15
Championship Websites
The official website for the championships is available at NCAA.com. Additional information
specific to participants can be found on NCAA.org.
Credentials for Media
All media credential requests, including requests for institutional sports information personnel,
should be submitted online at www.ncaa.com/media.
Interviews
Immediately after a 10-minute cooling-off period, an interview area will open to all certified
members of the news media; any coach and student-athletes requested by the media will be
available for interviews.
Regardless of regular-season radio or television contract(s), the coach is obligated to the entire
covering media during the championship and must report to the interview room immediately
after the 10-minute cooling-off period. The coach cannot delay a post-competition interview with
the covering media to conduct a program for a single newspaper, radio or television reporter
unless requested to remain for a short interview (not to exceed four minutes) by the television
entity that has been granted television rights by the NCAA.
Coaches cannot make themselves available to selected media representatives before the
conclusion of the 10-minute cooling-off period. They may, however, open their dressing rooms
and/or report to the interview area before the cooling-off period ends, and make themselves
available to all media representatives staffing the championship. Should a coach permit one
media agency access before the 10- minute cooling-off period has ended, access shall be granted
to all other media representatives desiring access. The NCAA championships have an “open
locker room policy,” which is administered by the media coordinator on site.
Media Work and Hospitality Area
The media work area and hospitality will be located in the Soccer scorer’s press box, located on
the east side of the soccer field, which is directly adjacent to the track stadium.
Media Parking
Media parking will be located in Lot H (See Campus Map-Appendix B).
Photography/Videography
The NCAA owns all rights to all of its championships as listed in NCAA Bylaw 18.3. These
rights include, in addition to the rights with respect to participation and admission, rights to
televise (live and delayed), radio broadcasting, filming and commercial photography. NCAA
Photos is the official championships photographer for the NCAA, which has the right to sell
photographs of championship activity. NCAAPhotos.com currently provides member
institutions, coaches, student-athletes and their parents’ access to photography online at a
discounted rate. Member institutions have full access to the NCAA photo library found at
NCAAphotos.com for non-commercial use (e.g., for year books, on-site banners and posters,
web, media guides, etc.).
16
Institutional videographers will be permitted to capture competition footage from the still
photographer areas. These areas are designated by the championship sports committees in
conjunction with the championship media coordinator. Each institution will be permitted to have
one videographer for this purpose and will only be permitted to capture footage of
events/contests in which it is participating. The NCAA will grant university permission to
videotape this NCAA championship event for non-commercial uses only. Non-commercial uses
include university banquet videos, recruiting videos, institutional PSAs, video boards, and
institutional athletic hall of fames. In addition, the NCAA will permit institutions to use
institutional videographer footage captured for two commercial uses: 1) Use on the official
institution athletic Web site, and 2) Institution coach’s shows.
Institution and videographer understand that any violation of the above policies WILL
result in an infringement of the NCAA’s copyright. Copyright infringement could result in
a financial penalty of up $50,000 per violation to be paid to the NCAA. In addition, the
NCAA reserves all other sanctions including but not limited to institutional
photographer/videographer privileges being revoked for up to a five-year period for all
NCAA championships competition.
Programs
IMG is partnering with the NCAA to produce digital game programs for NCAA Championships.
All game programs can be viewed at www.ncaa.com/gameprograms. The program is free to view
and can be downloaded and printed in any way you see fit. Using a digital platform will allow us
to add extra pages to programs in addition to extending deadlines to allow for the most up-todate information to be included in the program. In addition, after the championship has
concluded, the program will be updated with a recap from the championship and a new cover
photo from the recently completed championship. If you wish, you can have IMG print a hard
copy after the championship has concluded for the actual cost of production by contacting Kirk
Phillips (kirk.phillips@imgworld.com) at IMG College Publishing.
Results
Results will be distributed to the media and available online at www.NCAA.com and
www.primetimetiming.com/liveresults/2014/ncaa_outdoor.

Concussion Management
The NCAA has adopted legislation that requires all active member institutions to have a
concussion management plan for their student-athletes. Participating institutions shall follow
their concussion management plan while participating in NCAA championships. If a
participating team lacks appropriate medical staff to activate its concussion management plan,
the host championship concussion management plan will be activated.
