The athletics department will not accept items dropped off or sent to the athletics department without prior approval. Approval or denial will be granted following a review of each submitted request. Please allow 3-7 days to receive approval/denial via email. For any questions, please email the
Troy University Compliance Office.
Once approved, the requester will be responsible for shipping the item to the athletics department and providing the appropriate packing and postage to return the item to the requester. Items without appropriate packing and postage will not be autographed.
NOTE: Troy University does not provide items for autograph requests.
The acceptable items for a football autograph are a mini-helmet, football or photograph. All other sports do not have any limitations on the items that will be accepted for an autograph. Please note that there is a one-item limit per individual or organization each academic year (August - July).
Please allow six (6) weeks for the completion of your request. Depending on the time of year, the process may take longer.
Due to NCAA rules, we are unable to fulfill any request for autographs from any student-athletes. If you wish to have a student-athlete autograph an item, please attend one of the events listed below.
NCAA Guidelines require that the following conditions be met in regards to institutional memorabilia and autographs:
The requested item may not be used in fundraising events for any high school organization, high school fund raising event that will benefit a charity or educational project or any high school or prospect-aged individual. High school is defined as grades nine through twelve (12).
All monies derived from the promotions activity or project must go directly to the charity, non-profit agency or educational institution listed.
The requested item involving student-athlete's names may not involve co-sponsorship, advertisement or promotion by a commercial agency other than a company's logo or trademark on printed materials.
An authorized representative of the agency must sign a waiver agreeing to adhere to all NCAA guidelines regarding this request.
Use of the memorabilia item must have written approval from the Athletic Compliance Office.
Memorabilia may not be re-sold for any purpose without Athletic Compliance Office approval.
NOTE: When submitting the request, understand that Troy University reserves the right to request the return of the memorabilia or autographed item when guidelines are not followed.
