Division I Proposal - 2009-46
RECRUITING -- OFFICIAL VISIT -- NUMBER OF OFFICIAL VISITS -- INSTITUTIONAL LIMITATION -- DE MINIMIS VIOLATION
Status: Adopted Final
Intent: To specify that a violation of the institutional limitation on the number of official visits shall be considered an institutional violation, but shall not affect the prospective student-athlete's eligibility.
Bylaws: Amend 13.6.2.6, as follows:
13.6.2.6 Number of Official Visits -- Institutional Limitation. The total number of official visits a member institution may provide prospective student-athletes in the following sports on an annual basis (August 1 through July 31) shall be limited to:
[13.6.2.6-(a) through 13.6.2.6-(c) unchanged.]
[13.6.2.6.1 through 13.6.2.6.7 unchanged.]
13.6.2.6.8 Effect of Violation. A violation of Bylaw 13.6.2.6 shall be considered an institutional violation per Constitution 2.8.1; however, the prospective student-athlete's eligibility shall not be affected.

Effective Date:Immediate
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Recruiting
Rationale: This change removes any effect on a prospective student-athlete's eligibility when an institution exceeds the limitation on the number of official visits. Prospective student-athletes have no control over the number of prospective student-athletes who visit an institution. Any institutional accountability is better addressed within the enforcement process. Violations of the bylaw are institutional violations and the institution is required to submit a self-report.
Estimated Budget Impact: None.
Impact on Student-Athlete's Time (Academic and/or Athletics): None.
Position Statement(s):
| Recruiting and Athletics Personnel Issues Cabinet | The cabinet supports the proposal and agrees with the sponsor's rationale. Further, the cabinet agrees that the proposal should be considered as noncontroversial legislation. |
