During halftime of the football game, the Syracuse Eight Courage Award will be presented to Syracuse’s NCAA Gymnastics Champion Sidney Ogelsby. The first African-American to win an NCAA title, Ogelsby was a three-time ECAC Champion and participated in an AAU sponsored gymnastics tour or Africa. He was one of 18 African-American student-athletes attending Syracuse at the time. Ogelsby continues to be an active member of the Syracuse community, as an elected official on the Syracuse Common Council and the Onondaga County Legislature, and serves on numerous community organization boards. In 1998 he became the first African-American to serve as Democratic floor leader for the County Legislature. He currently serves as Commissioner of Jurors for Onondaga County and is vice president of the New York State Commission of Jurors Board.
The Syracuse Eight Courage Award, established in 2006, is presented annually to a current or former student-athlete who has overcome a socially, economically or otherwise disadvantaged background or serious injury and has demonstrated uncommon bravery or highly principled behavior in the face of adversity. It is awarded to that student-athlete, regardless of race, color or gender, whose actions, like the actions of the men in whose honor this award is being made, both reflect these values and a commitment to sportsmanship and academic achievement.
In October, 2006, the University honored the Syracuse Eight, who is a group of African-American student-athletes who had the courage to stand up for their convictions. To honor these brave men and the important contributions they made in the university quest to achieve diversity and understanding, the athletic department has created the award of courage.
