    What happens if a disassociated booster gets caught continuing participating?

    I just can't see all of (or any of) OM's top boosters actually abiding by the disassociation coming. That might be the reason why they wanted to keep them anonymous. Mississippi is a small state and it will be too easy for these fat cats to get spotted somewhere they shouldn't be. So what happens when not if this happens?

    To be clear I'm not asking about them getting caught cheating again because that is obvious. I'm just talking about attending games and doing things that disassociated boosters are no longer supposed to be able to do.
    Death penalty or bust!!!***

    Absolutely nothing at OM. Hell, Brad Lott was disassociated and there are several photo's of he and Bjork at OM functions together. Doesn't seem to bother the rebels in the least bit. Things like that is why OM will never abide by the "disassociate booster" role. Now if they are caught by the NCAA still involved with a disassociated booster it may be different.

    The future of Mississippi appears to be Maroon. Those folks might as well learn to like it.

    I believe disassociated boosters can still attend games.

    They can't provide support - such as purchasing season tickets, booster club donations, university foundation donations, advertise at events, etc - or be invited to exclusive events. That's about it.

    I thought I remember seeing somewhere that they can't buy tickets at all. Now we all know that's very easy to get around, you just have someone buy them for you in their name. Now if they do that with donations the IRS might have a say in that.

    If booster A walks up to ticket window with cash on gameday, or buys a ticket from a scalper, there is no way to know. It's not like Charles Oakley walking in to MSG, they aren't banned from the building.

    Disassociated boosters are considered general public. They can't give money to the program and are robbed of their standard 1st amendment rights, assuming they agree to play along and fall on the sword.

    If they want to be an ass about it, they could sue the ever living hell out of the university and the NCAA, both of which have zero standing to tell an individual who they can or cannot talk with.

    I'm more than a little surprised that OM has agreed to make the boosters named in the NOA public. I may be in the dark on the background stuff, but what made them decide to go public with the names?

    They agreed through the MS Ethics Complaint filed by Rosebowl -- that was FILED in February, 2017.... There is a picture of the letter earlier this week... or late last week on this forum....

    Under the MS Public Records Act, on any redacted names or items, I believe that would only be if what was redacted did not pertain to the requested documents.

    Legally- they don't have a choice. That's the only reason why they are cooperating

    They didn't agree. They were forced by law and Rosebowl's diligence. Mississippi is a small state and everyone knows what everyone else is doing especially with the profile of individuals who will be on the list. Is it a level 1 or 2 violation of the booster or university disregards the disassociation?

    OM had no choice, or bargaining power as they were on record as being in violation of the MS Public Records Act.

    As long as OM wasn't challenged, they could call their own shots on their preferred method of responding to a public records' request. When they don't comply with the provisions under the MS Public Records Act and are challenged on it, then they are just like all other state agencies and are required to comply with the law.

    I may post something later on,about this whole thing, as OM was actually in violation after the 7 business days expired on the first NOA request.
