EXCERPT FROM AMCC CORE VALUES:
The practice and promotion of good sportsmanship and ethical
conduct by all members of the AMCC community (i.e., staff,
student-athletes, coaches, and spectators) shall be of paramount
importance.
Conference coaches, team members and institutional staff members
must exhibit professional decorum in dealings with other coaches,
officials, players, institutional staff members, spectators, and
members of the media.
It is the responsibility of conference coaches and
administrators to uphold all NCAA rules and conference regulations,
and to enforce such rules and regulations with their
student-athletes and staff members.
All members of the athletic department’s staff and all
student-athletes are expected to uphold the highest standards of
ethical recruiting practices. Specifically this means: promoting
the positive aspects of your own programs rather than speaking
negatively of another institution; honoring the attendance decision
of the prospective student-athlete; adhering to the letter and
spirit of NCAA regulations and policies regarding financial aid and
transfer actions; communicating in a timely manner, either coach to
coach or AD to AD, any concerns relating to suspected recruiting
violations or related ethic misconduct.
All individuals associated with the Conference and/or its
member institutions (e.g., administrators, coaches,
student-athletes, SIDs, event staff) are to refrain from making
public comments of a negative or derogatory nature about other
institutions, coaches, enrolled or prospective student-athletes,
officials/umpires, or the conference office.
