22.2.2 Reporting of Noninstitutional Name, Image and Likeness Activities. A student-athlete (including a student-athlete who attends an institution that is not a member of a defendant conference in the House settlement or does not provide additional benefits contemplated by the settlement) shall report all noninstitutional name, image and likeness contracts or payment terms, including those involving associated entities or individuals, with a total value of $600 or more to the designated name, image and likeness clearinghouse for review. If an individual enters into multiple agreements or receives multiple payments from the same or substantially the same third party, including any affiliates or parties with common ownership, such activities must be reported if the aggregate value is $600 or more during the student-athlete’s period of eligibility.
[22.2.2.1 through 22.2.2.4 unchanged.]

22.2.2.5.1 High School and Two-Year College Prospective Student-Atheltes. A prospective student-athlete initially enrolling at a Division I institution shall report all noninstitutional name, image, and likeness contracts or payment terms with compensation of $600 or more that have been executed or agreed upon from the first day of classes of the prospective student-athlete’s junior year in high school or the date of initial enrollment at a two-year college. If an individual enters into multiple agreements or receives multiple payments from the same or substantially the same third party, such activities must be reported if the aggregate compensation is $600 or more during the established reporting period.
22.2.2.5.2 Four-Year College Transfers. Prospective four-year college transfers shall report all noninstitutional name, image, and likeness contracts or payment terms with compensation of $600 or more that have been executed from the date in which the student-athlete’s name was officially entered into the NCAA Transfer Portal. A transfer who has previously reported a deal that will remain in place upon transfer shall not be required to resubmit the deal if it has been approved by the CSC. If an individual enters into multiple agreements or receives multiple payments from the same or substantially the same third party, such activities must be reported if the aggregate compensation is $600 or more during the established reporting period.
22.2.2.5.3 Timing of Reporting. An incoming prospective student-athlete must report noninstitutional name, image and likeness contracts or payment terms not later than either 14 days after initial full-time enrollment at a Division I institution, or prior to the institution’s first scheduled contest against outside competition in the individual's sport, whichever occurs first.
