Agents
NCAA COMPLIANCE TOPICS
Agents and a Career in Professional Athletics
The NCAA supports the Uniform Athlete Agents Act (UAAA) and its adoption in every state. There can be
significant damage resulting from the impermissible and oftentimes illegal practices of some athlete agents.
Violations of NCAA agent legislation impact the eligibility of student‐athletes for further participation in NCAA
competition. Violations also may result in harsh penalties on the team and the university (including the
imposition of NCAA sanctions that have resulted in the repayment of monies received from NCAA
championship competition, forfeiture of contests and other penalties). The UAAA is an important tool in
regulating the activities of athlete agents and protecting NCAA student‐athletes and member institutions.
If you have eligibility remaining and you or your parents/legal guardians involve yourselves with an agent, you
put your continued eligibility at risk. Know the rule. For the most up‐to‐date information on rules pertinent to
intercollegiate athletics and seeking a career in professional athletics, go online to http://www.ncaa.org:
1. From the home page, click the Resources tab, then
2. Under Resources (on left, select Uniform Athlete Agents Act), then
3. From this page, read about the UAAA or select other pertinent stories.
An individual loses amateur status and thus shall not be eligible for competition in a particular sport if the
individual:
Uses his or her athletic skill (directly or indirectly) for pay in any form in that sport (unless
expressly permitted under NCAA or Ivy League rules);
Accepts a promise of pay even if such pay is to be received following completion of intercollegiate
athletics participation;
Signs a contract or commitment of any kind to play professional athletics, regardless of its legal
enforceability or any consideration received;
Receives, directly or indirectly, a salary, reimbursement of expenses, or any other form of financial
assistance from a professional sports organization based upon athletics skill or participation,
except as permitted by NCAA rules and regulations;
Competes on any professional athletics team even if no pay or remuneration for expenses was
received;
Subsequent to initial full‐time collegiate enrollment, enters into a professional draft; or
Enters into an agreement with an agent.
Negotiations
An individual may request information about professional market value without affecting his or her amateur
status. Further, the individual, his or her legal guardians, or the institution's professional sports counseling
panel may enter into negotiations with a professional sports organization without the loss of the individual's
amateur status. An individual who retains an agent shall lose amateur status.
Non‐binding Agreement
An individual who signs a contract or commitment that does not become binding until the professional
organization's representative or agent also signs the document is ineligible, even if the contract remains
unsigned by the other parties until after the student‐athlete's eligibility is exhausted.

General Rule
An individual shall be ineligible for participation in an intercollegiate sport if he or she ever has agreed (orally
or in writing) to be represented by an agent for the purpose of marketing his or her athletic ability or
reputation in that sport. Further, an agency contract not specifically limited in writing to a sport or particular
sports shall be deemed applicable to all sports, and the individual shall be ineligible to participate in any sport.
Representation for Future Negotiations
An individual shall be ineligible if he or she enters into a verbal or written agreement with an agent for
representation in future professional sports negotiations that are to take place after the individual has
completed his or her eligibility in that sport.
Benefits from Prospective Agents
An individual shall be ineligible if he or she (or his or her relatives or friends) accepts transportation or other
benefits from:
Any person who represents any individual in the marketing of his or her athletics ability. The
receipt of such expenses constitutes compensation based on athletic skill and is an extra benefit
not available to the student body in general; or
An agent, even if the agent has indicated that he or she has no interest in representing the
student‐athlete in the marketing of his or her athletic ability or reputation and does not represent
individuals in the student‐athlete's sport.
Legal Counsel
Securing advice from a lawyer concerning a proposed professional sports contract shall not be considered
contracting for representation by an agent under this rule, unless the lawyer also represents the individual in
negotiations for such a contract.
Presence of a Lawyer at Negotiations
A lawyer may not be present during discussions of a contract offer with a professional organization or have
any direct contact (i.e., in person, by telephone or by mail) with a professional sports organization on behalf of
the individual. A lawyer's presence during such discussions is considered representation by an agent.

