Bylaw B 16.1.7.4
16 Awards and Benefits
1 Awards
7 Expenses to Receive Noninstitutional Awards
4 Awards expenses from media
A student athlete may accept actual and necessary
transprtation expenses from a magazine or other
media enterprise (e.g., newspaper, radio station,
television network) for travel to a particular
location (outside a 30 mile radius of the community
in which the student athlete's institution is
located) in order to have a photograph or film taken
or a story written about him or her, but only if the
photograph, film, or story is in conjunction with
receipt of an established award at that location.
Application of Legislation:
Further to the above, the NCAA legislative services staff has
determined that expenses that an SA is not permitted to
receive may not be awarded to SA's relatives or friends.
Institution request:
Waive the normal application of the Expense from media rule in
this situation because the SA's family had been experiencing
financial difficulties and the institution hopes the good that
they have done in sharing their story will not be a financial
penalty.
Action:
Appeal granted.
Special Circumstances:
The SA sustained a head injury during a hockey contest that
left him unconscious. The head coach and the institution's
physician's assistant performed CPR to revive the SA. The
impact the SA sustained resulted in bleeding between the brain
and skull, and the SA remained in a coma for 4 1/2 days. The
SA returned to the ice the following October. The television
program Rescue 911 has done a story on the SA that will be
aired next season. The SA's family, who participated in the
taping of the show, would like to be reimbursed for actual
travel expenses, meals, lodging, and lost-wage expenses.
Without this reimbursement, the family would suffer a
financial hardship.
