Agent Agr eement Pr i or t o Enrol lment
Hello,
My institution is recruiting a PSA who has presented us wit h a copy of an agreement he signed wit h an agent.
The PSA has i ndi cat ed t o our coaches t hat he never accept ed an y b en ef i t s f r om t he agen t
and t he agreement has since been t erminat ed; of cour se, t his informat ion woul d have t o be ver if i ed t hrough t he amat eurism r evi ew process. The PSA has not yet regist ered wit h t he EC at t his point .
My question is: does the EC staff have some general case review and/or penalty guidelines related to PSAs who have entered into representation agreements with agents prior to collegiate enrollment? I assume
this is a fairly common issue in so would like to give our coaches some guidance on what they can expect from a penalty standpoint if they continue recruiting this PSA.
Thanks,

Alex,
Lori and I wanted to see if we could schedule a call with you, ideally tomorrow, to discuss a
timely issue involving a student-athlete who is
currently unable to make her rent payments due to . We are exploring possible
ways to help and wanted to get the staff’s perspective on any precedent, interpretive or other, that could lead us to a solution.
I’m actually in Orlando right now for Convention, so if you are here I can find you at some point tomorrow. Of course feel free to refer me to
another source on staff if that is more appropriate.
Thanks in advance.

TIMELY: Financial Aid Question
Alex/ Jobrina:
I’m sorry to make an emergency on our campus your emergency, but I’ve been asked to have some initial conversations with the
NCAA t o clarify t he applicat ion of NCAA rules wit h changes being made inst it ut ionally t o our on-campus meal plan st ruct ure. Do
eit her of you have t ime t o talk today, if possible, before 3pm cst/ 4pm est ? If not before then, as soon as possible as
conversat ions are ongoing with our At hlet ics Direct or and campus officials about t he impact on our st udent -at hlet es before final
decisions are made.
So y o u h a v e a l i t t l e b ac k g r o u n d , w e a r e e sse n t i a l l y g o i n g f r o m a d e c l i n i n g d o l l a r s m e a l p l a n t o a r e q u i r e d u n l i m i t e d m e a l p l a n
with $600 declining dollars and based on our understanding of the application of NCAA rules this is going to financially impact our
on-campus student-athletes fairly significantly. I’d like to discuss the following:
1) Is it possible within NCAA rules for our on-campus scholarship SA’s to “opt out” of the unlimited meal plan and provide
our SA’s the value of the unlimited meal plan plus $600 declining dollars as a board stipend. If so, does the ability to “opt
out”
of the meal plan have to be available to students in general as well or can it be specific to student-athletes?;
2)
Does t he unl i mit ed meal plan el i minat e t he need t o deduct t he val ue of t he t raining t able meal si nce t hey ar e alr eady
paying for unlimited meals at institutional dining facilities?
Thank you,
Lor i

a board allowance
that consists of three meals per day or the institution's maximum meal plan that is available to all students, whichever is greater.

Interpretation: The subcommi t t ee cl ar if i ed t hat i f an i nst i t ut i on pr ovi des f i nanci al ai d t o cover t he cost of meal s t hr ough a
declining meal balance system (e.g., debit card system) rather than through a meal plan consisting of a specific number of meals
(e.g., 17-meal plan, 21-meal plan), it is permissible for an institution to provide a student-athlete with a dollar amount for meals
that is equivalent to the maximum board allowance for all students as calculated by the financial aid office and published in the
institution's catalog. [References: Bylaws 15.2.2 (room and board), 15.2.2.1 (off-campus room and board stipend) and 15.2.2.1.2

Interpretation: 4. Providing Stipends to Student-Athletes for Meals Not Received in Institutional Dining Facilities: (I) A student-
at hlet e who resides on- or off-campus and receives a board plan as part of a grant -in-aid may be provided a cash st ipend in an
amount equal t o t he on-campus value of meals covered by t he student -at hlet e's board plan t hat are not received at t he
institution's dining facility, provided institutional policy would permit any student at the institution who receives a board plan to
receive such cash stipend. In determining the amount of the cash stipend, the institution must adhere strictly to its own policies
for calculating the value of the meals received at institutional dining facilities (i.e., if it categorizes and assigns different values to
its breakfast, lunch and dinner meals). For example, if a student-athlete is awarded a 21-meal board plan but elects to receive a
14-meal board plan that specifically includes seven lunch meals and seven dinner meals, then the cash stipend must be
calculat ed based on t he act ual on-campus rat e for t he seven breakfast meals t he st udent -at hlet e would not be receiving at
institutional dining facilities. If the institution does not categorize or assign different values to the meals to be received under
the 14-meal board plan (i.e., the student-athlete is not restricted to receiving a specified number of breakfast, lunch and dinner
meals), the institution may provide a cash stipend equal to the difference between the cash value of the full 21-meal board plan
and t he cash value of t he 14-meal board plan. [Ref erences: Bylaws 15.02.5.1 (full grant -in-aid) and 15.2.2 (room and board)]