SECTION 7 – NCAA COMPLIANCE TOPICS
Alcohol, Tobacco and Drugs
ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND DRUGS
Alcohol
The University of Pennsylvania does not condone the illegal or otherwise irresponsible use of alcohol. Alcohol
abuse is a progressive disorder in which physical dependency can develop. The negative physical and mental
effects of the abuse of alcohol are well documented. Even low doses of alcohol impair brain function,
judgment, alertness, coordination, and reflexes. Very high doses cause suppression of respiration and death.
Chronic alcohol abuse can produce dementia, sexual impotence, cirrhosis of the liver, and heart disease; and
sudden withdrawal can produce severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations, and life‐threatening convulsions.
Therefore, it is the responsibility of every member of the University community to know the risks associated
with alcohol use and abuse. This responsibility obligates students and employees to know relevant University
policies and federal, state and local laws and to conduct themselves in accordance with these laws and
policies.

Penn Athletics discourages the provision and consumption of alcohol at all athletic‐related events where
students are present. Furthermore, departmental staff members must comply with the laws and policies of
the state of Pennsylvania, the City of Philadelphia, and the University.
University Funds, including gift funds, may not be used for the purchase of alcohol, which is to be
provided to students.
Alcohol may not be consumed on team buses, team vans or other methods of team
transportation.
The Ivy League discourages the abuse of alcohol and does not condone its possession or consumption by
persons under the legal drinking age. Each member institution has adopted and implemented a program
designed to prevent the abuse of alcohol by students, faculty and staff. The Ivy League fully supports each
institution’s efforts and encourages each Department of Athletics to assist in these institutional efforts and to
develop complementary departmental policies or guidelines. Alcoholic beverages should not be served or
consumed in any activity related to athletics in circumstances that would result in violations of law or that
serve to encourage their use by students.
Tobacco
The NCAA prohibits the use of tobacco products by all game personnel (e.g., coaches, trainers, managers and
game officials) in all sports during practice and competition.
The use of tobacco products by a student‐athlete is prohibited during practice and competition. A student‐
athlete who uses tobacco products during a practice or competition shall be disqualified for the remainder of
that practice or competition.
Tobacco Ban ‐ No player, coach or game official may use any form of tobacco during practices or games in
NCAA‐approved summer baseball leagues.
The Ivy League discourages the use of tobacco products in all activities related to athletics.
The distribution of smokeless tobacco product samples in Ivy locker rooms is prohibited.
Drugs
Penn prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, sale, possession or use of any drug by
any of its employees in its workplace, on its premises or as part of any of its activities, or by its students. This
policy is intended to supplement and not limit the provisions of University's Drug‐Free Workplace policy.
NCAA Ineligibility for Use of Banned Drugs. A student‐athlete who is found to have utilized a substance on the
list of banned substances (including performance‐enhancing substances as well as recreational drugs) shall be
declared ineligible for further participation in postseason and regular‐season competition during the time
period ending one calendar year after the student‐athlete's positive drug test, and shall be charged with the
loss of a minimum of one season of competition in all sports. The student‐athlete shall remain ineligible until
the student‐athlete retests negative and the student‐athlete's eligibility is restored by the NCAA.
If the student‐athlete tests positive a second time for the use of any drug, other than a
'recreational drug', he or she shall lose all remaining regular‐season and postseason eligibility in all
sports.
If the student‐athlete tests positive for the use of a 'recreational drug' after being restored to
eligibility, he or she shall lose a minimum of one additional season of competition in all sports and
also shall remain ineligible for regular‐season and postseason competition at least through the
next calendar year.

