To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the South Carolina Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:
I request the NCAA Membership Financial Reporting System revenue and expense reports for fiscal years 2023 & 2024. These reports are completed by the athletic department for the National Collegiate Athletic Association for the fiscal years listed above. This report is a multi-page document that had to be submitted to the NCAA in January. It contains 40+ revenue and expense categories, followed by specific breakdowns of each of those categories, by sport and gender. I am requesting the full report, including the detail tables, the “Other Reporting Items” list and the “Statement of Revenues and Expenses” that appears at the end of the report. PLEASE NOTE: The NCAA report is different than the equity report that is sent to the U.S. Department of Education for Title IX compliance.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 15 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Stacey Brook

Dear Stacey Brook
This is in response to the Freedom of Information Act request that you recently directed to the University of South Carolina. The University has determined that it possesses documents that are responsive to your request. However, the University anticipates that some of the responsive documents, or portions of them, may be exempt from disclosure under the Act.
The Freedom of Information Act authorizes the University to collect fees not to exceed the actual cost of searching for, retrieving, redacting, and making copies of the records you have requested. The Act also authorizes the University to require you to post a deposit of 25% of the estimated costs before searching for or making copies of the records.
The University estimates that the total cost it will incur to respond to your request will be $6.25. Therefore, you must post a deposit of at least $1.56 before it gathers the records you requested. If you would like to proceed with your request in its current form, then please forward a check payable to “University of South Carolina” to me at your earliest convenience. The University will make the non-exempt documents that are responsive to your request available to you as soon as reasonably possible after it receives your deposit.
The South Carolina Family Privacy Protection Act, SC Code section 30-2-10 et seq., prohibits a person or entity from obtaining or using personal information from records obtained from University for purposes of commercial solicitation as defined in that Act. A person or entity that violates the Act is subject to criminal penalties, including possible fines and imprisonment. If you obtain records from the University, you are certifying that you will not obtain or use these records for commercial solicitation in violation of the South Carolina Family Privacy Protection Act.
