How does the Bulldog Club enforce the "one generation pass" rule?

The reason I am asking in this. My grandfather played football in the thirties and has been a Club member since it started. When he died, the membership was passed to my dad. Will myself and my adult kids be able to cheat the system 30 or 40 years down the road? Has anyone already had this issue?

my grandfather was one of the original bulldog club members (back when they printed the names of the bulldog club members in the program once a year). He passed it on to my Dad (there's one pass) and this year the points passed to me (there's the second pass). I'm wondering the same thing....when I pass the points to my son in 30 years will that actually be in a system somewhere? I just don't think it will. Could be wrong though.

an original member of the Bulldog Club do you still maintain the right to pass it twice? It would seem to me that it would be something they originally bought into so it should be grandfathered in. This is seriously good news if true. Please respond.

when it was passed to my Dad (maybe 20 years ago). I don't think there was an official policy, but I'm guessing on that one?? Now they told me this year when it was passed about the policy, but again I just wondered is that something they keep a record on? I wanted to tell them it's already been passed once but of course I just kept my mouth shut. If I try to pass it to my son in 2035 will they actually say, "No, back in 2009 it was passed to you and that accounts for your pass." I just don't know.

If so, my son is out out luck. I would just have to keep everything under my name until the day I die...literally. I've thought about putting him in the jr. BC just to get some points for him over the years (he's 3) just in case he has to start over.

They have a record when it was passed to my dad even though the account still is under my grandfather's name. Maybe they didn't have that 20 years ago? But...my question was...how are they going to know if someone dies or not? My dad could die and I could die but my son could still be alive. Who will check to see if my dad is a living 110 year old or a dead one? </p>

if your family at any point in time gave money (and continued to give) to the BC starting in the late 70's then your family should have sideline passes forever. With all the crap we've seen over the years we deserve it.

any rule that permits any club membership to be passed from one generation to the next.

I can tell you for sure that basketball seating does not, nor has ever supposed to have been permitted to be passed from one generation to the next. That might not be the same for bulldog club memberships. But, I am unaware of anything that permits it to be passed.

Whether that should be the case or not, I offer no opinion. (mark that down.)

is to match the check they get with the membership. That doesn't eliminate the issue, but it would eliminate some of it. Checks cut from businesses and the like would get by that check.

But, that is precisely the reason they reseated basketball. Those lifetime seats? They were held more by children and grandchildren than they were actual original purchasers. And lifetime didn't mean until the family line ceased.

After all, by the time the old man croaks, the young son probably isn't so young any more and has probably been using those season tickets for years. But points from donations to the Bulldog Club shouldn't be passed down. Let the young son give to the Bulldog Club on his own to build up points so when the old man croaks, he'll get decent seats on his own merit.

To be "active", does the person's name that is on the account have to be living? I would say no.
