     § 3314.  Civil remedies.
        (a)  Right of action.--An educational institution has a right
     of action against an athlete agent or a former student athlete
     for damages caused by a violation of this part or for a
     violation of 18 Pa.C.S. § 7107 (relating to unlawful actions by
     athlete agents). In an action under this section, the court may
     award to the prevailing party costs and reasonable attorney
     fees.
        (b)  Damages.--Damages of an educational institution under
     subsection (a) include losses and expenses incurred because, as
     a result of the activities of an athlete agent or former student
     athlete, the educational institution was injured by a violation
     of this part or was penalized, disqualified or suspended from
     participation in athletics by a national association for the
     promotion and regulation of athletics, by an athletic conference
     or by reasonable self-imposed disciplinary action taken to
     mitigate sanctions.
        (c)  Accrual of action.--A right of action under this section
     does not accrue until the educational institution discovers or
     by the exercise of reasonable diligence would have discovered
     the violation by the athlete agent or former student athlete.
        (d)  Liability.--Any liability of the athlete agent or the
     former student athlete under this section is several and not
     joint.
        (e)  Other rights and remedies.--This part does not restrict
     rights, remedies or defenses of any person under law.
