“FORM 990, PART I, LINE I The goals of the Conference are: A. To initiate, stimulate, organize, enhance and improve men's and women's intercollegiate athletic competition between member institutions of the Conference and, thereby, to promote and develop educational leadership, physical fitness and sportsmanship in an environment that promotes diversity, inclusion and gender equity among its student-athletes, coaches and administrators.

F. To establish and monitor an environment of compliance with Conference, institutional, and NCAA rules. G. To ensure each member institution's commitment to the Conference's mission, and, in so doing, foster collegial relationships among members to manage the tensions that frequently surface in the competitive environment.
