44 2008-09 MICHIGAN STATE MEN’S GOLF NCAA COMPLIANCE MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY

The Michigan State University Offi ce of Compliance Services is committed to a comprehensive compliance program that educates student-athletes, prospective student-athletes, institutional employees, community members and boosters about the importance of adhering to NCAA, Big Ten and institutional rules. The commitment to compliance ensures institutional control over the department of athletics. The existence of a successful compliance program depends on the willingness of coaches, administrators, staff , student-athletes and boosters to be cognizant of NCAA, Big Ten and institutional rules.

WHAT IS COMPLIANCE? At Michigan State University, the Offi ce of Compliance Services works within the department of athletics and the University to ensure MSU’s compliance with all applicable NCAA, Big Ten and institutional rules. In doing so, the compliance offi ce is charged with the following tasks: • Educating administrators, coaches, staff , prospective student-athletes, current student-athletes and boosters about NCAA, Big Ten and institutional rules; • Developing monitoring systems to ensure compliance with NCAA, Big Ten and institutional rules (e.g., recruiting, academic eligibility, fi nancial aid, awards and benefi ts, amateurism and agents). • Investigating and reporting violations of NCAA, Big Ten and institutional rules.

ARE YOU A BOOSTER? You are a booster if you are or ever have: • Been a member of a booster organization that supports MSU athletics (e.g., Downtown Coaches Club, Rebounders Club, Fast Break Club); • Made any fi nancial contributions to the athletics department (e.g., Spartan Fund); • Been involved in promoting MSU’s athletics program; • Been a season ticket holder; or • Provided benefi ts to enrolled student-athletes or their relatives or friends. You can become a booster if you provide benefi ts to prospects, student-athletes, their relatives or friends and any of the following statements are true: • The relationship between the athlete (or parents of the athlete) and the individual providing the benefi ts developed as a result of the athlete’s participation in athletics or their reputation as an athlete; • The relationship began only after the athlete become a prospect; • The relationship began only after the athlete had achieved notoriety due to his or her athletic ability or reputation; • The pattern of benefi ts increased after the athlete attained notoriety as a talented athlete.

ONCE A BOOSTER ALWAYS A BOOSTER. Once an individual is identifi ed as a booster, the person retains that identity FOREVER! This is true even if the individual no longer contributes to, or is involved with MSU’s athletics program.

WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE? A prospective student-athlete (prospect) is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade. Student-athletes enrolled in preparatory schools and two-year colleges are also considered prospects. An individual remains a prospect even after he/she signs a National Letter of Intent.

RECRUITING DO’S AND DON’TS Only MSU coaches may be involved in the recruiting process. Boosters MAY NOT make any recruiting contacts with prospective student-athletes. Boosters are prohibited from the following: • DO NOT telephone, write or make in-person contact with a prospect for recruiting purposes. • DO NOT contact a prospect’s coach, principal or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the prospect. • DO NOT become involved in making arrangements for a prospect, the prospect’s relatives or friends to receive money or fi nancial aid of any kind. • DO NOT visit a prospect’s school to acquire fi lms or transcripts in an attempt to evaluate the prospect’s academic or athletics eligibility. • DO NOT have contact with a prospect, their relatives or friends during any of their visits to MSU’s campus. • DO NOT contact student-athletes enrolled in other four-year institutions regarding the possibility of transferring to MSU. Even though there are many rules prohibiting your involvement with prospects and the recruiting process, as a booster you are permitted to do the following: • Notify MSU coaching staff about noteworthy prospects in your area. • Attend a prospect’s athletics event on your own initiative, provided no contact with the prospect, the prospect’s parents or coach occurs. • Continue existing friendships, provided solicitation of a prospect’s enrollment does not occur.

WHAT IS AN EXTRA BENEFIT? An extra benefi t is any special arrangement by a MSU employee or booster to provide a prospect, student-athlete or their relatives or friends a benefi t not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible benefi ts include, but are not limited to, the following: • Gifts of cash, clothing, equipment or any other tangible item; • A special discount, payment arrangement or credit on any purchase or service; • Loan of money or cosigning of loans; • A vehicle, use of a vehicle, or any transportation expenses; • Free or reduced-cost services, purchases or rentals; • Entertainment on- or off -campus; or • Free or reduced-cost rent or housing.

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES? MSU is responsible for the actions of its boosters. If a booster provides an impermissible benefi t to a prospect, student-athlete, their relatives or friends, MSU may be subject to penalties from the NCAA and Big Ten Conference. When a violation occurs, regardless of intention, it can: • Jeopardize the eligibility of prospective and current student-athletes; • Result in the MSU athletics program being penalized by the NCAA and/or Big Ten Conference; and • Cause you to lose benefi ts or privileges associated with the athletics department (i.e., booster club membership, ticket privileges).

QUESTIONS? The above information is a brief overview of compliance and rules pertaining to boosters and their interactions with prospective student-athletes. If you have any questions about any NCAA, Big Ten or institutional rules, please contact the Offi ce of Compliance Services at (517) 432-5510. For more information on compliance and boosters, please visit the Offi ce of Compliance Services’ website at www.msu.edu/user/msuncaa/.
