Acting for the Division I Management Council, the Division I Legislative Review/Interpretations Committee issued the following interpretations:
Recruiting — Evaluations
1. Evaluations of Individuals Before Ninth Grade. The committee recommends that the NCAA Division I Management Council modify a previous Council-approved official interpretation (Reference: 7/18/2001, Item No. 2) to specify that evaluation activities related to individuals who are not yet prospective student-athletes may only occur during contact or evaluation periods when it is permissible to evaluate prospective student-athletes. [References: NCAA Bylaws 13.02.11 (prospective student-athlete), 13.02.4 (recruiting periods) and 13.1.8 (limitations on number of evaluations-all sports).]
Recruiting — Practice Activities Before Enrollment
2. Practice Activities with a Prospective Student-Athlete Before Enrollment and Outside of the Playing Season. The committee confirmed that it is not permissible for an institution’s coaching staff members to engage in any practice activities (for example, review of playbook, chalk talk, film review) with a prospective student-athlete before his or her initial enrollment at the certifying institution and outside of the institution’s playing season. [References: NCAA Bylaws 14.1.8.1 (requirement for practice), 14.1.8.1.1 (practice before initial enrollment), 17.02.1 (countable athletically related activities) and 17.1.1 (playing season).]
