Sportsmanship is a vital part of the Competitive Sports Program at OSU. Clearly contests are important to participants, but the importance should not become so overriding that players lose sight of appropriate behavior. The playing site is not a venue for physical or verbal abuse for players or spectators. In order to encourage proper conduct before, during and after the scheduled contest, officials, supervisors and professional staff will make decisions on whether to warn, penalize or eject players, teams and/or fans for unsportsmanlike conduct.
