With the Voice of the Tigers, host Mike Kelly, and the look and feel of a star-studded event, the ROARS is the premier event for Mizzou student-athletes and fans. The ROARS highlights academic, athletic and community involvement accomplishments of Mizzou's student-athletes for the 2009-10 season. Just a few of the awards scheduled to be handed out at the ROARS include Coach of the Year, Male and Female Athlete of the Year, Male and Female Rookie of the Year, Male and Female Academic Achievement Award, Male and Female Unsung Hero Award, Male and Female Courage Award and Professor of the year, among many others.

The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee nominated and voted for the awards that showcase all facets of the student-athlete experience, including recognition for often overlooked but vital contributions to Mizzou teams. But perhaps the most anticipated award of the night will be the Tiger Cup, the year-long competition among all Mizzou's sport teams in athletics, academics performance and community service. The winning team will receive the Tiger Cup trophy, and most of all, the pride of being Tiger Cup champions.
