SENIORS READY TO HELP HUSKERS RISE IN 2021

The Nebraska men’s golf team hopes to hit
the links hungry for the 2021 spring season after
being knocked off the course by the worldwide
outbreak of COVID-19 in mid-March of 2020.
The virus also prevented the Huskers from
playing with a team lineup in tournaments during
the fall, but it did not stop third-year Coach
Mark Hankins from helping Nebraska golfers
take major steps forward during the summer.
Nebraska’s individual stroke average leader the
past two seasons, graduate student Tanner Owen
returns for a fifth season after being granted an
additional year of eligibility along with other
NCAA golfers because of the pandemic.
In 2018-19, Owen posted a 72.86 average
and tied for 16th at the Big Ten Championships,
before posting a 75.46 average over half a regular
season in 2019-20.
While Owen will be the most experienced and
accomplished Husker, he will have to compete
for lineup time with a deep roster filled with
talented Nebraska golfers.
Senior Mark Foelbaek, who was an NJCAA
All-American in 2019 before transferring to
Nebraska, had an outstanding summer and fall
after adjusting to NCAA Division I competition
as a junior in 2019-20. Foelbaek won the
Nebraska Open (Sept. 11-13) at Elks Country Graduate student Tanner Owen will lead the Huskers in his fifth season after posting Nebraska’s

the weekend in Jacksonville to help prepare for the
Big Ten Match Play Championship at Hammock
Beach Resort in Palm Coast, Fla. (Feb. 5-6). The
Huskers have finished in the top four at the Big
Ten Match Play in each of the past two seasons.
Nebraska then heads to the West Coast for
the Challenge at Rancho in San Diego (Feb. 27),
before a second trip to California for the Lamkin

2020-21 NEBRASKA MEN’S GOLF
BIG TEN CONFERENCE
Known as one of intercollegiate sports’ most successful
undertakings, the Big Ten is home to a lineage of legendary
names and an ongoing tradition of developing strong leaders.
Even in its infancy, the conference established itself as the
preeminent collection of institutions in the nation, where the
pursuit of academic excellence prevailed as the definitive goal.
The Big Ten is a national leader in intercollegiate athletics
on and off the field, as schools have combined to win more
than 450 team and 1,800 individual national championships.
The history of the Big Ten traces back nearly 125 years
Kevin Warren to the Palmer House hotel in Chicago, where on Jan. 11,
Commissioner 1895, then-Purdue president James H. Smart and leaders
from the University of Chicago, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota,
Northwestern and Wisconsin set out to organize and develop principles for the
regulation of intercollegiate athletics.
At that meeting, a blueprint for the administration of college athletics under the
direction of appointed faculty representatives was outlined. The presidents’ first
known action “restricted eligibility for athletics to bona fide, full-time students who
were not delinquent in their studies.” That important legislation, along with other
legislation that followed in coming years, served as the primary building block for
intercollegiate athletics.
On Feb. 8, 1896, one faculty member from each of those seven universities met at
the same Palmer House and officially established the mechanics of the conference,
which was officially incorporated as the “Intercollegiate Conference Athletic
Association” in 1905.
Indiana and Iowa became the eighth and ninth members in 1899. In 1908,
Michigan briefly withdrew, and in 1912 Ohio State joined the conference, bringing
its membership back to nine. Upon Michigan’s return in 1917, the conference was
first referred to as the “Big Ten” by media members, and that name was eventually
incorporated in 1987.
As the 1900s opened, faculty representatives established rules for intercollegiate
athletics that were novel for the time. As early as 1904, the faculty approved legislation
that required eligible athletes to meet entrance requirements and to have completed
a full year’s work, along with having one year of residence.
In 1901, the first Big Ten Championship event was staged when the outdoor
track and field championships were held at the University of Chicago. The debut
event marked what is now a staple of conference competition. Today, the Big Ten
sponsors 28 official sports, 14 for men and 14 for women, including the addition of
men’s ice hockey and men’s and women’s lacrosse over the last four years. Big Ten
schools compete in a total of 42 sports, furthering the conference’s commitment to
broad-based programming and providing more participation opportunities than any
conference in the country.
