Compliance Question Of The Week
Question:
Are there any circumstances in which the (NCAA) rules would permit a son or daughter of an athletics staff member (including coaches) to attend a meal on- or off-campus during a prospect's official or unofficial visit?
Answer:
Depends, the NCAA rules do not list children of coaches as permissible recruiters. Coaches' children would, however, be allowed to participate in a luncheon, dinner or brunch at their own home which is held for a prospect on an official visit per Bylaw 13.7.5.7.1. Here at Indiana, with guidance from the Big Ten Conference office, we have also decided to allow infants and young children to attend a meal (of course, it is the coach's/parent's discretion to determine the appropriateness of having their child/children attend a meal with a prospect and his/her parents). Under no circumstances should a coach's child who is in high school attend an on- or off-campus meal (except at their own home) with a prospect, unless the child is also on his or her one expense-paid (official) visit to Indiana University during his or her senior year in high school.
