.4.2 Representatives of Athletics Interests. An institution's "responsibility" for the conduct of its intercollegiate athletics program shall include responsibility for the acts of individuals, a corporate entity (e.g., apparel or equipment manufacturer) or other organization when a member of the institution's executive or athletics administration or an athletics department staff member has knowledge or should have knowledge that such an individual, corporate entity or other organization: (Revised: 2/16/00)

(a) Has participated in or is a member of an agency or organization as described in Constitution 6.4.1;

(b) Has made financial contributions to the athletics department or to an athletics booster organization of that institution;

(c) Has been requested by the athletics department staff to assist in the recruitment of prospective student athletes or is assisting in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes;

(d) Has assisted or is assisting in providing benefits to enrolled student-athletes; or

(e) Is otherwise involved in promoting the institution's athletics program.

You're probably wondering how you become a booster without ever giving a dime to an athletics booster organization or to the school directly. Because, invariably, the money you spent on that NCAA- or school-licensed shirt or cap or grill topper finds its way to the athletic department and/or booster organization of your chosen school. Case in point: Auburn's athletics booster organization owns the iconic interlocking AU logo. Thus, every time you buy a licensed item with that logo attached you have donated to Tigers Unlimited as well as Auburn University's general scholarship fund (which is used to fund athletic scholarships as well). Voila, you are now a booster.

So, why is all of this significant? Boosters cannot recruit or contact recruits, y'all. NCAA Bylaw 13.1.2:

13.1.2.1 General Rule. All in-person, on- and off-campus recruiting contacts with a prospective student-athlete or the prospective student-athlete's relatives or legal guardians shall be made only by authorized institutional staff members. Such contact, as well as correspondence and telephone calls, by representatives of an institution's athletics interests is prohibited except as otherwise permitted in this section. Violations of this bylaw involving individuals other than a representative of an institution's athletics interests shall be considered institutional violations per Constitution 2.8.1.

So you're sitting there saying, "But if I do Facebook or Tweet to a recruit, it won't affect his eligibility." You would be correct in that thought. But at the same time, you are endangering the school you so dearly love with institutional violations. Never mind the fact that the NCAA compliance officials at your school are charged with reporting these contacts to the NCAA. By contacting recruits, you take time away from compliance officers attempting to do their job of doing constructive things aimed at helping the student athletes and recruits that you just contact. And besides, I think I speak for most folk when I say that persuasively contacting a 17- or 18-year-old kid that is on the verge of making one of the biggest decisions of his life is both ill-advised and let's face it ... creepy.

Thank you for posting that! So are you rebutting your own point?,lol

[31Ragin97]

how does the "post-bowl" film breakdown session work? must it wait until spring since only conditioning and strength can occur in the of-season? or does the off-season officially begin some small number of days after the bowl?

[31Ragin97]

Hmm, but all recruits are eligible!!!!
