Our mission at Santa Barbara City College is about preparing the student-athlete to move on to be successful at the 4-year level. It describes where we're going and how we intend to get there. Our goal is to put you in an environment that is consistent with 4-year scholarship programs. We want to be a place of development. We believe that the better our players are individually, the stronger we will be as a team.

Message to SBCC Athletic Staff, Current Students and Potential Student-Athletes Regarding the Vaquero Football Program
June 18, 2009

The SBCC Football Program has violated several areas of the California Community College Athletic Association/Commission on Athletics Constitution and Bylaws (CCCAA/COA), specifically having to do with the recruitment of student-athletes. As a result, the Southern California Football Association (SCFA) has imposed on the SBCC Football Program the sanctions and penalties noted below.

The SBCC administration and coaching staff are taking all necessary steps to adhere to the CCCAA/COA Constitution and Bylaws, to implement the conditions of the sanctions that have been imposed and to ensure that the SBCC Football Program will emerge at the end of the probationary year in full compliance with all CCCAA/COA rules.

Through this probationary process, SBCC student-athletes will continue to be a part of an outstanding educational institution, providing excellent academic preparation to meet their certificate, degree, transfer and/or career-technical objectives. The 2009 football season is continuing as scheduled.

The following penalties and sanctions have been imposed on the SBCC Football Program by the SCFA under the provisions of CCCAA/COA Article 7.5.12 and are now in effect:

All football games in the 2008 season are forfeited and the team record is reflected as 0-10 in the official SCFA 2008 final statistics.
The 2008 co-championship of the American Pacific Conference is also forfeited.
The SBCC football program is placed on probation for one (1) year through June 30, 2010.
The SBCC football program is suspended from post-conference competition for the 2009 football season.

These sanctions apply to the football program only; not to any other sports at SBCC.

During the course of this probationary period, the College will develop and implement a plan to monitor all areas of the Football Program which have been in violation. Reports will be made on a regular basis to the CCCAA/COA.
