A booster may provide a student-athlete or a team with an occasional meal (and transportation to attend the meal) at his/her home, on campus, or at a facility that is regularly used for home competition (but may not occur at a restaurant) on infrequent and special occasions. This meal is permitted to be catered. (NCAA Bylaw 16.5.1(f)(2))
