Recruiting
Q: Is it permissible to contact a prospective student-athlete, the
prospect's parents or his legal guardian(s) off-campus for the purpose of
recruitment?
A: No. Representatives of athletic interests are prohibited from making
in-person, on- or off-campus recruiting contacts, or written or telephonic
communications with a prospect or the prospect's relatives or legal
guardian(s). For purposes of this rule, a facsimile (fax) or other electronically
transmitted correspondence is considered written correspondence.
Q: Are representatives of athletic interests prohibited from any contact
with prospects?
A: The NCAA Interpretations Committee has determined that this
regulation was not intended to relate to an unavoidable incidental contact
with a prospect by a representative of athletic interests, it being understood
that such a contact
a) is not prearranged by the representative of athletic interests or an athletic department staff member;
b)does not take place on the grounds of the prospect's educational
institution or at sites of organized practice or competition involving
the prospect or the prospect's team; c) is not for the purpose of recruitment of the prospect; and
d) involves only normal civility.
Q: What is the definition of an "in person" contact?
A: Any face-to-face encounter between a prospective student-athlete, the
prospect's parents or legal guardian(s) during which any dialogue occurs
in excess of an exchange of a greeting constitutes an "in person" contact. Additionally, any face-to-face encounter which is by prearrangement or
which takes place on the grounds of the prospect's educational institution
or at the site of organized competition and practice involving the prospect
or the team which the prospect represents, shall be considered a contact,
regardless of the conversation which occurs.
Q: Is the contact rule applicable to established family friends or neighbors?
A: No; however, it must be understood that such contacts are not made for
recruiting purposes and are not initiated by any Old Dominion University
coaching staff member.
Q: Who is considered a prospect?
A: A prospect is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade. In
addition, a student who has not started classes for ninth grade becomes
a prospect if the institution provides such an individual (or the individual's
relatives or friends) any financial assistance or other benefits that the
institution does not provide to prospective students generally. Junior
College, Prep School, and four-year transfers are considered prospects.
Q: Is Old Dominion University responsible for the acts of representatives
of athletic interests and booster support groups?
A: Yes. Athletic interests are governed by the same NCAA and University rules
and regulations as those placed upon all institutional athletic staff members.
Q: How long is a prospect considered a prospect?
A: A prospect remains a prospect even after signing a National Letter of
Intent to attend an institution, and both the institution and the prospect
continue to be governed by NCAA recruiting legislation until:
a) The prospect reports for regular squad practice;
b) The registrar or director of admissions certifies that the prospect is
officially registered and enrolled at the institution on the opening day
of classes, or
c) the prospect attends a class or classes in any regular term.
