NAIA
The NAIA prohibits coaches or other school officials from making initial contact with an athlete who has enrolled at another institution. If a student is enrolled at another college, and the student initiates contact with an NAIA school, the NAIA school must notify the other college of their contact with that student.

The NJCAA allows an athlete to visit a campus for two days and nights. The visit must be completed no less than ten days before the opening date of classes. A school may not lure a prospective student with gifts. A school is permitted to buy meals for a prospective student, but the spending limit is equal to the amount that employees of that institution would spend if traveling for college-related business.
