NCAA Rules: Holiday Reminders
Considering this is the time of year where people give the most, the Department of Athletics would like to make sure that no one winds up on the NCAA’s naughty list for trying to do something nice. So, here are a few friendly reminders.
Extra Benefits: According to NCAA rules, an extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee, or a representative of the institution’s athletics interests, to provide a student-athlete, or a prospective student-athlete, or their friend or family member, a benefit not also available to the general student population, or a particular segment of the student body. This may include:
- Holiday presents/gifts
- Money, loans, bonds, or co-signing of loans
- Free transportation (use of a car, boat, airline tickets, bus tickets, etc.)
- Free storage
- Free merchandise (clothes, video games, etc.)
- Free entertainment (sporting events, movies, concerts, nightclubs, etc.)
- Free lodging (hotel rooms, staying at apartment/house)
- Free meals
- Discounted merchandise because of status
- Free use of credit card, calling card, etc.
Holiday Gifts: It is impermissible to provide holiday gifts to student-athletes or their relatives. Please remember that holidays are not exempt from extra-benefit bylaws.
Occasional Meals: Occasional meal rules apply to team holiday parties, any AUM faculty and staff member or parents who wishes to provide a student-athlete, or an entire team, with a holiday meal. Be sure to complete an Occasional Meal Form, submit it to the Athletics Compliance Office, and get approval before any such meal occurs.
For more information or clarification, please email Andreé Houston or call at 334-318-9343
Happy Holidays and Go Warhawks!
