I think very few people would agree that a season ticket holder is a member of the Booster club or are boosters of the program. Even by the definitions you just posted above. It's not clear at all about that in fact.

The 95 bucks I spent on season tickets last year makes me a booster?

I spent 15 bucks to go to one of the basketball games this year....does that make me a booster. I went to several bball games this year for free via tickets from vendors at my brothers work.

Does Joe Blow who out of the blue one night is bored, has nothing to do,,,decides...heck...I want to go to the volleyball and spends his 5 bucks...is he a booster to?

Neither Talo or Brandon are members of the CougarClub,,,in fact it's been made clear to them in their meetings with BYU Admin and the AD that they are not to be in any, way, shape or form.

I'm not a CougarClub member (Cause I think the CC Sucks..but that's a topic for another day).....and don't consider myself a booster.

I could have any player I wanted over to my house for dinner,,,that doesn't make me a booster or a violater of recruiting rules.

My oldest brother is a Ute season ticket holder. He's not a member of the Crimson Club. One of his old long time buddies John Fakler runs many facets of the Crimson Club....Now HE's a booster. JohnHaddow is a booster for BYU...there is a stark difference.

By the way, thanks for the posting those rules. Kudos to you.
