Maintaining compliance with NCAA rules and regulations is an important part of Liberty Athletics’ mission to achieve victory with integrity. As a season ticket holder, you play a valuable role in this process. Please take a moment to learn a few key terms and some of the do’s and don’ts to help us to win the right way.
WHO IS A “BOOSTER”? • Donated to the Flames Club • Bought a season ticket in ANY sport • Provided benefits to Liberty student-athletes • Promoted Liberty’s athletics programs Once someone becomes a booster, they are always a booster!
WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENTATHLETE? A “prospect” is a student who has started the 9th grade. A younger student can become a prospect if they receive benefits from Liberty, and they stay a prospect until they start classes at Liberty or report for practice.
3 THINGS TO REMEMBER 1. Don’t Recruit! Leave recruiting to the coaches. This includes face-to-face interactions, phone calls, and social media. 2. Don’t Give Your Tickets to a Prospect! Coaches and the athletics staff are permitted to provide tickets to prospects — let them work through the Athletics Department. If you give your tickets away, make sure the recipients know the rules too. 3. No Extra Benefits! An extra benefit is anything not available to prospective students in general. This includes meals, lodging, travel to campus, gifts, and free or reduced services. Our Athletics Compliance Team is a resource for our student-athletes, coaches, staff, and you! Contact us any time you have a question, comment, or concern. We understand that every fan’s intent is to help our programs win with integrity, and we are here for your questions.