The legislation notes, in part, that a student-athlete who exhibits signs, symptoms or behaviors
consistent with a concussion shall be removed from athletics activities (e.g., competition,
practice, conditioning sessions) and evaluated by a medical staff member (e.g., sports medicine
staff, team physician) with experience in the evaluation and management of concussions; a
student-athlete diagnosed with a concussion is precluded from returning to athletics activity for
at least the remainder of that calendar day; and medical clearance for return to athletics activity
shall be determined by the team physician or the physician’s designee from the student-athlete’s
institution. In the absence of a team physician or their designee, the NCAA tournament physician
will examine the student-athlete and will determine medical clearance.
A concussion is a brain injury that may be caused by a blow to the head, face, neck or elsewhere
on the body with an “impulsive” force transmitted to the head. Concussions can occur without
loss of consciousness or other obvious signs. A repeat concussion that occurs before the brain
recovers from the previous one (hours, days or weeks) can slow recovery or increase the
likelihood of having long-term problems. In rare cases, repeat concussions can result in brain
swelling, permanent brain damage and even death.
For further details please refer to the “NCAA Sports Medicine Handbook Guideline on
Concussions” online at www.NCAA.org.

Participant Expectations and Guidelines
Drug Testing
Student-athletes who compete in these championships may be subjected to drug tests in
accordance with Bylaws 18.4.1.5 and 31.2.3, and may be determined to be ineligible as a result
thereof. Only student-athletes who have consented in writing to such testing are initially eligible
for these championships; and thereafter, student-athletes who are tested shall remain eligible
only if they test negative.
More information regarding drug testing at NCAA championships can be found at NCAA.org
(Healthy and Safety, Drug Testing).
Ethical Behavior by Coaches
As a member of the coaching profession, coaches have inherent obligations and responsibilities
to the profession, to the student-athletes, and to all those with whom they come into contact.
Coaches are expected to be role models and to conduct themselves with integrity and high ethical
standards at all times. In order to fulfill these responsibilities, a coach must:
1. Per NCAA Bylaws, conduct all intercollegiate competition in accordance with the playing
rules of the Association.
2. Place the safety and welfare of others ahead of winning and personal prestige.
19
3. Treat all people with honesty, fairness and respect. (In particular, such things as vulgar and
profane language or taunting, intimidating or baiting opponents or the media, are not
acceptable from a coach or a student-athlete.)
4. Teach and model for student-athletes and staff members strict adherence to the rules and
regulations of the sport and its governing bodies.
5. Recognize, accept and teach to the team and the staff that their public behavior projects an
image of the program and the university or college they represent. Therefore, behavior
should be appropriate and honorable at all times.
Medical Scratches
If a student-athlete does not compete in or complete an event due to an injury or illness, that
student-athlete and coach must report immediately to the designated meet physician/certified
athletic trainer for documentation purposes. Failure to do so may result in loss of travel
reimbursement/per diem, disqualification from other events, and/or a potential misconduct. It is
the responsibility of the student-athlete and coach to report immediately to the meet
physician/trainer. All medical scratches and re-entry after failing to participate or finish an
event must be approved by the official meet physician/athletic trainer.
Misconduct/Code of Conduct
Misconduct is defined as “any act of dishonesty, unsportsmanlike conduct, unprofessional
behavior or breach of law, occurring from the time the championship field is announced
through the end of the championship that discredits the event or intercollegiate athletics.”
Public criticism of officials may subject the individual, institution or conference to the
misconduct provisions.
The games committee is authorized to (1) reprimand publicly or privately, (2) disqualify from
future participation and/or (3) ban from subsequent competition a student-athlete or
representative of the institution who is guilty of misconduct at any time during the
championship.
All members of the travel party must sign the Division II Code of Conduct form. Completed
forms must be returned to the committee representative designated on the form by Friday, May
17. The code of conduct form is available on the NCAA website (NCAA.org, Division II,
Championships, outdoor track and field).
Protests/Appeals
All protests must be filed on the official protest form, available at the assigned protest area. One
copy shall be posted in the designated protest area, and the other copies shall be given to the
referee. A protest must be filed no later than 30 minutes after the official results are posted. All
institutions involved in the protest will be notified of the protest and the decision. The referee’s
decision shall be written on each copy of the protest. One copy shall be returned to the protesting
coach and one shall be placed in the committee’s files. A $50 deposit is required for all protests,
which will be returned if the protest is successful in reversing the decision. If the violation that is
being protested was called by the referee, the protest will be referred directly to the jury of
appeals for review.
