Is the pursuit of Arik Armstead dead?

its not a college its a culture of things.

If I never heard this garbage line ever again... I swear to god.

And this discussion is particularly funny in light of the fact that it's technically a violation of NCAA regulations for any of us boosters to be interacting with the PSAs in any way, social media, or otherwise.

Yes. You are a booster.

No, not yet. That's our big concern though, just exactly how the NCAA determines who is and is not a booster. The reason its not is because any of us could go do the same thing for Cal or SC and under that same guise, the NCAA would rule them in violation too. That's why the NCAA leaves social media alone because they don't know how to enforce any of it.

Rather than argue on a message board the definition of "booster" go to a reliable source.

I will let those who know the particulars of ksmack debate the relevant sections.

From the above website:
Social networking websites such as Facebook and MySpace have emerged as a preferred channel of communication among high school and college students in the last five years. Duck boosters are asked to maintain a sense of propriety when using these social networks. Recently, an institution reported an NCAA violation after several boosters contacted potential recruits on their MySpace pages and inappropriately encouraged them to attend the institution. The NCAA precludes boosters from "making in-person, on or off-campus recruiting contacts, or written or telephonic communications with a prospect or the prospect's relatives or legal guardians." Online communication is considered communication under the rule. It is also important to note that a booster, as defined by the NCAA, is not necessarily someone who contributes financially to a university, but can be anyone who assists in the recruiting of prospects. This type of communication is likely well intended and motivated by pride in our institution; however, it is prohibited by the NCAA and is ultimately harmful to the University of Oregon's best interests.
