EASTON, Pa. - Lafayette's 2010 football media guide is available for free right here on GoLeopards.com. To access the official publication in PDF format, click the link above.
The printed version of the 2010 Lafayette football media guide, which is considerably smaller and focused on content exclusively for the media, will only be provided to media personnel because of a new NCAA bylaw approved in April. This new legislation (listed below) prohibits institutions from providing media guides to prospective student-athletes, their families, high schools and/or anyone associated with prospective student-athletes. Lafayette's NCAA Compliance officials have determined that the best manner to fully comply with this new bylaw is to only distribute media guides to media personnel.
13.4.1.1.2 Athletics Publications.
An institution may produce a printed media guide; however, an institution shall not provide a printed media guide or any other printed athletics publication not listed in Bylaw 13.4.1.1 to a prospective student-athlete, his or her parents or legal guardians, the prospective student-athlete's educational institution or any individual involved in the coaching of a prospective student-athlete. It is not permissible to make a printed media guide or any other printed athletics publication not listed in Bylaw 13.4.1.1 available free of charge to a prospective student-athlete, his or her parents or legal guardians, the prospective student-athlete's educational institution or any individual involved in the coaching of a prospective student-athlete, even if such publications are available to other members of the general public free of charge. An institution may not create a printed portfolio of information (e.g., pictures) to be used in the recruiting process. An institution may provide a media guide to a prospective student-athlete via a digital media storage device (e.g., compact disc, flash drive). (Adopted: 4/29/10 effective 8/1/10)
