Contacts with Currently
Enrolled Student-Athletes
Don't
Provide a student-athlete, their relatives or
friends any benefit or special arrangement (e.g., use of an automobile,
promise of employment after graduation, discounted prices or free
services or products to a student-athlete). The NCAA considers these
“extra benefits” and they are specifically prohibited.
Provide payment of any expenses (e.g., room,
board, transportation) for friends or relatives to visit the student-athletes
where they are enrolled.
Expend funds to entertain student-athletes, their
friends or relatives.
Use the name or picture of an enrolled student-athlete
to directly advertise, recommend or promote sales or the use of
a commercial product or service of any kind.
Provide any payment of expense or loan of any
automobile for a student-athlete.
Provide awards or gifts to student-athletes for
their athletic performance. All awards must conform to NCAA regulations
and must be approved by the institution.
Do
Feel free to invite a student-athlete to your
home for a home cooked meal but only infrequently on special occasions
(e.g., birthday, Thanksgiving). Also, you may provide transportation
for the student-athlete to attend the meal function at your home.
Feel free to invite a team for dinner at your
home or to meet with a group of alumni in a city where they are
competing. The NCAA permits student-athletes AS A TEAM to receive
special benefits not permitted as individuals. Arrangements for
such events must be made in advance with the athletic department. |
