Extra Benefits

An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a representative of the institution's athletics interests to provide a student-athlete (or his/her friends or relatives) a benefit that is not generally available to general public or student body, or is not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation (NCAA Bylaw 16.02.3). Common examples of extra benefits that a student-athlete may NOT receive include, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:
  • Money, special discounts, payment arrangement or credit on a purchase (e.g., airline ticket, clothing) or a service (e.g., laundry, dry cleaning);
  • Free or reduced cost for professional services that are not available on the same basis to the general student body;
  • Use of a telephone or credit card for personal reasons without charge or at a reduced rate;
  • Entertainment services (e.g., movie tickets, dinners, use of car) from commercial agencies (e.g., movie theaters, restaurants, car dealers) without charge or at a reduced rate, 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;
  • A loan of money, a guarantee of a bond, an automobile or the use of an automobile, or signing or co-signing a note with an outside agency to arrange a loan; or
  • Anything given to a student-athlete based on his/her status as a student-athlete.