Employment Guidelines
To ensure compliance with NCAA legislation and Penn Athletics policy pertaining to student‐athlete
employment, each Penn student‐athlete is to review annually and comply with the employment guidelines
listed below.
I shall represent myself and my University by diligent work habits, honest communication, and
respectful conduct toward my employer at all times.
I will not accept any benefits or privileges that are not available to other employees doing similar
work, including transportation provided or arranged by my employer to or from my place of
employment.
I understand that I must be paid by check (direct deposit or other method of payment that has
been approved by DRIA Compliance) and will be paid only for actual hours worked and that
compensation is at a rate commensurate with the rate of other employees doing similar work.
I will report to the Penn Athletics Compliance office any improper privileges or benefits offered to
me.
I understand that a member of the Penn Athletics Compliance staff may contact my employer for
ensuring NCAA, Ivy League, and Penn Athletics guidelines are being followed.
I grant permission to my employer to release any and all employment records or documents to
authorized Penn Athletics representatives.
I understand that failure to abide by the above guidelines could seriously affect my athletic
eligibility and financial aid.
Employment/Job Characteristics
It is permissible for student‐athletes to be employed during the academic year, provided the job has the
following characteristics:
• Job must be real.
• Your hiring must comply with normal hiring practices of the employer.
• Your compensation must be the same as that of others in the same position.
• Your compensation must be unrelated to your athletics reputation or value.
• Your compensation must be actual work done.
As a student‐athlete, it is your responsibility to ensure that your employment during the academic year has
these characteristics.

Here are some important points to remember concerning work opportunities:
• Staff members, alumni or friends (of Penn Athletics) are not permitted to assist you in obtaining
off‐campus (non‐University) employment during the academic year. You must obtain such
employment on your own
• We can help you find summer employment opportunities if compensation is at a standard rate of
pay and you keep normal working hours.
• Always check with your head coach or the Penn Athletics Compliance Office before committing
yourself to any type of employment.
• A violation may result in loss of your eligibility for competition, loss of your financial aid, and your
sport being precluded from participation in national championships.
Employment Monitoring Forms
In an effort to alleviate misunderstandings of NCAA legislation surrounding employment by student‐athletes,
all student‐athletes are required to complete an employment monitoring form (history of employment for
prior year) as a condition of eligibility and a sport‐related employment approval form (for current academic
year and summer) in PennEAI.
• Employment Reporting Form (Penn eligibility requirement)
• Employment Request/Change Form (required prior to beginning sport–related employment)
Employment Impact on Financial Aid
Earnings from a student‐athlete’s on‐ or off‐campus employment that occurs at any time are exempt and are
not counted in determining a student‐athlete’s full grant‐in‐aid or in the institution’s financial aid limitations,
provided:
a. The student‐athlete’s compensation does not include any remuneration for value or utility that
the student‐athlete may have for the employer due to the publicity, reputation, fame or personal
following that he or she has obtained because of athletics ability;
b. The student‐athlete is compensated only for work actually performed, and the student‐athlete is
compensated at a rate commensurate with the going rate in that locality for similar services.
Sport (Athletically‐Related) Employment
Sport or athletically‐related employment requires prior authorization from the Penn Athletics Compliance
Office.
• Complete Employment Request form in PennEAI
• Includes work in sport camps and clinics, and
• Fee‐for Lesson Instruction
Fee‐for‐Lesson Employment
Here are some important points to remember when you arrange fee‐for‐lesson instructions:
o Penn facilities may not be used.
o Instruction may not include “playing lesson.”
o You must document the name of the recipient of the lesson and the fee paid; copies of this
documentation must be provided to the Penn Athletics Compliance Office.
o The compensation must be paid by lesson recipient (or recipient’s family) and not another
individual or entity.

