Contacting Prospective Student-Athletes

Ohio State Alumni Club Members,

The Ohio State University Athletics department strives to be the best athletics department on and off the field—a goal that can only be realized with the outstanding support of all of the individuals who are part of Buckeye Nation!  In order to ensure that the Best Fans in the Land are also the most informed fans in the land, the Ohio State Athletics Department periodically provides updates to supporters of the University such as the following:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION #1:

With the NLI Signing Date coming up on February 3, 2010, may our Alumni Club group throw a NLI Signing Party or celebration event for a local prospect who is going to become a Buckeye?

ANSWER #1:

No.  Under NCAA Bylaws 12.1.2.1.6 and 13.2.1, it is not permissible for boosters or booster club groups to provide any type of preferential treatment, benefits or services to prospects or their friends or family.  The provision of a NLI signing party or even simply providing the platform for a prospect to publicize his or her self-funded NLI signing party would be considered impermissible benefits and inducements, resulting in a NCAA violation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION #2:

A prospect has signed his/her NLI—is it OK for me to have contact with them and congratulate them on becoming part of the Buckeye family?

ANSWER #2:

No.  Under NCAA Bylaw 13.01.4, boosters and supporters of The Ohio State University are prohibited from making in-person, on or off-campus contacts or phone calls with prospective student-athletes.  An individual is a prospect while enrolled in grades 9-12 or is a varsity award winner.  After a high school prospect verbally commits (and even after a prospect signs a National Letter of Intent or accepts admission to OSU), the individual retains their status as a “prospect” until the first day of regular season practice or the first day of fall classes—whichever comes first.  As a result, it is not permissible for boosters and supporters to have interaction with prospective student-athletes regarding their attendance at The Ohio State University, even if the prospect has verbally committed, signed a National Letter of Intent, or been admitted to the institution.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION #3:

Is it permissible for our OSU Alumni Club to invite prospective student-athletes to a “senior send-off” event, where our Alumni Club honors local students who are departing for OSU?

ANSWER #3:

Yes.  As cited above, under NCAA Bylaw 13.01.4 boosters are typically prohibited from contacting prospective student-athletes.  However, in the case of a “senior send-off” event where all individuals from the local area who will be attending OSU in the upcoming academic year are honored, it would be permissible for prospective student-athletes to attend based on their status as a future OSU student—the same as all other students who will be attending the event.
