Compliance meetings are considered a Required Athletically Related Activity (RARA – 17.02.14) and are not counted against the team’s 20/8 hour CARA limit.

This must occur for an activity to be considered Voluntary.

• Attendance is recorded & reported by Trainer

Answer explanation

Not Required to report Back (17.02.19 Voluntary Athletically Related Activities. In order for any athletically related activity to be considered "voluntary," the student-athlete must not be required to report back to a coach or other athletics department staff member (e.g., strength coach, trainer, manager) any information related to the activity. In addition, no athletics department staff member who observes the activity (e.g., trainer, manager) may report back to the student-athlete's coach any information related to the activity).

Which of the following is an IMPERMISSIBLE use of social media?

Answer explanation

Pursuant to 11.3.2.7.1, a staff member may take actions (e.g., “like,” “favorite,” etc.) that indicate approval of content on social media. Though congratulatory messages congratulating a PSA’s team or