o You may not conduct your own camp but you may give instruction to more than one recipient
provided the instruction to each individual is comparable to the instruction that would be
provided during a private lesson.
o You may not use your name, picture or appearance to promote or advertise the availability of
fee‐for‐lesson sessions.
Camp/Clinic Employment
General Rule ‐ All Sports
A student‐athlete who is employed in any sports camp or clinic must meet the following requirements:
o Compensation provided to the student‐athlete shall be commensurate with the going rate for
camp or clinic counselors of like teaching ability and camp or clinic experience
o Compensation may not be paid on the basis of
the value that student‐athletes may have for the employer because of the athletic
reputation or fame the student‐athlete or on
the level of athletics skills of the student‐athlete
o A student‐athlete may not engage in athletically‐related activities including team practices or
conditioning sessions, except during the team’s declared playing and practice season
o A student‐athlete who only lectures or demonstrates at a camp/clinic may not receive
compensation for his or her appearance at the camp/clinic.
EXTRA BENEFITS
STUDENT‐ATHLETE HANDBOOK
SECTION 7 – NCAA COMPLIANCE TOPICS
Extra Benefits /Preferential Treatment
REPRESENTATIVES EPRESENTATIVES OF AATHLETICS THLETICS I INTERESTS NTERESTS ( (AKA AKA B BOOSTERS) OOSTERS )
An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a representative of Penn’s
athletics interests to provide a student‐athlete or the student‐athlete’s relative or friend a benefit not
expressly authorized by NCAA legislation. Receipt of a benefit by student‐athletes or their relatives or friends
is not a violation of NCAA legislation if it is demonstrated that the same benefit is generally available to Penn
students or their relatives or friends or to a particular segment of the student body (e.g., foreign students,
minority students) determined on a basis unrelated to athletics ability.
Below are “Extra Benefits” not permissible under NCAA rules.
A special discount, payment arrangement or credit on a purchase (e.g., airline ticket, clothing) or a
service (e.g. dry cleaning, laundry);
A professional service without charge or at a reduced cost;
The use of a telephone or credit card for personal reasons without charge or at a reduced rate;
Services (e.g., movies tickets, dinners, use of car) from commercial agencies (e.g., movie theaters,
restaurants, car dealers) without charge or at reduced rates;
Free or reduced‐cost admission to professional athletic contests from professional sports
organizations;
A loan of money;
A guarantee of bond;
The use of an automobile;

Signing or co‐signing a note with an outside agency to arrange a loan;
Preferential treatment, benefits or services (e.g., loans on a deferred payback basis) for your
athletic reputation or skill or payback potential as a future professional athlete.
FINANCIAL AID
Check with Penn Athletics Compliance or your coach for additional restrictions.

Eligibility for Practice and Competition
No student shall be eligible for practice and competition who has received financial support from any source
except as noted below.
from personal or family resources;
in return for services (other than of an athletic character) rendered through employment at
normal wages;
from financial aid awarded by or with the specific approval of the regular academic authority of
the institution in which the player is a student;
from Government grants to war service veterans or regularly‐enrolled members of ROTC units.
NCAA Financial Aid Limit
The NCAA maximum financial aid limit for a student‐athlete is the cost of attendance. The cost of attendance
is determined by Penn’s Office of Student Financial Services, and adherence to this limit is monitored by the
Director of Student Financial Services and the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics Assistant Compliance
Coordinator.
In keeping with NCAA regulations outside financial aid for which athletic ability is a major criterion and
educational expenses awarded by the U.S. Olympic Committee or a U.S. sport national governing body (or, for
international student‐athletes, expenses awarded by the equivalent organization of a foreign country) may not
exceed the value of a full grant‐in‐aid (aid based on athletic ability).
Finally, to specify that a student‐athlete may receive any other financial aid unrelated to athletics ability up to
cost of attendance; or the value of a full grant‐in‐aid plus a Federal Pell Grant, whichever is greater.
The value of a full‐grant‐in‐aid is determined by the Office of Student Financial Services per NCAA policy.
STUDENT‐ATHLETE ASSISTANCE FUND
The Special Assistance Fund established from monies provided by the NCAA is administered by the Ivy League.
Student‐athletes who are Pell Grant recipients or full‐aided international students who are not eligible to
apply for a Pell Grant because of citizenship status may use this fund.
Qualification for this fund is determined by the University's Office of Student Financial Services.
In September, the Office of Student Financial Services informs the Department of Intercollegiate
Athletics of qualified student‐athletes.

