NCAA Rules and Regulations
Who is a "Representative of Athletic Interests?"
A "representative of the institution's athletics interest" (i.e., athletic supporter/ booster) is anyone who engages in any of the following activities:

• participating as a member in any of the various Athletic Department booster groups or Alumni Groups.
• making a donation to Tuskegee Athletics or an institutional booster club.
• arranging for summer or vacation employment for student-athletes.
• purchasing season tickets in any sport.
• assisting in the recruitment of prospects.
• promoting Tuskegee Athletics in any manner.

According to NCAA rules, once an individual has been identified as an institutional "representative of athletics interests" the individual retains that title for life. Tuskegee University is ultimately responsible for the acts of all "representatives of athletics interests" in relation to NCAA rules and regulations.
