NCAA Name, Image and Likeness Policy

Policy Statement

根据2021年6月30日NCAA采取的统卡塔尔世界杯时间表一临时政策，本政策管理阿德尔菲大学(“阿德尔菲”)学生运动员和阿德尔菲工作人员关于学生运动员姓名、形象和相似度(“NIL”)的活动和机会，暂停NIL规则。在2021年7月1日之前，任何涉及学生运动员零分的协议都不包括在该政策下，因此需要遵守NCAA之前关于零分的规定，包括违反这些规定的强制性报告。纽约还没有制定法律来管理学生运动员的NIL。从2021年7月1日起，Adelphi的工作人员、Adelphi的田径运动员和Adelphi的学生运动员将遵循NCAA的新指导和这一政策。

This policy is subject to change and is intended to remain in place until either the State of New York or the federal government enacts NIL legislation that would supersede this Policy. This policy does not supersede any other Adelphi policy and student-athletes must adhere to all Adelphi, Northeast-10 Conference, and NCAA regulations, guidelines and expectations when engaging in NIL opportunities.

Who Is Governed by this Policy

Any student participating in intercollegiate sports at Adelphi University andStaff

Policy

NIL Activities

Subject to NCAA rules, this Adelphi University NIL policy, and all other applicable Adelphi University policies, student-athletes may use their NIL in a variety of ways that may include, but are not limited to:

• Promoting their own business
• Promoting or endorsing a corporate entity (e.g., a brand ambassador or social media influencer)
• Conducting camps, clinics or lessons
• Making appearances or signing autographs

Compensation for NIL Activities

Adelphi student-athletes are permitted to receive compensation, either in-kind or monetary, for NIL activities subject to the requirements of this Policy and NCAA rules. Such compensation must be within fair market value and must be for work actually performed.

Adelphi student-athletes are permitted to enter into agreements and receive corresponding compensation with individuals who support or promote the athletics department, program, or assist with recruitment, also known as “boosters,” provided the agreement meets the requirements of this policy and the compensation is paid for work actually performed by the student-athlete and is not (i) a recruiting inducement; (ii) an inducement to remain enrolled at Adelphi; and/or (iii) is based on athletic performance.

Restrictions

• NCAA rules prohibiting pay-for-play and impermissible inducements remain in effect. Thus, NIL activities may not involve compensation for athletic participation or performance at Adelphi.
• NIL compensation cannot be used as a recruiting inducement to solicit a specific prospective student-athlete to Adelphi.
• 阿德尔菲的学生运动员可以获得专业建议，以帮助他们获得无球机会。然而，学生运动员与经纪人或其他专业顾问达成协议，在成为职业运动员的过程中代表或协助他们仍然是违反NCAA的规定的。因此，代理人、律师或类似的人只能用于NIL代表。
• Adelphi personnel are prohibited from assisting with or facilitating NIL opportunities for student-athletes.
• Adelphi student-athletes are prohibited from engaging in NIL activities during the course of official team activities including team competitions, practices, gatherings, and meetings. Similarly, Adelphi student-athletes are prohibited from engaging in NIL activities which conflict with academic obligations.

• NIL agreements shall not conflict with existing Adelphi University, Adelphi Athletics or any affiliated entity agreements, including but not limited to sponsorship agreements.
• Adelphi personnel may not compensate or arrange compensation to an Adelphi student-athlete or prospective student-athlete for use of their NIL.
• Adelphi University or Adelphi Athletics may not enter into an agreement with a student-athlete that prohibits a student-athlete’s ability to receive compensation for their NIL when the student-athlete is not engaged in official team activities.
• Student-athletes must not use their NIL to promote:
  • Products or services that are illegal
  • Alcohol, tobacco or vaping products
  • Substances that are banned by the NCAA
  • Adult entertainment

Other Applicable Policies and Guidelines

Disclosure of NIL Opportunities

Student-athletes must disclose all NIL opportunities by completing an NIL disclosure form for each agreement into which they enter with a third party. This form can be accessed via ARMS and must be submitted to the Adelphi Athletics Compliance Office no less than 5 days prior to the student-athlete entering into the NIL agreement or activity so that the compliance office can assist in ensuring that the activity is permissible and does not jeopardize the student-athlete’s eligibility. Transfer student-athletes are to disclose any NIL agreements within 15 days of matriculation at Adelphi University.

Use of Adelphi Facilities

学生运动员可要求使用阿德尔菲的设施作NIL用途(例如:营地、诊所、摄影)。使用阿德尔菲设施进行NIL活动必须事先获得授权和批准。如获批准，并提供标准租金、保险要求和完全执行的租赁协议。未经授权使用阿德菲公司的设施进行NIL活动不应被解释为阿德菲公司认可NIL机会或与该机会相关的任何产品。进一步的问题和信息可以通过体育部门的设施和比赛运营助理广告获得。
