Saint Vincent College Sportsmanship
 
The NCAA allows only the legal and responsible use of alcohol by fans outside the stadium.
 

  • The NCAA, the Presidents’ Athletic Conference and Saint Vincent College promote good sportsmanship by student athletes, coaches and spectators.  We request your cooperation by supporting the participants and officials in a positive manner.  Profanity, racial or sexist comments or other intimidating actions directed at officials, student athletes, coaches or team representatives - as well as public intoxication, the consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages and tobacco or e-cigarettes (vaping) products - are grounds for removal from the site of competition and other disciplinary actions.
