Awards and Benefits for Enrolled Student-Athletes General Rule 16.12.1.1: Receipt of a benefit (including otherwise prohibited extra benefits by students, their relatives or friends) is not a violation of NCAA rules if it is demonstrated that the same benefit is generally available to the institution's student, their relatives or friends. A. Complimentary Admissions and Ticket Benefits: CSUF adheres strictly to the NCAA regulations regarding admissions and ticket benefits for student-athletes. All ticket benefits are handled by the CSUF athletics ticket manager, with records kept in that office. Permissible Procedures (Bylaw 16.2.1) 2. Tournaments Bylaw 16.2.1.1.3: Complimentary admissions may be provided to members of the institution's team for all contests in a tournament in which the team is participating. However the contests must be at the site at which the institution's team participates. 3. Division I Regulations Bylaw 16.2.1.2: Complimentary admissions shall be provided only through a pass list for individuals designated by the student-athlete. "Hard tickets" shall not be issued. 4. Issuance Procedures Bylaw 16.2.1.2.1: The individual utilizing the complimentary admission must present identification to the person supervising the use of the pass list at the admission gate. 5. Home Contests in Other Sports Bylaw 16.2.1.5: An institution may provide admission for each student-athlete to all of the institution's regular-season home intercollegiate athletics contests, in sports other than that in which the student-athlete is a participant, via a printed student-athlete pass or gate list. Proof of identity shall be required upon admission. Non-Permissible procedures (Bylaw 16.2.2) 1. Sale of Complimentary Admissions (Bylaw 16.2.2.1): A student-athlete may not receive payment from any source for his or her complimentary admissions and may not exchange or assign them for any item of value. 2. Payment to Third Party (Bylaw 16.2.2.2): Individuals designated by the student-athlete to receive complimentary admissions are not permitted to receive any type of payment for these admissions or to exchange or assign them for any item of value. Receipt of payment for complimentary admissions by such designated individuals is prohibited and considered an extra benefit not available to the general student body, which would render the student-athlete ineligible for participation in intercollegiate athletics. 3. Student-Athlete ticket Purchases (Bylaw 16.2.2.3): An institution may not provide a special arrangement to sell a student-athlete ticket(s) to an athletics event. Tickets shall be available for purchase by student-athletes according to the same purchasing procedures used for other students. 4. Sale Above Face Value (Bylaw 16.2.2.4): A student-athlete may not purchase tickets for an athletics contest from the institution and then sell the tickets at a price greater than their face value. 5. Professional Sports Tickets (Bylaw 16.2.2.5): An institution or any representative of its athletics interests may not purchase or otherwise obtain tickets to a professional sports contest and make these tickets available to student-athletes enrolled in an NCAA member institution. Such a gift of tickets would represent an unacceptable extra benefit. (See 16.7.1.1 for permissible providing of professional sports tickets as team entertainment related to an away-from-home contest.) B. Awards 1. Permissible Awards, Student-Athlete Representing Institution Bylaw 16.1.1.2: The awards limitations of 16.1 apply to awards received by a student-athlete while enrolled at CSF during the academic year (i.e., from the beginning of the fall term through completion of the spring term, including any intervening vacation period) as a regular student with a minimum full-time academic load, or awards received by a student-athlete while representing his/her institution at any other time. These limitations include such areas as: types, value, and number of awards, or all-star awards; championships; awards banquets; and non-institutional awards. 2. Non-permissible Awards Bylaw 14.01.3.2: Receipt by a student-athlete of non-permissible awards, extra benefits, or excessive or improper expenses not authorized by NCAA legislation violates the NCAA's amateurism principle and renders the student-athlete ineligible for athletics participation in the sport for which the improper award benefits, or expense was received.
Chapter Related Forms: A summary of forms related to awards and benefits. Automobile Information: In an effort to monitor prohibited benefits in regard to use of automobiles, each athlete is required to complete the automobile information sheet each year. It is then kept on file in the Director of Athletics' office in the student-athlete's individual file. Meal Money Signature Sheet: During team travel, when cash is given to student-athletes for meal money, each student-athlete is required to sign for the amount he/she receives. The coach must turn in this form with other expense receipts for the trip to the business office for monitoring. Complimentary Admission Requests: Each student-athlete and coach is eligible to receive four complimentary tickets through a pass list for each one of his/her events or games. The student-athlete/coach fills out a pass request list at the athletics ticket office. From this list, the ticket manager compiles a list to be used at the gate for admission. Identification of the recipient is required for admission. These sheets are kept on file in the ticket office and monitored by the ticket manager. Equipment
