COMMITMENT TO COMPLIANCE The California State University, Stanislaus, as a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, is responsible for insuring that its various constituencies (e.g. student-athletes, alumni, friends, boosters, coaches, staff, and faculty) comply with NCAA rules and regulations.

The California State University, Stanislaus is committed to the principle of institutional control in operating its athletics program in a manner that is consistent with the letter and spirit of NCAA, conference and university rules and regulations. The information contained in this handbook is provided to offer a general overview of key NCAA rules. It is to be used in conjunction with the NCAA Manual.

Any inquiries with regard to compliance related issues must be directed immediately to Kim Duyst, Associate Director of Athletics for Compliance, as it is your responsibility to report any potential violations.

ATHLETICS MISSION AND VISION STATEMENTS Vision Statement Provide a championship caliber environment for student-athletes.

Mission Statement The Department of Athletics is committed to creating an environment where each individual and team reaches its full potential and becomes a source of University and community pride. The Department motivates behavior that creates academic achievement, self-discipline, group loyalty, sportsmanship and personal integrity, hard work, perseverance and pride of accomplishment. We believe these qualities lead to the attainment of skills necessary for success in academics, athletics and most importantly life-long learning. Community The University is committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive and collaborative community accentuated by a spirit of freedom and charity, and marked by protection of the rights and dignity of the individual. The University values students, faculty and staff from different backgrounds and faith traditions, and is committed to creating an atmosphere of trust, safety and respect in a community characterized by a rich diversity of people and ideas.

Ethical Conduct The University provides a values-based education that informs the development of ethical judgment and behavior. The University seeks to develop ethical and responsible leaders committed to the common good who are empowered to engage a diverse and changing world.

Policy Prohibiting Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation Against Students CSU Stanislaus is committed to providing an educational environment in which students, faculty and staff work together in an atmosphere free from discrimination on the basis of sex, race, color, creed, national origin, religion or disability in its programs and activities. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination based on sex in educational programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance. Sex discrimination under Title IX includes sexual harassment, sexual assault and sexual violence by employees, students or third parties. The university does not permit discrimination or harassment in our programs or

5

activities. Students who believe they have been subjected to discrimination or harassment in violation of this policy should follow the procedure outlined in Executive Order 1074 (www.http:/www.calstate.edu/eo/EO-1074.html) to report these concerns. Students who wish to report a concern or complaint relating to discrimination or harassment may do so by reporting the concern to the university Title IX coordinator: Dennis Shimek at dshimek@csustan.edu or (209)667-3351 or Associate Athletic Director Kim Duyst at kduyst@csustan.edu or (209)667-3312. NCAA RULES EDUCATION Rules education is a critical part of the rules compliance program. Education and knowledge of institutional and NCAA rules are the first steps in maintaining compliance and upholding the integrity of CSU Stanislaus. Although coaches and staff are not expected to know every NCAA rule, they are expected to know the basic rules, to use the NCAA Division II Manual as a reference point, and to ask for interpretations from the Compliance Coordinator before acting when a rule or situation seems unclear. The rules education provided prepares coaches and staff to identify areas where compliance problems may exist and to identify infractions, should they occur. The rules education program is also intended to inform coaches and staff of proposals and changes to NCAA rules throughout the legislative process. The Associate Athletic Director for Compliance is responsible for providing rules education to the groups identified below:

Head and Assistant Coaches

The Compliance Coordinator schedules and conducts rules education meetings throughout the year

A. An athletic department compliance meeting is held at the beginning of the academic year to review NCAA rules, regulations and procedures for the upcoming year.

B. Monthly rules education updates are held at staff meetings to discuss important information relevant to the time of year, as well as new information or rules interpretations that have recently been issued.

C. Monthly Compliance Newsletters are emailed to all coaches. Interpretations of legislation and “hot topics” will be distributed via email to all coaches, as necessary.

