Who is a Representative of Athletics Interests?
Anyone who has, at any time, done one or more of the following:
- Participated in or been a member of a sports booster club such as the Grizzly Scholarship Association, Quarterback Club, Roundball Club or Hoop Club.
- Made a financial donation to any of The University of Montana's men's or women's athletic programs or the Grizzly Scholarship Association.
- Assisted or have been requested (by athletics department staff) to assist in the recruitment of prospects.
- Assisted in providing any benefit (e.g. summer employment) to enrolled student-athletes or their families.
- Been involved in any way with the University's athletic program.
Please note three important points regarding this definition:
(1) It is very easy to meet one of these criterion, thus each institution has thousands of athletics representatives.
(2) Once an individual becomes a representative of the institutions athletics interest, he or she retains that identity indefinitely.
(3) Under NCAA rules, the institution is responsible for all actions of its athletic representatives.
