Who may recruit?
Only coaches and Athletic Department staff may be involved in the recruiting process. The NCAA rules specifically prohibit boosters from engaging in recruiting activities. You may not have any contact (i.e., in-person encounter, telephone call, correspondence) with a prospect or the prospect’s family, on or off campus. If a prospect approaches you regarding IU, please explain that NCAA rules prevent you from discussing IU with prospects. This prohibition also applies to prospects making official visits to IU. You may not contact a prospect’s coach, principal or counselor for the purpose of evaluating a prospect’s athletic ability or academic record. You may not talk to a student-athlete at another institution for the purpose of encouraging him or her to transfer to IU.
