mikejm Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 It is a violation of the NC$$ rules for a student athlete to receive any gratuities from a 'booster' (which is very clearly defined as a fan. You don't have to be a big monied alum to be considered a booster. Cheering for the team, wearing a jersey, just being a fan makes you a booster in the eyes of the NC$$). Basically the acceptance of ANY benefit from a booster/fan by a student athlete and/or recruit is a violation of NC$$ rules unless that same benefit is available to the general public. Or maybe, oh...I don't know...a couple of brats at a backyard cookout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCM Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Or maybe, oh...I don't know...a couple of brats at a backyard cookout? There's an NCAA exemption for "infrequent meals," believe it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux-cia Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Or maybe, oh...I don't know...a couple of brats at a backyard cookout? ....unless that same benefit is available to the general public. A couple of brats at a neighborhood back yard cookout with neighbors which includes hockey players who live in the neighborhood is NOT a violation of NCAA rules. (See bolded statement.) If the hosts charged all the neighbors a cover charge and made them pay for their food and drink to attend but exempted the hockey players that would be a violation of NCAA rules. I know you were joking but this brings up a very good point! In order to protect themselves from committing an NC$$ violation, the student athlete has to be very careful about what they can accept from fans and friends. Having someone buy you a drink or accepting a simple little birthday or Christmas gift can be a violation. I understant that before a little cookout that includes student athletes can actually occur there are a lot of phone calls to 'officials' for clarification, permission, etc. that take place before the actual event. If you want to include a student athlete to pretty much anything, be prepared to spend a lot of time on the phone. You also want to protect the student athlete from unwittingly committing a violation. AND there is the 'infrequent meal' exemption that PCM ponts out.

One school I know of makes you have a letter on file with the Athletic Dept. if you want to have the players over for an occasional meal. And it clearly states that "occasional" does not mean weekly. They give you all the info on what is and is not acceptable. So, you have to have approval from the University first before you can have players over for a meal.

PCM Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 So, you have to have approval from the University first before you can have players over for a meal. While it's probably a good idea to inform the university, you don't have to because there's a specific exemption in the NCAA rules about this very situation.

MafiaMan Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Lucia had set a deadline of the start of season for the players to pay for all of drinks that they had received. Briggs had not paid anything to Blarney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejm Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Here is UND's guidance on compliance with NCAA rules regarding "booster" interaction with recruits and/or enrolled student-athletes. Pretty strict. http://www.fightingsioux.com/info/booster/ And that occasional "family" meal must be provided in the booster's home; not in a restaurant, etc. Clearly the MPLS bar thing is a violation. I merely post the abovbe guidelines to illustrate how strictly governed "our" behavior is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THETRIOUXPER Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I hereby suspend mikejm from all hockey activities, for drinking light beer at least weeks tailgate party!
