Unless things have changed, at UT it is volunteer. Most girls I knew used it to meet guys or put it on their resume. One ended up with several coaches serving as references after she graduated.

And blueraider is right, the NCAA is an organization... and has few really solid rules for enforcement and penalties. This isn't the government we're talking about, if they say its major... its major. If they say we did something wrong, we did something wrong.

We'll likely be found guilty of something, and given some minor penalty to offset the offsite recruiting by these hostesses. Maybe a coach will be forced to sit out on recruiting. Who knows.

If this turns out in some absurd way that just makes it obvious they're trying to teach Lane a lesson, such as declaring players ineligible... then I'd be shocked if that held up on appeal.

Thanks. I just want you guys to be informed.

But, here is a general rule this is taken from a different NCAA school, but the same rules apply:


You are a Booster if:
1. You have ever participated in Clarkson University Athletics.
2. You have made financial contributions to the athletic programs.
3. You have been asked by athletic department staff to assist in recruiting.
4. You have assisted or are providing benefits (ie. summer jobs, or occasional family
meals) to enrolled Student Athletes.
5. You have otherwise been involved in promoting Clarkson Athletics in any way.

That's a B-I-G violation. Don't recommend doing that. Had that happen last year and the kid had to be banned from all athletic events.

Okay, let me rephrase that... 'big' secondary violation.

Can you give us any kind of prognostication on what is the worst that could come out of this? Do you think it is just going to be a secondary violation?

So boosters can't go to HS football games? Compliance is going to have their hands full with that one.

Maybe, if they aren't involved in anyway or going to try and influence a recruits decision. Ever wonder why typically ONLY the coaches go to game and represent the university during eval and contact periods?? This is why.

Worse case scenario: NCAA decides to open an internal investigation and review everything the football department does. It would require an intense investigation that would last a few months.

Most likely: Secondary would indicate you lose one hour with a recruit or a few hours of practice.
