Letter from Jean Gee re: tailgate parties

[IdaGriz01]

I thought people at tailgate parties were pretty generous with just about anyone? I can understand the improper benefits issue... but in this case it seems a bit over anal.

Add "arrogant" and you've pretty well nailed the NCAA.

What's your point? Or did you forget? Better lay off the herb bro.

I believe the athletes have been informed of the above concern and have been given a specific number of meals they may accept..............something like 4 or so from any of the fore mentioned which doesn't include family. I find it interesting that in a lot of instantces folk are trying to be sure the athletes are staying healthy. The whole thing sounds a bit arbitrary to me. In this case the student athlete is the one who has to account for his "free" meals. While this is being enforced I thought(not positve) I read that the NCAA was trying to implement a rule to ok paying college football players $ above the scholarships.
Again no smoking guns with NCAA just some BBQ'd hamburgers. I really hope they give us the full report soon.

Some possible headlines to announce the "violations":

"Griz athletes punished for hotdogging".

"On a wing and a player"

"NCAA: Nacho Cheese Ain't Allowed".


What else you got?

NCAA Investigating Tailgate-gate, Not Tail-gate.

 

[Cats2506]

Brint,

I didn't save my letter after quickly reading it, but in fairness to the NCAA, doesn't this only apply to those tailgates that charge for food or drink? Charging the public and not charging athletes would be problematic.

However, providing free stuff to the public (including any athletes who happen to come along) doesn't seem to violate the letter that I received from Jean. Am I wrong on that, Brint (usually I am)?

Between our two tailgates, we probably provide half of the free food at a typical griz game. I think we are both OK as long as we don't charge anyone. Perhaps the NCAA would be happiest if we charged only athletes and let the publci in for free.

Not sure, are you a "corporate" tailgate like mine is? (in the grass area) We have our own crazy rules, we have make it abundantly clear that the parties are private and for friends/clients/invited guests only. So the "free food" argument is goofy because we are not there to serve the public, but just our invited guests.

That might make some sense, if some corporate tailgates are regularly inviting lots of athletes relatives without any other business connection to those people.

If one cruises through the corporate tailgates in the grass area they'll notice every spot has "private party / invitation only" signs up - it's required. The only non-public party is the GSA party in that area. Some abide by the rules more than others though, we're pretty strict b/c we've been warned in years past that we were operating too much like a "public" tailgate.

That's the one thing I wonder though - the business connection. So if someone in my office sells a volleyball player's parents a home. Can that agent invite the player or her family over to the tailgate? (in fact I emailed Jean Gee to find this out)

You would think that would be OK, due to the "business connection", but if someone was inviting athletes relatives regularly, and repetitively without any personal or business connection then I would see it being questioned.

this tailgate stuff is total BS. the NCAA sucks, but unfortunately we have "boosters" at UM who go a lot further than a free burger at a tailgate.

i won't go into details, or name names, but coaches need to make sure our athletes never give out their cellphone #'s to certain boosters and never do summer jobs for them. accept booze from them. and party at their homes. ESPECIALLY when under age.
"boosters" need to be held accountable just as much as athletes if not more. they should be banned from texting, calling and hanging out with players. our coaching staffs and administration need to keep these hanger ons at bay.

You should be banned from posting s*** on the forum.

Oh hey guys... I really shouldnt be saying this and I really should be saying this out loud but I'm going to tell you anyway so you just keep quiet.

I said I wasn't going to name names. NOT that "I really shouldn't be saying this". HUGE difference there. The NCAA creates a blurry line with its rules regarding improper benefits and this tailgating issue is complete bullshit.
What I am saying is that due to the fact that we are under a microscope currently, our coaches need to keep certain boosters away from our athletes. It's VERY well known within the UM community who these "hanger on'ers" are and they should have never been allowed to get as close as they have to players. Time to cleanse the program of these people regardless of their donations.
Not sure why you got so upset at me for making a point pertinent to the subject of the thread. Feel free to report me to the mods and try to get me banned, if you really, truly feel like what I posted was so inappropriate and damning to you, this board and the University. Good luck. :thumb:

Nah. I'm just busting your balls for your ironic post.

Back in the day when they were really cracking down or bars and restaurants charging for food and drink, the state came up with a rule that you had to submit a list to the athletic department of your invited guests. I gave a Missoula phone book to them as my guest list.

I believe it is still on file.
