Dear Friends, Boosters and Fans of Conference USA Institutions:

Conference USA is committed to establishing itself as a national leader in intercollegiate athletics, with a strong emphasis on sportsmanship and integrity. The Conference, with the support of the Presidents and athletics administrators at all twelve institutions, has developed an extensive sportsmanship program designed to improve awareness and encourage positive behavior at all athletic events.
This letter is to ask for your assistance in this effort. Please help spread the word that Conference USA and its member institutions are known for great teams that conduct themselves in competition with class, dignity and honor. Your actions both home and away, are extremely important to the image of your team and your institution. You can have a positive impact on the guests that visit your institution and the experiences of the participating student-athletes. Please adopt a philosophy of respect and responsibility and help your fellow fans do the same.

Hold their hands and tell them how swell it is that they came to the game.

Tuck FAMU.

I take pride in the SMU gameday experience and tell folks I know from ECU and Marshall that they should get to Dallas to enjoy a road trip at some point in the future. I know both those schools have a lot of people who take pride in showing their visitors a good time (pregame) and then try to keep the game result in proper perspective. I would hope we are welcoming on the BLVD...before and after we stomp 'em in Ford

Support sportsmanship.
