Thanks again to the TROY and Big East compliance teams.
Head Men’s Soccer Coach at Bay State College is very good friends with the Athletic Director at a local high school (which the coach did not attend). The Athletic Director asked the coach to donate an autographed soccer ball to be auctioned in an upcoming fundraiser for the high school. May the coach donate the item for the high school fundraiser since he and the Athletic Director are close friends?
Yes
No
The answer is B- no. NCAA Bylaw 13.15.1.2 states that an institution may not provide funding, directly or through paid advertisements, to benefit a high school athletics program. Violations of this bylaw do not affect a prospective student-athlete's eligibility and are considered institutional violations per Constitution 2.8.1.
