All individuals associated with the William and Mary athletic program, from student-athletes to parents and fans, are expected to act with a sense of fair play and sportsmanship at all times. The NCAA principle of sportsmanship and ethical conduct is as follows:
"For intercollegiate athletics to promote the character development of participants, to enhance the integrity of higher education and to promote civility in society, student-athletes, coaches and all others associated with these athletics programs and events should adhere to such fundamental values as respect, fairness, civility, honesty and responsibility. These values should be manifest not only in athletics participation but also in the broad spectrum of activities affecting the athletics program.”
