Interviews with Recruits = NCAA Violations

[rulzgal]

Fans, please remember that you are considered a booster by NCAA standards if you are an alum, season ticket holder, donor, among other things.  If any of our boosters contact our recruits, that recruit will be ineligible to come to Marquette.  Please do not ever contact any of our recruits or their parents.  This means do not contact them in person, by e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, conduct interviews, etc.  You need to leave the recruiting to the coaches we have hired.  You can certainly feel free to contact our staff if you have information about a recruit that you think we should have.  We appreciate your support and your enthusiasm, but we need to make sure that you aren't doing something that violates NCAA rules.  For more information on NCAA rules, please refer to our website at http://www.gomarquette.com/compliance/ncaa-rules-guide.html or contact me at danielle.josetti@marquette.edu.

Thanks and Go Marquette!

Way to go Brad Forester.  You ruined DJ's chances to come to MU.  Or is this some sinister plot by Buzz to deflect the blame away from himself and onto an innocent patsy? 

You make the call.

Thanks Danielle,

and Go Oregon, Ball State, Oregon State and MUHS!

Out of curiosity, how are we considered boosters?  Under the promoted MU athletics definition?

This is an interesting twist to this unending saga.

alum or season ticket holder counts, that probably covers most of us

[Skatastrophy]

How long is a kid considered a recruit instead of a player?   Until this incoming class starts summer school at MU?  When the fall semester starts?  Until practice starts?  Until they play in their first game? 

Edit: Nevermind... I just read the linked article:

A prospective student-athlete is a person who has started classes for the ninth grade, regardless of his/her athletic ability. A prospect is also any student who is enrolled at a two-year college or at a four-year institution other than Marquette University. A prospective studentathlete remains a prospect even after he/she has signed a National Letter of Intent or accepts an offer of financial aid to attend Marquette University, until he/she reports for the first day of classes for a regular term (fall or spring) or begins official practice immediately prior to the start of classes. Marquette University requests that you treat ALL students as prospects.

I had the same question.  After they sign an NLI or are actually admitted?

Catch of the day for Mr. Forster:

[mu_hilltopper]

New infomercial:

Did you make a recruiting error?  On a sweet tea sugar high and you accidentally signed a tall white stiff?  Find a better player, now need to bump someone?

Stop worrying! Your problems are over!

Just call 1-800-MUSCOOP and for $49.95 (plus order handling) we'll get you in contact with an alum, season ticket holder, or donor who can violate the contact rules for you, taking care of those pesky problem recruits!

Our crack staff will document the violation and for an additional $19.95, call the NCAA for you!

Ignore that guy.  Take this seriously, you guys.

Does this qualify as a "culmination of several things"?

[mu_hilltopper]

Dang.  Someone reported me to the moderator as an idiot.  Ahh, I'm just an anti-teal zealot living in a teal-loving world.

I must have missed the part about watching videos being a violation, i'll have to re-read it.

BTW a mod posted the link to the video.

Yeah, I'm thinking about banning you.  Then again, he did call MUScoop an asylum, so maybe I should ban him.  I'll ponder this for a bit and then probably ban everyone.

But if you ban hilltopper, that makes MORE work for you.  I say you recruit more mods, and lessen the load a bit.

Good, great I wasn't trying to tie the two was only pointing out that all of you clamoring for this video only encourage this sort of behavior, including mods.  No one on here is a coach for Marquette, get over it, let the coaches recruit and then enjoy the team Marquette fields.

[rocky_warrior]

You're correct, watching a video is not a violation.

For the record, I don't know if this involves DJ or Brad, there are exclusions for media i.e. - you are allowed to conduct an interview with recruits if you are part of the media.  For example, the Marquette Scout site can do recruit interviews because they are considered a "media" outlet.  MUScoop does not have that designation (partly because we haven't asked for it).  Brad likely falls into the "media" category, at least from his YouTube page:

I am a broadcasting major from Marquette University, specializing in sports anchoring, reporting and play by play. I also enjoy doing impersonations and voice over work. I write, produce and edit my own content.

But I'll let him and MU work anything out there if they think there's a problem.  It's outside of the MUScoop universe.

[rocky_warrior]

Hah.  Yeah, probably wise to keep that sarcastic jerk around.  I was not near a computer for the weekend and have only caught up to reading through July 2.  Well, except for this thread.  It's kinda fun living a couple days in the past.

Yeah, thanks for leaving me alone.  Picked a great week.  Felt like Dances with Wolves.

What outlet does Brad work for?

[Jay Bee]

MUScoop does not have that designation (partly because we haven't asked for it). 

  I've been curious about this... unrelated to MUScoop, but just message boards and websites in general...

  What is the other part(s) as to why MUScoop does not have that designation?  Is there a formal process to be deemed a member of the media by the NCAA or are there some set standards?
