    sure, keep just the last sentence, but as long as all the other stuff is in there, at least ensure you know the difference between “insure” and “ensure”.

    “INSURING adherence to all association and conference rules by athletes and supporting staff” <– yeah, that should be ENSURING (my own emphasis added, of course)
