NCAA Board Of Directors Approves A Series Of Proposals Designed To Limit Ability Of Basketball Programs To Gain Recruiting Advantages Chicago Hoops October 30, 2009 Email Questions/Comments To brian@chicagohoops.com The NCAA Division I Board of Directors approved a series of proposals that are designed to limit the ability of basketball programs to gain advantages and influence in the recruiting process by hiring individuals close to a recruit, or by indirectly providing financial gain. The new rules prohibit a series of practices including: Employment relating to noncoaching staff positions Employment at camps and clinics Payment of consulting fees Subscriptions to recruiting services with limited value Donations to nonprofits 1-900 numbers for telephone contact with a recruit The new rules mean that basketball programs can now no longer hire individuals with ties to a recruit to work at Elite Camps and Clinics during the summer. They also can no longer hire individuals with ties to a recruit to noncoaching staff positions. Another change being introduced into the 2009-10 legislative cycle targets nonscholastic events on campus by prohibiting Division I institutions from hosting, sponsoring or conducting nonscholastic men’s basketball events on campus or in facilities regularly used by the institution. |
