Bought Curtis Beach dinner tonight

I only date the hottest collegiate female runners. It's perfect because when we go out I tell them I wish I could pay for the date and buy them presents but I don't want to break NCAA rules and have them lose their scholarships. They see me as a hero and sensitive man and they're all over me by the end of the night.

So when I take a college athlete on a date she has to pay the bill? This would seem to lower the chances for getting laid.

the OP is neither a duke alum nor a booster nor connected to either. By buying the dinner, no competitive advantage was gained for Duke or an opposing school by either lining the athelete's pockets or trying to lure him away.

Just out of curiosity-- why isn't he a booster? Why weren't pockets lined?

I guess you could say that the OP's generosity had nothing to do with Duke, but it seems pretty tied to performance for athletic endeavors.

you are completely missing the point. the whole point of the booster rules is to prevent schools (via boosters) from throwing money at current and future athletes in order try and sway them to either come or transfer to their respective schools. the fact that the OP has no ties to duke immediately removes him from being a booster of duke (it could get a little more murky if he has ties to, say u of oregon and made some overtures about transferring).

It is a violation. Just the same as Tiger got suspended when Arnold Palmer bought him lunch.

He'll probably get the same type of suspension.

You can't be serious, attempting to make a capitol NCAA case out of a random act of generosity. You trolls suck.

Don't worry, if a troll 'reports' this to the NCAA they will be laughed at. And if they make a big stink about it they will have to assign their name to the report. So that would mean the trolls are NOT anonymous. Since this is something they fear above all else, they will not report this hallucinated violation because they will be outed.Tim sounds like he is more than alright to me. The lonely and bitter trolls would be impossible people to deal with in real life. No one wants to hang out with people like them at all.
