(Continued)


15.2.2.1.5 Training Table Meals. The cost of meals provided on the institution’s training table shall be deducted from a student-athlete’s board allowance. In determining the cost figure to be deducted, the institution may use the actual meal costs listed in the institution’s catalog or the average meal costs of its student-athletes living on campus.


15.2.2.1.6 Meals Incidental to Participation. The cost of meals and snacks provided as benefits incidental to partici- pation in intercollegiate athletics need not be deducted from a student-athlete’s board allowance. Such meals and snacks also may be received by a student-athlete who is not receiving athletically related financial aid inasmuch as they constitute a benefit incidental to athletics participation [see Bylaw 16.5.2-(d)].


Article 16.0 Awards, Benefits and Expenses for Enrolled Student-Athletes


Bylaw 16.5.2 Housing and Meals. Permissible. Identified housing and meal benefits incidental to a student’s participa- tion in intercollegiate athletics that may be financed by the institution are:


(c) Training Table Meals. An institution may provide only one training table meal per day to a student-athlete during the academic year on those days when regular institutional dining facilities are open (see Bylaw 15.2.2.1.5). A stu- dent-athlete who does not receive institutional athletically related financial aid covering the full cost of board, including a walk-on or partial scholarship recipient, may purchase one training table meal per day at the same rate that the institution deducts from the board allowance of student-athletes who receive athletically related financial aid covering board costs pursuant to Bylaw 15.2.2.1.5.


(d) Meals Incidental to Participation. An institution may provide meals to student-athletes as a benefit incidental to participation in intercollegiate athletics. An institution shall not provide student-athletes with a meal and cash for the same meal.


(1) Cash for Missed Meal Due to Practice Activities. An institution may provide to a student-athlete the cash equivalent of a meal missed due to practice activities only if he or she has previously paid for the meal (either individually or through the board element of a scholarship).


(2) Meals in Conjunction With Home Competition. All student-athletes are permitted to receive meals at the institu- tion’s discretion beginning with the evening before competition and continuing until they are released by institutional personnel. An institution shall not provide cash to student-athletes in lieu of meals during this time period. An institu- tion, at its discretion, may provide a meal or cash (not to exceed $15), but not both, to student-athletes at the time of their release by institutional personnel.


(3) Meals in Conjunction With Away-from-Home Competition. An institution may provide meals to student-ath- letes in conjunction with away-from-home competition pursuant to one of the following options:


(i) All student-athletes are permitted to receive a pregame or postgame meal as a benefit incidental to partici- pation in addition to regular meals (or meal allowances per institutional policy). An institution, at its discretion, may provide cash, not to exceed $15, in lieu of a postgame meal; or


(ii) All student-athletes are permitted to receive meals at the institution’s discretion from the time the team is required to report on call for team travel until the team returns to campus. If a student-athlete does not use team travel to return to campus, he or she may receive meals at the institution’s discretion up to the point he or she is released from team-related activities by the appropriate institutional authority. An institution shall not provide cash to student-athletes in lieu of meals under this option before their release. An institution may provide a meal or cash (not to exceed $15), but not both, to a student-athlete at the time of his or her release by the institutional authority, regardless of whether he or she uses team travel to return to campus.


(e) Snacks. An institution may provide snacks to a student-athlete at any time.


(g) Nutritional Supplements. An institution may provide permissible nutritional supplements to a student-athlete for the purpose of providing additional calories and electrolytes. Permissible nutritional supplements do not contain any NCAA banned substances and are identified according to the following classes: carbohydrate/electrolyte drinks, energy bars, carbohydrate boosters and vitamins and minerals.


Bylaw 16.8.2 Expenses Provided by the Institution for Practice and Competition. Nonpermissible


16.8.2.2 Conditioning Expenses Outside the Playing Season. An institution shall not provide expenses (eg, travel, lodging, meals) to student-athletes in conjunction with permissible conditioning activities that may occur outside the playing season during the academic year.


Bylaw 16.11 Benefits, Gifts and Services


16.11.1.5 Occasional Meals. A student-athlete or the entire team in a sport may receive an occasional meal in the locale of the institution on infrequent and special occasions from an institutional staff member. An institutional staff member may provide reasonable local transportation to student-athletes to attend such meals. A student-athlete or the entire team in a sport may receive an occasional meal from a representative of athletics interests on infrequent and special occasions under the following conditions:


(a) The meal may only be provided in an individual’s home, on campus or at a facility that is regularly used for home competition and may be catered; and


(b) A representative of the institution’s athletics interests may provide reasonable local transportation to student-ath- letes to attend the meal function only if the meal function is at the home of that representative.
