SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE POLICY


STUDENT-ATHLETE CONSENT FORM

It is the policy of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) for each of its member
institutions to request that each of its student-athletes provide a written consent, worded as
follows, each season:

I hereby grant permission for all sports contests, practices, news conferences, and
related sports events in which I participate or for which I am present as a student-
athlete of University Of Georgia (collectively referred to as Events) to be
broadcast, rebroadcast or otherwise transmitted and distributed, in whole or in
part, on television, by the internet, and by any other means (collectively referred
to as Broadcasts). I acknowledge and agree that the copyright to each
Broadcast will initially vest in the broadcaster of each such Event, and that each
broadcaster and its assignees and licensees will have and enjoy the non-exclusive,
transferable, perpetual right to use (and to license and sub-license, without
limitation) any such Broadcasts. I also acknowledge and agree that the University
of Georgia, the Southeastern Conference, the NCAA, and each broadcaster may
use my picture and name to promote and publicize the University of Georgia, the
Conference, the NCAA and their various sports contests, practices, news
conferences, and related sports events (including in programs, media guides,
television spots, and other media) and for other news and informational purposes.

While certain NCAA-required forms must be executed as a condition of participation, execution
of the above-quoted consent form is not required to participate in an SEC sport, but if a student-
athlete declines to execute the consent form: (1) the student-athlete should not appear in media
guides or other promotional materials (absent separate consent), and (2) the student-athlete
should be informed, in writing, that if he or she participates in sports contests and other functions
or events, those contests, functions and events may be televised or otherwise distributed (on the
internet, and by other means), but that neither the member-institution nor the SEC will authorize
the use of any portion of these broadcasts in a way (such as for endorsement or promotional
purposes) that would require a publicity rights consent or release executed by the student-athlete.
