Question of the Week:
Question: The Big Time University (BTU) men's basketball team will be participating in this year's NCAA Tournament. One of BTU's biggest fans is a 16-year old boy who is a paraplegic. This individual's birthday is next week, and the head coach would like to provide him with a jersey as a present.
Is this permissible?
Answer: Yes.
NCAA Official Interpretation- 10/22/01- Offers and Inducement - Exception (I)- states that Bylaws 13.2.1 and 13.2.2 regarding offers and inducements to prospective student-athletes would not preclude an institution from providing gifts of clothing, equipment or other tangible items to a prospect-aged individual who has no reasonable expectation of participating in intercollegiate athletics as a result of a disability, handicap or terminal illness, provided the recipient of the gift is not a relative of a prospect being recruited by that institution.
