Rules for a "verbaled" athlete

Athletic Recruits
1

<p>Hello everyone - new here, so if this is the wrong place let me know. </p>

<p>I looked all over for an answer to the following question, but came up empty (but CollegeConfidential.com came up). I tried NCAA.org - and nothing.</p>

<p>Here’s the question: I am part of a website that “covers” a college team. We have a verbaled recruit lined up to do a live chat with fans. Is there any violation against that for the athlete? We don’t want to get him in any trouble.</p>

<p>Thanks for any help or pointing me in the right direction.</p>

<p>“fans”…must be a top football recruit. i wouldn’t do anything without my recruiting coaches permission.</p>

<p>You can either phone the NCAA or go to the school’s compliance office.</p>

4

<p>Every D-1 college/uni will have a compliance office within the athletic department, and that is the place you should start.</p>

<p>You can contact a recruit who has verballed. However, the coach can’t comment about the kid until he or she has signed the LOI…</p>