Any individual who utilizes any vehicle must possess a valid California driver’s license and must have taken the State of California Defensive Driving class. This class is offered online and is valid for a period of four years. In extreme cases, the Office of Public Safety can issue a waiver for a six-month time period. This does not exclude the recipient from the need to take the course but does allow a brief “grace” period so as not to inhibit normal business operations. The individual is expected to complete the Defensive Driving course as soon as possible. PERSONAL VEHICLE USE A staff member may use their personal vehicle for state-related travel, if desired. A travel request must be on file in the department, the individual must sign and affidavit annually stating that they possess a valid California Driver’s License and hold the necessary amount of vehicular insurance. The individual must also have completed the Defensive Driving course as outline above. Reimbursement for mileage will be at the prevailing State of California rate as approve by the Chancellor’s Office. Gas receipts are not paid in addition to the mileage rate.

14

REIMBURSEMENT Reimbursement is permissible for all business-related travel that does not require an overnight stay, including local travel. Receipts for all incurred expenses for which you desire reimbursement are required. Permissible items for reimbursement include: meals, tolls, admission fees, parking fees, gasoline for a rental vehicle and mileage for a personal vehicle and other miscellaneous expenses incurred while traveling and scouting. All original detailed receipts pertaining to the trip(s) must be taped to a plain piece of paper. Accounting requires that any restaurant receipt show the name of the restaurant, its address, and the date. If more than one person eats on your bill (i.e... another coach, a recruit, etc.), you must write their name(s) on the receipt. An original restaurant receipt verifying the absence of alcohol expense is required for reimbursements. (APPENDIX I)

Once assembled, all forms must be attached and submitted to the Athletic Office for certification by the Budget Analyst. After being signed by the Director of Athletics, designated copies are removed and the remaining packet is returned to the claimant (you). It is strongly recommended that copies of all travel vouchers and reimbursement request forms be retained for your records. The Athletic Department Budget Analyst will forward your claim for processing. Coaches are encouraged to participate in the Direct Deposit program for expense reimbursement. TRANSFER PROCEDURES • Coaches must obtain a release before engaging in conversation with a student-athlete at a 4-year

institution. If a coach is contacted by a prospective 4-year transfer or hears about the potential of a transfer, the head coach must request a permission to contact through the Associate Athletic Director for Compliance. The Associate Athletic Director for Compliance will send a tracer form to the 4-year institution and will notify the coaching staff via email of whether permission is granted. Forward any emails directly to the Associate Athletic Director for Compliance. No communication between CSU Stanislaus coaches and 4-year prospects should take place until the notification is received.

• If any CSU Stanislaus student-athlete requests to be released, no action will be taken until the head coach is aware of the situation and has given permission for the student-athlete to explore the transfer. Once this is determined, the permission to contact form will be sent to the school (s) involved. Eligibility will be verified prior to the transfer.

• Blanket releases are sent on a case by case basis.

Required Recruiting Documentation

Mailings Coaches are expected to follow the principles of Bylaw 13.4.1. Additionally, this bylaw details dates on when mailings may occur and the content that may be sent to a prospect throughout the recruitment process. Any items not specifically listed in this bylaw must be directed through the Compliance office prior to the mailing.

15

ADMISSIONS Each coach is responsible for their sports admission process and is to work with the Athletic Academic Advisor. Coaches are expected to treat this staff with respect and to follow through with requests and deadlines in a timely manner. Coaches are also expected to respect admission decisions. Any appeals on admission decisions must go through the Director of Athletics.

• Coaches should encourage recruits to apply online and have transcripts sent to CSU Stanislaus as soon as possible because of deadlines.

• Students must declare their intent to enroll and pay a $200.00 deposit by May 1st .

• Any requests for special admits must be submitted to the Athletic Director with rationale for review.

