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. John H
