§8481 — Title 10 Armed Forces | U.S. Code

Summary

The Secretary of the Navy can make contracts, cooperative agreements, leases, and licenses with the Naval Academy Athletic Association to support the Naval Academy’s sports and fitness programs. The Navy can deal directly with the Association without competitive bidding when allowed, and the Association may get Navy property to use for these programs at no charge. Cooperative agreements can buy property or services that directly help the Academy. Money, supplies, or services from the Association or the NCAA can be accepted, and those funds can be kept and used until spent. People who work for the Association are not federal employees. Any gifts or deals must not make the Navy or its people look biased or hurt the integrity of Navy programs. The Association may also be allowed to handle trademarks, marketing, and sponsorships for the Academy with Navy approval, but not if those deals would harm the Navy’s fairness or integrity. The Navy’s authority here only applies while the Association stays a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, follows Maryland law and its own rules, and works only to support the Academy’s athletic and fitness programs. Defined term: Association — Naval Academy Athletic Association.