Your academic success rates for the special admits will be monitored. ORIENTATION The Athletic Academic Advisor and Director of Compliance will attend the new student orientations to make sure your student-athletes are in the required classes. It is important to make sure we have updated rosters so we know who is attending orientation. Students cannot attend orientation until they have been admitted and tested (or exempt from testing). They can register for orientation online once they have been admitted. SPECIAL ADMISSIONS PROGRAM The Special Admissions program is designed to afford students whose academic credentials fall just below traditional standards an educational opportunity at CSU Stanislaus. This is a campus-wide program that has specific limits on the number of students that may be admitted annually. The Athletic Director must approve requests for Special Admissions prior to any discussion with the Director of Admissions. The Athletic Academic Advisor, Associate Athletic Director and Director of Athletics jointly serve for the Department of Athletics as liaison to the Admissions Department in regard to applicants with special talents. Usually, each coach is asked to identify, and rank, prospective student-athletes who may be in need of a special admission due to lower than average (for the University) standardized test scores, low grade point averages, or may be missing a specific transfer class. The Admissions Department reviews the special admissions candidates by virtue of departmental recommendation and other supplemental material that normally does not play a role in traditional acceptance. Banquets, Meetings and NCAA Promotional Activities (NCAA Bylaw 13.1.9)

Policy for Participating in Speaking Engagements Coaches are often asked to speak to groups involving prospects and non-prospects alike. In order to ensure compliance with Bylaw 13.1.9 coaches are required to receive prior approval from Compliance by completing and submitting the Speaking Engagement Form. (APPENDIX J)

A prospective student-athlete may remain in the locale in which the institution is located after the permissible 48-hour period for reasons unrelated to the official visit, provided that at the completion of the 48-hour visit, the individual departs the institution’s campus, and the institution does not pay any expenses thereafter, including the cost of return transportation to the prospective student-athlete’s home. Additionally, if the prospective student-athlete does not return home before attending the institution, the one-way transportation to the campus would be considered a violation of Bylaw 13.5.4, which prohibits transportation to enroll.

Official Visit Policy (PUT IN BOX LIKE UNOFFICIAL VISIT)

Compliance must be notified in writing through submission of the Official Visit Form prior to all visits. Upon approval of the visit, each head coach will receive an email confirmation that the visit has been approved. No visit shall take place until a confirmation has been received. While on a visit, coaches and student-hosts are expected to follow all of the guidelines that have been set forth in this policy.

A student-host must be a current student-athlete. Each coach is responsible for selecting their student-host and is required to educate them on both NCAA legislation and CSUS Policy for student-hosts. Specifically, this would include:

• No drinking of alcohol or use of drugs, gambling or sex activities with/or in the presence of the prospect (on or off campus). There is a zero tolerance for any of these activities.

17

• All entertainment and transportation must take place within a 30-mile radius of campus. The transportation and entertainment must be considered reasonable. This would exclude personal use of airplanes, boats, limousines or special seating arrangements at sporting events, to name a few examples. Students arriving on campus via plane that is paid by the university must fly coach (no first class or other special arrangements). Additionally, students must be picked up at the airport by a university employee (i.e. coach, administrator, or administrative staff).

• Entertainment money provided by the university is to be used for the prospect within a 30 mile radius of CSUS. This entertainment must be consistent with NCAA Regulations and is not to be used to purchase alcohol or drugs. Prospects may not use the money to purchase gifts (i.e. CSUS shirts, Sweatshirts, etc.). Entertainment money may not be given directly to the prospect; it must be administered by the student-host. Special events, such as a concert or sporting event will require receipts.

• One student host per prospect may be present during a paid meal with a prospect. Meals are to be at a reasonable cost. Only the following individuals may attend a meal at an off campus site: prospects, prospect’s parents (or guardian or spouse), coach, and athletic administrator. No university employees outside the athletic department (i.e. faculty) may be present at an off campus meal. On campus meals may include faculty and non-athletic department staff members.

All CSUS athletic events that require tickets must be approved through a pass list by the Associate Athletic Director for Compliance. Prospects and those accompanying a prospect must be issued tickets through this pass list. It is the coach’s responsibility to oversee the prospect in a professional manner while they are on our campus. Every effort should be made to house prospects on campus. Off campus housing of prospects must be approved by the Associate Athletic Director for Compliance. A prospect must stay with a current enrolled student-athlete.

