Top Ten Ways to be a Good Sport:
Adopted by The University of Tulsa Alumni Association, Oct. 3, 2008
The University of Tulsa Alumni Association is an international organization of affiliated chapters and clubs with one mission - to advance TU and its community of more than 30,000 alumni. As a part of this goal, we support the following Spectator Code of Sportsmanship as drafted by the Conference USA Alumni Associations:
Spectator Code of Sportsmanship
* Recognize intercollegiate athletics as an important part of the student and alumni experience.
* Credit student athletes for their commitment to academic and athletic excellence and their efforts to compete within the rules of each sport.
* Promote Conference USA athletic conference by upholding high standards of scholarship, competitive performance and spectator behavior.
* Develop an appreciation for fairness, openness and support of coaches and players.
* Avoid negative comments and gestures that dishonor other teams, their schools and Conference USA.
* Support conference partners competing against non-conference opponents.
* Support and encourage university spirit teams, marching bands and mascots.
* Respect the athletic history and traditions of each opponent.
* Treat spectators, players, coaches and officials courteously, win or lose.
* Apply these standards of sportsmanship and spectator behavior to individual campuses, stadiums and arenas, and encourage alumni to do likewise.
