Compliance Question Of The Week
Question 1:
Can a Coach give an interview to a recruiting service?
Answer 1:
YES - although this doesn't actually exist as a direct "permissive rule" within the manual. Used to be that bylaw 13.4.4.1.2. said "a coach may NOT give an interview to a recruiting publication, which in 2007 changed to say that now a coach CAN. Instead of leaving that in the manual, they took it out, "assuming" we would all know
13.4.4 Advertisements and Promotions.
Intent: To eliminate the restriction that precludes an institutional coaching staff member from providing an interview for an article that will appear in a recruiting publication or newsletter.
So, check out that bylaw (13.4.4 on P 101, and also 11.3.2.5 on page 52), and remember: you CAN give such an interview....but watch for the content and where it might be published (see 13.4.4.1). By the way, granting an interview is ALL a coach can do with a recruiting service: you can't work for one, endorse one, mention one, support one or even say hello to one if you see one in a bar.
Question 2:
Can going on a 12 month church mission' be used to satisfy the one-year transfer requirement for a 4 year college transfer?
Answer 2:
Well, who'd-a thought THIS new piece of legislation would crop up, but it has....#2008-37 on the New Legislation sheet which we will give you for the test refers to Church Missions no longer being an exception to the transfer residence requirement of having to stay a year at a school before becoming eligible - in those sports which don't have the one-time transfer exception already! Look at 14.5.5.2.5 and see that a year in the military STILL counts as satisfying the year, but the church thing doesn't. So, there it is.