One of the conference’s proudest traditions began in 1902 when Michigan faced
Stanford in the Rose Bowl, the nation’s first bowl game. Big Ten teams appeared in
Pasadena twice before the conference signed an exclusive contract with the Tournament
of Roses in 1946, making it the first bowl game with permanent conference affiliations.
Coupling the academic goals set forth by the leaders of the charter members of the
conference and their steadfast commitment to athletics, the conference instituted the
Big Ten Medal of Honor in 1915. It is awarded annually by each conference institution
to a student of the graduating class who has attained the greatest proficiency in
scholarship and athletics. For more than 100 years, it has been the most prestigious
honor a student competing in Big Ten athletics can receive.
In 1922, Major John L. Griffith became the conference’s first “Commissioner of
Athletics.” Griffith was the first of six men to assume the role of commissioner in
the conference’s history, followed by Kenneth L. “Tug” Wilson in 1945, Bill Reed in
1961, Wayne Duke in 1971 and James E. Delany in 1989. Those five served prior to
current Commissioner Kevin Warren, who assumed the role on Sept. 16, 2019. Delany
announced his retirement on March 4, 2019, concluding a 30-year career with the
conference on Jan. 1, 2020.
After nearly 30 years with 10 members, the conference consolidated to nine schools
when the University of Chicago formally withdrew its membership in 1946. Michigan
State was added to the Big Ten three years later, bringing the number of affiliated
conference schools to 10 once again.
In 1955, the Big Ten formulated a revenue-sharing model designed to pool all
football television rights of its members and share those proceeds equally. The
conference and its members continue to utilize a revenue-sharing model, dividing
media rights, bowl payouts and other profits among all institutions.
While academics have always played an integral role, presidents of the Big Ten
member institutions formalized the primacy of academics with the establishment of
the Big Ten Academic Alliance (formerly the Committee on Institutional Cooperation)
in 1958. The Big Ten Academic Alliance is an academic consortium of all Big Ten
universities. Annually, the schools currently constituting the Big Ten Academic Alliance
produced over $10 billion in funded research, $5 billion more than any other conference.
In one of Duke’s first actions as commissioner, he oversaw the adoption of the
Big Ten Advisory Commission in 1972, designed to study conference programs and
make suggestions which would further Big Ten objectives. The Advisory Commission
enlists former students that competed in Big Ten athletics to serve as liaisons to the
NCAA’s Diversity and Inclusion Department, the Big Ten Student-Athlete Advisory
Commission and other organizations.
In 1981, the conference presidents and chancellors endorsed a proposal that enabled
universities to affiliate their women’s intercollegiate programs with the conference,
and the first conference championships for women were staged that fall. The Big Ten
was the first conference to voluntarily adopt male and female participation goals after
launching its Gender Equity Action Plan in 1992.
HUSKERS.COM
In December of 1989, the conference agreed in principle to invite Penn State for
membership. On June 4, 1990, the Council of Presidents officially voted to integrate
Penn State into the conference, giving the Big Ten 11 members.
In 2004, the Big Ten implemented a pilot program of instant replay for college
football. Following the season, the conference forwarded replay proposals to the NCAA
regarding the future use of instant replay, where it approved country-wide testing
in 2005. In 2006, the NCAA approved the use of instant replay for all conferences.
In 2006, Delany announced the creation of the first conference-owned television
network, a 20-year agreement with FOX Networks to create what would become
the Big Ten Network (BTN). Launched on Aug. 30, 2007, BTN now produces more
than 1,800 events across all platforms each year. BTN is in almost 60 million homes
in the United States and Canada via the nation’s major video providers and more
than 300 additional video providers across the country. BTN is also available through
the majority of OTT providers, and via the Fox Sports App, which delivers live and
on-demand programming to computers, smartphones and tablets. BTN Plus streams
hundreds of additional events each season.
On June 11, 2010, the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors (COP/C) approved
a formal membership application by Nebraska, expanding the conference to 12
institutions. Nebraska joined the Big Ten on July 1, 2011.
The conference expanded its footprint further in 2012 when the COP/C approved
formal membership applications from Maryland (Nov. 19) and Rutgers (Nov. 20).
Maryland and Rutgers became official Big Ten members on July 1, 2014, giving the
conference almost 9,500 students participating in intercollegiate athletics and more
than 11,000 participation opportunities on 350 teams.
