We have updated text for the recently approved ARS blanket waiver Case No. 10836 on LSDBi:
NCAA Division I Bylaws 13.02.11 (definitions and applications – prospective student-athlete) and 13.02.11.1 (prospective student-athlete - application). July 1, 2008. The Division I Management Council Administrative Review Subcommittee granted a blanket waiver for the 2008 summer to specify that an individual is no longer considered a prospective student-athlete when he or she officially registers and enrolls in an institution’s summer term prior to initial enrollment in a regular term and attends class. Specifically, such an individual shall not be subject to the contact limitations in NCAA Bylaw 13 as they relate to contact by the certifying institution and may be considered a student-athlete for purposes of Bylaw 16. The individual would still be considered a PSA for purposes of applying the remaining provisions of Bylaw 13 and other bylaws. The subcommittee notes the blanket waiver is appropriate considering the feedback received from the Academics, Eligibility and Compliance Cabinet Subcommittee on Recruiting and the cabinet's decision to sponsor legislation for the 2008-09 legislative cycle. The subcommittee notes the blanket waiver will resolve the issue until legislation can be considered in the future.
