In College football you almost HAVE to have the boosters like you. The boosters are "supporters" of the programs; usually corporate people with tons of money who like to be around the athletes and be big wigs.
They wield a huge amount of power because they give millions to schools and because the schools dont' want to lose the money, they kiss their butts and usually hire someone that is popular with the boosters.
In some instances the boosters give perks and money to the new coach if they like him. How do you get liked? You win.

Booster Gold is a key character Justice League revamp by writers Keith Giffen and J. M. DeMatteis. Booster Gold is frequently partnered with fellow Justice League member Blue Beetle, and the two quickly become best friends. The duo's notable appearances include a stint as superhero repo men, and as the minds behind the construction of a gaming resort, Club JLI, on the living island Kooey Kooey Kooey. After one too many embarrassments and longing for his old reputation, Booster quits the League to found The Conglomerate, a superhero team whose funding is derived from corporate sponsors. Booster and his team are determined to behave as legitimate heroes, but find that their sponsors compromise them far too often. The Conglomerate reforms several times after Booster rejoins the League, though without much success.

Usually alumni and people in the community who help the program out, financially usually, but they also help in other ways.
