The following restrictions apply to high school, preparatory school and two-‐year college coaches or any other individual responsible for teaching or directing an activity in which a prospective student-‐athlete is involved (e.g., Director of Athletics, club team coach, AAU coach).
ENTERTAINMENT
• Entertainment is limited to providing a maximum of two (2) complimentary admissions (issued only through a pass list) to home collegiate athletics events or any facility within a 30-‐mile radius of an institution’s main campus. Complimentary admissions may provide seating only in the general seating area of the facility throughout the conduct of the event (including halftime). It is not permissible for coaches to watch an institution’s contest from the facility’s press box, special seating box(es), bench area or sidelines. Ball State University may not reserve tickets for a high school, preparatory school or two-‐year college coach (in addition to the permissible complimentary admissions) to attend a home athletics event. Tickets may be purchased in the same manner as any other member of the general public. • Entertainment shall not include food, refreshments, room expenses or the cost of transportation to and from the campus. • Ball State University coaching staff members are prohibited from spending funds to entertain a prospective student-‐ athlete’s coach on-‐ or off-‐ Ball State University’s campus. • It is not permissible to provide complimentary admissions to away-‐from-‐home competitions or postseason competition (e.g., NCAA championship, conference tournament, bowl game). Tickets may be purchased in the same manner as any other member of the general public. • If a high school, preparatory school or two-‐year college coach is a member of a non-‐coaching related organization (e.g., state high school principals association, college fraternity alumni organization, institution’s alumni association), an institution may entertain the group, provided there is no direct involvement by the institution’s athletics department.
TRANSPORTATION
• Ball State University may not reimburse a high school, preparatory school or two-‐year college coach for expenses incurred in transporting a prospective student-‐athlete to visit campus. • If a high school, preparatory school or two-‐year college coach transports members of his or her athletics squad to an off-‐campus site to watch NCAA member institutions compete, an institution may not reimburse the coach for transportation costs or provide complimentary tickets for the coach or any of the team members.

BENEFITS
• It is not permissible for an institution to provide a material benefit to a high school, preparatory school or two-‐year college coach or any other individual responsible for teaching or directing an activity in which a prospective student-‐ athlete is involved. Prohibited material benefits include tangible items bearing Ball State University’s insignia, the offer to pay a portion of the coach’s or other individual’s personal expenses, compensation based on the number of campers sent to a Ball State University camp/clinic, or an arrangement to provide transportation for the coach or other individual. • An institution may not provide gifts to high school, preparatory school or two-‐year college coaches in conjunction with its coaches’ camp/clinic or other events. This specifically prohibits the provision of a door prize to the coach, even if the cost of the prize is included in the admission fee. Materials (e.g., clipboards, file folders) may be provided to each person attending the camp/clinic, provided the items are included in the registration or admission fee. • Boosters are prohibited from providing any benefit (e.g., meals, cash) to the coach of any prospective student-‐ athlete, including AAU and club team coaches.
EMPLOYMENT
• A high school, preparatory school or two-‐year college coach remains associated with the high school, preparatory school or two-‐year college in a coaching capacity in a different sport shall be permitted to engage in part-‐time employment as a member of an institution’s coaching staff. • A high-‐school, preparatory school or two-‐year college coach who remains associated with the high school, preparatory school or two-‐year college in a coaching capacity in the same sport shall not be employed as a member of an institution's coaching staff.
