GoZips Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Please, please be careful with unsigned recruits. It is okay to talk with them and their parents if theyapproach you. But, you can not call them. Especially if you are a booster. Booster being defined asa person who donates money to a university's athletic program.Booster Phone CallI am sure that I am not completely correct. Thus, I try to error on the side of caution. Quote
LosAngelesZipFan Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 That's a huge violation-- it basically implies that there are payments going to recruits and families (a call from the CEO who is a major booster to a low level worker is tantamount to a payment since it implies the parent will receive special favor at work for steering her son towards Memphis). It's a nightmare scenario really since it essentially empowers the NCAA to launch a fishing expedition into any and everything Memphis is doing. Quote
GoZips88 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Dave Bronczek, President and CEO of FedEx Express ... a nicer guy you will never meet (I work for FedEx here in Akron and have met and talked to Dave a couple of times). Should have known better I'm afraid. Entering dream (on) state ... FedEx is Fortune 500 in Memphis, Goodyear is Fortune 500 here in Akron ... I wonder what it would be like to have Akron playing in the Goodyear Forum and have the support of top Goodyear brass (leadership and financial contributions) behind the athletic program ... Quote

GoZips88 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 The bastard better not be calling Chaz Russell's mom too! I'll get right on this and check to see if she's a FedEx customer service rep! Quote
zip37 Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 Awwwwwwwwwwwww c'mon now, all that CEO was doing was making his daily contact with someone in the field. It's just happenstance that he is a 5 star bb player Quote
