In collegiate athletics, boosters play a vital role in
providing student-athletes with a positive experience through their
enthusiastic efforts. They can support teams and athletics
departments through donations of time and financial resources which
help student-athletes succeed on and off the playing field.
Boosters, referred to by the NCAA as "representatives of
athletics interest," include 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 athletics 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
