Athletic Policy

The athletic program at Northeastern State University is an integral part of the education program and offers a wide range of intercollegiate sports for men and women. Intercollegiate athletic contests are scheduled with comparable institutions according to policies of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Lone Star Conference, of which the university is a member. The athletic program is administered by the Director of Athletics. The Athletic Committee, which is composed of faculty and staff members and students, considers athletic policies and makes recommendations to the Director of Athletics and the President of the university. Coaches are regular members of the faculty and as faculty members have the same benefits and responsibilities as other faculty members.