Based on availability, every attempt should be made to have the prospect meet with either the academic counselor and/or a member of the academic side of the campus community to discuss the academic environment and opportunities available on campus.

Student-athletes, coaches and administrators not adhering to the above policies may receive sanctions determined by the Director of Athletics and Associate Athletic Director for Compliance.

Prospects are also expected to adhere to the above guidelines. Prospects that fail to follow university procedures may jeopardize their recruitment to the California State University, Stanislaus.

Coaches are required to meet with all student-hosts to review the department policies as well as their team policies regarding hosting prospects on visits. Student-hosts will sign a form stating that they are aware of the department’s policies surrounding official visits and that they will be held accountable if any of these regulations are not followed.

ELIGIBILITY (NCAA Bylaw 14. 3)

The Athletic Academic Advisor is the contact person for student-athlete eligibility within Athletics. The Athletic Academic Advisor monitors initial, transfer and continuing eligibility and prepares the necessary documentation for review. A new or continuing student-athlete is not allowed to compete until the Athletic Academic Advisor has reviewed their eligibility and certified them for competition.

The Athletic Academic Advisor maintains a working eligibility certification list for each team (see below). The eligibility certification list is regularly updated by the Athletic Academic Advisor when student-athletes have been certified for competition. The eligibility certification list is signed by the FAR, Athletics Academic Advisor and Dean of Admissions prior to the first date of competition. Only those student-athletes listed as eligible for competition may compete. If student-athletes become eligible after the first eligibility certification list has been signed, a new list is produced by the Athletic Academic Advisor with appropriate signatures. Eligibility of Official Travel Party and Independent Travel Release

Based on the current eligibility certification list at that time, an official travel party list must be approved by the Associate Athletic Director for Compliance, prior to each away trip. Only student-athletes who are listed as eligible for competition and who have been officially certified to compete as per CCAA and NCAA regulations may be allowed to travel.

Student-athletes must travel both to and from the site of competition with the official team traveling party. Separate travel arrangements require advance approval by the head coach and sport supervisor. CSU Stanislaus is released from any liability or risk involved in the alternate travel plans. Medical Hardship Waivers If there is reason to believe a student-athlete may be eligible for a medical hardship waiver, the Head Athletic Trainer works with the FAR and the Associate Athletic Director for Compliance to assess whether the student-athlete is in fact eligible for a medical hardship waiver. If the student-athlete meets the conditions for the waiver, the following process ensues. Procedure:

1. The Head Athletic Trainer gathers all pertinent medical documentation, including a physician’s assessment of the student-athlete’s incapacitating injury or illness. This information, along with a draft of the CCAA Conference Hardship Waiver form, is passed along to the FAR for review.

2. The FAR reviews the waiver and the attached documentation and contacts the Head Athletic Trainer with any questions or concerns. Once the packet is finalized, the FAR sends the final copy to the Associate Athletic Director for Compliance.

3. The Associate Athletic Director for Compliance does one final review and submits to the Conference Office prior to the deadline.

28

4. If the waiver is approved, the Associate Athletic Director for Compliance receives a notification from the Conference Office and notifies the Athletic Academic Advisor, FAR, Head Athletic Trainer and Sports Information Director. All will make appropriate notes of seasons of eligibility used for the student-athlete.

Initial Eligibility Review

At any time during the recruiting process, and at the very latest, prior to approval of a scholarship offer, Coaches may bring a copy of transcripts and test scores to be evaluated for initial eligibility by to the Athletics Academic Advisor.

A core course evaluation will be completed in regards to the prospective student-athletes transcript ensuring they are on track to graduate with the necessary NCAA 16 approved core courses.

