Supplemental Pay

Supplemental pay is defined as the donation of cash from outside sources to the institution earmarked for the staff member’s salary or supplemental income. Such arrangements are impermissible under NCAA rules. It is permissible for an outside source to donate funds to the institution to be used as determined by the institution, and it would be permissible for the institution, at its sole discretion, to use such funds to pay or supplement a staff member’s salary. An outside source is prohibited from paying or regularly supplementing an athletics department staff member’s annual salary and from arranging to supplement that salary for an unspecified achievement.
