Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Recruiting
Rationale: This proposal better aligns the decision-making timeline of a prospective student-athlete with the decision-making timeline for any prospective college student. A prospective college student typically begins visiting institutions during his or her junior year of high school. In addition, this proposal increases the importance of official visits in the recruiting process. Finally, September 1 of a prospective student-athlete's junior year is also the first permissible date for telephone calls and written and electronic correspondence.
Estimated Budget Impact: None.
Impact on Student-Athlete's Time (Academic and/or Athletics): None.
