mage by nonparticipating schools, in any sport, is considered unsportsmanlike conduct, unless agreed upon by

and basketball, the fee is set at $100.00, AM, FM or internet audio stream. For all other sports the

nity to broadcast a playoff contest by a member school without approval of the Association.
(2) Provided the outlet is in good standing with the NCHSAA and the Member School, mean-
ing all required broadcast fees have been paid for any game broadcast and there have been
no disciplinary actions outlined by the NCHSAA or member school for a broadcast outlet, a
host athletic director may consider a station to be approved to conduct an audio-only/radio
broadcast of a playoff contest even without written notice of approval from the NCHSAA.
This automatic approval does not include any outlet seeking a video broadcast.
(b) Any broadcast aired on multiple outlets, over the air or cable, is subject to the appropriate fee for
each outlet or cable system airing the contest.
(c) All broadcast fees for post-season broadcasts are payable to the host institution or for contests host-
ed by the NCHSAA at neutral sites, to the NCHSAA prior to the beginning of the contest.
(d) A live telecast (over-the-air, cable or satellite) of a playoff game must be approved by the NCHSAA
and the holder of television rights, if any, which the Association has granted.
