We ask that as you are making a decision to play for a FCS sports team you will seriously consider the commitment, discipline and self-sacrifice you are entering into; playing for FCS is a privilege not a right. FCS athletics during your season of competition will be your number one priority, taking precedent over many other commitments. All appointments or social activities should be scheduled around your practices, games and other team functions. As you become a student athlete you will need to be flexible at times for the betterment of your team. Schedules are subject to change and sometimes activities are added. In some cases games need to be rescheduled, so you need to be very careful with over committing during your season of competition. Any special considerations or accommodations will be at the discretion of the head coach and the Athletic Director and should be discussed before the team roster is finalized.
