In response to Jim Love:
As a member of U-Mich Dekers Blue Line Club, we are made aware of what we
can and can't do (the second list being much longer). I'm a recent
graduate of UM, I'm in my 20s, and there are a few people on the team
that I consider to be my friends away from the hockey rink. I do get
together with them during the season and during the summer, but I CANNOT
give them a ride - not even from the rink to their apartment. We get
together for lunch occasionally, but I CANNOT pick up the tab although
they can! After lunch, I CANNOT drop them off at home or at class even
if I'm going that way. Basically, I cannot do anything that is not offered
to every student. The rules would be somewhat relaxed if I was still a
student, but because I'm no longer a student I'm viewed as an "unlawful
alumni booster". In other words, my best friend may play on the team, but
he can't be my best friend because the NC$$ says so.
I'm dealing with the above, although it's difficult. I see both sides of
the issue, but I don't see a solution that everyone is comfortable with.
Another thing that grinds me is that I CANNOT even give the players a
copy of the Deker Newsletter. I may interview a player for the newsletter
and write about it, but I cannot give him a copy to read. Something seems
a little bit off there.
I hope this helps.
