IPTAY members are considered representatives of an institution’s athletics interests (i.e., booster) for Clemson University. The NCAA has strict guidelines concerning boosters and their interaction with prospective student-athletes (i.e., generally 9th – 12th graders or any other unofficial visitors, prep school students, and junior college student-athletes).
Boosters are strictly prohibited from engaging in any type of recruiting activity with potential prospects and their family/friends. Additionally, boosters may not perform any impermissible recruiting activities such as the following:
– calling/interacting with recruits
– providing gifts or any material benefits to recruits
– providing transportation or access to free or reduced-cost services to recruits
– offering an NIL opportunity as a means of trying to persuade a prospect to attend Clemson, which is also prohibited by South Carolina state law
However, a booster may attend high school, prep school, or 2-year college games in which recruits are participating as long as boosters do not engage in any type of conversation or communication with the recruits.