Qualifying student‐athletes are then informed by the Penn Athletics Compliance Coordinator by
October 1 each year.
If you believe that you qualify for the fund and have not been contacted by this date, please email
an inquiry no later than December 1 to the Penn Athletics Compliance Office ‐
athlcomp@pobox.upenn.edu.
To receive reimbursement of permissible expenses, bring original receipts to Penn Athletics
Compliance Office and complete an Ivy Group/NCAA Student‐Athlete Assistance Fund Request
form.
NCAA OPPORTUNITY FUND
The NCAA Student‐Athlete Opportunity Fund became effective in June 2003. Monies from this fund may be
used to pay expenses directly related to student‐athlete well‐being. Monies received by an individual student‐
athlete are exempt from the individual or team grant‐in‐aid limitations. It is not permissible to use the fund
for athletic enhancement, such as camp fees or for salaries or grants‐in‐aid (other than summer school),
capital improvements and stipends. Contact the Penn Athletics Compliance Office for more information about
this fund.

USE OF STUDENT‐ATHLETE’S NAME, LIKENESS OR IMAGE
Under NCAA rules it is impermissible for names, likenesses or images of student‐athletes to be used in the
promotion of commercial products or entities. Likewise, a student‐athlete may not benefit from the use of his
or her name, likeness or image used to promote or endorse a commercial product or entity.
Modeling is most often discussed in reference to NCAA legislation addressing use of a student‐athlete’s name,
likeness or image. Modeling can be hard to define in NCAA terms. However, we know it when we see.
Engaging in a modeling activity does not in and of itself equate to promotion or endorsement of a product or
entity. But regrettably, endorsement or promotion is most often implied. Either way, NCAA legislation serves
to limit a student‐athlete’s participation in modeling and promotional activities.
Participation in a modeling activity should be viewed similarly to employment. NCAA legislation prohibits
student‐athletes from receiving employment and/or compensation (or benefits) based on athletic ability or
reputation. This is applicable even when you are not being paid to model. As an athlete you are apt to have a
body type that is favorable to modeling and are therefore likely to be approached for a modeling activity. In
the advertisement industry, high‐profile professional athletes are highly paid to model for or endorse
commercial products or entities. Collegiate athletes cannot be paid for their athletic reputation or ability.

Modeling – General Rule: Impermissible Activity for Student‐Athletes
NCAA legislation establishes rules and exceptions to those rules. So is the case with modeling – generally, it is
impermissible for student‐athletes to engage in modeling activities (paid or unpaid). This means that if you
model (without authorization), you jeopardize your eligibility to participate in Penn intercollegiate athletics.
There are NCAA‐legislated exceptions that allow limited use of a student‐athlete’s name, likeness or image in
promotional activities; thus, there are exceptions that will allow you to participation in some modeling
activities.
YOU WANT TO MODEL – KNOW THE RULES
First, if you are seriously considering participating in a modeling activity, you should meet with a Penn
Athletics Compliance staff member to discuss pertinent NCAA legislation. With regards to traditional
modeling, there is legislation that allows (with conditions) a student‐athlete who was a model prior to college
enrollment to continue to participate in modeling without jeopardizing his or her eligibility to participate in
intercollegiate athletics. If you have not modeled prior to your college enrollment, your participation in
modeling activities must be limited to legislated NCAA exceptions.
Second, have a full discussion with the involved persons orchestrating the modeling activity. You need to
know what will the modeling assignment involve; will photographs be taken and, if yes, how will they be used;
where will they appear (print, website, etc). It is your responsibility to ensure that your name, likeness or
image is used in a matter that is not impermissible under NCAA rules.
Third, to ensure compliance with NCAA legislation, you should request and receive authorization to engage in
the modeling activity from the Penn Athletics Compliance office.
Promotional Activities
You may participate in institutional, charitable, education or non‐profit promotions; however, the following
conditions must be adhered to. To comply with (a) and (i) below, you must meet with a Penn Athletics
Compliance staff member.
(a) You MUST have written approval to participate from the director of athletics (or his or her
designee, who cannot be a coaching staff member);
(b) The specific activity or project in which you participate cannot involve co‐sponsorship,
advertisement or promotion by a commercial agency other than through the reproduction of the
sponsoring company's officially registered regular trademark or logo on printed materials such as
pictures, posters or calendars. The company's emblem, name, address, telephone number and
website address may be included with the trademark or logo. Personal names, messages and
slogans (other than an officially registered trademark) are prohibited;
(c) Your name or picture may not appear on an institution's printed promotional item (e.g., poster,
calendar) that includes a reproduction of a product with which a commercial entity is associated if
the commercial entity's officially registered regular trademark or logo also appears on the item;
(d) You may not miss class;
(e) All monies derived from the activity or project go directly to the member institution, member
conference or the charitable, educational or nonprofit agency;
(f) You may accept actual and necessary expenses from the member institution, member conference
or the charitable, educational or nonprofit agency related to participation in such activity;
(g) Your name, picture or appearance is not used to promote the commercial ventures of any
nonprofit agency;
(h) Any commercial items with names, likenesses or pictures of multiple student‐athletes (other than
highlight films or media guides) may be sold only at the member institution at which the student‐
athletes are enrolled, the institution's conference, institutionally controlled (owned and operated)