TRANSFER Procedure for assessing a transfer student’s eligibility

1. Coaches must submit all transcripts when recruiting a transfer student so that the Athletics Academic Advisor may review the student’s eligibility.

2. Coaches will be given a written summary of the prospective student athlete’s potential eligibility. If a student-athlete wishes to transfer from CSUS the Associate Director of Compliance will confirm that a permission to contact has been sent and send a release of a onetime transfer. A release will not be granted to any CCAA institutions except in certain situations. Coaches must notify the Associate Director of Athletics for Compliance when a student-athlete requests such a transfer.

ELIGIBILITY

• Only those student-athletes found to be academically, athletically, and otherwise eligible will be permitted to participate in intercollegiate athletics as a representative of CSU-Stanislaus.

• Consistent with the mission of the California State University and the philosophy of the CSU Stanislaus Department of Athletics, we strive to operate a fundamentally sound and success athletics program. The success of the student-athletes in the classroom and the field of play are the barometers through which we gauge our success.

29

NCAA INITIAL-ELIGIBILITY CENTER (NCAA CLEARINGHOUSE)

• The NCAA Initial-Eligibility Center is an organization established to evaluate high school courses in a

consistent manner by trained, unbiased individuals and to review other information required for initial-eligibility certification. It carries out the procedures for determining the initial-eligibility requirements for all NCAA Division I and II institutions and administers the certification of student-athletes. The certification process is a cooperative effort between high schools, students, colleges and universities, and the Eligibility Center staff. Only those student-athletes officially certified by the center are eligible for participation in intercollegiate athletics at Division I and II institutions.

• Coaches must submit the name, Eligibility Center ID number, high school, and address of each prospective student-athlete to the Associate Director of Athletics for Compliance. The name(s) is/are submitted to the NCAA Eligibility center. The University possesses no control over the expediency with which the Eligibility Center processes student information. It is incumbent upon the student and their high school to ensure that all necessary documents are provided to the Eligibility Center on a timely basis.

• The Eligibility Center updates student status on a regular basis and student status can be viewed in real-time on the Center website. The Associate Director for Compliance monitors the website regularly to continually assess the status of all students who have been earmarked as a potential student at CSU Stanislaus.

Coaches must submit full rosters using the standardized roster form to Associate Director for Compliance and Athletic Academic Adviser prior to July 1st and update accordingly. You will receive an eligibility report from the Athletic Academic Advisor with the eligibility status of all athletes that are submitted on the roster. Mid-Year Certification of a Student-Athlete Every student-athlete must be re-certified after the fall semester to verify that they meet the necessary GPA requirement and that they have passed satisfactorily completed 6 units the previous semester.

Certification of Continuing Eligibility Coaches will be given updates throughout the semester as to a student athlete’s status in terms of continuing eligibility. To assist in this process coaches are expected to:

1. Maintain up to date squad lists 2. Maintain communication and relate student-athlete concerns to the academic counselor on a regular-

basis 3. Communicate regularly with Athletic Academic Advisor

ROSTER MANAGEMENT (APPENDIX R)

• Coaches are to give updated rosters to the Director of Compliance, Athletics Academic Advisor, Sports Information Director and Head Athletic Trainer on a continuous basis throughout the year (use official form). Use the Add/Drop form during the year as your roster changes.

• Coaches are expected to reach their roster requirements as determined by the Director of Compliance for gender equity purposes. Final rosters and list of redshirts need to be submitted to the Director of

30

Compliance, Athletic Academic Advisor, Sports Information Director and Head Athletic Trainer prior to your first competition.

Coaches must submit written monthly practice schedules to the facilities office through a facilities request form and to the athletic training office. Coaches must report any changes or cancellations to both offices as soon as possible. This allows open facilities to be used if needed and allows the training room to efficiently use of its staff and supplies.

34

athletics department staff member who observes the activity (e.g., strength coach, trainer, manager) may report back to the student-athlete’s coach any information related to the activity.

