I am referring to camps for money.
I was asked this and I am drawing a blank. I was under the impression that they could have camps but not just for their school.

The "camps" we have attended have had other colleges represented, but mostly JUCO's, maybe a D-2. Perhaps that is how they get around the rules and promote their "recruiting programs" as general "camps". I believe this is also why they must charge a fee.
I was wondering about that because I always believed they had restrictions on holding their own camps without having other schools. there was also something about the type of testing of skills they could not do.
Division I schools cannot hold tryout camps
They can hold camps
They can hold showcases in conjunction with another operation but the skills portion cannot be done on campus

Thanks for the info.
It may be a matter of semantics. My son has attended a number of camps/showcases at D1's that included on-campus skills assessments such as the 60, SPARQ ratings, pitching speed, infield and outfield velocity, etc. At the TCU showcase he attended last November or December, there were several TCU coaches present plus a number of other schools represented, including D1's such as UT-Arlington and Oklahoma State.
I think you will find with recent rule changes (last couple of years), if the event is put on by the school, they can do whatever they want such as youth camps, prospect camps, etc. given the recruiting calendar.
If the event is put on by an outside organization, they can not do skills events such as running 60's and SPARQ type events on the NCAA campus. They can do games on campus.
JC's are not part of NCAA, so you will see more events at those campus.

The above,IMO, is correct, D1 schools can do whatever they want on their own turf.
Outside organizations cannot, they are allowed competition events only (tournies, games). No showcases. The way to get around it is by using another nearby facility for evaluation.
