Compliance Corner

The override period for the following two proposals ended yesterday with just a few requests, so action by the Board on them is now final:

Adopted: 2008-078--In sports other than football, specifies that skill-related instruction shall not be publicized and shall not be conducted in view of a general public audience. 

Defeated: 2007-109--Permits an institution to designate two videographers and one photographer to be present at NCAA championship events involving the institution's teams; further specifies that one videographer shall be permitted access to the area designated for media photographers and shall be limited to capturing video images for nonscouting purposes and specifies that one videographer and the photographer shall have access to the institution's team locker room prior to, during and after the contest, subject to institutional discretion.

Still fuming over the staff/official interp about no-star camps? There's an EdCol that tries to explain the nuances.

I still stick by what I said earlier.

We may not always point out the appearance of new NCAA interps and EdCols in this space because the LSDBi Announcements feed at left should automatically handle the heavy lifting. But we'll point you to the new EdCol about NCAA 16.8.1.5, simply because the rule is so confusing and this is the most detailed explanation we've seen to date. 

You can stop reading after the first six paragraphs. But it sure sounds to me like the author used to work in compliance in a former life.

After a calendar-induced absence of a year or two, the football recruiting dead period that surrounds the initial NLI signing date for mid-year junior college transfers is back. You can pick up a reminder.
