This is purely hypothetical, but if I were to take one of the women's basketball players out for supper on a date type thing, would it be an NCAA violation to pay for their meal? Keep in mind this is purely hypothetical.

Are you kidding, go get her! Truth, I dated a female athlete on scholarship when I was there and no, nobody was hounding me about paying for dinner.

Cyclone
Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted:
'Struck by a Cyclone
It Comes from Iowa and Devastates Evanston Town'

I believe the main concept of the rule is that student athletes shouldn't get things the general student population can't obtain.

Keep in mind this is purely hypothetical. You would have to be a booster or friend of the program, financially for that to be considered a infraction.

Isn't a season ticket holder considered a booste?

Student tickets do not require a contribution for seat placement. As long as the original poster is a fellow student then all is good.
Plus dinner and a movie does not surpass any benefit that a regular student could not get. However if IcSyU plans on taking her to Lake Tahoe via his daddy's Leer jet to have a meal catered by a 5 star chef who was flown in from Paris just for this one meal, then it may be a violation.

If it is a USC player, you may buy her anything you would like. | "We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last hundred years and we've done this as recently as the last year in Afghanistan and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in, and otherwise we have returned home to seek our own, you know, to seek our own lives in peace, to live our own lives in peace."

Per Cyclones.com: Who is a representative of athletics interests? A “representative of the institution’s athletics interests” (booster) is an individual who is known (or should have been known) as a Local or National Cyclone Club Member, anyone who donates money to the athletic department, anyone that has ever been a season ticket holder, fans, faculty and staff, former students, anyone assisting in the recruitment of a prospect, or anyone involved in promoting the athletics program. Once you have been identified as an institutional representative of athletics interests, you retain that identity FOREVER. ONCE A BOOSTER, ALWAYS A BOOSTER! Basically anyone that has ever purchased tickets to an athletic event could probably "technically" be considered a booster I think. I'm pretty sure if you ask an athlete about the whole paying for dinner thing they probably will know and if you are really concerned just email our compliance department and ask. | |

Back to the original question. The booster situation does not apply to dating.

That would be sweet to play that card with your girlfriend if she was an athlete, "Sorry honey, you know I'm not allowed to pay for dinner or the movie tonight. Make sure you bring your purse."
I would have saved probably thousands of dollars. |
