Athletic Event Sportsmanship Policy - “Win With Class” The Franklin College athletic department enthusiastically endorses the ideals of the NCAA and the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference on the priority of good sportsmanship at collegiate athletic events. We want our student and alumni fans to recognize how much their support means to the men and women who represent Franklin College in athletic competition. All our student-athletes enjoy the atmosphere of a vocal, enthusiastic home crowd. However, we want to define and reinforce what is appropriate in demonstrating that support. Simply put, we ask the Grizzly faithful to be positive in the support of our Franklin teams without being derisive or disrespectful toward opponents. Our coaching staff is committed to the priority of representing Franklin College with class on and off the field or court. We remind players that this responsibility goes with the privilege of wearing a Franklin College uniform. We expect our sports programs to be respected not only because we win, but also because we do so with class. We expect no less from our fans – especially student fans – and we expect that effort to be led by those who are student-athletes. It is our hope that student leaders will take it upon themselves to insist that their peers honor the “Win with Class” principle: “Franklin College fans create a loud, enthusiastic home court/field advantage for the Grizzlies by encouraging the efforts of the home team while being respectful to opposing players, coaches, fans or game officials.” Franklin College has an obligation to ensure safety of participants and spectators as well as the integrity of the event. The college is also accountable to the NCAA and the Heartland Conference for compliance with sportsmanship guidelines for each organization. Guidelines which apply to all athletic events hosted at Franklin College include: 1. No alcoholic beverages are allowed at the site of athletic events. Persons possessing alcohol will be removed from the event. Persons exhibiting symptoms of intoxication Page -53
