Rules for fans and boosters regarding student athletes and prospects

[admin]

For fans

Top 5 Things Every Stanford Fan Should Know

1. You may not have recruiting conversations with prospect or their families. A prospect is any student who has begun classes for the 9th grade (7th grade for men's basketball). This includes in-person contact on or off Stanford's campus, by telephone or in writing (e.g., email, Twitter, Facebook, etc.)
   
2. 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 Stanford students. Examples include: transportation, cash, gifts, meals, clothing, use of unadvertised discounts, etc.
   
3. You may not use a student-athlete's name, picture or appearance in a commercial advertisement, business promotion or product endorsement.
   
4. You may not purchase game tickets, apparel, equipment or awards from current student-athletes.
   
5. 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.
   

(Obviously, No 3 and 5 are likely to change in the next few years, but this remains true for 2019-2020)

Are You A Booster?
Stanford University is proud to have your loyal support, dedication, and enthusiasm for Stanford Athletics. As we strive for continued excellence, we must always seek the highest standard of ethical conduct. With your assistance and cooperation, we are confident we can continue to meet this goal.
Many times individuals are unsure if they are considered “Boosters” or not. Below we have designed a quiz to help you determine if you are a booster. There are numerous ways to become a booster and it would be impossible to list all of them here. Therefore, if you have any questions, please ASK BEFORE YOU ACT!
1. Are you a member of the Buck/Cardinal Club?
2. Have you given money or a donation to an individual Stanford sport or any portion of the Stanford Athletics Department at any time in the past?
3. Are you a corporate sponsor of the Athletic Department?
4. Have you volunteered your time to the Athletic Department or any individual sport?
5. Are you a member of any Stanford booster organization (12th Man, 6th Man Club, Fast Break Club, etc)?
If you answered "YES" to any of these questions, you are a representative of athletics interest, also known as a “Booster.”
