Saginaw Valley State University is a Division II member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). As a member, SVSU is accountable for the actions of coaches, student-athletes, faculty and staff, alumni, donors and friends to ensure that NCAA rules and regulations are followed. The recruitment of any prospective student-athletes is the sole responsibility of Saginaw Valley State University coaches. Any representatives of SVSU’s athletic interests (boosters) cannot be involved in the recruiting process. Compliance with NCAA rules is crucial, as any violations may affect the eligibility of prospective student-athletes and current student-athletes. Penalties could be imposed as a result of any violations, leading to restrictions on your involvement with SVSU’s athletics programs. Below is important information for boosters.
