WELCOME BACK STUDENT-ATHLETES
Another season is truly here! Our football and soccer programs have their preseason camps underway with volleyball reporting next week. Seeing student-athletes back on campus makes this one of my favorite times of the year!
TICKET UPDATES
Football season tickets and road game tickets are scheduled to go out in separate mailings next week. On the basketball end, we are working on finalizing prices and manifest information for men’s and women’s season tickets in the Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena. We should have renewal packets mailed to returning season-ticket holders in September.
EXPOSURE
It’s great to see Trevone Boykin and SuperFrog on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s College Football Preview issue. Trevone is our first Horned Frog on the cover of SI since Andy Dalton in 2010.
SOCCER OPEN HOUSE








We hope to see you on Sunday, Aug. 9, when our soccer program hosts an Open House centered around its 5 p.m. intrasquad scrimmage at Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium. Following the scrimmage, at 6:30 p.m., fans will be treated to numerous interactive games for the kids, free ice cream, an appearance from SuperFrog, a meet and greet with players and coaches as well as a tour of the Jane Justin Field House.
NAME THE MOVIE QUOTE


















































Last Week’s Answer: The great Bob Barker, the Price Is Right legend, said to Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore, "There is no way that you could have been as bad at hockey as you are at golf.”








This Week: "I don't know why they call this stuff hamburger helper. It does just fine by itself, huh? I like it better than tuna helper myself.” 




COMPLIANCE CORNER











The Ocean State University (OSU) women's soccer coaches want to play an alumni game this fall. Which of the following is true?
A. If the game is held prior to the first permissible contest date, it will have to be categorized as a scrimmage/exhibition game and therefore count against OSU's maximum number of contests.
B. If the game is held on or after the first permissible contest date, it can be exempted from counting against OSU's maximum number of contests.
C. It is not permissible to conduct an alumni game in the sport of soccer.
D. Both A and B are true.
The answer is D. NCAA Staff Interpretation - 5/19/99 - Calculating Annual Exemption for Field Hockey or Soccer Alumni Game - states that a member institution's field hockey or soccer team may exempt annually an alumni game from the institution's maximum number of contests or dates of competition provided the game is played during the declared playing and practice season on or after the first permissible contest or date of competition as specified in NCAA Bylaw 17.9.3-(a) or 17.18.3-(a). The staff also confirmed that if an alumni game is conducted during the preseason practice period prior to the first permissible date for such a contest, the contest would be considered a scrimmage/exhibition game and, per Bylaw 17.9.5.1.1 or 17.18.5.1.1, the game must count against the institution's maximum number of contests.
