Compliance Question Of The Week
Question:
I know how many contacts and evaluations I'm allowed in a year (FB- 6 off-campus contacts or evaluations, MBB- 7 contacts/evals (senior year- 3 off-campus contacts max), WBB- 5 contacts/evals (senior year- 3 off-campus contacts max), All Other Sports- 7 contacts/evals (senior year- off-campus contacts max) but what counts as a year for these purposes?
Answer:
Only evaluations that occur during the `academic' year count against your limit. Therefore, evaluations in the summer will not count towards your applicable limit.&nbs; Contacts count against your yearly limit whether they occur during the academic year or during summer. The inevitable next question in regards to evaluations (and the main point of this QOTW) is "when does the `academic' year begin and end?" The NCAA Interpretation pasted below defines "academic" year for these purposes as the prospect's academic year. Therefore, your evaluation limits apply from the date in which that particular prospect started classes through the date that his or her classes ended for the year. If you have a prospect who is in year-round school or something approximating that and you're close to your allowable limit of contacts/evaluations then please contact us to help you work through it.
