Compliance Question Of The Week
Question:
How may we distribute our 2010 camp guides and brochures?
Answer:
Camp information may be distributed to high school coaches, parents and prospects of any age, as long as the materials have been pre-approved by the compliance office. There is great flexibility in how you disseminate camp information - by mail, by e-mail, on camp websites, on institutional websites or other publications. Here on campus, you may display and provide brochures in your offices or facilities, provided they are always available and not only placed there when an event for prospects is being hosted by IU.
The NCAA has advised against distributing camp brochures at the site of a prospect's competition, although the interpretation below provides some latitude with that.
As mentioned several hundred times before, no brochure or camp information may be sent/distributed/put out into the universe without the language, "Open to Any and All Participants" included on the document (includes fliers, websites, postcards, etc.)
Distribution of Recruiting Materials to a Prospect at the Prospect's Practice or Competition Site
Date Published: September 26, 1996
Interpretation:
Distribution of Recruiting Materials to a Prospect at the Prospect's Practice or Competition Site: An institutional staff member may provide items other than general correspondence (e.g., media guides, recruiting brochures, questionnaires) to a third party with the intent that such items be delivered by the third party to the prospect at the prospect's practice or competition site. However, it is not permissible for the staff member to include a note with such item or to write a note on the item. The committee noted that inasmuch as the provisions of 13.4.1-(a) are specific to general correspondence, there is no authority to preclude institutional staff members from distributing other recruiting materials listed in 13.4.1 to a third party with the intent that such items be delivered to a prospect at the prospect's practice or competition site. [References: 13.1.8.2 (practice or competition site) and 13.4.1-(a) (Division I and II -- printed recruiting materials)] (that means you can give a camp brochure to a coach to pass on to his/her player).
