A third party may only promote an intercollegiate athletics program, assist with recruiting, or assist with providing benefits to student athletes or the family members of student athletes if the third party is formally associated with an institution of higher education through a written contract pursuant to the normal policies of the institution of higher education. An individual, booster, or third party may not offer or provide a prospective student athlete or a student athlete with any compensation or benefit that is intended to induce the prospective student athlete or student athlete to enroll in or transfer to a particular institution of higher education.
Nothing in this subsection may be construed to prohibit an individual, booster, or third party from offering or providing a bona fide grant that may be used by a prospective student athlete or student athlete solely for the payment of tuition, room and board, or other fees charged by an institution of higher education for enrollment in an academic program offered by the institution of higher education. A third party associated with an institution of higher education shall offer equal representation of, and provide equal services to, all student athletes in all intercollegiate athletics programs at the institution of higher education.
