Compliance Question Of The Week
Question 1:
Can a prospect attending IU orientation during the summer prior to his/her initial full time enrollment practice with an IU team or with a coach's local sports club while they are visiting IU?
Answer:
No! This activity would constitute an impermissible tryout per NCAA Bylaw 13.12.1. In order to participate in a local sports club, the prospect must have a legal residence within a 50-mile radius of the institution. Additionally, prospects may not engage in any countable or noncountable athletically related activities (safety exception, summer workouts in individual sports) with the institution's coach. Question 2:
Can an incoming transfer student work at an institutional sports camp/clinic?
Answer:
No! Transfer students are considered prospects. You may not employ a high school, prep school, or junior college athletics award winner, and a prospect who is an athletics award winner or being recruited by IU may not serve as a volunteer worker for an institutional camp/clinic even if the prospect is willing to pay the cost of attending the camp/clinic in order to volunteer. If prospects are attending your camp, they must be bona-fide participants!
