The scientific name for this Texas reptile is phrynosoma cornutum; in Greek, phrynos means a toad and soma means body ; in Latin, cornutus means horned. Their primary diet is red harvester ants; they d like 80 to 100 a day. The typical horned frog is three to five inches long. Horned frogs are cold-blooded animals and have an unusual pinea gland, resembling a third eye on the top of the head, which zoolgists believe is part of their system of the moregulation. When angered or frightened, horned frogs can squirt a fine, four foot stream of blood from their eyes. The horned frog was named the State Reptile of Texas in

4 TCU FLYIN FROGS A TRADITION OF CHAMPIONS TCU COMPLIANCE PROSPECTS Who is a Prospective Student-Athlete (Prospect)? You are a prospect if you have started classes for the ninth grade. Before the ninth grade, you may become a prospect if a university provides you (or your family or friends) any financial aid or other benefit that is not usually provided to prospective student-athletes. How do I know if I m being recruited? There are several ways to be recruited: (1) A coach may provide you with an official paid visit to view the campus, (2) a coach may arrange an in-person, off-campus meeting with you (or your family), or (3) a coach or staff member may call you (or your family) on more than one occasion for the purpose of recruitment. Only coaches and athletic department staff can be involved in the recruiting process. Athletic representatives are prohibited from contacting a prospective student-athlete or members of his/her family by telephone, letter or in person for the purpose of encouraging participation in athletics at TCU. Please contact the coaching staff if you know of a prospect that may have the interest and ability to participate in intercollegiate athletics at TCU. The coach can then take appropriate action. WHAT IS A CONTACT? A contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospect or the prospect s parent(s) or legal guardian and an institutional staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs in excess of an exchange of greeting. NOTE: At the Division I level, athletic representatives (boosters) may not contact you for the purpose of recruiting. What can TCU offer you to attend? You (or your family) may not receive any benefit, inducement, or arrangements (e.g. cash, clothing, cars, gifts, loans, etc ) to encourage you to sign a National Letter of Intent. TCU may offer you a one-year scholarship that covers room and board, tuition and fees, and required course-related books, or any part of these. TCU can recommend that this aid is renewed each year, as is the general practice at the institution, but this renewal is not guaranteed. BOOSTERS Who is a "booster"? A "booster" is known in NCAA terms as a "representative of the institution's athletics interests." You become a booster if: you have ever been a member of any organization promoting TCU Athletics, you have ever made any type of donation to the Frog Club, TCU Athletics or any other TCU booster organization, you have ever assisted in evaluating or recruiting prospective student-athletes, you have ever assisted in providing benefits to enrolled student-athletes or their families, you have promoted TCU Athletics in any other manner. NCAA Bylaw mandates that when you become a booster, you retain that identity for the rest of your life. As a representative of TCU's athletics interests, you are bound by NCAA rules. TCU is responsible for your actions. INSTITUTIONAL CONTROL "Institutional control" of Athletics is a fundamental requirement of NCAA rules. The NCAA constitution provides that each institution shall be responsible for ensuring that student-athletes, members of the institution's staff and other individuals or groups that represent the institution's athletics interests comply with all applicable NCAA regulations. Because of the complexity of NCAA rules, this document does not include all applicable situations and should not be relied upon exclusively.
