Thanks to the TROY and Big East compliance teams.
Classes are not in session next Monday at State University in observance of President’s day. The women’s tennis coach has decided to provide her team with a day off, so the student-athletes can catch up on their studies.
If the student-athletes do not participate in any countable athletically related activities today, can the coach use this vacation day as their required day off?
Yes. NCAA Bylaw 17.1.6.4.4 states that it is permissible to use a vacation day to satisfy the day-off-per-week requirement.
