The company's emblem, name, address and telephone number may be included with the trademark or logo. Personal names, messages and slogans (other than an officially registered trademark) are prohibited;

All moneys derived from the activity or project go directly to the member institution, member conference or the charitable, educational or nonprofit agency;

The student-athlete's name, picture or appearance is not utilized to promote the commercial ventures of any nonprofit agency;
