Alumni and Friends of Cal Poly Athletics

Cal Poly’s athletic program would not be where it is today without the loyal support of alumni and friends like you. Therefore, your support is equally important to our compliance effort.

Cal Poly is committed to the principle of institutional control in operating its athletics program in a manner that is consistent with the letter and spirit of the NCAA, Big West conference and university rules and regulations. This takes commitment of shared compliance responsibilities by all those involved. Members of the athletic department, other institutional staff members, student-athletes as well as individuals and groups representing Cal Poly’s athletic interests share in this responsibility to the commitment to rules compliance. By helping Cal Poly in rules compliance, you are helping preserve the integrity and excellence of Cal Poly athletics and protecting the athletic eligibility of our student-athletes.
