ETHICAL CONDUCT AND GAMBLING

Head Coach Responsibility Bylaw 11.1.1.1 An institution s head coach is presumed to be responsible for the actions of all assistant coaches and administrators who report, directly or indirectly, to the head coach. A head coach shall promote an atmosphere of compliance within his or her program and shall monitor the activities of all assistant coaches and administrators involved with the program who report, directly or indirectly, to the head coach.

Ethical Conduct & Gambling Expectation to act with honesty and sportsmanship at all times. Responsibility to report any NCAA violations. Academic Integrity coaches are not permitted to reach out directly to admissions counselors, professors, deans, etc. All those conversations need to be filtered through our athletic academic advising staff and compliance.

Ethical Conduct & Gambling Gambling Don t Bet on It! Definition: putting forth something of value for the opportunity to win something of value. Cannot gamble on any sport that the NCAA sponsors (professional or amateur). Cannot provide info to individuals involved in gambling.

Ethical Conduct & Gambling The NCAA updated its guidelines for wagering-related violations effective May 2, 2023: Student-athletes who engage in activities to influence the outcomes of their own games or knowingly provide information to individuals involved in sports betting activities will potentially face permanent loss of collegiate eligibility in all sports. This would also apply to student-athletes who wager on their own games or on other sports at their own schools.

Ethical Conduct & Gambling If a student-athlete wagers on their own sport at another school = 50% of one season. For all other wagering-related violations (e.g., wagering on professional sports): $200 or less: sports wagering rules and prevention education. $201-$500: loss of 10% of a season of eligibility, plus rules and prevention education. $501-$800: loss of 20% of a season of eligibility, plus rules and prevention education. Greater than $800: loss of 30% of a season of eligibility, plus rules and prevention education.

NAME, IMAGE AND LIKENESS

Name, Image and Likeness Where are we now: Currently, 32 states have their own NIL laws. The NCAA has not updated its interim NIL policy since June 30, 2021. Multiple federal bills have been proposed by senators, but none have been officially voted on. NCAA Guidance: As members of a voluntary association, institutions are expected to comply with NCAA rules (regardless of state law).

NIL - Institutional Involvement Permissible: Provide information to SAs about opportunities that institution has become aware of (transmit information without further involvement). *Connect* Provide SA contact information and other directory information to NIL entity (e.g., Collectives and others seeking to engage SAs). Introduce SA to representatives of NIL entity.

NIL - Institutional Involvement Impermissible: Athletics department staff member representing enrolled SAs for NIL deals, including securing and negotiating deals on behalf of the SA. NIL compensation may not be contingent upon enrollment at a particular school.

Colorado Senate Bill 23-293 An institution may identify, create, solicit, facilitate, and otherwise enable opportunities for a student-athlete to earn compensation for the use of the student athlete's name, image, or likeness so long as the institution first acquires the consent of the student athlete. An institution that solicits such an opportunity for a student-athlete must inform the student athlete of the solicitation within 72 hours after the solicitation. A charitable organization that is not an institution may compensate a student athlete for the use of the student athlete's name, image, or likeness.

Colorado Senate Bill 23-293 Please Note: State law supersedes NCAA rules pertaining to NIL. Creating NIL deals for student-athletes will conflict with the NCAA policy. Our current stance is to adhere to the NCAA policy. Our NIL Working Group is closely monitoring the NCAA landscape.

Name, Image and Likeness The Division I Council is currently developing proposals for NIL protections: 1. Develop a registration process for NIL service providers and NIL entities. 2. Create a standardized contract or contract terms that would include certain required information. 3. Establish disclosure requirements for student- athletes and/or NIL entities Planning to release proposals by October 2023.
