CCIW Sportsmanship Statement
The Colleges and Universities of the College Conference

is an integral component of intercollegiate competition.
The College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin
wholeheartedly embraces the NCAA position that in order
for good sportsmanship to prevail, coaches, studentathletes and fans must display respect, fairness, civility,
honesty and responsibility before, during and after all
athletic contests.
The College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin
encourages fans to enthusiastically support their team,
recognize the outstanding performance of opponents
and always exhibit good sportsmanship in their words
and actions.
All Conference tournament and championship
operational policies are managed by the CCIW
office in accordance with adopted conference and
NCAA standards and protocols.
In 2007, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, located in Terre Haute, Ind., joined the CCIW as an associate
member for men’s and women’s swimming, while in 2014, the University of Dubuque, located in Dubuque,
Iowa, joined the CCIW as an associate member for men’s and women’s lacrosse.
The CCIW, which sponsors 23 sports, has carried a long tradition of excellence dating back to its inception in
1946, helping student-athletes grow in their athletic as well as educational experience. The CCIW looks to
continue that tradition and remains dedicated to helping our student-athletes towards success.
On behalf of the CCIW and its member schools, we would like to thank you for your support and hope you

CCIW Mission Statement
The College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin
exists to serve a select group of private colleges
and universities of similar size and heritage, which
share a deep commitment to superior undergraduate
education and a common perspective on the
role of intercollegiate athletics in that education.
The conference supports the following principles
that distinguish the CCIW and its approach to
intercollegiate athletics:
* Student-focused approach - CCIW schools place
the highest priority on the overall educational
experience of the individual student. Athletics are
viewed as an important element of a well-rounded
education. Student-athletes are integrated into the
mainstream of the entire student body, receive no
special privileges and are encouraged to participate in
other campus groups and activities. The conference
supports the active recruitment of student-athletes
as a means of achieving the educational aims of
each member institution.
* Broad based athletics programs - The CCIW
program is wide-ranging in scope, with meaningful
competition and championships offered in numerous
sports. Each member institution offers a broad
based program of intercollegiate sports and seeks
widespread student participation in that program.
* Fairness and equity - CCIW schools are sensitive
and responsive to the needs and interests of both
male and female athletes, and are governed by
principles of fairness and equity in its approach to
funding, staffing and overall support for all sports.
Each member institution is expected to fully comply
with all NCAA, CCIW and institutional rules and
regulations in the operation of its athletics program.
* Overall excellence and national stature of the
conference - The CCIW seeks to continually develop
and strengthen itself with the goal of recognition of
the premier NCAA Division III athletic conference.
The CCIW seeks to promote keen competition, the
highest level of sportsmanship and the strongest
performance possible in each sport. Regular
participation by member institutions in NCAA
regional and national competition is an ongoing
conference goal.
