This Week’s Question: “Dane Cook, pay–per–view, 20 minutes, let’s go!”COMPLIANCE CORNER Ocean State University (OSU) is reviewing several options regarding potential awards to the men’s basketball team for winning the NIT Championship. Some of the quotes they received include administrative fees such as shipping and handling. Does OSU have to include such costs when determining if the award fits within the NCAA maximum limits?No. NCAA Staff Interpretation – 2/6/09 – Administrative Fees Associated with Awards (I) – states that administrative fees (e.g., tooling charges, tax, shipping and handling) for awards (e.g., national championship rings) that are separate from the value of the award do not need to be included when calculating the value of the award.KEEP IN TOUCH Please let us know if you ever have any questions or concerns regarding our program.
