This is no fault on the athletes’ part; they are only wearing the clothing that the University issues to them. However, according to the Honor Code, non-athletes participating in the same activities are not permitted to dress in a similar manner.

There’s a reason athletes dress this way; it enables optimal performance and comfort.

Why are the rest of us denied these benefits? We may not be performing at a collegiate level, but we still participate in intramural sports and other physical activities. This issue doesn’t require more restriction on athletes’ clothing, but instead a standard equal to athletes’ for all students.
