Some NCAA rules are stupid. When the gymnastics Nationals were in Fort Worth in 2015 and 2016 the finals were on A-day. The DFW alumni chapter, Tide in Texas had our A-day watch party in Fort Worth where the team was having dinner after the meet. We also worked with the medalist club and hosted 'happy hour' before the meet. We basically had over 1/2 the establishment reserved and the team had to have a private area within the reserved area. We wanted the team and coaches to sign a banner to raffle off for a Tide in Texas scholarship and the team had to take it back, sign it and return it vs signing it at the restaurant. There was a cool cake that was donated by the a Tide in Texas member with a team photo on it which was cleared but, any leftover could not be shared. So taking a left over cake and giving it to a bum on the street is an NCAA violation.
