Compliance Question Of The Week
Question 1:
A freshman in high school called and is going to take an unofficial visit to come meet with me and our staff. His or Her parents just called back and asked if I could send them information for the visit (itinerary, etc.). I know the prospect is too young to receive recruiting materials, is this information considered recruiting material?
Answer 1:
Yes, even though this material doesn't seem "recruiting" in nature (i.e., it isn't designed to attract prospects) it is created solely for the prospect visiting and is considered recruiting material.
Essentially, there's no recruiting at IU camps, or as we like to call it; Bylaw 13.
Question 2:
OK, so I can't send it to the prospect or his parents, but I can send it to the prospect's high school or club coach to pass along, right?
Answer 2:
Negative Ghostrider. You can't send a coach any recruiting materials that you could not send the prospect or his or her parents. The prospect's coach can't act as a conduit for you to pass along materials you normally couldn't provide the prospect.
So, in this situation, you likely won't be able to provide the prospect with any written itinerary or other "visit" items before his or her visit. However, the prospect or his or her parents can call you and you can talk through the itinerary and any visit plans that you have.
