Personal names, messages, and slogans (other than an officially registered trademark) are prohibited;
C. The name or picture of a student-athlete with remaining eligibility may not appear on an institution’s printed promotional item (e.g., poster, calendar) that includes a reproduction of a product with which a commercial entity is associated if the commercial entity’s officially registered regular trademark or logo also appears on the item;
D. The student-athlete does not miss class;
E. All monies derived from the activity go directly to the charitable or educational agency;
