As defined by the NCAA, Boosters are "representatives of the institution's athletic interests." This includes anyone who has:
* Provided a donation in order to obtain season tickets for any sport at the university.
* Participated in or has been a member of an organization promoting the university's athletics programs.
* Made financial contributions to the athletic department or to a university booster organization.
* Arranged for or provided employment for enrolled student-athletes.
* Assisted or has been requested by university staff to assist in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes.
* Assisted in providing benefits to enrolled student athletes or their families.
* Been involved otherwise in promoting university athletics.
Once an individual is identified as a "representative of the institution's athletics interests," the person retains that identity forever.
Please remember that it is always better to ask before you act due to the repercussions that could occur from providing impermissible extra benefits - loss of student-athlete eligibility, jeopardize institutional membership with the NCAA and loss of access to booster benefits. If you have any questions, please contact Le Moyne College's Office of NCAA Compliance at (315) 445-4412.
