COMPLIANCE TRIVIA

• Ocean State University men's tennis team will
  still be in their season when summer school
  starts next week.  The coaches would like to move
  practice from 4pm to 10am during the week.  NCAA
  Bylaw 17.1.6.6.1 states that it is not
  permissible for a student-athlete to miss class
  during the academic year for practice activities
  except when traveling to an away from home
  contest and the practice is in conjunction with
  the contest. 

• Can a student-athlete miss class during summer
  school to participate in practice?

15
TRIVIA ANSWER

• No.  NCAA Staff Interpretation- 6/11/10- Missed
  Class Time for Practice Activities (I)- states
  that a student-athlete may not miss class at any
  time (e.g., regular academic term, mini term,
  summer term) for practice activities, except when
  a team is traveling to an away-from-home contest
  and the practice is in conjunction with the
  contest.

Student-Athlete Reinstatement/Secondary Case

• Institution Action Institution required SA to
  make a donation to a charity of her choice in the
  amount she paid to the coach for the tickets. In
  addition, institution issued a letter of
  admonishment to assistant coach and will provide
  a rules education session to the women's
  basketball staff regarding applicable
  legislation.
• Eligibility Action Eligibility reinstated based
  on institution's action requiring SA to donate
  the value of tickets to a charity of her choice.

• Facts Assistant women's basketball coach
  arranged for a women's basketball student-athlete
  to purchase four tickets at face value to a
  football game October 11, 2008. Specifically,
  assistant coach sold four tickets to a regularly
  scheduled football game to SA. SA paid the coach
  face value (35) for each ticket. The game was
  not sold out and SA could have purchased the
  tickets at the regular ticket window. Violation
  was discovered when the women's basketball staff
  contacted the compliance staff to inquire whether
  the activity constituted a violation. At that
  time, the coach returned the money to the
  institution.

• Contact and Conditioning Activities Outside of
  thePlaying Season (I)
• Date Published March 23, 2012
• Type Staff Interpretation
• Interpretation The academic and membership
  affairs staff determined that required
  conditioning activities outside the playing
  season may not include contact-related drills or
  activities (e.g., wrestling, combative
  activities, blocking drills). Further, the staff
  determined that the use of training or resistance
  sleds in required conditioning activities is
  permissible, provided such equipment is not
  related to the sport (e.g., blocking sleds in
  football).
