a sport’s roster.
Who is eligible to receive a special event (e.g., ACC or NCAA post-season) award? Awards for participation
in special events may be provided only to student-athletes eligible to participate in the competition.
QUESTION #6
Must all participation awards be given uniformly?YES. All student-athletes must be
provided an award that is uniform within a category (e.g., senior participation awards may be different than underclassmen participation awards).
QUESTION #7
What is included in the value of an award? Award? Award + Taxes? Award + Taxes + Shipping and Handling? Award at discounted rate? Award at discounted rate + Taxes + Shipping + Handling? Award at normal retail value with taxes and shipping and handling? Normal-retail value must be assigned as the value of an award when
determining whether an award meets specified value limits, even when a member institution receives institutional awards from an athletics representative or organization free of charge or at a special reduced rate. Normal-retail value is the cost to the institution that is based solely on volume and is available to all purchasers of a similar volume and that does not involve an obligation to make additional purchases to enable the supplier to recover the costs for the original purchase.
QUESTION #8
May a gift certificate be presented as an award? Yes. A gift certificate is a permissible award
provided the certificates are for merchandise only (i.e., not refundable for cash).
QUESTION #9
May awards be presented on a “senior night”? Awards, like framed jerseys, may be “presented”
on a senior awards night prior to the conclusion of a sport’s regular playing season, BUT it is NOT permissible for a student-athlete to be given an annual participation award to keep until the conclusion of the institution's regular playing season in that sport.
QUESTION #10
May parents/legal guardians of student-athletes be presented with “Parents’ Night” Flowers? Yes. The Compliance Office must be notified and
be provided with the receipts prior to the competition so a waiver can be processed on your
sport’s behalf.
QUESTION #11 Is awarding a game ball a permissible
activity? It is not permissible to award game balls to student-
athletes for specialized performances in particular contests or events or during a limited time period (e.g., "player of the game" or "player of the week").
However, an institution may provide a game ball to a student-athlete only on an occasional basis to recognize an extraordinary achievement (e.g., career achievement, establishing an institutional record). This type of award would be listed as a special achievement award.
QUESTION #12

and athletic department staff

Who must pay in order to attend?: Relatives of current and
former team members Friends of current and former
