Compliance Question Of The Week
Question:
Explain Summer Evaluations and everything that goes along with them?
Answer:
Let's bullet this question:
1. Evals in summer do not have to count toward your limits of 3, 5, 7 whatever. That number is only for the academic year of the prospect (ANY age prospect - even 8 year olds). Usually about mid-August to the end of May/early-mid June.
2. Contacts always count. Most sports get no more than 3. Some can contact seniors after July 1 (home visits and such). Others have to wait till September or even late November. KNOW YOUR SPORT RULES!!
3. Compliance always needs to know about all contacts. Recruit updates can usually come after your evaluation activity.
4. Home visits are contacts, pure and simple. Official and Unofficial visits here to IU are not. Unless you go OFF campus with an unofficial visitor. Then it counts as a contact.
13.1.7.2 Practice or Competition Site.
Recruiting contact may not be made with a prospect prior to any athletics competition in which the prospect is a participant during the day or days of competition, even if the prospect is on an official or unofficial visit. Contact includes the passing of notes to a prospect by a third party on behalf of an institutional staff member. Such contact shall be governed by the following:
(a) Contact shall not be made with the prospect at any site prior to the contest on the day or days of competition;
(b) Contact shall not be made with the prospect from the time the prospect reports on call (at the direction of their coach or comparable authority) and becomes involved in competition-related activity (e.g., traveling to an away-from-home game) to the end of the competition even if such competition-related activities are initiated prior to the day or days of competition; (traveling privately with parents is OK until they are "on-call" from their coach).
(c) Contact shall not be made after the competition until the prospect is released by the appropriate institutional authority and departs the dressing and meeting facility
(d) Contact shall not be made with the prospect involved in competition that requires more than one day of participation (e.g., a basketball tournament) until after the prospect's final contest is completed for the event and he or she is released by the appropriate institutional authority and leaves the dressing and meeting facility; and
(e) Coaching staff members may not send electronic correspondence (ANY TYPE!) to a prospect while he or she is on call for competition at the site of the competition (e.g., arena, stadium). Coaching staff members (in sports other than basketball) may send general correspondence (including electronic correspondence) to a prospect while the prospect is on call and not at the site of competition or while the prospect is at any location once he or she has been released by the appropriate authority, provided the general correspondence is sent directly to a prospect (e.g., their e-mail account, the front desk of the hotel, personal fax machine, etc.) and there is no additional party (e.g., camp employee, coach) involved in disseminating the correspondence (see Bylaw 13.4.1 for Permissible Mailings).
There are additional restrictions.
