What are the rules for camps after ballgames? My son received a flyer from a DI college team about a camp after a day game. There's two, one in March and one in April.

I found the info. Here's what is in the NCAA Bylaws about camps.
"13.12.1.3 Recruiting Calendar Exceptions
The interaction during sports camps and clinics between prospective student-athletes and those coaches employed by the camp or clinic is not subject to the recruiting calendar restrictions. However, an institutional staff member employed at any camp or clinic (e.g., counselor, director) is prohibited from recruiting any prospective student-athlete during the time period that the camp or clinic is conducted (i.e., from the time the prospective student-athlete reports to the camp or clinic until the conclusion of all camp activities). The prohibition against recruiting includes extending verbal or written offers of financial aid to any prospective student-athlete during his or her attendance at the camp or clinic. Other coaches wishing to attend the camp as observers must comply with appropriate recruiting contact and evaluation periods. In addition, institutional camps or clinics may not be conducted during a dead period. "
Also, any athlete going to a Spring camp during the HS season needs to check with your state's HS athletic association. In Kentucky, football and basketball have restrictions, but baseball does not. Go figure.
