Institutional Events in the Student-Athlete’s Sport.

An institution may provide four complimentary admissions per home or away intercollegiate athletics event to a student-athlete in the sport in which the individual participates (either practices or competes), regardless of whether the student-athlete competes in the contest. Such complimentary admissions are for the use of the individuals designated by the student-athlete and may be issued through digital ticketing or a pass list on an individual-game basis