outlets or outlets controlled by the charitable, educational or nonprofit organization (e.g., location
of the charitable or educational organization, site of charitable event during the event). Items that
include an individual student‐athlete's name, picture or likeness (e.g., name on jersey, name or
likeness on a bobble‐head doll), other than informational items (e.g., media guide, schedule cards,
institutional publications), may not be sold; and
(i) The student‐athlete and an authorized representative of the charitable, educational or
nonprofit agency sign a release statement ensuring that the student‐athlete's name, image or
appearance is used in a manner consistent with the requirements of this section.
STUDENT‐ATHLETES INVOLVED IN STUDENT ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES
You may participate in student organized activities that involve modeling provided your athletics reputation or
ability is not considered in any manner in your selection for the activity and you have obtained authorization
through the Penn Athletics Compliance Office. To repeat, your athletic reputation or ability may not be a
factor in your selection for participation in a student group’s activity or promotion of the group. Therefore, it
would not be an infraction of NCAA legislation for you to be a member of a student performing arts group or
other student group or event such as a student‐run fashion show provided your name, likeness and image are
not to be used in a matter impermissible under NCAA legislation. Any monies generated from the activity or
event as well as photographs or merchandise produced in conjunction with the activity or event must be
compliant with NCAA regulations. The student group’s president (or administrative head) must also agree that
your name, likeness and image are not being used in a matter impermissible under NCAA legislation.
To safeguard your eligibility, you should review your participation in non‐Penn athletics activities with a
member of the Penn Athletics Compliance staff.

Sport Wagering
GAMBLING/SPORT WAGERING
The NCAA views all infractions of the gambling/sport wagering rules to be serious. Penalties almost always
include the loss of eligibility for involved student‐athletes. Is it worth your eligibility? Don’t Bet On It.
NCAA rules prohibit student‐athletes from engaging in gambling activities as they relate to
intercollegiate or professional sporting events.
NCAA rules stipulate that student‐athletes shall not knowingly:
o Provide information to individuals involved in organized gambling activities concerning
intercollegiate athletics competition;
o Solicit a bet on any intercollegiate team;
o Accept a bet on any team representing the institution; or
o Participate in any gambling activity that involves intercollegiate athletics or professional
athletics, through a bookmaker, a parlay card or any other method employed by organized
gambling.
NCAA rules preclude a student‐athlete from soliciting or accepting a bet for a non‐monetary
material item (e.g., shirt, dinner) that has tangible value.