20
As part of the protest process, the decision of the referee may be appealed through the appointed
jury of appeals, in writing, not later than 30 minutes after the decision of the referee has been
announced. Any official evidence available to the referee may be reviewed. If such evidence is
not conclusive, the decision of the referee shall be upheld. No further appeal is available. The
result of an appeal shall be posted and the affected coaches notified. A $50 deposit is required for
all appeals, which will be returned if the appeal is granted.
The NCAA Division II track and field committee will serve as the jury of appeals for the 2014
Division II outdoor track and field championships.
Correctable Error. Within 72 hours after the last event of a meet, or before the subsequent
round, results can be corrected if administrative errors are detected (i.e., incorrect calculation of
team, individual or combined-event scores, timing error).
Student-Athlete Bio Forms
Teams should complete the student-athlete bio forms (Appendix F) for all participants.
Completed forms can be emailed to Morgan DeSpain (mdespain@ncaa.org) prior to arriving on
site, or can be given to the NCAA committee during packet pick-up.
Uniforms/Logos
When engaged in competition, each competitor must wear an official team uniform with
components governed by the rules or be subject to disqualification. Wearing any part of the
official team competition uniform illegally while in the area of competition shall lead to a
warning by the nearest official that repeated violation may result in disciplinary action. A report
of uncorrected violations shall be made to the referee and offending competitor’s coach.
a. A uniform consists of two school-issued components–shorts or briefs, and a top. A onepiece body suit is acceptable as a combination of the two components. Any outer garment
(i.e., sweat pants, tights) that is school-issued becomes the official uniform, when worn.
b. The uniform must be of a material and design deemed to not be objectionable or
offensive by the athletics department of the issuing institution.
c. The uniform top must, by design and size, cover the full length of the torso, meeting or
hanging below the waistband of the bottoms, while the competitor is standing, and allow
for competitors’ numbers to be placed above the waist, front and back.
d. Uniform tops must be worn so to not obscure hip numbers.
e. Additional visible clothing is an undergarment. It must be worn under the uniform and be
of a solid color.
f. The use of, or wearing of, artificial noisemakers by competitors is prohibited.
Note: Individual or team uniform, logo, number and shoe rules shall be enforced through
inspection by the clerk of the course or the head field event official at initial event check-in.
Violators shall be warned, given the chance to correct the violation, and reported to the
referee.
In addition to the specifications outlined above, the following shall apply for relay uniforms:
21
a. All relay and cross country team members must wear uniforms clearly indicating,
through color, logo and combination of all outer garments worn as a uniform, that
members are from the same team.
b. Visible undergarments on the top (i.e., T-shirts) worn by team members must be of an
identical solid color. Visible undergarments on the bottom (i.e., tights of any length) must
be of an identical solid color.
Note: The effect of this rule is that no imagination shall be required to justify a clear sense of
belonging to a team.
Logos
An institution’s official uniform (including warm-ups) and all other items of apparel (e.g., socks,
headbands, T-shirts, wristbands, visors or hats) that are worn by student-athletes in competition
shall bear only a single manufacturer’s or distributor’s normal label or trademark (regardless of
the visibility of the label or trademark), not to exceed 2 ¼ inches in area (i.e., rectangle, square,
parallelogram) including any additional material (e.g., patch) surrounding the normal trademark
or logo. The logo or trademark must be contained within a four-sided geometrical figure (i.e.,
rectangle, square or parallelogram).
In addition, an institution’s official uniform, including sideline bibs, cannot bear a design
element similar to the manufacturer’s that is in addition to another logo or that is contrary to the
size restriction.
A student-athlete representing an institution in intercollegiate competition is limited to wearing
apparel items that include only the logo (not to exceed 2¼ square inches) of an apparel
manufacturer or distributor. The student-athlete may not wear any apparel that identifies another
entity other than the student-athlete’s institution.
These restrictions apply to all apparel worn by student-athletes during the conduct of
competition, which includes any pregame or postgame activities.
This bylaw will be strictly enforced at all NCAA championships and the names of individuals
and institutions that are not in compliance with this bylaw shall be forwarded to the NCAA
enforcement staff.
