Compliance
Boosters and Extra Benefits W
ith the school year quickly approaching and student-athletes getting back to work in the classroom and on the field, the Compliance Team at Florida State University wants to remind you about NCAA rules regarding “extra benefits.” An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a representative of the institution’s athletic interests (“booster”) that provides a student-athlete or a relative or friend of a student-athlete a benefit not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation. Receiving a benefit by a student-athlete or friends or relatives is not a violation if it is demonstrated that the same benefit is available to the institution’s students or their friends or relatives. It is also not a violation if the benefit is available to a particular segment of the student body that is not determined based on athletic ability, such as international or minority students. There are numerous benefits that can be provided to a student-athlete or relative or friend of a student-athlete that are deemed to be impermissible. Some examples of these benefits include cash, loans, special discounts, direct purchase of merchandise, free or reduced-cost housing and covering educational expenses (note that this is not an exhaustive list). In addition, please note that a currently enrolled student-athlete or a relative or friend of a current student-athlete may not sell his or her apparel (e.g., jerseys, shoes, helmets), awards (e.g., rings, trophies, letterman gifts) or complimentary game admissions. However, not all benefits are impermissible. For instance, it would be permissible for a booster to provide an occasional meal to an individual student-athlete or an entire team, provided it is on-campus, or in your home or at a facility regularly used for competition. Please check with the Compliance Team prior to hosting an occasional meal as we have a simple form that will need to be completed. The compliance office is dedicated to providing educational programs and interpretive support to ensure that all individuals involved with the athletics program understand and adhere to the university’s compliance expectations. If you have any questions regarding extra benefits please contact the office with any questions at (850) 644-4272 or via e-mail at ath-compliance@fsu. edu. You can now also follow us on Twitter (@FSUcompliance) and Facebook (FSU Compliance)! Thanks for your continued support of Seminole Athletics. Go Noles!
