Even though it may be your brother's company or a best friend's company, you are still a student-athlete and are governed under the NCAA legislation.

    • My name is not for sale (yet).

    Correct Answer
    A. My name is not for sale (yet).
    Explanation
    Seems harmless, but surprisingly, the NCAA prohibits this specifically.

    12.5.2.3 Specifically Restricted Activities. A student-athlete's involvement in promotional activities specified in this section is prohibited. 12.5.2.3.1 Name-the-Player Contest. A student-athlete may not permit use of his or her name or picture in a "name-the-player" contest conducted by a commercial business for the purpose of promoting that business.

    A local restaurant is offering "buy-one get-one free" entrees to all college students on Friday night.  The restaurant manager called you personally to invite you to take advantage of this special deal.  Can you accept?

    • Sure thing. Bring a date!

    • I better not. Athletes aren't allowed to receive discounts.

    Correct Answer
    A. Sure thing. Bring a date!
    Explanation
    Since the service is being offered to the entire student body, and not just athletes, it's fine to take them up on the offer.

    16.11.2.2.3 Entertainment Services. A student-athlete may not receive services (e.g., movie tickets, dinners, use or car) from commercial agencies (e.g., movie theaters, restaurants, car dealers) without charge or at reduced rates, or free or reduced-cost admission to professional athletics contests from professional sports organizations, unless such services also are available to the student body in general.

    An avid fan and supporter of your sport has invited you over to their home for dinner. He says that they have several players on the team over for dinner every Wednesday and would like you to come. How often do you get to eat a home cooked meal as a college student? Will you go?

    • Sorry, I can't make it.

    • I'll be there!

    Correct Answer
    A. Sorry, I can't make it.
    Explanation
    Because the booster is providing dinner every week, this would be impermissible to go. It's okay for a booster to provide an OCCASIONAL meal for athletes, but it can't happen with any frequency. Check with the Compliance Office before you go to any dinners at a booster's home.

    16.11.1.5 Occasional Meals. A student-athlete or the entire team in a sport may receive an occasional meal in the locale of the institution on infrequent and special occasions from an institutional staff member. An institutional staff member may provide reasonable local transportation to student-athletes to attend such meals. A student-athlete or the entire team in a sport may receive an occasional meal from a representative of athletics interests on infrequent and special occasions under the following conditions: (a) The meal may only be provided in an individual’s home, on campus or at a facility that is regularly used for home competition and may be catered.

    I can miss class if I am participating in a service activity coordinated by the athletic department.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The NCAA prohibits you from missing class due to any type of promotional activities, including service activities. While we realize it is a great thing you are wanting to help with, it would be a violation for you to miss class in order to participate in the activity.

    My friends and I want to participate on a local city league team during the fall semester.  I'm not in-season and it won't conflict with my class schedule or anything.  Can I participate?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Participating in any type of outside competition during the academic year (as opposed to the summer or official vacation periods) would cause you to be ineligible for intercollegiate athletics. Please talk with the Compliance Office prior to participating in any outside competition at any time (including the summer). Even if it is during the summer, it doesn't automatically make it okay. There are certain types of outside competition that are NEVER okay to participate in.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Even though the activity has nothing to do with athletics and your name is not being used, you are still being used to promote your friend's company. Before doing anything such as this that would jeopardize your eligibility, please ask the Compliance Office.

    It's the night before a big game, and Coach says its okay to watch a movie on pay-per-view in your hotel room.  He said to not worry about paying for it--we've got you covered.You've been dying to see the latest Twilight movie.  Here's your chance to watch it without anyone knowing.  Up for a movie?

    • Watch the movie.

    • Better just watch TV. I'm pretty sure the NCAA wouldn't allow this.

    Correct Answer
    A. Watch the movie.
    Explanation
    As far as the NCAA is concerned, this isn't an extra benefit, so it's OK. (ONLY IF COACH ALLOWS IT!)

    16.7.2 Movies in Conjunction with a Home Contest. The institution may rent a film or movie, provide pay-per-view movies in the student-athletes' hotel rooms or take its intercollegiate team to the movies the night before a home contest without the film or movie being considered an extra benefit.
