Annual Cyclone Club Membership

Cyclone Club Each One, Bring One Referral Program

For 2026, the Cyclone Club is excited to launch our new referral program “Each One, Bring One.” The goal of the “Each One, Bring One” program, is to increase our annual giving membership in the Cyclone Club. Strengthening Cyclone Club membership is critical in dealing with the obstacles and challenges that we face in this new era of college athletics. From NIL opportunities and revenue sharing with student-athletes, to scholarships and academic support; Cyclone Club memberships are needed now more than ever! As current members, we believe your dedication and commitment can be contagious and we need your help with recruiting new members!

For every new member who is successfully referred to the Cyclone Club in 2026, the current club member will receive the corresponding priority points toward their Cyclone Club membership. There is no limit to the number of points that can be accrued.

• Referrals resulting in a Century, States, or Cardinal level membership will earn 5 points.
• Referrals resulting in a Gold or Captains level membership will earn 10 points.
• Referrals resulting in a Victory or Directors level membership will earn 25 points.

There will also be a Football and Basketball prize drawing contest for current and new Cyclone Club members who participate and join through this referrals program. Once the referral process is complete and new membership is established for 2026, the current and new members name will be added to a drawing for some amazing prizes.

NCAA Compliance

Iowa State is responsible for the actions of its boosters. If a booster violates an NCAA, Big 12, or ISU rule, the University may be subject to penalties. In addition, student-athletes or prospects may lose their eligibility for intercollegiate competition. Further, a booster found to have intentionally violated NCAA, Big 12, or ISU rules may be disassociated from Iowa State's Athletics program, resulting in a loss of all benefits and privileges offered by the Department of Athletics.

ARE YOU A BOOSTER?

If you are reading this, chances are, you are a booster!

A booster, or what the NCAA refers to as a “representative of the institution’s athletics interests,” is an individual, independent agency, corporate entity, or other organization that has:

• Been a Cyclone Club Member
• Donated money to the athletics department
• Been a season ticketholder
• Assisted in the recruitment of a prospect
• Been involved in promoting ISU Athletics
• Have assisted in providing benefits to student-athletes or their families

Once identified as a booster, you retain that identity.

ONCE A BOOSTER, ALWAYS A BOOSTER!

WHAT’S A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE?

A prospective student-athlete (prospect) is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade.

RECRUITING – LEAVE IT TO THE COACHES!

As a booster, you may not:

• Make in-person, on- or off-campus contacts with a recruit or their parents, coaches, or relatives for reasons unrelated to name, image, and likeness activities (e.g., offers, agreements)
• Initiate telephone calls or have electronic recruiting communications (e.g. email, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) with prospects or their relatives or friends for reasons unrelated to name, image, and likeness activities
• Assist with the actual evaluation of talent
• Purchase a ticket from a student-athlete

YOU MAY

• View a recruit’s game on your own initiative
• Continue to have contact with an established family friend or neighbor who is a prospect

EXTRA BENEFITS

Do not provide any benefit to a student-athlete that is not available to the general student-body, including (but not limited to):

• Cash/gifts
• Raise money for student-athletes (including former student-athletes) through crowdsourcing websites regardless of when money would be distributed
• Discounted services (meals, drinks, clothing, etc.)
• Entertainment
• Free or reduced cost of housing
