Provision of Electronic Media Guides to Prospective Student-Athletes (I)
The academic and membership affairs staff determined it is permissible for an institution to provide prospective student-athletes with a media guide on a digital media storage device (e.g., compact disc, flash drive, memory disk), provided the storage device does not include any content other than an exact reproduction of the media guide. Further, any packaging (e.g., label, insert) is limited to a reproduction of the image(s) contained on the cover of the media guide or other identification of the institution (e.g., name, logo) and the media guide (e.g., sport). Finally, storage devices used for this purpose must not exceed the minimum standard capacity necessary to store the media guide (e.g., a media guide of 103 megabytes should be stored on a standard 128 megabyte flash drive).

Video Materials Shown to a Prospective Student-Athlete (I)
The committee determined that an institution is not permitted to show or display a videogame (e.g., simulation of institutional contest) for a prospective student-athlete in any location (e.g., on its scoreboard), at any time (e.g., during a visit to campus).
