Penguin Fans can keep track of all of YSU's athletic events by synching their personal computer-based calendars and PDAs with the YSU sports schedules. Below are 11 different files - 10 in "comma separated values" or CSV format and one in iCal format. The CSV format is the most widely used in computer-based calendars such as Microsoft Outlook and Yahoo!, and the iCal file is used with the MyYSU portal. From Outlook and similar programs, fans can synch the YSU athletics calendar with mobile devices such as PDAs and cell phones.
