1. Running Pass Patterns/Drills During Football Strength and Conditioning Training Sessions. As part of the five consecutive weeks during the nontraditional segment in which conditioning and strength training sessions may be conducted in football in accordance with 2002 Convention Proposal No. 54, it is permissible for a football student-athlete to run pass patterns/
drills, provided no equipment is used. This prohibition against the use of equipment includes the use of footballs.

2. Fulfillment of an Academic Year in Residence. In order to fulfill the academic year in residence requirement specified in 2002 Convention Proposal No. 40, the requirements of NCAA Bylaw 14.5.1.2 (Determination of Year in Residence) must be satisfied, and the student-athlete must not engage in intercollegiate competition. The year in residence may be fulfilled at any one collegiate institution.

3. Repeat Year in High School. If an individual must repeat a year of high school for legitimate reasons, for purposes of 2002 Convention Proposal No. 40, the individual's expected date of high-school graduation will be extended. Accordingly, an individual who legitimately is repeating a year in high school will not be subject to the requirements of Proposal No. 40 while still enrolled full time in high school.

4. Definition of Actual and Necessary Expenses. For the purposes of 2002 Convention Proposal No. 40, actual and necessary expenses shall be defined as any of the following:

Meals directly tied to competition;

Lodging directly tied to competition;

Apparel, equipment, and/or supplies;

Coaching and/or instruction;

Health/medical insurance;

Transportation (that is, expenses to and from practice and competition, cost of transportation from home to training/practice site to home at the end of season);

Medical treatment and/or physical therapy;

Facility usage; and

Entry fees.

5. Termination of Contract. For purposes of 2002 Convention Proposal No. 43, if an individual signs a contractual agreement to play professional athletics in a particular sport before initial full-time collegiate enrollment, all relationships with the professional team and all terms of the contractual agreement must be severed by the time of the individual's initial full-time collegiate enrollment. An individual may not remain under contract with a professional team in a particular sport while enrolled at a Division III institution and still remain eligible for intercollegiate competition in that sport.

6. Academic Year-in-Residence Requirement is Sport-Specific. The provisions of 2002 Convention Proposal No. 40 are sport-specific. Consequently, an individual who is required to serve an academic year in residence in a particular sport due to participation in any activities specified in Bylaw 14.2.4.3.2 would be eligible to compete in other intercollegiate sports without serving the residency requirement.
