Remember--2007-042 is effective now

From LSDBi:

Date Issued: Jan 28, 2008
Type: Ed. Column

NCAA Division I institutions should note that recently adopted NCAA Division I Proposal No. 2007-42 has an immediate effective date. All evaluations, including evaluations that occur during the 2008 spring evaluation period, are limited to regularly scheduled high school, preparatory school and two-year college contests and practices and regular scholastic activities involving prospective student-athletes enrolled at the institution at which the regular scholastic activities occur.  Therefore, evaluations may not occur at nonscholastic events, including, but not limited to, camps, combines and all-star games.

[References:  NCAA Proposal No. 2007-42 (contacts and evaluations -- football evaluations  -- scholastic activities) and NCAA Bylaw 13.1.8.9.4 (scholastic and nonscholastic activities)]

EdCol--Impermissible expenses for outside competition

LSDBi has an EdCol today about receipt of expenses for outside competition. The EdCol has several examples and makes a point of referencing the sport of golf.

Gearing up
