverse markets. In addition, the WAC’s student-athletes work to achieve the highest levels of success with the academic support of their respective
institutions.
The WAC has experienced tremendous success. Over the past five years, it has won 61.1 percent of
its bowl games, the best winning percentage of any conference in the nation. In the past five seasons, the WAC has sent a total of 18 teams to bowl games (11-7). Boise State has won 66 games
since joining the conference, tied for the most in the nation during that time span (2001-06). The
Broncos earned a BCS invitation and trip to the 2007 Fiesta Bowl where they defeated Oklahoma in
one of the most memorable bowl games of all time. In men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at least
two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 23 of the past 24 seasons. Every current school in the WAC
has competed in the NCAA Tournament since 1990. In women’s sports, Fresno State softball has
competed in every NCAA Tournament ever held while Louisiana Tech has played in all but one.
Current WAC alums have made their presence felt as well. David Carr (Fresno State) was the first
player selected in the 2002 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. Cheryl Ford (Louisiana Tech) was
named the WNBA Rookie of the Year and helped the Detroit Shock win the league’s championship
WAC Commissioner in 2003. And in 2004, the United States’ softball team won the Olympic gold medal with former
Fresno State players Laura Berg and Lovie Jung.
Karl Benson
In 2001, the WAC partnered with ESPN for coverage of football and basketball giving the conference
national exposure from one of the most respected broadcast entities in the country. The WAC officially added WAC.tv in 2006 to
give fans streaming internet access to many sports including nearly every home football, volleyball and basketball game played
during the season.
The WAC is the sixth oldest among the nation’s 11 Division I-A conferences. Its history traces back to July 27, 1962, when
the original six-team league of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition.
The first championship was held in November 1962, when Arizona won the men’s cross country title and New Mexico followed
with the first WAC football title. Arizona finished second in the NCAA College World Series and, less than three years later, Arizona
State claimed the league’s first NCAA title when the Sun Devils won the College World Series trophy. Rice was the last WAC school
to earn an NCAA team title when it won the College World Series in 2003.
Since that year, several changes have occurred. UTEP and Colorado State became members in September 1967, while
Arizona and Arizona State withdrew on June 30, 1978. The WAC then added San Diego State (1978), Hawai‘i (1979) and Air Force
(1980). Before 1990, the WAC sponsored championships only in men’s sports. However, a merger with the High Country Athletic
Conference formed a single conference under one administrative structure, and the 1990-91 athletic year was the first in which
both men and women competed under the WAC name. Fresno State was added in 1992, and then in 1996, the women’s programs
from Air Force and Hawai‘i along with six new schools (UNLV, Rice, San Jose State, SMU, TCU and Tulsa) came into the WAC.
Air Force, Brigham Young, Colorado State, UNLV, New Mexico, San Diego State, Utah and Wyoming withdrew on June 30, 1999.
Nevada (2000), Boise State (2001) and Louisiana
Tech (2001) were added while TCU withdrew following the 2000-01 season. The current membership was established on July 1, 2005, when Idaho,
New Mexico State and Utah State joined the WAC
after Rice, SMU, UTEP and Tulsa withdrew.
The WAC has had just five commissioners in its history. Paul Brechler was named the
first leader of the conference and held the position from 1962-1968. He was followed by Wiles
Hallock (1968-71), Stan Bates (1971-80), Dr. Joe
Kearney (1980-94) and Karl Benson (1994-present).
Presently, the WAC crowns team and
individual champions in 19 sports – eight men’s
and 11 women’s. For the men, there are championships in baseball, basketball, cross country,
football, golf, tennis, indoor track and field and
outdoor track and field. Championships for women
are held in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving,
tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and
field and volleyball.
The WAC office has been located in the
Denver area since the conference’s inception with
the exception of a two-year stay in Phoenix from
1964-66.
