NCAA Principle of Sportsmanship and Ethical ConductFor intercollegiate athletics to promote the character<br />
development of participants, to enhance the integrity of higher education and to promote civility in<br />
society, student-athletes, coaches, and all others associated with these athletics programs and events<br />
should adhere to such fundamental values as respect, fairness, civility, honesty and responsibility. These<br />
values should be manifest not only in athletics participation, but also in the broad spectrum of activities<br />
affecting the athletics program. It is the responsibility of each institution to: (revised: 1/9/96)<br />
(a) establish policies for sportsmanship and ethical conduct in intercollegiate athletics consistent with the<br />
educational mission and goals of the institution; and (adopted: 1/9/96)<br />
(b) educate, on a continuing basis, all constituencies about the policies in Constitution 2.4-(a). (adopted:<br />
1/9/96)<br />
