POLICY IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW AND WILL BE UPDATED IN 2025



Members should be aware that media, faculty, staff, future/current employers, NCAA officials,
collegiate coaches, and third parties can easily access digital media profiles and view all
personal information and postings. This includes all pictures, videos, comments, and posts.
Inappropriate material may affect the perception of the member, their team, and BAFC. This can
also be detrimental to an athlete’s future self and their employment options, whether in
professional sports or in other industries.

Any posts related to BAFC teams must be submitted to the Media Team  to be posted on the BAFC social media platforms. Teams are encouraged to not run individual media
platforms.

Examples of inappropriate and offensive behaviors in digital media communities, forums, and
platforms may include but are not limited to the following:

1. Photos, videos, comments, songs, or posts showing the personal use or promotion of
alcohol, drugs, and/or vaping/tobacco or that condone, promote, or mention any
alcohol/drug-related activity. For example, holding cups, cans, shot glasses, or use of
marijuana and/or drug paraphernalia.

2. Photos, videos, songs, lyrics, or comments of a sexual, graphic, explicit, and/or
pornographic nature.

3. Content online that is unsportsmanlike, negative, foul, explicit, derogatory, demeaning,
degrading, threatening, harassing, and/or abusive toward any other individual, race,
religion, or entity. For example, any derogatory comments regarding another institution,
taunting aimed at another student-athlete, coach, or team, or derogatory comments
against race and/or gender.

4. Content that depicts or encourages violent or illegal activities. For example, hazing,
sexual harassment/assault, gambling, discrimination, fighting, vandalism, or academic
dishonesty.

information. For example, tentative or future team schedules, student-athlete injuries,
eligibility status, or travel plans/ itineraries.
