Over the last several years, Morehead State has overhauled the practice and game facilities for the vol­ leyball team at Wetherby Gym. The hardwood floor was recently resur­ faced and new windows, lights and scoreboards have each been added. The building was originally completed in 1955 and was named for then-Gov­ ernor Lawrence Wetherby. The 5,000- seat facility was the home of the MSU basketball programs from 1955-82, when the two teams moved into the Academic-Athletic Center. Within the facility lies the volleyball team's newly­ renovated locker room, plus visiting locker rooms and an officials' locker room, an equipment storage area, a laundry room, a concessions area and a training room.

33 Morehead State Volleyball Life With the Eagles

Morehead State Volleyball Morehead State Volleyball Dear Friends: Morehead State University is committed to upholding the highest integrity within all procedures and practices of the athletic department. We are pleased to publish this note as a reference to understanding often confusing NCAA regula­ tions. The NCAA defines "representatives of athletic interests" as alumni, friends and boosters of the University. All member institutions are held accountable for their representatives' actions. One violation could jeopardize the eligibility of any or all Eagle Athletic programs. As a general rule, anyone who has financially supported Eagle Athletics, been a member of any booster organization, or who has supported Eagle Athletics is considered a "representative" of Eagle Athletics. Prospective student-athletes can be defined as a student who has started classes in the ninth grade or any younger student-athlete who has received a benefit from the institution. These individuals may only be recruited by MSU coaches who have passed the NCAA Recruiting Rules Examination. While "representatives" of Eagle Athletics may speak to any of these individuals via telephone or in person, a recruiting effort must not be made. Also, no student-athlete or prospective student-athlete may receive any extra benefit outside of the support provided by the institution. For any questions regarding this description, please contact Jim Wells, Compliance and Eligibility Coordinator, (606) 783-2760. These are certainly not all the regulations any "representative" of Eagle Athletics must remember. However, they provide a good outline of the types of things that could endanger the eligibility of any MSU Athletics program. Again, feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Thanks again for your support of Morehead State Athletics.

Sincerely, 9/A/!4/fa

Jim Wells Compliance and Eligibility Coordinator
