NCAA Rule Changes Just Keep on Coming!

Over the past year or so, we’ve obviously seen many changes to the NCAA rules, mostly at the Division I level.

  • Changes to the Transfer Portal Windows in D1
  • The opportunity for athletes to be immediately eligible after a transfer, even if they have previously transferred from one four-year university to another (as long as they satisfy academic requirements to be eligible at the new university).
  • The elimination of contact, evaluation and quiet periods from the Division II recruiting calendars, as we mentioned in our last newsletter.
  • Proposed settlements in the “House vs. NCAA” lawsuit which potentially are leading to more scholarships being available to Division I athletes, even though roster limits may reduce the number of roster spots available in various NCAA sports.

AND NOW

It was recently reported by credible sources that Division I leadership is considering even further changes to the NCAA rules. Such changes being considered include:

  • Applying football’s “four-game rule” to all sports.
  • Allowing student-athletes in all sports to earn prize money before enrolling in college.
  • Eliminating the National Letter of Intent (but possibly being replaced by institutional scholarship signing agreements that would likely be very similar to the NLI).
  • Allowing student-athletes and recruits in all sports to maintain their collegiate eligibility while engaging with agents to consider and explore pro sports opportunities.

Do you have questions about how these rule changes could affect your athlete?

NCAA Division II Recruiting Will Enter a Quiet Period Starting June 1st

In a recent post, I shared that NCAA Division I has extended their recruiting Dead Period for all sports through June 30.

In contrast, NCAA Division II has announced that they will enter a Quiet Period starting June 1 and continuing until June 30.

During the Quiet Period, Division II coaches:

  • Can invite recruits to visit campus
  • Can have face-to-face interaction with recruits and their family members on campus.
  • Can host camps and clinics on their campuses.

However:

  • Coaches are still prohibited from conducting off-campus recruiting activities.
  • Keep in mind that decisions by colleges regarding whether and when to permit these activities will be guided by campus policies and state and local health authorities.
  • Certain Division II conferences may also choose to impose more restrictions on campus activities than are permitted during a Quiet Period.
