The goals of the UNA Intercollegiate Athletic program are parallel
to those of the University, the National Collegiate Athletic
Association and the Gulf South Conference – to promote academic and
athletic achievement and sportsmanship within the framework of a
winning tradition.
Since colleges and universities exist to educate youth, the true
justification for the existence of intercollegiate athletics is that
they contribute to the overall education program. It is imperative
therefore, that this program encompasses the intellectual, physical,
social, moral, emotional, cultural and vocational aspects of
individual development.
