I think it's okay if their parents/family went there, if they're locals or if they have some other reasonable connection to the school, even if they didn't attend as students themselves.
I also think that an argument can be made that when a university is a public institution and is supported by tax dollars, then anyone who pays those taxes can claim some degree of "stake" in the school and is entitled to root it.
