MISSOURI VALLEY FOOTBALL CONFERENCE
Entering his 11th season at Western Illinois, Don
Patterson owns the fourth-most wins of any coach
in Missouri Valley Football Conference history.
The past three seasons have dealt great change to the Missouri Valley Football Conference. Within
that span, the league has lost a member, gained two members and changed its name. Despite those
developments, one thing -- quality, nationally competitive football -- has remained constant for the
league, which celebrates its Silver Anniversary in 2009.
The Missouri Valley Football Conference enters its 25th year of existence this fall and has proven to
be one of the nation’s premier NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) leagues.
There’s not much that has eluded the conference in its first 24 years of existence. The league’s
first two-plus decades have included national championships, national players of the year, national
coaches of the year, No. 1 national rankings and countless All-Americans.
Strong coaching and great players have helped make the league a national force, but the stability and
leadership of Commissioner Patty Viverito -- the only commissioner the league has ever known -- has
helped make the Missouri Valley Football Conference a standard bearer on the FCS scene. Indeed,
all signs point to continued national prominence for the Missouri Valley Football Conference as it
enters its 25th season in 2009.

Patty Viverito
Commissioner
In June 2008, presidents of the nine-member Gateway Football Conference and the 10-member
Missouri Valley Conference approved a rebranding initiative that changed the football conference
name from the Gateway Football Conference to the Missouri Valley Football Conference. It represented
the second name change for the football league. Initially, the conference competed as the Gateway
Collegiate Athletic Conference (1985-91) and the Gateway Football Conference (1992-2007).
Although the league shares the Missouri Valley name, the football-playing members compete under a
separate administrative umbrella, as the Missouri Valley Conference and the Missouri Valley Football
Conference will remain separate entities.

While the 2008 season didn’t produce a national championship, it was a successful one, as UNI
became the 14th different league team to reach the semifinals of the FCS playoffs, while Southern
Illinois also represented the conference in the playoffs, marking the 14th straight season in which at
least two teams have participated in post-season play. For four-straight weeks, six league teams were
ranked in the Top 25 -- the first time that had ever happened, while North Dakota State enjoyed the
No. 1 national ranking for two-straight weeks early in the 2008 campaign. RB Herb Donaldson was a
finalist in the Walter Payton Award voting while leading the nation in rushing and scoring.
The Missouri Valley Football Conference has two recent national championships (Western Kentucky
- 2002; Youngstown State - 1997), and league members Youngstown State (3) and Southern Illinois
(1) own additional titles prior to their league membership, meaning six FCS championship trophies
are housed on league campuses, in addition to three (Youngstown State twice and UNI in 2005)
runner-up finishes. Only five FCS leagues possess more than a single FCS championship trophy, and
the Missouri Valley Football Conference is among that elite.

In recent years, the league has established itself as a leader among FCS conferences. During the
past 12 years, the league has had two national championships, and eight other semifinal trips. The
league’s 35-25 playoff mark in that span is third-best among all FCS leagues, and the conference
has had four teams reach the title game since 1997.
The Missouri Valley Football Conference success is not limited to the immediate past. During the
decade of the 1990’s, current members of the league compiled a 34-19 mark in the FCS playoffs,
bettered only by the Southern Conference, whose members were 37-19 in that decade.
Team accomplishments have helped solidify the Missouri Valley Football Conference as an FCS
elite, but individuals at the league’s member institutions are the real source of pride within the
conference. Thanks to great players and strong coaching, the Missouri Valley Football Conference
has reached and will maintain its place among the FCS best.
Last year, despite tough scheduling, five teams in the conference had winning records, matching
an all-time high. The Missouri Valley Football Conference has had four teams (or more) with better
than .500 records in the same season 15 times now, including the past 11 seasons. A minimum of
two league teams have won at least nine games in each of the past seven seasons.
In 1997, Youngstown State grabbed the crowned jewel for the conference, as the league had one
of its most successful seasons. In addition to claiming the league’s first national championship,
the Penguins finished the year ranked No. 1, marking the first time a league member has held that
spot in a season-ending poll. That year, Western Illinois was at No. 6, marking the first time the
league ended the year with two teams ranked among the top six.
In 1999, the Missouri Valley Football Conference trumped that, as Youngstown State finished the
year No. 2 and Illinois State was No. 3, while UNI also finished in the top 20.
In 2002, Western Kentucky added to the league’s national championship trophy case with an
FCS crown, while both WKU (No. 1) and WIU (No. 5) finished among the nation’s top five in the
season-ending polls. The Hilltoppers became the first school to earn victories against the tourney’s
top three seeds en route to its national championship.
In 2003, four Valley teams represented the league in the 16-team NCAA playoffs, marking the first
time any league has sent that many to the playoffs in the same year.
In 2004, Southern Illinois spent a league-record 11 weeks as the nation’s top-ranked team, while
all eight league teams received votes for the Top 25 at some point in the season. LB Boomer
Grigsby of Illinois State earned a National Defensive Player of the Year honor, while SIU’s Jerry Kill
was National Coach of the Year.
In 2005, UNI became the fourth league school to reach the FCS championship game since 1997,
while Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky combined to hold the nation’s No. 1 ranking in the
top-25 polls for five weeks.
In 2006, Youngstown State won its second-straight league championship and the Penguins were
joined in the playoff field by Illinois State and Southern Illinois. That marked only the second time
in league history the league had more than two teams qualify for the 16-team playoff field. SIU’s
Arkee Whitlock was a national player of the year award winner (College Sporting News) and was
third in the Walter Payton Award balloting.
Last year six teams were nationally ranked in the same poll, marking the first time in league history
that had happened. Those six teams were ranked for four-straight weeks. North Dakota State held
the nation’s No. 1 spot for its first two weeks as a conference member, while Dale Lennon of
Southern Illinois became just the third to win Coach of the Year honors in his first league season.
The original Gateway Conference was founded as a women’s athletic organization in August 1982,
following the dissolution of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. In September
of that year, Patty Viverito was named the first commissioner of the newly founded conference,
a position she maintains today. Before moving to its permanent headquarters in St. Louis, the
conference spent three organizational months on the campus of Eastern Illinois University.
The Gateway Conference football division was born on August 21, 1985, when the Gateway
Conference President’s Council voted to add a FCS football division for six of its members to
the previously all-women’s athletics organization. Founding members of the football division were

