Exhibit 1.2.7aCommittees Working withAthletics and AthletesStudent-Athlete Advisory Committee This committee has two representatives from each varsity team who meet once a month to discuss and review policies and issues pertinent to the student-athlete of Lipscomb University. The members also plan activities to encourage support of all the teams and to benefit the Lipscomb community outside athletics and the Nashville community. The committee: 1. Acts as a liaison between the Athletic Department and the student-athletes. It serves as a forum to address the concerns and needs of student-athletes and facilitates communication regarding rules changes, deadlines and programs. 2. Publishes a newsletter during the school year to keep student-athletes informed about current issues and events and rules changes, to honor special achievements and to feature special educational articles. 3. Organizes and promotes social activities and service projects to build camaraderie among all the athletes. 4. Helps facilitate each team’s community service efforts and organizes service of its own to both the Lipscomb community and Nashville. (Lipscomb University Athletics Policies & Procedures Manual, 2003-04, p. 78)

The Dean of Campus Life is chair of this committee designed to hear the appeal of a student-athlete who has been denied a release to speak to another four-year institution regarding transferring there for athletic competition. 2. The committee reviews the student-athlete’s reasons for requesting the release and decides whether or not the Athletic Department’s decision to deny the release should be upheld. 3. Committee members from outside the Athletics Department are appointed by the chair and summoned on an as needed basis. (Policies and Procedures Manual p.65) Financial Aid Appeals Committee1. The Director of Financial Aid chairs the Financial Aid Appeals Committee, which hears the appeal of any student-athlete who is contesting having his or her athletic aid withdrawn or reduced.

The following table shows the frequency with which each team purchases equipment and supplies and the quality of the equipment and supplies bought. Explanation of the steps taken to maintain them, the schedule and criteria for replacement, and their availability is provided after the table.
Maintenance and Replacement For men's basketball most of the gear is bought on a yearly basis, except for game uniforms and warmups kept 2-3 years; women's basketball purchases home uniforms one year, away uniforms the next, and warmups the third year. Uniforms are washed in cold water and dried on low heat or air dried to maintain them. Baseball also launders carefully all practice and competition wear. If a piece of clothing is slightly shrunk, then it is used for practice. Material from the pockets from old pants is used to cover holes and rips. One piece of a uniform is bought every other year. Some of softball's practice apparel and uniforms are purchased annually, and some every other year. Softball spot treats its uniforms as part of their maintenance, and players hang their travel bags during competition in order to preserve them better. Extreme care is given to maintaining the pitching machine and other non-budgeted pieces of equipment. Uniforms are replaced when the appearance is no longer first class, and equipment is replaced when it is no longer functional. The volleyball team maintains its uniforms carefully as well through the laundering done by the team manager. Uniforms are bought yearly due to number changes and wear and tear. The brand of balls used is set by the Atlantic Sun, and in order to run practice efficiently, a good supply of balls is maintained as they become damaged. The cross country and track program (men and women's) purchases running shoes each year and uniforms, warmups, and travel bags every 2-3 years and replaces equipment when necessary. Javelins, discuses, and shots are purchased only when needed. Men's soccer replaces the equipment used daily on a yearly basis. Other items of equipment and apparel are replaced every 2 years unless there is a major defect. Women's soccer players turn in their uniforms and equipment at the end of each season. The manager launders game and practice gear, and necessities such as ripped game shorts are replaced immediately if needed. Items of apparel are checked yearly for stains, rips, holes, and overly worn places. If an item has been discontinued or is beyond use, it is replaced. Balls are counted before and after practices and games and replaced when they no longer remain pumped up. Due to the expense of replacing match uniforms and bags these items are retained by the coach of both the men's and women's tennis team at the end of the spring season during the player's exit interview (the exception is seniors who are allowed to keep theirs). Match uniforms are bought every four years. To minimize expense further, only easily replaced "stock" items are purchased. Practice wear is purchased yearly, and strings and grips are kept under the control of the head coach and team stringer and issued as needed. The best quality equipment is purchased for the lowest possible price. For men's and women's golf practice and competition, apparel is bought annually, and each player is responsible for the care of his or her equipment. Golf bags are replaced when they have reached the point of excessive wear. Availability For men's and women's basketball equipment and supplies are purchased as needed, although budget concerns may limit the purchase of expensive items of equipment. While the athletics program covers most areas of baseball's operating expenses, the baseball players buy their own turf shoes, cleats, sleeves, jocks, and wind suits. For softball, budget allocations adequately cover needed apparel but seem inadequate to purchase equipment such as a pitching machine or field supply items. Volleyball is able to purchase apparel and equipment as needed, as has men's and women's golf and men's and women's tennis. In men's soccer budget allocations, plus money raised through the team's annual alumni game, cover equipment and apparel with the exception of the $75 each player pays for his shoes. In the past, the women's soccer players have paid for their own shoes as well, but for the 2004 season shoes will be covered by the team budget. Other expenses are adequately met by the budget. The equipment and supplies budget for men's and women's cross country and women's indoor and outdoor track and field needs to be increased to cover more shoes and larger equipment such as an indoor high jump and indoor running pads.
