Effective Date:August 1, 2017
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Recruiting
Rationale: Currently there is no restriction on when unofficial visits with athletics department involvement may begin to occur. This proposal simplifies the legislation by making the start date for unofficial visits consistent with the start date that is already in place for telephone calls and recruiting materials and electronic correspondence. This proposal will help address the issue of early recruiting in women's gymnastics.
Estimated Budget Impact: None.
Impact on Student-Athlete's Time (Academic and/or Athletics): None.
