Exception for Prize Money for SAs outside the playing season and during summer vacation period

The membership adopted legislation last April that made an exception to the prize money legislation prohibiting the receipt of prize money by Student-athletes. It is now permissible for individual sport SAs (ski, tennis, track and field, cross country, and golf) to accept prize money after initial enrollment in a collegiate institution if the following conditions are met:

1) The prize money must be based on the student-athlete’s place finish or performance
2) The event must be an open event (not invitation only)
3) The competition must occur outside the declared playing and practice season
4) The competition must occur during the summer vacation period
5) The prize money may not exceed actual and necessary expenses
6) The prize money may only be provided by the sponsor of the open event

Please note that if student-athletes in individual sports plan to take advantage of this limited exception to the prize money legislation, they must keep detailed receipts of any expenses they incur as this documentation may be requested at a later date.

Monitors would be at the table(s) and remind Olympians to carry dishes to utensils to garbage; help them get seated if needed, etc.

They will be serving about 1700 people in shifts between 4:30 and 5:45P in Shoyer Gym, and will need about 20-25 volunteers from us, because they will be serving lots of people in a short amount of time!

To sign up contact Mary Kay Minor (info below) or me by April 15th. This is a great cause and another way to give back to those in our community.

PLEASE DO NOT WALK THROUGH SHROYER GYM AND REC CENTER

Now that the weather has turned, we are having some issues surrounding access to Shroyer Gym. The current arrangement with access to Shroyer (coaches having keys, and access through the weight room) was developed to accommodate those students and coaches who need to access Shroyer for PRACTICE. It was not developed to accommodate students and staff who want to avoid the elements and “CUT THROUGH” the building.

This is not appropriate use of the access designed for other purposes. We will be posting signs soon and locking the access door during periods of the day (particularly when team practices are not scheduled). Please do not inconvenience the weight room staff by knocking on the door for access or setting off the alarm.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