(b) The activity must be initiated and requested solely by the student-athlete. Neither the institution nor any athletics department staff member may require the student-athlete to participate in the activity at any tie. However, it is permissible for an athletics department staff member to provide information to student-athletes related to available opportunities for participating in voluntary activities (e.g., times when the strength and conditioning coach will be on duty in the weight room or on the track). In addition, for students who have initiated a request to engage in voluntary activities, the institution or an athletics department staff member may assign specific times for student-athletes to use institutional facilities for such purposes and inform the student-athletes of the time in advance.

(c) The student-athlete’s attendance and participation in the activity (or lack thereof) may not be recorded for the purposes of reporting such information to coaching staff members or other student-athletes; and

(d) The student-athlete may not be subjected to penalty if he or she elects not to participate in the activity. In addition, neither the institution nor any athletics department staff member may provide recognition or incentives (e.g., awards) to a student-athlete based on his or her attendance or performance in the activity.

GUIDELINES FOR BOOSTERS  

Supporters of Warrior Athletics Alumni, Donors, Boosters and Friends

(non-athletic department staff)

Dear Supporters of Warrior Athletics, At   CSU   Stanislaus   we   are   committed   to   achieving   in   the   classroom,   while  

abiding   by   all   National   Collegiate   Athletic   Association   (NCAA)   rules.   Your   support   is   important   to   our  compliance  effort.    As   an  NCAA  member,  CSU  Stanislaus   is   responsible   for   the  actions  of   those  whom   the  NCAA  considers  “representatives  of  its  athletics  interests,”  or  Supporters  of  Warrior  Athletics.      

 The   CSU   Stanislaus   athletic   department   appreciates   your   continued   support   and   interest.     The   attached  information  has  been  developed  to  provide  you  with  the  basic  information  concerning  the  NCAA  rules,  and  to  answer  questions  you  may  have  regarding  the  recruitment  of  prospective  student-­‐athletes  and  contact  with  currently   enrolled   student-­‐athletes.     Please   review   the   guide   and   share   the   information   with   others   who  support  Warrior  Athletics.        

Sincerely,  Mike  Matoso  

CSU  Stanislaus  Director  of  Intercollegiate  Athletics

Definitions to Know Athletics Interest ("Supporter") (NCAA 13.02.11)  Supporters  of  Warrior  Athletics  are  officially  considered  “representative  of  the  institution's  athletics  interest.”      Supporters  are  individuals  or  businesses  known  (or  should  be  known)  by  the    CSU  Stanislaus  Athletics  Department  to  have  participated  in  any  of  the  following:    

• Participate  in  or  been  a  member  of  an  organization  promoting  CSU  Stanislaus  Athletics;    • Contribute  financially  to  the  CSU  Stanislaus  Athletic  Department,  individual  athletic  programs  or  any  other  

CSU  Stanislaus  Athletics  or  sport-­‐specific  booster  organization;    • Assist  in  the  recruitment  of  prospects;    • Provide  NCAA  permissible  benefits  to  enrolled  student-­‐athletes  or  their  families;    • Promote  the  CSU  Stanislaus  Athletics  Department  in  other  ways.    

Once  identified  as  a  Supporter  of  Warrior  Athletics,  an  individual  or  business  retains  that  identity  for  life.      Prospective Student Athlete ("Prospect") (NCAA 13.02.10.1)  A  "prospective  student  athlete"  is  considered  a  prospect  if  the  student  has  started  classes  for  the  ninth  (9th)  grade.  A  younger  student  may  become  a  prospect  if  the  institution  provides  such  an  individual  (or  relatives  or  friends)  any  financial  assistance  or  other  benefits  not  provided  to  prospective  students  generally.    Prospects  become  "recruited  prospects"  when  any  of  the  following  occurs  from  actions  by  Athletics  staff  or  by  Supporters  of  Warrior  Athletics:  

• Providing  the  prospect  with  an  “official  visit”*  to  CSU  Stanislaus;  • Having  arranged,  in  person,  off-­‐campus  encounter  with  the  prospect  or  the  prospect's  relatives;  • Initiates  or  arranges  telephone  contact  with  the  prospect  or  relatives  for  the  purpose  of  recruitment;  • Issuing  a  National  Letter  of  Intent  or  the  University's  written  offer  of  athletically  related  financial  aid  to  a  

prospect.    *An  official  visit  to  CSU  Stanislaus  by  a  prospective  student  athlete  is  a  visit  financed  in  whole  or  in  part  by  the  CSU  Stanislaus  Athletics  Department.      