Since opening in the fall of 2013, the Big Ten conference center hosts more than
300 meetings annually for member institutions, Big Ten Academic Alliance (formerly
CIC) related committees and coaches’ groups. The headquarters also features an
interactive digital museum - the Big Ten Experience – which brings the conference’s
storied academic and athletic history to life. For more information on the Big Ten
Experience, go to bigten.org.
In June 2014, the Big Ten opened a second office in New York City, featuring
both office and meeting space in Midtown Manhattan. Big Ten staff members are
based in the New York City office to provide expanded coverage and service, while
other conference and institutional administrators utilize the space as necessary when
conducting business on the East Coast. The Big Ten and its member institutions also
have access to satellite office space in Washington, D.C.
The Big Ten staff works to meet the educational needs of students competing in
intercollegiate athletics to allow them to excel in all areas of their lives. The conference
office manages 28 different championships and tournaments, offers legislative and
compliance services, oversees the production and distribution of more than 2,000
events annually, provides staff services to coaching and administrative personnel, and
services media and fans interest for information on the Big Ten.

Honor the past. Live the present. Create the future.
Nine simple words that carry impressive significance
and undeniable responsibility. Words that Nebraska’s
athletic director uses to lead his programs and set the
tone for building champions in competition and in life.
William H. (Bill) Moos was named Nebraska’s Athletic
Director on Oct. 15, 2017, and fully assumed those
responsibilities on Oct. 23.
Moos, who became the 15th athletic director in the
history of the storied Cornhusker program, brought
nearly 25 years of experience as an athletic director at
three Division I schools (Washington State, Oregon,
Montana) with him to Nebraska. More importantly,
he brings an impressive track record of success in
building outstanding programs, developing long-term
relationships, and for doing what is best for his schools,
its fans and most importantly, its student-athletes.
“When you name the top three, four, five athletic
programs in the great positions as an athletic director,
Nebraska is in that same breath,” Moos said at his
introductory press conference at Memorial Stadium.
“I want you to know that my motto has always been,
in the 25 years I have been a Division I athletic director
and it will be here too is very simple - honor the past,
live the present, create the future.”
In his first six months at Nebraska, Moos made three
coaching hires. He drew universal praise for hiring
Scott Frost, the 2017 consensus national coach of the
year, as Nebraska’s head football coach in December.
Following the spring semester, Moos also hired Mark
Hankins to coach the men’s golf team and Sean Maymi
to lead the men’s tennis program.
Nebraska made national headlines with the hiring
of Fred Hoiberg as its new men’s basketball coach in
2019. Moos made another impact move with the hiring
of former Husker Will Bolt to lead the baseball program,
after Major League All-Star, Gold Glove award winner
and World Series champion Darin Erstad stepped down
from his head coaching position after leading the Huskers
to the 2019 NCAA Tournament.
Moos hired Lisa Johnson to lead the women’s golf
program after the retirement of long-time coach Robin
Krapfl. He also hired long-time Husker assistant Paul
Klempa to guide the nationally dominant bowling
program after the retirement of the legendary Bill Straub,
who led the program to five NCAA titles since 2004.
Former Husker national champions Heather Brink
(women’s gymnastics) and Rachel Martin (rifle) were also
hired by Moos to lead those national championship-
contending programs.
In competition, the Nebraska volleyball team claimed
the 2017 NCAA title just months after Moos was hired,
before adding an NCAA runner-up finish in 2018. Both
the men’s and women’s gymnastics teams finished in
the top six at the 2018 NCAA Championships, before
the men added a third-place team finish in 2019 - its
best team showing since 1999. The bowling team added
top-three national finishes in 2018 and 2019, and the
wrestling team produced top-10 NCAA finishes in both
of those seasons. The women’s basketball team made
the NCAA Tournament in 2018, while the baseball team
advanced to NCAA Tournament play in 2019.
Nebraska also has continued its excellence in the
classroom, producing nine CoSIDA Academic All-
Americans over the last two years, bringing NU’s
nation-leading total to 340 all-time CoSIDA Academic
All-Americans across all sports.
Moos came to Lincoln after spending seven-plus years
at Washington State (2010-17). He previously served
12 highly successful seasons as the athletic director at
Oregon (1995-2007).
