At the discretion of the institution, the apparel may be considered property of the S/A and may not be sold by the S/A. A S/A may retain athletics apparel items (not equipment) at the end of the individual’s intercollegiate participation.

Counting Days During defined championship or nonchampionship segment, each day counts excluding: Required days off (1 day per week) Official vacation, holiday and final-exam periods when no practice or competition occurs This does not apply to basketball or football. Baseball and softball are not affected by this during their nonchampionship segment.

Counting Days Example When two days are given off (free of any countable athletically related activities) in one week during a championship or nonchampionship segment, one of the days will still count towards the team’s playing season.