AGGIE COMPLIANCE
The New Mexico State University (NMSU) Athletic Department
takes great pride in abiding by the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) and the Western Athletic Conference
rules and guidelines that govern Division I competition. For
the benefit of the many alumni, fans and booster club members who are so active in supporting and assisting the Aggies
throughout the year, we would like to remind everyone of a
few definitions and rules that apply to all athletic representatives and boosters.
Institutional Control
It is the responsibility of NMSU to control its intercollegiate
athletic program in compliance with the rules and regulations of the NCAA.
Responsibility
NMSU’s responsibility for the conduct of its program
includes responsibility for the actions of its staff members
and for the actions of any other individual, booster or organization engaged in activities promoting the athletic interests
of the institution.
Compliance
NMSU must monitor its program to assure compliance and
to identify and report to the NCAA instances in which compliance has not been achieved. An institution found to have
violated NCAA rules is subject to disciplinary and corrective
actions as determined by the NCAA.
NCAA Definitions
Athletic Representative/Booster
You are considered to be a NMSU athletic representative
if you:
• Are a present or past member of a NMSU booster club
or agency that promotes the Aggies’ intercollegiate athletic
program;
• Have made financial contributions to the athletic department or to an athletic booster organization of NMSU;
• Are, or have been providing benefits (e.g., summer jobs,
meals ect.) to enrolled student-athletes, their family members or friends;
• Are, or have been involved in any manner of promoting the
NMSU intercollegiate athletic program.
Please note: Once an individual is identified as an athletic
representative, that person retains that identity indefinitely.
NMSU is ultimately responsible for the acts of all “representatives of athletic interests” in relation to NCAA rules and
regulations.
Prospective Student-Athlete
A prospective student-athlete is a student who has started
classes for the ninth grade or above, including students in
prep schools and junior colleges as well as students who
have officially withdrawn from a four-year institution and
plan to transfer to another institution. In addition, a student
who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a
prospective student-athlete if the institution or a booster
provides the individual or the individual’s relatives or friends
with any financial assistance or benefits that the institution
does not provide to prospective students in general. A good
rule of thumb is to treat ALL STUDENTS as prospects.
Student-Athlete
A student-athlete is a student whose enrollment was solicited by a member of the athletic staff or other representative
of athletic interests with a view toward the student ultimate
participation in the intercollegiate athletic program.
Contact
A contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospect, or the prospect’s parent or legal guardian, and an
institutional staff member or athletic representative during
which any dialogue occurs.
Recruiting
Recruiting is any solicitation of a prospect or a prospective’s
family member (or guardian) by an institutional staff member or by athletic representative of the institution, for the
purpose of securing the prospect’s enrollment and ultimate
participation in the institution’s intercollegiate athletic program.
Guidelines and Reminders for Boosters
• A booster may not contact the prospect, prospect’s coach,
principal or counselor in an attempt to evaluate or recruit
the prospect.
• A booster may not expend funds to entertain or provide
transportation for a prospective student-athlete, family
members or friends.
• A booster may not become directly or indirectly involved
in making arrangements for a prospect, or the prospect’s
relative or friends to receive money or financial aid of any
kind.
• A booster may not contact a prospective student-athlete
through letter writing, telephone calling or other forms of
communication.
However, here are a few ways that an aggie booster may
be involved:
• Do discuss summer employment opportunities with a
prospect after he/she has signed a National Letter of Intent
with NMSU.
• Do attend high school athletic events without contacting
prospective student-athletes.
• Do continue existing friendships with families and friends
of prospective student-athletes.
• Do send recommendation letters, newspaper clippings or
similar information about prospective student-athletes to
Aggie coaches.
Here are a few ways that an Aggie booster may help:
• Do invite a student-athlete to participate in non-profit,
charitable or educational events.
• Do invite a student-athlete into your home for an occasional meal.
• Do contact the NMSU Athletic Compliance Office for
approval prior to a student-athlete engaging in outside
speaking or promotional activities.
• Do pay a student-athlete the commensurate rate for actual
and legitimate employment.