Supporter "Do's and Don'ts" Five Important Rules

67

1 Supporters who are not employed by CSU Stanislaus are not permitted to contact a prospect (or family members) by letter, telephone or in person for the purpose of soliciting their participation in the CSU Stanislaus athletics program. (NCAA 13.01.04) 2 A prospect remains a prospect even after signing a Letter of Intent or financial aid agreement to attend CSU Stanislaus. Only until the prospect starts classes or begins an official team practice does the prospect change status to "current student athlete." 3 Do not do ANYTHING for prospects without specific authorization from the CSU Stanislaus Athletic Department. 4 If you meet a prospect during the normal course of business, there is no problem with the contact as long as CSU Stanislaus is not a topic of that contact. The same holds true for parents and family members of prospect. 5 If a prospect accepts any benefits based on special consideration as an athlete, the prospect will lose all eligibility for intercollegiate athletics participation.    Prospects at Alumni Events Do's:

• Tell  CSU  Stanislaus  athletic  department  staff  invited  to  speak  at  alumni  events  if  prospects  will  be  in  attendance.    There  are  certain  time  periods  when  coaches  are  prohibited  from  any  prospect  contact  off  campus.  

Don'ts:

• Do  not  invite  prospects  to  alumni  events.    NCAA  rules  prohibit  contact  between  alumni  and  supporters  of  Warrior  athletics  at  on-­‐campus  and  off-­‐campus  sites.    Prospects  can  be  entertained  under  certain  conditions  that  do  not  involve  singling  out  prospects  for  special  treatment  ,  such  as  inviting  all  high  school  seniors  to  an  alumni  or  scholarship  event;    

• Do  not  bring  your  child  or  any  guest  to  an  alumni  gathering  event  if  they  would  be  considered  prospects.   Contact with Recruitable Prospects Do's:

• Feel  free  to  attend  junior  and  senior  high  school  and  community  college  athletic  events;  to  engage  in  normal  activities;  and  to  offer  assistance  to  any  CSU  Stanislaus  coach  who  is  recruiting  a  prospect  in  your  community  (such  as,  offering  transportation  for  the  coach  or  suggesting  people  to  contact  for  information  about  prospects).    

• Do  all  described  in  the  bullet  point  above  without  initiating  any  contact  with  the  prospect  or  the  prospect's  family.    If  incidental  contact  does  occur,  be  sure  to  explain  that  you  cannot  discuss  the  University's  athletic  program  with  them  and  explain  that  NCAA  rules  prohibit  you  from  doing  so.    Also,  inform  the  CSU  Stanislaus  Director  of  Compliance  to  ensure  that  NCAA  rules  were  not  violated.  

Don'ts:

68

• Do  not  telephone  or  write  to  a  prospect  for  the  purpose  of  soliciting  their  participation  in  the  athletics  program.    Should  a  prospect  initiate  a  telephone  conversation  with  you,  you  are  obligated  to  refer  all  questions  regarding  the  University's  athletics  program  to  the  athletics  department  staff.    

• Do  not  make  in-­‐person  contact  with  prospects  on  or  off  campus.        

• Do  not  contact  a  prospect's  coach,  principal  or  counselor  in  an  attempt  to  evaluate  the  prospect.          

