In arguing he did not violate a local ordinance, an Ocean Springs businessman admitted to an apparent NCAA violation.

Scott Walker told GulfLive.com that his house guests this weekend were absolutely not short-term renters because they were actually four college football players who "were absolutely not paying."

If true, that would be a violation of the NCAA's rules against impermissible benefits, which includes free or reduced rent, for boosters. A booster is defined by the NCAA as anyone who has purchased season tickets, made financial contributions to the athletic department or a university booster organization, participated in or was a member of an organization promoting the university's athletics, arranged for or provided employment for enrolled student-athletes, has assisted in the recruitment of potential student-athletes or provided benefits to enrolled student-athletes and their families, or been otherwise involved in promoting university athletics. Once that person has been identified as a booster, they retain that affiliation forever.
