Dear Alumni, Fans and Friends,

As a founding member of the Ohio Bobcat Club, you are, by NCAA definition, a representative of Ohio's athletics interests. Those who actively support Ohio athletics are an integral part in the overall success of the program. Your support enables our student-athletes to train and prepare in quality facilities, compete against challenging opponents and receive superior coaching. Your level of support is vital to the outcome of contests and competitions.

We value your interest and support, but we must remind you that the NCAA has strictly limited the role you, as a Bobcat fan, may assume with regard to prospects and student-athletes. An inappropriate action on your part can jeopardize the eligibility of a student-athlete, prospect and/or the compliance of the University with Mid-American Conference and NCAA regulations.

Rules compliance is of the highest priority for our athletics program and institution. As a member of the NCAA, Ohio is responsible for the actions of its alumni, supporters and fans. Even the best-intentioned action on your part may be a violation of NCAA rules. Please contact the Compliance Office if you have any questions regarding what is permissible. Remember to "Ask Before You Act!"

Ohio appreciates its alumni and friends who strive for the highest level of ethical conduct while supporting the student-athlete's goals for both academic and athletic success.

We thank you for your support.
