0I received this email today from the LSU Athletic Department. We have had prospective student-athletes posting on here, and the message below states that we cannot allow that anymore.
quote:
Please see the note below from LSU Associate AD for Compliance Bo Kerin regarding message boards and NCAA rules regarding communication on those sites with fans and prospective student-athletes. We ask in an effort to educate or fans that you please post the following message to your site.
As we prepare for a new athletic year, the LSU Athletic Department is issuing the following advisory regarding NCAA rules and asking operators of online message boards to please share the following message with their members:
As we begin the 2008-09 academic year, the LSU Athletic Department would like to take this opportunity to remind you that representatives of LSU's athletics interests, or "boosters," are prohibited from engaging in conversations with a prospect, or "recruit." Please be aware that NO written, telephonic or in-person communication is permitted between a recruit and a booster of an NCAA institution regardless of the medium. Please note that anyone who encourages a recruit to attend LSU is automatically considered a booster. Many believe that they are not a booster because they do not contribute financially to the University. However, NCAA rules specify that any individual who assists in the recruitment of prospects is considered a "booster."
Please be cognizant of these rules and refrain from engaging in chat room sessions, posting messages on a recruit's Web page or engaging in "Q & A sessions" with recruits on message boards. By avoiding these activities, you will be assisting LSU in maintaining compliance with NCAA rules.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter and for your continued support of LSU Athletics!
GEAUX TIGERS!

this is all welll and good but how would one know if the person is unidentified???? We wouldn't so that means we are guilty until proven innocent. When they cannot get the North and South ends correctly printed on the ticket backs it makes me wonder............

. . . . unless you buy his family a $757,500.00 home in California, then it's OK.
