Bison Club Staff Contacts

 • Bison Club Index Page

Todd Newcomb is a familiar face to most Bucknellians, from his time on campus as a student and in his current role as an athletic administrator. Newcomb returned to Bucknell in 1999 after spending 10 years in the Patriot League Office, the last six months of that time as interim executive director of the league. As the Associate Athletic Director for External Affairs and Director of the Bison Club, Newcomb works closely with the University Relations staff and is responsible for coordinating annual, planned, capital and special gifts for the department of athletics and recreation and is responsible for managing and directing the department's fund-raising, development, promotions, marketing and athletic communications programs. A native of Port Jefferson, N.Y., Newcomb lives in Lewisburg with his wife, Karen, and their three children: Courtney (14), Drew (11) and Brett (7).  

A veteran of 18 years in college athletics fund-raising and operations, Tom Harvey joined the Bucknell community in 2004 as Manager of Athletics Fundraising. Harvey's primary responsibility is to work closely with Bucknell's Director of Annual Giving, the Director of Athletics and the Director of the Bison Club to identify and solicit new annual donors to the Bison Club, while at the same time soliciting current members of the organization to increase their annual contributions. For two years prior to arriving at Bucknell, Harvey worked as a financial consultant for Smith Barney in Boca Raton, Fla., but from 1989-2002 he worked exclusively in college athletics, including a five-year stint as Director of External Football Operations at Florida Atlantic University. He also served as Donor Relations Coordinator and Director of Regional Athletic Development at the University of Miami. Harvey lives in Lewisburg with his wife, Leisha, their son Adrien (18) and daughter Alison (8).  

Sid Jamieson concluded his 38-year coaching career at Bucknell following the 2005 season and immediately began serving as a fundraising assistant for the Bison Club. The legendary mentor won seven conference titles in three different conferences -- the Patriot League, the East Coast Conference and the Mid-Atlantic Conference during his coaching days. His Bison squads won at least a share of four Patriot League titles from 2000-03 and boast a 25-6 league record over the last five seasons. In 1996 Jamieson led the Bison to an undefeated season and the Patriot League championship, and he was named Patriot League Coach of the Year and USILA Division I National Coach of the Year. The Bison ranked ninth in the final USILA Top-20 poll after turning in the first undefeated season in Bucknell history. While the 1996 team was snubbed for an NCAA Tournament berth, Jamieson guided the Herd to their first NCAA appearance in 2001 after capturing another Patriot League crown. The Bison met fourth-seeded Notre Dame in the first round of the NCAAs, falling 12-7 at West Point's Michie Stadium. Jamieson coached 17 All-Americans and had 14 Bison invited to play in the prestigious North-South All-Star game. An impressive total of 116 of his players earned all-league distinction. Two players were named Most Valuable Player in the MAC and one in the ECC. In the Patriot League, the Bison had one Player of the Year, four Defensive Players of the year, four Offensive Players of the Year and three Rookies of the Year in Jamieson's tenure. In addition, the Bison coaching staff was been honored as the Patriot League's top staff twice. In February 2003, Jamieson was inducted into the Pennsylvania Lacrosse Hall of Fame in Philadelphia. Jamieson and his wife Linda, are the parents of three sons, Kevin, Steve and Mark, all of whom are avid supporters of the Bison Lacrosse program.
