Compliance Question Of The Week
Question:
What new legislation is the NCAA enacting?
Answer:
Continuing on from last week, where we reviewed (oh so briefly) the new legislation which has been passed with immediate (Jan 2010) effect along with the proposals which are "out for comment" through March 17, today we will review (with comparable brevity) the laws which have changed with August 1st, 2010 as their effective date.
Passed and in effect beginning August 1st, 2010 and not a moment before....
2009-14B - Personnel: Allows your undergraduate student managers to "participate in limited" practice activities (but not ARA) on a regular (rather than occasional) basis.
2009-18 - Personnel: Allows ANY staff member to make and receive calls to prospects / those accompanying during the official visit (including travel) on an unlimited basis.
2009-22 - Amateurism: Prospects who have competed alongside (WITH) professionals are not necessarily "vicariously professionalized" if they didn't take more than expenses.
2009-22 - Eligibility: Also, an SA who does not initially enroll within one year (six months for tennis) following their high school graduation date is charged with a season of competition for each year of "other" athletic participation and shall fulfill an academic year in residence (one year for each year of competition in tennis) upon matriculation at IU.
2009-26 - Recruiting: NLI signers (and equivalents, but not everyone: please know the difference!) can now - after Aug 1, 2010 - visit unofficially during a Dead Period.
2009-43 - Recruiting: After May 1, walk-ons who have deposited in ANY fashion and signed our Admission letter may receive unlimited electronic communication from anyone.
2009-63 - Eligibility: SAs can partake in one exempted sport activity designated as "Outside Competition" without burning a season of competition. (Please ask first!!)
2009-64 - Initial Eligibility: Nontraditional (online) courses: If using a nontraditional course to satisfy NCAA core-course requirements, the course must be one in which the instructor and the student have ongoing access to one another and regular interaction with one another for purposes of teaching, evaluating and providing assistance to the student throughout the duration of the course; the student's work (e.g., exams, papers, assignments) is available for review and validation; and a defined time period for completion of the course is included. (Talk to Anne before any of your prospects try to get eligible using nontraditional courses).
OK, now - just like last week - I have 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 lot 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 several sports. All proposals including their current status can be viewed in summary HERE.
