CHANCELLORS



Delegation of Authority -- Intercollegiate Athletic Contracts



Under authority granted to the President in Section 101.1(aa) of

the Standing Orders of The Regents and subject to the

restrictions and limitations set forth therein, you are

authorized to enter into and execute contracts necessary for the

conduct of the intercollegiate athletics programs of the

University as follows:



    Normal service-type contracts incident to conducting an

    intercollegiate athletics program, e.g., game contracts,

    transportation, concessions, and employment contracts with

    athletic coaches and other support personnel employed by

    special employment contracts.



Such contracts shall be subject to Regental and University

policy, for example:  employment contracts involving an annual

compensation of $30,000 or more shall require approval by The

Regents upon recommendation of the President; contracts involving

the rental of University property in excess of $10,000 annually

must be submitted to The Regents for approval; use of the

University's name by organizations and groups shall be in

conformity with the University Policy to Permit Use of the

University's Name.



Chancellors are authorized to execute employment contracts

requiring approval by The Regents after Regental approval of the

salaries for athletic personnel in this category.



All contracts, unless specifically pre-approved as to from, must

be reviewed and approved by the General Counsel.  In addition,

contracts involving contractual arrangements beyond the customary

arrangements must be submitted to the General Counsel for review

to determine whether or not they are within the scope of this

delegation.



This delegation supersedes that of August 7, 1968 and is

effective immediately.
