VOLLEYBALL

The new $30 million Mountaineer Field House was opened in the spring of 2014.

Western State Colorado University, the highest four-year institution of higher learning in the United States at 7,703 feet above sea level, opened its doors to students 103 years ago this fall and celebrated a century of educating educators three academic years ago.

Western is located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, with academic programs that take advantage of the natural laboratory that surrounds campus. The college has the only college-based Mountain Rescue Team in the nation and is consistently ranked by National Geographic and Fly Rod and Reel Magazine as one of the top colleges for students to experience outdoor recreation.

Crested Butte Mountain Resort and Monarch Mountain are both within an hour drive of campus for winter sports, and Hartman Rocks features a range of activites in the summer. The City of Gunnison hosted the start of the “Queen’s Stage” of the USA Pro Cycling Tour, which several international cycling experts called one of the toughest stages to receive certifi cation.

The Mountaineers have maintained one of the top small college athletic programs in the nation, with the fourth-highest average in the history of the Learfi eld Sports Directors’ Cup. With 90 RMAC championships, 107 individual national championships and 15 national team championships, the Mountaineers have been building “Champions Out of Thin Air” since the college opened in 1911. The programs have maintained one of the top graduation rates in Division II when compared to the student body, with several programs outpacing the national average many times over.

VOLLEYBALLPAUL WRIGHT GYM

Built in 1951 and renovated several times since, the Paul Wright Gym boasts a capacity of 1,800 spectators. At 7,728 feet above sea level, the facility is the highest collegiate gym in the world.

In 1960, the current swimming pool was added to the facility, and in 1965, the wrestling room as added on the east side.

In 1998, a major 40,000 square foot renovation was completed that added a 2,500 square foot weight room and a locker facility for visiting teams and the Western State student body. Along with the south addition, six class-rooms were included that allowed the Recreation and Exercise Science Department to conduct all its classes in one building.

During the 1998 renovation, the Mountaineer Sports Hall of Fame Room was completed with meeting facilities and trophy cases.

Three years ago, a new gym fl oor and retractable baskets were installed. Bleachers were installed in 2005.

The building is named after Paul W. Wright, who spent 38 years as a professor, coach and administra-tor at Western State. He also served as judge and mayor in Gunnison and was instrumental in the establishment of skiing as an NCAA sport.

VOLLEYBALLRULES FOR BOOSTERS

Everyone associated with the Western Athletics program (coaches, staff, student-athletes, boosters) has the responsi-bility to comply with NCAA rules involving prospects and student-athletes. Mountaineer athletic support groups are a very valuable part of the Western State Colorado University Athletic Department. All present and past members of these groups are considered boosters and therefore, are held to compliance with these standards. Please review the infor-mation on what boosters may or may not do, and ask before you act.

Recruiting GuidelinesA Booster may:• contact a prospect as long as the booster had an estab-lished relationship prior to the student becoming a prospect and as long as there is no attempt to recruit the prospect for Western;• watch a prospect’s athletic contest (but not have contact with that prospect or the prospect’s parents); and• provide names, statistics, newspaper articles, etc. of out-standing prospects from the booster’s local area to Western coaches and staff (but not contact that prospect’s coach or school offi cials in order to gather materials pertaining to the prospect’s athletic or academic abilities).

A Booster may not:• contact (telephone or in writing/e-mail) a prospect or his/her parents in person, for the purposes of recruiting the prospect;• make contact with a prospect or his/her parents on or off the Western campus for the purposes of recruiting his/her to Western;• mail anything to a prospect, including press releases, me-dia guides, posters, schedule cards, etc.;• approach a Western coach who is with a prospect either on or off the Western campus;• contact or request anything (transcript, videotape) from a prospect’s counselor or coach in order to evaluate the athletic or academic ability of a prospect; and• provide any extra benefi t to a prospect or his/her family or friends.

Rules Regarding current Western Student-AthletesA Booster may:• provide an occasional family home meal to a student-athlete or an entire team. Such meal must take place in the home, not in a restaurant. The meal may be catered.• provide employment under certain circumstances to current student-athletes. Student-athletes must be paid the established rate (in the area for similar services) for work actually performed.

A Booster may not:• provide extra ben-efi ts to any student-athlete and his/her family;• use the name or picture of a student-athlete to directly or indirectly promote the sale or use of a commercial product or service;• provide free or reduced rate housing for a student-athlete or his/her family;• hire a student-athlete to house-sit;• provide an honorarium to a student-athlete who has been approved for a speaking engagement. Student-athletes may receive only actual and necessary travel expenses to pre-approved speaking engagements; and• provide any extra benefi t to a current student-athlete.

Student-Athlete EmploymentA student-athlete may be employed during or outside the academic year, provided:• The student-athlete’s compensation does not include any remuneration for value or utility that the student-athlete may have for the employer because of the publicity, reputa-tion, fame or personal following that he or she has obtained because of athletics ability;• The student-athlete is compensated only for work actually performed;• The student-athlete is compensated at a rate commensu-rate with the going rate in that locality for similar services; and

Employer “Do’s” and “Don’ts”• The athletic department may arrange employment for prospects in the summer prior to their enrollment as fresh-men and for enrolled student-athletes during all offi cial vacation periods (summer, winter, spring) during the aca-demic year.• Do not provide free transportation to and from jobs for student-athletes, unless such transportation is provided to all employees.• Do provide employment for prospective and currently enrolled student-athletes during permissible time periods and at regular pay rates for similarly qualifi ed non-athlete employees.