During his time at his alma mater, Moos wasted little
time in making his impact felt in Cougar Athletics,
spearheading a department-wide rebranding effort with
Nike while securing a 10-year, $35 million marketing
rights agreement with IMG College. fund-raising efforts to show a 300 percent increase in
In addition, the 2004 WSU Alumni Achievement Award
winner gained Regents approval for a $130 million
addition and remodel of Martin Stadium, featuring a
remodeled press box with luxury seating, including
suites, loge boxes and club room.
Also included in the project was a state-of-the-art video
board and an 80,000-square-foot football operations
building that served as the stadium’s showpiece and
opened in May 2014.
As the dean of Pac-12 athletic directors, Moos was
at the forefront of the conference’s procurement of a
12-year, $3 billion television contract with FOX and
ESPN, a landmark agreement in college athletics.
Under Moos’ direction, the Cougar Athletic Fund’s
Annual Giving program saw an 81 percent increase in
gifts while CAF donor members rose from nearly 4,000
to more than 7,500.
Additional facility enhancements under Moos included
a center-hung video board in Beasley Coliseum that
was installed prior to the 2011-12 season, giving
Cougar basketball one of the premier fan experiences
in the conference. An indoor golf hitting facility was
also completed in early 2013, and Lower Soccer Field
underwent a major renovation making the venue TV-
ready while also providing one of the best playing
surfaces on the West Coast, along with the addition of
lights and a new scoreboard.
Other enhancements were made to the Moobery track
facility, Bailey-Brayton Field, the basketball practice gym,
Gibb Pool and the Simmelink Indoor tennis courts. In
Moos’ seven years at WSU, Cougar student-athletes

Moos served as Oregon’s director of athletics from
July of 1995 to 2007. While at Oregon he oversaw
a 17-sport athletic department that grew to national
prominence during his tenure.Oregon’s annual athletic
department budget grew from $18.5 million in his
first year to more than $40 million by 2007, becoming
100 percent self-sufficient during that time. Under his
direction the Duck Athletic Fund donor base increased
from 4,930 to 12,290, resulting in an annual gifts increase
from $4.1 million to $15.3 million.
Moos initiated more than $160 million in facility
improvements while at Oregon. Included in that was
the $90 million Autzen Stadium renovation in 2002,
which added 12,000 new seats, 32 new suites, a new
Club at Autzen and a new press box to the stadium. In
his 12 years, the Ducks ranked first in Pac-10 football
attendance 11 times, reaching 100 percent capacity in
each of those seasons.
During Moos’ tenure, Oregon athletics captured 13
Pac-10 championships across six different sports. He
increased opportunities for women by adding two
intercollegiate programs, soccer and lacrosse, and
negotiated an all-inclusive shoe and apparel contract
with Nike, one of only 14 in the country at the time. From
an academic standpoint during Moos’ tenure, Oregon
student-athletes collected 722 academic all-conference
selections, 34 Academic All-America selections, nine
NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipients and one
NCAA Top Ten Award.
During his first stint as a collegiate athletic director at
Montana (1990-95), Moos created an academic support
program and hired its first athletic academic coordinator,
developed a facility enhancement plan that created more
than $4 million in improvements, and lifted the school’s
private and corporate gifts.
Academically, Montana student-athletes were equally
successful as the athletic department achieved a
graduation rate 20 percent higher than the general
university enrollment. Under Moos’ watch Montana
garnered 269 academic all-conference selections, five
Academic All-Americans and two NCAA Postgraduate
Scholarship recipients.
Moos began his athletic career as an athletic
administrator in 1982 as assistant athletic director
at Washington State. He also served as the school’s
associate athletic director (1988-90).
At Washington State, he was director of development
for more than five years and associate director for nearly
two years, supervising all external operations. Prior
to that, he managed and owned private businesses
in Washington and Oregon for eight years. He was a
student assistant football coach at Washington State for
the 1973 season, then spent part of 1974 in Washington,
D.C., serving as a government intern.
Raised on a wheat and cattle ranch in eastern
Washington, Moos attended high school in Olympia
when his father served in the governor’s cabinet. Moos
earned his bachelor’s degree in history from WSU and
was a three-year letterman in football before concluding
his collegiate career by representing Washington
State in the 1972 East-West Shrine All-Star Game in
San Francisco.
