The bulk of this collection has been organized by Athletics sport then divided into series based on content type; the files within each series are then organized either chronologically or alphabetically. This collection also includes records from the Athletics Department, Athletics Booster Clubs, Cheerleading, and Intramural Sports. The structure for the Athletics series and Athletics Departmental Files is detailed below. The Cheerleading and Intramural Sports series share a similar organizational structure as the Athletics files, while the Athletics Booster Clubs series is just organized by each club.
