Yale University Athletics Compliance
Compliance is a shared responsibility - this means that everyone
involved in athletics, including coaches, student-athletes, and
boosters are responsible for ensuring that all applicable NCAA,
Ivy, ECAC and Yale University regulations are followed. Please use
this website as a resource for information regarding compliance and
eligibility to participate in athletics at Yale.
Eligibility
In order to be eligible for practice and/or competition,
student-athletes must be enrolled in at least three credits during
any semester. If a student drops below three credits, he/she
becomes immediately ineligible for practice and/or competition.
Students are also required to meet NCAA continuing eligibility
standards. If you have any questions regarding your eligibility
status, please do not hesitate to contact Daniel
Silverman (daniel.c.silverman@yale.edu).
Amateurism
Retaining amateur status is required for participation in varsity
athletics. Ivy League regulations require that a student-athlete be
an amateur in all sports in order to compete in any sport. This
differs from the NCAA regulations that only require a
student-athlete to maintain amateur status in the sport(s) in which
he/she competes. If you have any questions regarding your
amateurism status, please do not hesitate to contact Daniel
Silverman (daniel.c.silverman@yale.edu).
Gambling
Sports wagering is a very serious issue and can lead to the
permanent loss of intercollegiate eligibility. A student-athlete
will become ineligible if he/she:
- Provides information to individuals involved in organized gambling activities concerning intercollegiate athletics competition;
- Solicits a bet on any intercollegiate team;
- Accepts a bet on any team representing the institution;
- Solicits or accepts a bet on any intercollegiate competition for any item (e.g., cash, shirt, dinner) that has tangible value;
- Participates in any gambling activity that involves intercollegiate or professional athletics, through a bookmaker, parlay card, or any other method employed by organized gambling.
