Summer Time: Camps, Clinics, Apparel and Awards In accordance with Bylaw 13.12.1.5.4, PSAs may receive material benefits (e.g., awards, prizes, apparel) from an institution's sports camp or clinic only if the cost of the material benefits is included in the admissions fees charged for the camp or clinic. The following questions and answers are designed to assist you in the correct application of these bylaws. Provision of Apparel and Awards Question: May an institution provide apparel and/or other merchandise (e.g., equipment, posters, gifts) to camp or clinic participants? Answer: Yes, an institution may provide apparel and/or merchandise to camp and clinic participants, provided the total cost of the items is included in each camp or clinic participant's admissions fee. If the cost of the items is not included in each participant's admissions fee, then the institution is providing participants an impermissible benefit. For example, if an institution provides each camp participant a basketball and a shirt valued at $45 but the camp admissions fee for each participant is only $40, the institution has provided an impermissible benefit to each participant who received those items. Question: May an institution provide apparel and/or other merchandise (e.g., equipment, posters, gifts) that it receives free of charge or at a reduced rate to camp participants without including the normal retail cost of the item(s) in the participants admissions fee? Answer: No, the institution must assign normal-retail value to the item(s) it provides to camp participants regardless of whether the institution received the item(s) free of charge or at a reduced rate. The normal-retail value of the item(s) must be included in the participants' admissions fee. Question: Per Bylaw 13.12.1.5.4, the cost of awards received by PSAs at an institutional camp or clinic must be included in the admissions fees charged to participants at the camp. Does the full cost of each award have to be included in the admissions fee for each camp participant even though not all camp participants will receive an award? For example, if all awards provided at the camp cost $100, does the $100 have to be included in each camp participant's admissions fee? Answer: No, the full cost of each award does not need to be included in each participant's admissions fees. However, the full cost of the awards must be included collectively in the admissions fee for all camp participants. For example, if the total cost of all awards to be given out at an institutional camp or clinic is $100 and the camp attendance is capped at 100 participants, each individual admissions fee would have to include an additional $1 used to cover the awards provided at the camp or clinic.

If you were hired or added to a staff on January 1, 2010 or more recently you are required to attend. Next Session: May 31@ 10:00am Compliance office in BRTW Jordan Redavid, 5-3055 [email protected]

NCAA Eligibility Center Introduces Enhanced High School Portal To better serve high school administrators, a new portal will launch May 3 featuring enhanced functionality and new search functions. This new site will allow high school administrators to: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Review their high school's list of NCAA courses; Submit changes to their list of NCAA courses; Run reports on registered students to determine receipt of transcripts, test scores and fee waiver status; Submit fee waivers; and Access an extensive resource and information page.
Getting Ready For Summer Certifications The Eligibility Center will prioritize academic certifications this summer the same as in the past. Final academic certifications will be prioritized by the date a file is "Ready to Process" and Institutional Request List (IRL) activation date. The final "Ready to Process" date is when the Eligibility Center has all of the following: payment; all transcripts (including a final transcript with proof of graduation); a test score; and any other necessary documents. Additionally, there should be no open academic tasks for the prospective student-athlete to complete. The best way to get your prospective student-athletes certified quickly is to be proactive, make sure all of your prospective student-athletes' academic tasks are complete and that final transcripts with proof of graduation are sent to the Eligibility Center soon after graduation occurs.
