Compliance Question Of The Week
Compliance Question Of The Week
Question 1:
I hear there's going to be somewhere new for our student-athletes to do their studying and such? As in, a big shiny new Academic Center? Can I tell our recruits about this?
Answer 1:
Yes indeed, that is correct - by summer 2010, the old football suite in Memorial Stadium will be beautifully transformed into a place so inviting, that even the reluctant studiers (yes, I used a politically correct term, didn't I?) will want to be in there 24/7. And no worries - Maxwell has you covered, as he has volunteered to work those hours. So, tell your current SAs that life will be even more awesomer next fall, and tell your prospects that the only place close to the size of the massive new academic center will be the cavernous weight room. There is a "facts" document floating round about the new center, which can be "doctored" and sent to prospects as general correspondence (with a "to" and a "from"). Also, we hope that there will some architectural "mock-up" images on display soon, and some website info too - though probably not the "guided tour" like the brand new buildings. Either way, talk about it, write about it and tell everyone the size of the place alone is worth an extra .2 on the GPA.
Question 2:
It's unofficial visit time and I'm wondering what I need to know. So, what do I need to know?
Answer 2:
Only everything. Here's a start:
a. Fill out neccessary paperwork.
b. Let's get it out there once and for all: you may not cover ANY expenses surrounding an unofficial visit. No meals no snacks, no transport, no entertainment, no "sharing of otherwise available team food". If it isn't free to the entire population (including limeys) then it ain't free for unofficial visitors. No gear (not even loans); no "hostess favors" (thank you, Lane) and no tangibles.
c. You can, of course, give 3 complimentary admissions to an IU home contest - other than IU-UK basketball that is.
d. You cannot go off-campus with unofficial visitors unless that individual is a senior, and you are in a contact period. And it will count as one of your three (or whatever) contacts for that senior. Same for parents.
e. And unofficial visitors may not (under any circumstances) go off-campus with any current student-athlete, or any IU student - they are not permissible off-campus recruiters for unofficial visits. So anyone staying overnight stays in our dorms, not off-campus with an upper-classer. Obviously the prospect may stay in a hotel on or off campus on their own dime, but if it's off-campus, either they or their folks should be bringing them on and taking them off campus.
f. Know what is considered "on" and "off" campus
