Extra Benefits
Student-athletes are not permitted to receive "extra benefits" under NCAA legislation. NCAA rules define an extra benefit as any special arrangement by a BGSU employee or booster to provide a student-athlete, the student-athlete's family or friends a benefit that is not explicitly authorized under NCAA rules.
Examples of impermissible extra benefits provided to student-athletes include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Meals
* Use of a phone or calling card
* Special academic arrangements not available to other students (e.g., preferential grading, extra credit not available to all students, verbal or untimed exam not prescribed by BGSU Disability Services)
* An automobile or use of an automobile
* Free or reduced-cost housing or storage of personal belongings
* Loan of money, signing or cosigning of loan
* Transportation (e.g., a ride home with a coach, ride with a booster), including transportation for family and friends
* Cash or like items (e.g., gift certificates, store credit)
* Tangible items (e.g., clothing, shoes, cars, jewelry)
* Special discounts, payment arrangements, or credit (e.g., credit line at a store) on a purchase or service (e.g., dry cleaning)
* Free or reduced-cost entertainment services from commercial agencies (e.g., concert, sporting event, and movie tickets, reduced admission to institutional or community events)
* Educational expenses (other than from permissible institutional and outside sources)