In July of 1992, the 10-team conference disbanded as its women’s programs realigned with their
men’s teams. The league assumed its new name on July 1, 1992, becoming the Gateway Football
Conference, an NCAA FCS football league comprised of seven Midwest institutions.

Eastern Illinois, Illinois State, UNI, Southern Illinois, Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State),
and Western Illinois. The creation of the football division marked the first time in college annals that
football was added to a women’s conference. In June of 1986, Indiana State became the seventh
member of the conference.
In the 24 years of the football division, league membership has been stable -- with only five fluctuations
since 1986. Eastern Illinois left the league to join the Ohio Valley Conference in 1996, while Youngstown
State joined the conference in 1997 to return league membership to its original seven-member status.
League membership reached what was then an all-time high of eight members for the start of the 2001
season with the addition of Western Kentucky. The Hilltoppers left the league after six years to join the
Sun Belt (FBS). North Dakota State and South Dakota State joined for the start of the 2008 season,
giving the league nine members for the first time.
The Missouri Valley Football Conference is among eight FCS conferences that receive automatic bids
to the NCAA FCS Championship. Those other leagues include the Big Sky, the Colonial (formerly
the Atlantic-10 and the Yankee), the Mideastern Athletic, the Ohio Valley, the Patriot League, the
Southern, and the Southland. The conference has had an automatic bid since 1986, as the FCS Football
Committee waived the league’s two-year waiting period and granted the league an automatic bid after
just one year.
The Missouri Valley Football Conference is the only automatic FCS qualifying conference that sponsors
football as its only sport, as the league completed its service to women’s athletics following the 1991-92
season. Although the league no longer sponsors women’s sports, the league has an historical place in the
development of intercollegiate women’s athletics.
The 10 founders of the original Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference currently belong to three
conferences. Eight members joined their men’s programs in the Missouri Valley: Bradley, Drake, Illinois
State, Indiana State, Missouri State, UNI, Southern Illinois, and Wichita State. Eastern Illinois is now in
the Ohio Valley Conference, while Western Illinois competes in The Summit League.
Members of the Missouri Valley Football Conference (and initial year of membership) include Illinois
State University (1985), Indiana State University (1986), Missouri State University (1985), North
Dakota State University (2008), the University of Northern Iowa (1985), South Dakota State University
(2008), Southern Illinois University (1985), Western Illinois University (1985), and Youngstown State
University (1997).
Five Missouri Valley Football Conference members also compete in the Missouri Valley Conference
(Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, and Southern Illinois). Three league schools
compete in the Summit League (North Dakota State, South Dakota State, and Western Illinois), while
Youngstown State competes in the Horizon League for its other sports.
In its decade of operation, the Gateway sponsored championships in ten women’s sports and football.
The women’s sports were basketball, cross country, golf, indoor and outdoor track & field, swimming and
diving, tennis, softball, volleyball and, early on, field hockey.
