Joe McIver has been selected to receive the Scoop Hudgins Outstanding Lifetime Sports Information Directors Award at the All American Football Foundation's Banquet of Champions XXXVIII on Thursday, November 29, 2001 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Princeton, New Jersey. A 26-year veteran of the profession, McIver became Morgan's first full-time SID a day after graduating from MSU. One of his first successful professional ventures was the selection of his former teammate, Marvin "The Human Eraser" Webster as the Associated Press 1976 National College Division Player of the Year.

He also served as the Media Director for the MEAC Summer Basketball Tour in Dakar, Senegal and the Morgan State Christmas Basketball Tour to Brazil, Peru and Argentina, South America.

The 49-year-old native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania served as University Acting Public Relations Director from 1979-80 and Acting Director of Athletics (1982-83). His current title is the Assistant Athletics Director for External Operations. Last summer, he was selected to the College Sports Information Director's Association Board of Directors and has served three years as President of the Black College Sports Information Director's Association. He led the re-organization of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference SID's Association and implemented the MEACSIDA Annual Summer Workshop, which was applauded by the NCAA as one of the best in the country. He currently serves on the MEAC's Hall of Fame and Basketball Tournament Committees and is a NCAA Committee Representative for First and Second Round NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship Tournament.
