■ WOLFPACK CLUB NEWS COMPLIANCE CORNER: BOOSTERS BY THE RULES Subscribing to The Wolfpacker magazine makes you a booster and supporter of our athletics programs! DO YOU COMMUNICATE VIA THE INTERNET? The internet has provided the oppor- tunity for Wolfpack supporters from all over the world to communicate with each other in ways not possible before. The following regulations re- garding the internet are very important for all Wolfpackers to know: Message Boards: Wolfpack donors, supporters and boosters participating on a message board are not permit- ted to write, call, instant message, text, chat with, or e-mail a prospect. (Remember, a prospect is any student who is in the 9th grade or above.) Further, as soon as someone on a mes- sage board e-mails or sends a message out to a prospect, they automatically become a booster under NCAA rules and are then subject to NCAA rules prohibiting such contact.

This includes, but is not limited to, posting on a wall, using the inbox/e- mail feature, instant messaging, "@ replies", "mentions", or direct mes- saging. As electronic communication tech- nology continues to advance, the op- portunity for the supporters of an ath- letics program to have impermissible contact with a prospect or a prospect's family is greatly increased; however, the institution's responsibility for the actions of its donors, supporters and boosters for that contact remains the same. We ask that all Wolfpackers, donors and supporters who have access to the type of Web sites described above as- sist us in following the guidelines that govern those sites. As always, your efforts to help NC State maintain a culture of compliance, and thus stay out of trouble, are greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
