2013 FOOTBALL FAN GUIDE LSU 13 Tailgating Policies Tailgating has become a part of college football all across the country, but at LSU, for Tiger fans it is an art form. Over two-thirds of Tiger fans tailgate for five or more hours before every game, and many begin celebrating the great Tiger football experience more than 24 hours before kickoff. LSU encourages its fans to come to campus early and enjoy the great tradition of tailgating. LSU also encourages its fans to tailgate in a responsible manner, respectful of the campus and of other Tiger fans and fans from visiting schools. Help us keep your campus clean by bagging your trash and using recycling containers. LSU’s Facility Services Department distributes trash bags throughout campus on game days for your convenience. For the safety and enjoyment of all fans, please keep the following guidelines in mind when tailgating at LSU football games. Please note that tailgate setups are subject to removal for violation of tailgating policies.

As a booster, you are permitted to: • Notify our coaches about prospects in your area that may be strong additions to our team. • Attend high school or two year college athletic contests or other events where prospects may compete; however, you may not contact the prospect or the prospect’s relatives or legal guardian(s). • Continue existing friendships with families of prospects, but you may not attempt to recruit the prospect.
Benefits for Enrolled Student-Athletes Receipt of an award, benefit or expenses allowance by a student-athlete, not authorized by the NCAA, renders the student-athlete ineligible for athletics competition. An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a representative of the institution’s athletics interest to provide a student-athlete or the student-athlete’s relative or friend a benefit not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation. In general, boosters may not provide anything or make special arrangements for student- athletes (and prospective student-athletes) and the student-athletes’ friends or relatives that are not available to the general student population. Examples of extra benefits not allowed by NCAA rules include, but are not limited to, the following: • Providing cash or loans in any amount, or signing or co-signing for a loan. • Providing gifts of any kind, including birthday cards and holiday gifts. • Providing special discounts for goods and services (e.g., movie tickets, car repair, legal services, clothing, haircuts, meals). • Providing the use of an automobile, telephone. • Providing free or reduced rent or housing. • Providing student-athletes money for the exchange of complimentary tickets.

A request form must be completed and approved by the LSU Compliance Office prior to inviting the student-athlete. • Meet with and receive autographs from student-athletes during LSU-sponsored pre-season events (i.e. Fan Photo Day or Meet the Team). Please be aware it is not permissible for you to sell the autographs or use the autographs to raise money for a special project.