He served as co-captain on the Cougars’ 1972 squad
and garnered first-team All-Pac-8 Conference honors.
Moos and his wife Kendra have three daughters: Christa,
Brittany and Kaiti; and two sons, Bo and Benjamin.

TED CARTER
UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRESIDENT
FIRST YEAR
Walter “Ted” Carter Jr., began his tenure as
the eighth president of the University of Nebraska
system on Jan. 1, 2020.
The Board of Regents appointed Carter
following a national search that engaged hundreds
of Nebraskans within the University and across
the state.
Carter is the immediate past superintendent
of his alma mater, the U.S. Naval Academy in
Annapolis, Md., where he served from 2014 to
2019. As superintendent – the Naval Academy’s
equivalent of a university president – Carter
oversaw all functions of the institution, including
leadership of 4,400 students and 1,500 faculty
and staff, management of a $500 million budget,
and oversight of academics, facilities, admissions
and policy.
Under his leadership, the Naval Academy’s
Class of 2019 achieved a record-high graduation
rate of 90 percent and the academy was ranked
the nation’s No. 1 public university by Forbes
Magazine. Carter significantly advanced diversity
and inclusion; white men are no longer the
majority of the student body for the first time in
the academy’s 173-year history. He also formed
the nation’s first accredited cyber operations major
and accredited a nuclear engineering major.
Prior to joining the Naval Academy, Carter
was president of the U.S. Naval War College in
Newport, R.I., from 2013 to 2014, where he led
1,600 resident students, 100,000-plus distance
education students and 600 faculty and staff in
graduate-level education.
Carter earned his bachelor’s degree in
physics and oceanography from the U.S. Naval
Academy. He holds educational credentials from
the 18-month-long Navy Nuclear Power School,
the U.S. Air Force War College, the Naval War
College and the Armed Forces Staff College. He
is a naval flight officer with more than 6,300 flying
hours, and has completed 2,016 carrier-arrested
landings, an American record.
Carter is a Distinguished Flying Cross and Bronze
Star recipient. He graduated from the Navy Fighter
Weapons School (Top Gun) in Miramar, Calif.,
and was commander for the Carrier Strike Group
Twelve, in which he commanded 20 ships, two
nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and two carrier
air wings that were deployed to Afghanistan in
the Arabian Gulf.
He currently serves as the chair of the Daugherty
Water for Food Institute’s Board of Directors and as
a member on the Greater Omaha Chamber Board
of Directors, the Nebraska State Commerce Board
of Directors, and the Nebraska Medicine Board of
Directors. Carter is also a member of the American
Council of Presidents for the Association of Public
and Land-Grant Universities and contributes as an
Ex Officio member of the NU Foundation Board
and Executive Committee.
The son of an English teacher, Carter was raised
in Burrillville, R.I., a rural town in the northwest
corner of the state. He and his wife, Lynda, have

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA
Chartered in Lincoln by the Nebraska
Legislature in 1869, the University of
Nebraska was expanded in 1968 into a
university system now comprising four
campuses under the guidance of a Board
of Regents and a central administration.
The flagship University of Nebraska-
Lincoln is an educational institution
of international stature. Nebraska is
classified within the Carnegie “R1:
Doctoral Universities – Highest Research
Activity” category. Nebraska is also a
land-grant university and a member of the
Association of Public and

2020-21 NEBRASKA MEN'S GOLF
HUSKERS GROW DESPITE SHORT SEASON IN 2020
Tanner Owen produced a team-best 75.46 stroke average in 2019-20. Owen’s third-place finish at the Prairie Club Invitational was Nebraska’s top
performance of the season.
Despite an abrupt end to the 2020 spring
season brought on by the worldwide outbreak of
the coronavirus, the Nebraska men’s golf team
took another step in its growth phase under
second-year Coach Mark Hankins in 2019-20.
Nebraska’s success on the course included a
fourth-place team finish for the second straight
season at the Big Ten Match Play Championship,
despite a nearly complete turnover in the lineup
from 2019 to 2020.
Senior Tanner Owen led Nebraska again
individually with a 75.46 stroke average while
competing in all 15 rounds for the Huskers.
