Question: Is it permissible for a college coach, while recruiting at a game/tournament, to videotape the activity for later use?
Answer: Yes, the legislative services staff determined that an institution's coach may videotape a prospect's practice session or regular season contest during a contact or evaluation period, provided it is the prospect's normal practice session or regular season contest and the institution does not direct or arrange the prospect's activities. [S 10/12/94] The videotape should be used for evaluation purposes only - it should not be turned into a "highlight" video to show to the prospect at a later date.