Alex/ Jobrina:
I’m sorry to make an emergency on our campus your emergency, but I’ve been asked to have some initial conversations with the
Page 1
7/1/2019
NCAA t o clarify t he applicat ion of NCAA rules wit h changes being made inst it ut ionally t o our on-campus meal plan st ruct ure. Do
eit her of you have t ime t o talk today, if possible, before 3pm cst/ 4pm est ? If not before then, as soon as possible as
conversat ions are ongoing with our At hlet ics Direct or and campus officials about t he impact on our st udent -at hlet es before final
decisions are made.
So y o u h a v e a l i t t l e b ac k g r o u n d , w e a r e e sse n t i a l l y g o i n g f r o m a d e c l i n i n g d o l l a r s m e a l p l a n t o a r e q u i r e d u n l i m i t e d m e a l p l a n
with $600 declining dollars and based on our understanding of the application of NCAA rules this is going to financially impact our
on-campus student-athletes fairly significantly. I’d like to discuss the following:
1) Is it possible within NCAA rules for our on-campus scholarship SA’s to “opt out” of the unlimited meal plan and provide
our SA’s the value of the unlimited meal plan plus $600 declining dollars as a board stipend. If so, does the ability to “opt
out”
of the meal plan have to be available to students in general as well or can it be specific to student-athletes?;
A.Smit h: NCAA legislat ion doesn’t override inst it ut ional policy. If inst it ut ional policy requires t he unlimit ed meal plan
for all students on campus, the same would have to be applied to SA’s, thus, an “opt out”
option must be available to
st ud ent s i n ge ne r al and not i sol at ed t o SA’ s ot h er w i se yo u w oul d be l ooki n g at an ext r a be ne f i t i ssue i n t ha t i t ’ s bei ng
provided to SA’s when not generally available to other students.
2)
Does t he unl i mit ed meal plan el i minat e t he need t o deduct t he val ue of t he t raining t able meal si nce t hey ar e alr eady
paying for unlimited meals at institutional dining facilities?
A.Smit h: You would not have t o deduct t he training t able cost for on-campus st udent -at hlet es on full board who have
the unlimited meal plan. However, you would need to determine a meal cost and deduct it for those not on full board
sch ol a r shi p or f or of f - ca mpus SA’ s on f u l l boa r d, bu t no t payi n g f or an unl i mi t ed me al pl a n.

declining meal balance system (e.g., debit card system) rather than through a meal plan consisting of a specific number of meals

that is equivalent to the maximum board allowance for all students as calculated by the financial aid office and published in the

Interpretation: 4. Providing Stipends to Student-Athletes for Meals Not Received in Institutional Dining Facilities: (I) A student-
at hlet e who resides on- or off-campus and receives a board plan as part of a grant -in-aid may be provided a cash st ipend in an
amount equal t o t he on-campus value of meals covered by t he student -at hlet e's board plan t hat are not received at t he
institution's dining facility, provided institutional policy would permit any student at the institution who receives a board plan to
receive such cash stipend. In determining the amount of the cash stipend, the institution must adhere strictly to its own policies
for calculating the value of the meals received at institutional dining facilities (i.e., if it categorizes and assigns different values to
its breakfast, lunch and dinner meals). For example, if a student-athlete is awarded a 21-meal board plan but elects to receive a
14-meal board plan that specifically includes seven lunch meals and seven dinner meals, then the cash stipend must be
calculat ed based on t he act ual on-campus rat e for t he seven breakfast meals t he st udent -at hlet e would not be receiving at
institutional dining facilities. If the institution does not categorize or assign different values to the meals to be received under
the 14-meal board plan (i.e., the student-athlete is not restricted to receiving a specified number of breakfast, lunch and dinner
meals), the institution may provide a cash stipend equal to the difference between the cash value of the full 21-meal board plan
and t he cash value of t he 14-meal board plan. [Ref erences: Bylaws 15.02.5.1 (full grant -in-aid) and 15.2.2 (room and board)]

Hi LaGwyn,
I hope you’re well!
Thi ngs ar e r ol l i ng al ong her e!
I need your feedback on a wall I’m running into.
I have been working to change all the OTC dietary supplements (Vitamin D, calcium, etc.) we provide to
3
rd
party
tested products.
I have been unsuccessful in finding an iron that is 3
rd
party tested and provides the iron we need to provide.
The
product we have given for years comes from the UT pharmacy, but is not 3
rd
party tested.
The onl y one I can f i nd t hat i s 3
rd
party tested has trace amounts of leucine as an ingredient. https:/ /
www.thorne.com/products/dp/ iron-bisglycinate
I was told this is used in processing for binding/ flow vs other agents that can impact absorption. It is a trace
amount of leucine, significant ly under what would be required t o t urn on mTOR, which was t he int ent ion of t he
rule for no individual amino acids.
Also, t he pr oduct is not promot ed as a muscle building supplement , it ’ s clearly
marketed as an iron supplement.
Is this a product that we could provide for our SAs to provide increased assurance of safety and decreased risk of
cont aminat ion of banned substances knowing t hat t he amount of leucine is t oo low t o st imulat e muscle prot ein
synt hesi s?
Thank you f or your i nsi ght . Pl ease l et m e kn o w of qu est i o n s.

I apologize that I was confusing financial aid legislation and the new voluntary withdrawal language.
As your SA did withdraw prior to the first scheduled contest, the situation does

Hello,
My institution is recruiting a PSA who has present ed a copy of an agreement he signed wit h an agent .
The PSA has i ndi cat ed t o our coaches t hat he never accept ed an y b en ef i t s f r om t he agen t and
the agreement has since been terminated; of course, this information would have to be verified through the amateurism review process.
My question is: does the EC staff have some general case review and/or penalty guidelines related to PSAs who have entered into representation agreements with agents prior to collegiate enrollment? I assume
this is a fairly common issue in so would like to give our coaches some guidance on what they can expect from a penalty standpoint if they continue recruiting this PSA.
Thanks,
Bl ake

Blake,
Thanks for your email. New Orleans was great, and that was quite a game. Bevo setting the tone early on was the key!
I’m happy to discuss starting points for analysis in these types of cases. Next week I’m pretty available Monday afternoon and Thursday morning.
Either would work. Let me know what date/time is good for you and I’ll get it on my calendar so I make sure I’m available.
Thanks,
Brad
