Provision of Tickets to an Institution's Contests
Q - Is it permissible to provide hard tickets to a prospect for an institution's contests?
A - No. A prospect should only be receiving tickets pursuant to the complimentary admission legislation set forth in Bylaw 13 or as part of the official or unofficial visit entertainment rules. A prospect should not have access to tickets, including from the coaches’ allotment, that are not available through the institution's complimentary admissions policies.
Q - Is there a pre‐existing relationship exception for the provision of tickets to an institution's contest?
A - No. If an individual is deemed to be a prospect, the provision of a coach’s discretionary tickets to that individual constitutes an inducement pursuant to Bylaw 13 or an extra benefit pursuant to Bylaw 16. There is no pre‐existing relationship exception.
