Sports other than basketball:
A student-athlete may not participate during the academic year as a
member of any outside team in any non-collegiate, amateur
competition. To do so would render that student-athlete ineligible
for the rest of that academic year and for the next academic year.
(EXCEPTION: A student-athlete may compete outside
of the institution's declared playing and practice season as a
member of an outside team in any non-collegiate, amateur
competition during any official vacation period published in the
institution's catalog [i.e., the last date for the final exam
period that is published in the institution's catalog is when the
semester officially ends]. The number of student-athletes from any
one institution shall not exceed the applicable limits set forth in
the NCAA bylaws.) Always check with your coach prior to
participating in any summer competition. Note: Division I soccer
and women's volleyball student-athletes should see their coach
and/or the assistant athletic director for compliance for more
details.
Basketball:
A student-athlete in basketball may not participate in any outside
organized competition during the academic year. Summer
participation is permissible only in those summer leagues
sanctioned by the NCAA. Student-athletes who are members of the
basketball teams may compete only during the period between June 15
and Aug. 31 on a team approved by the NCAA. They must receive prior
written permission from Butler to participate (this applies to all
organized competition, including 3-on-3 basketball
tournament/leagues and state games). Two players from Butler may
participate on a team. Two Butler players may play on the same team
in the Hoosier State Games (or other official state games). Always
check with your coach and/or the assistant athletic director for
compliance prior to participating, being sure to receive proper
prior written permission.