• Do  not  directly  or  indirectly  become  involved  in  making  arrangements  for  a  prospect,  their  family  or  friends,  to  receive  money,  financial  aid  or  benefits,  or  arrangements  that  may  be  available  to  prospective  students  in  general  (such  as  providing  a  ride  to  campus  to  a  "general  student",  where  that  ride  would  be  prohibited  for  a  prospect).  

 • Do  not  provide  any  of  the  following  prohibited  inducements  to  prospects.    These  include,  but  are  not  limited  to  

the  following:    

  -­‐   cash  or  loans           -­‐   employment  after  college  graduation     -­‐     special  discounts  or  payment  arrangements  on  loans     -­‐     involvement  in  arranging  for  free  or  reduced  charges  for  professional  or           personal  services     -­‐     purchases  or  charges     -­‐   use  of  an  automobile     -­‐   providing  transportation  to  or  from  a  summer  job  or  to  any  other  site     -­‐     signing  or  co-­‐signing  a  note  for  a  loan     -­‐   the  loan  or  gift  of  money  or  other  tangible  items  (such  as  clothes,  cars,  jewelry,         electronics,  etc.)     -­‐   guarantees  of  bond     -­‐   purchase  of  items  or  services  from  a  prospect  or  prospect's  family  at  inflated         prices     -­‐   Providing  transportation,  directly  or  indirectly,  in  order  to  enroll  at  CSU           Stanislaus     -­‐   Any  financial  aid  other  than  that  administered  by  CSU  Stanislaus     -­‐   the  promise  of  financial  aid  for  post-­‐graduate  education     -­‐   Free  or  reduced-­‐cost  housing  arrangements    in  payment  of  transportation  costs         incurred  by  relatives/friends  of  prospect    

• Do  not  contact  enrolled  student-­‐athletes  from  other  four-­‐year  institutions  for  the  purpose  of  discussing  transfer  to  CSU  Stanislaus.  

• Do  not  pay  or  arrange  for  payment  of  transportation  costs  incurred  by  prospects,  or  friends/relatives,  or  offer  transport  to  any  of  those  persons.    The  Athletic  Department  is  allowed  a  limited  number  of  expense-­‐paid  visits  to  prospects  and  each  prospect  is  limited    to  accepting  a  maximum  of  five  such  visits  (no  more  than  one  per  institutions).  

 • Do  not  provide  free  tickets  to  prospects  to  home  or  away  games  or  to  any  event.  

 • Do  not  establish  any  fund  for  the  purpose  of  recruiting  prospects.      

69

 • Do  not  entertain,  provide  tickets,  gifts  or  other  benefits  to  prospects  at  any  time.  

 • Do  not  pay,  in  whole  or  part,  or  lend  funds  for  the  payment  of  registration  fees  for  any  prospect  to  attend  a  

summer  sports  camp.    

• Do  not  mail  anything  to  a  prospect.    

Employment of Prospects and Student Athletes Do's:

• Provide  employment  for  prospects  and  current  student  athletes  during  permissible  time  periods  and  at  regular  rates  of  pay.    All  enrolled  student  athletes  must  maintain  a  written  employment  record  with  the  Athletics  Department.  

Don'ts:

• Do  not  provide  employment  to  prospects  or  current  student  athletes  without  first  checking  with  the  CSU  Stanislaus  Athletics  Department.    The  Athletics  Department  is  permitted  to  arrange  employment  during  permissible  time  periods.    

• Do  not  employ  a  prospect  prior  to  the  completion  of  that  prospect's  high  school  senior  year.

Ways to Support Warrior Athletics: If you wish to contribute financially to Warrior Athletics, you can make a tax deductible contribution to the CSU Stanislaus Athletics Department and indicate how you would like your contribution to be used. All funds used for recruiting must be administered by the University. Donations to any Warrior athletics teams (Men's & Women's Basketball, Soccer, Track & Field, Cross Country, Tennis, Golf, Women's Volleyball, Baseball, and Softball) is greatly appreciated. Now more than ever, as public sector funds continue to remain scarce, our athletic programs must rely on private sector contributions to maintain competitiveness.