He also produced NU’s top individual finish
with a third-place showing at the Prairie Club
Invitational in Valentine, Neb. (Sept. 29-30).
While Owen continued to lead the Big Red at
the top of the lineup, Nebraska’s No. 2 through
No. 5 golfers throughout most of the season
were first-year Huskers.
A trio of junior college All-Americans - Branden
Meyer, Tom Westenberger and Mark Foelbaek -
all made significant impacts. Meyer produced
Nebraska’s No. 2 stroke average (75.53) while
joining Owen as the only Huskers to compete
in all 15 rounds on the season. Westenberger
added NU’s No. 3 stroke average (76.42) while
competing in 12 rounds.
Another newcomer, transfer Caleb Badura,
also competed in 12 rounds for the Big Red and
produced a 76.67 stroke average. Badura also
made Husker history by going a perfect 4-0 at
the 2020 Big Ten Match Play Championship.
FALL SEASON
The Huskers opened the 2019-20 season
with a 10th-place finish at the Duke/Rod
HUSKERS.COM
Myers Invitational in Durham, N.C. (Sept.
14-15). It marked a three-spot improvement
over Nebraska’s finish at the event in Hankins’
inaugural season as the Huskers’ head coach
in 2018-19. As a team, Nebraska shot an 896
(+32), which was an 18-stroke improvement
over the previous season. Owen led the Huskers
individually with his tie for 34th at 222 (+6).
The Huskers returned to Nebraska to host the
Prairie Club Invitational and tied for fifth behind
Owen’s third-place individual effort. The senior
fired a 217 (-2), including a final-round 70 (-3)
in Valentine. Meyer added a tie for 11th (224,
+5) as Nebraska’s No. 2 finisher for the second
straight event to open the season.
Nebraska made it three straight top-10
team finishes by taking 10th at the Maridoe
Invitational in Carrollton, Texas (Oct. 6-8). Owen
led the Big Red with a tie for 12th (225, +9),
while Westenberger tied for 14th (226, +10).
The Huskers returned to Texas two weeks
later to close the fall season at the Royal Oaks
Invitational (Oct. 21-22). Meyer and freshman
Will Marshall led Nebraska with three-round
totals of 225 (+12), while Westenberger added
a 226 to finish 59th.
Owen closed the fall with a team-best 74.50
stroke average, while Meyer ranked second
among the Huskers with his 75.58 average over
the same 12 rounds.
SPRING SEASON
Nebraska began its spring season at the 2020
Big Ten Match Play Championship, Feb. 7-8,
at Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Coast, Fla.
Nebraska opened the tournament by winning
the tiebreaker in a 3-3 match against No. 4 seed
Ohio State. Later the same day, the Huskers
improved to 2-0 with an impressive 3.5-2.5
victory over Michigan State.
The Huskers secured a fourth-place team
finish despite suffering a 4-2 setback to
Northwestern and a 3.5-2.5 loss to Maryland on
the tournament’s final day.
Badura provided the biggest individual
highlights for the Huskers in Florida by
becoming the first Nebraska golfer to go 4-0
at the Big Ten Match Play. Meyer added an
impressive 3-1 match play performance for the
Big Red.
Badura built momentum for the spring by
leading the Huskers a month later at the Desert
Mountain Intercollegiate in Arizona (March 7-8).
The Aurora, Neb., native tied for 21st with a 223
(+7) on the Outlaw Course at Desert Mountain,
while Meyer added a tie for 32nd (226) to help
Nebraska to a ninth-place team finish.
The Huskers were scheduled to play at The
Aggie Invitational (April 4-5), the Git-R-Done
Husker Invitational (April 11-12) and the Hawkeye
Invitational (April 18-19) prior to competing
at the Big Ten Championships (May 1-3), but
the COVID-19 pandemic ended college sports
seasons around the nation in mid-March.
Owen capped his 2020 season by earning his
bachelor’s degree from Nebraska, while being
named a Golf Coaches Association of America
Scholar All-American, a Big Ten Distinguished
Scholar and Academic All-Big Ten. Owen was
also Nebraska’s Big Ten Sportsmanship Award
winner for men’s golf. Meyer joined Owen as
a GCAA Scholar All-American, while Daniel
Pearson and Patrick Clare added Academic All-
Big Ten honors of their own.
