More than 10,000 fans regularly attend each skull session.

Examples of impermissible extra benefits include but are not limited to: Phone: (614) 292-2681 • cash or any type of gifts; Fax: (614) 292-0199 • loans or cosigning of loans; E-mail: compliance@ • vehicle or the use of a vehicle; buckeyes.ath.ohio-state.edu • payment for or arrangement of transportation costs; • free or reduced cost goods or services; • free or reduced cost housing; • concert or sporting event tickets; or • any item not expressly permitted under NCAA rules

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES? Ohio State is responsible for the actions of its boosters. If a booster provides an impermissible benefit to a prospect, a student-athlete, or their relatives or friends, Ohio State may be subject to penalties, even if the student-athlete has completed his or her eligibility. The prospect or student-athlete who accepts an impermissible benefit jeopardizes his or her eligibility for intercollegiate competition. A booster who provides an impermissible benefit may be disassociated from the university’s athletics program. Disassociation results in a loss of all benefits or privileges offered by the department of athletics and may involve other penalties as appropriate.
