RollTideRandy said:The only concern for me here is that 2 of the violations occurred while we were still on probation and isn’t there a zero tolerance policy while you are on probation? :?: ;sh
Bamapossum said:The problem with reining in boosters is the very broad definition of booster as defined by the NCAA.
While many think that boosters are monied people with skyboxes and campus priveleges, any one who gives time or money to the university, OR is an alumnus can be considered a booster.
UA has literally tens of thousands of boosters as defined by the NCAA. You don't have to be Logan Young.

I was about to post the same thing. Members in the Touchdown Club (and other levels of course) of TidePride are considered boosters, and many probably don't even realize it. I'm sure folks who subscribe to CrimsonTradition could even be labeled boosters under the broad definition. It isn't just millionaires and the bigwigs in the Red Elephant Club that are given "booster" status.

I was pretty shocked the day I received a letter from the AD's office informing me that I was considered a booster. I think I'm considered a booster just for the fact that I attended Coach Fran Football Fantasy camp a few years ago.

Yeah, but do any of us know for sure? Not really since we're talking NCAA.
And does this little tidbit help or hurt us?
Alabama committed two secondary violations during the same time period last season under coach Mike Shula. (from http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/ncaa/07/06/bc.fbc.alabama.violations.ap/index.html )
