Title: Eligibility Effects of Recruiting Violation.

The recruitment of a student-athlete by a member institution or any representative of its athletics interests in violation of the

Association's legislation, as acknowledged by the institution or established through the Association's enforcement procedures, shal

result in the student-athlete becoming ineligible to represent that institution in intercollegiate athletics. The Committee on StudentAthlete Reinstatement may restore the eligibility of a student involved in such a violation only when circumstances clearly warrant

restoration. A student is responsible for his or her involvement in a violation of NCAA regulations during the student's recruitment, andinvolvement in a major violation (see Bylaw 19.02.2.2) may cause the student to become permanently ineligible for intercollegiate

athletics competition at that institution.

Title:

Recruiting -- Electronic Transmissions -- Social Networking Websites and Microblogs (I)

Item Ref: 2

Date Published: December 12, 2012

Educational Column:

NCAA Division I member institutions should note that it is permissible for an institution's website or an athletics department staff member's personal website (or

personal page on any site) to include information related to the institution's athletics program, subject to the restrictions applicable to an institution's athletics website

Accordingly, a coach may post general informational content not created for a recruiting purpose such as game scores, team updates, facility updates or generic update

regarding the coaching staff and/or team to the extent they do not mention a specific prospective student-athlete. These formats may include website posts, online

personal journals such as blogs and microblogs, which are a form of blogging resulting in a stream of short blog posts that are generally limited by a total number of

characters. Twitter and tumblr are examples of microblogs. Further, institutions, teams and coaching staff members may maintain sites on social networks such a

Facebook and Google+.

Publicity.

Institutions should note, that in accordance with NCAA Bylaw 13.10.2, before the signing of a prospective student-athlete to a National Letter of Intent (NLI) or an

institution's written offer of admission and/or financial aid, a member institution may comment publicly only to the extent of confirming its recruitment of the

prospective student-athlete. The institution may not comment generally about the prospective student-athlete's ability or the contribution that the prospective studentathlete might make to the institution's team. Further, the institution is precluded from commenting in any manner as to the likelihood that the prospective student-athlete

will sign with that institution.

Therefore, while it is permissible for an institutional staff member to publicly microblog (e.g., Twitter/tweets) or post on a social networking website, about generic

information, including locations visited (e.g., visit to a high school or town, attending a contest), institutions are reminded they are not permitted to publicize the

recruitment of a particular prospective student-athlete in a manner inconsistent with the legislation. For example, it is not permissible for an institution to post the name

nickname or other personally identifiable information (e.g., address) of a prospective student-athlete on a microblog or social networking website unless it is in response

to an inquiry by the media in order to confirm recruitment of a prospective student-athlete. Further, communication with or about a prospective student-athlete in the

public's view (e.g., Twitter "@replies" or "mentions," wall-to-wall Facebook communication) is contrary to the publicity legislation and is an impermissible form of

electronic communication with a prospective student-athlete.

In addition, institutions may not publicize (or arrange for the publicity of) a prospective student-athlete's visit to campus, even if the visit occurs after the signing of the

prospective student-athlete to a NLI or an institution's written offer of admission and/or financial aid. Further, institutions may photograph a prospective student-athlet

during a campus visit but may not use the photograph until the prospective student-athlete has signed a NLI or the institution's written offer of admission and/o

financial aid and may not use the prospective student-athlete's name or photograph in any promotional items that involve the purchase or receipt of commercial

advertising (e.g., season-ticket advertisement in newspapers or on a billboard). Therefore, it is not permissible for an institutional staff member to post a photograph of prospective student-athlete taken during an institutional camp, for example, to the staff member's microblog, personal website or institutional website or a social

networking website prior to the prospective student-athlete's signing of a NLI or the institution's written offer of admission and/or financial aid.

Further, while institutions should note that the identification of a prospective student-athlete as a "friend" on a staff member's profile page on a social networking site

confirms only the institution's potential recruitment of that individual, institutions are reminded that any public comments on the site prior to the signing of the

prospective student-athlete to a NLI or an institution's written offer of admission and/or financial aid about the prospective student-athlete's ability, the contribution tha

the prospective student-athlete might make to the institution's team or the likelihood of the prospective student-athlete's signing with that institution would run contrary

to the publicity legislation. Additionally, the initiation of or acceptance of "friend" requests may not occur until such time that it is permissible to send electronically

transmitted correspondence to a prospective-student athlete.

Electronically Transmitted Correspondence.

Institutions should note that pursuant to Bylaw 13.4.1.2, an institution may send electronically transmitted correspondence to a prospective student-athlete in sports

other than men's basketball and men's ice hockey beginning September 1 at the beginning of the prospective student-athlete's junior year in high school. In men's

basketball and men's ice hockey, an institution may send electronically transmitted correspondence to a prospective student-athlete beginning June 15 at the conclusion

of a prospective student-athlete's sophomore year in high school. In men's basketball, if the prospective student-athlete attends an educational institution that uses anontraditional calendar, for example a Southern Hemisphere educational institution, then the electronically transmitted correspondence may be sent as of the day after

the conclusion of the prospective student-athlete's sophomore year in high school.

Further, in sports other than men's basketball, electronically transmitted correspondence that may be sent to a prospective student-athlete is limited to electronic mail

(email) and facsimiles until either after the calendar day on which a prospective student-athlete signs a NLI or the institution's written offer of admission and/or financia

aid or the institution has received a financial deposit in response to the institution's offer of admission. All other forms of electronically transmitted correspondence (e.g

Instant Messenger, text messaging) are prohibited.

Institutions should note that email communication is not limited to traditional email services provided by an institution, website or Internet service provider. Permissibl

email communication extends to communication through electronic services and applications comparable to traditional email in which a message is sent directly to

another individual. Accordingly, it is permissible for an athletics department staff member to send electronically transmitted correspondence to a prospective student

athlete using a service that permits a private message to be sent between only the sender and recipient in a manner comparable to traditional email (e.g., Twitter "direc

message," Google+ messenger, Facebook email feature). However, as previously noted, all other electronically transmitted correspondence through other services or

applications remain impermissible, including those that may be directed to a specific individual but are accessible to other users of the service or application (e.g.,

Twitter "@replies" or "mentions," Facebook wall-to-wall feature).

Additionally, institutional staff members may not use a service or software to convert email into a text message (or other prohibited form of electronically transmitted

correspondence) when received by a prospective student-athlete. Therefore, to the extent an athletics department staff member is aware that a prospective student-athlet

is receiving a permissible form of electronic communication in an impermissible format (e.g., receiving email as text messages), such electronic transmission i

prohibited. However, if a coach is unaware of how a prospective student-athlete has elected to receive a particular form of communication, the coach is not responsible

for sending an impermissible form of electronic correspondence. For example, if a coach is aware that a prospective student-athlete has elected to receive Twitter direc

messages as text messages and the coach continues to engage in a direct message conversation as a means to circumvent the restrictions on text messages, the coach ha

committed a violation. However, if the coach is not aware that the prospective student-athlete has chosen to receive these direct messages as text messages, the coach

has not acted contrary to the legislation.

In men's basketball, any type of electronic correspondence (e.g., text messages, Instant Messenger) may be sent to a prospective-student athlete provided the

correspondence is sent directly to the prospective student-athlete (or his or her parents or legal guardians) and is private between only the sender and recipient.

Institutions should note that these requirements are linked to the legislation regarding comments before signing and, therefore, are not applicable to electronic

correspondence sent once a prospective student-athlete signs a NLI or an institution's written offer of admission and/or financial aid or once the institution receives a

financial deposit from the prospective student-athlete in response to the institution's offer of admission.
