Top 6 Things Every Golden Grizzlies Fan Should Know:
- You may not have recruiting conversations with prospects or their families. A prospect is any student who has begun classes for the 9th grade (7th grade for softball and men's basketball). This includes in-person contact on- or off-campus, by telephone or in writing (e.g., email, Twitter, Facebook, etc.).
- You may not provide benefits to a student-athlete, a prospect or their family/friends, unless such benefits are available to the general public or all Oakland University students. Examples include: transportation, cash, gifts, meals, clothing, use of unadvertised discounts, etc.
- You may not use a student-athlete's name, picture or appearance in a commercial advertisement, business promotion or product endorsement.
- You may not purchase game tickets, apparel, equipment or awards from current student-athletes.
- You may not sell any memorabilia using the name or image of a current student-athlete, including items that have been autographed by a current student-athlete.
- Duration of Status: Once a “representative of the institution’s athletics interests (e.g. a booster)” is identified as such, they retain this status for life.
