NCAA Guidelines and the Media Media members should be aware of several NCAA rules that apply to student-athletes. If there is ever a question if any media-related activity or event including a Nicholls State University student-athlete could be a possible NCAA violation, contact the Nicholls Com- pliance Office for an interpretation. Areas of concern include: • Coaches and University officials cannot make comments on prospective student-athletes until they sign a National Letter of In- tent. A coach cannot comment on a prospective student-athlete who verbally commits to an institution. • Coaches and athletic staff are not permitted to write guest columns for publications. • Sudent-athletes are not authorized to list or endorse products. • Commercial photographers cannot provide student-athletes with photographs or slides. The sports information office offers a similar service for student-athletes to purchase photographs. • Student-athletes may not be used in advertisements or endorsements of products, including media-related publications or on ra- dio. • Student-athletes are not permitted to conduct interviews for 1-900 services.
