Compliance Question Of The Week
Question:
What new legislation is the NCAA enacting?
Answer:
Immediately in effect:
2009-09: Ethical Conduct - Influencing others to give misleading or false information is now officially an ethical conduct violation.
2009-15: Personnel - Noncoaching sport-specific staff members can now analyze video and sit in on coaching meetings / discussions - still can't coach though!
2009-23: Amateurism - Institutional president can appoint a staff member to help a future draft pick get a loan to pay for disability insurance if he/she qualifies for it.
2009-33: Recruiting - After May 1, walk-ons who have deposited and signed the Acceptance of Admission form may receive unlimited telephone calls.
2009-44: Recruiting - Videos not created for recruiting purposes placed on institution's main website (not recruiting section) can be shown to prospects anytime.
2009-51: Recruiting - Other than in Football (which is limited to in-state only) institutional camps may only be conducted within 100 miles of IU Bloomington.
2009-56: Recruiting - Subscribing (paying) for a recruiting service can only happen now if the service meets 7 stringent criteria and needs pre-approval before subscribing.
2009-72: Awards / Benefits - On occasional and special occasions, parents of current SAs may be given reasonable refreshments (not full meals) at on-campus events.
2009-76: Playing and Practice - No ARA may occur between midnight and 5 am unless you're finishing a game or at a late tournament / pre-approved promotional activity.
And the following proposals are still "out for comment" through Wednesday March 17. Expect a ruling mid-April Talk to Bruce if you have opinions / thoughts about these.
Out For Comment:
2009-12A: Personnel - Removes 5-year restriction on UNDERGRADUATE student-assistant coaches and limits their number to same as countable coaches for the sport.
2009-29: Recruiting - Sets fixed time limits on when we have to give transfer releases to SAs (within 7 days of written request) and appeals if denied (within 15 days).
2009-30B: Recruiting - All and any sport-specific noncoaching staff members would be precluded from watching any prospects play any sports unless they're related!
2009-32B: Recruiting - Sports with a defined and active recruiting calendar could make telephone calls at their discretion (i.e. unlimited) during their contact periods.
2009-40: Recruiting - Institutional Letterhead and envelopes will now be limited / restricted again and only ONE single sheet can be sent to a prospect/coach, etc. Rest is blank!
2009-41: Recruiting - Media Guides may only be posted on websites in electronic formats - no printed version ever to anyone.
2009- 42: Recruiting - Media Guides MAY be produced and printed but not ever provided to a prospect or their family / coaches, etc. For MEDIA only.
2009-41B: Recruiting - You could not provide a WRITTEN offer of scholarship / aid (in any form) until August 1st of the prospect's senior year.
2009-61: Eligibility - In individual sports and rowing, would allow former SAs to practice at any institution - not just their former school - in preparation for Olympics, etc
2009-62: Eligibility - In individual sports and rowing to allow for the Olympic Exception ex-SAs to train at their former school for a period of time covering the next two Olympics.
2009-74: Awards / Benefits - To allow a booster/rep to provide an occasional meal to SAs at an on-campus institutional facility usually used for such meals (not just at their homes).
2009-75B: Playing and Practice - SAs could not start doing any workouts until results of their Sickle Cell solubility test (SST) were returned and documented by the institution.
2009-79A-C: Soccer, Field Hockey and Volleyball could only travel by bus to spring competition - except for Hawaii or other places with no D1 opposition within 400 miles.
OK, now to clarify some of the above...although the NCAA has gone on record as saying it does not like Sport-Specific legislation, there's a TON of sport-specific stuff out there which I did not include for space and interest-issues. Basketball and Football have several things going on which have been communicated to them and can be again at any time upon request. The stuff above applies to either everyone or at least four sports. All proposals including their current status can be viewed in summary form HERE.
There are several NCAA websites you can go to, to get more information about these.
