NCAA Don'ts and
Do's for Athletic Representatives
Don't:
Make any contact with a prospect or the prospect’s
family on or off campus. If a Barry coach has a prospect at
an athletic event, you should not approach the coach until
after the prospect and family have gone elsewhere. If you
are approached by a prospect off campus regarding the institution’s
athletics program, suggest that the prospect contact the institution
for information.
Become directly or indirectly involved in making arrangements
for a prospect, the prospect’s relatives or friends
to receive money or financial aid of any kind.
Transport, pay or arrange for payment of transportation
costs for a prospect or the prospect’s relatives or
friends to visit the campus.
Provide room and/or board, transportation of any kind
or any other benefit to a prospect during the summer prior
to enrollment.
Provide ANYTHING to or for a prospect, or the prospect’s
relatives or friends without first checking with the institution’s
athletic department.
Provide tickets, transportation or entertain high school,
prep school or community college COACHES at ANY location.
Contact any enrolled student-athlete at another institution
for the purpose of encouraging them to transfer and participate
in another institution’s athletic program.
Contact the prospect’s coach, principal, or counselor
for the purpose of evaluating the prospect. You are not permitted
to pick up films or transcripts from the prospect’s
educational institution.
Do:
Feel free to attend high school and community college
athletic events. You simply cannot have any contact with the
prospect or their relatives.
Continue longtime established family relationships with
friends and neighbors. Contacts with sons and daughters of
these families are permitted as long as they are not made
for recruiting purposes and are not initiated by a Barry coaching
staff member.
Feel free to attend a public event (e.g., a high school
award banquet or dinner) at which prospects are in attendance.
However, no attempt should be made to recruit prospects at
those events.
Send the Barry coaching staff any newspaper clippings
or other information about prospects that you think would
be of interest and let the coaching staff make the appropriate
contact with the prospect.
