INFORMATION FOR OUR FRIENDS & FANS
OF ATHLETICS
As alumni, fans, and friends of athletics, we share responsibility for compliance. Our coaches appreciate your input in helping to identify
outstanding student-athletes, however, the NCAA has restrictions on what you can do. Please refer to the list below of ways you can help athletics. ·
Join A Friends Group/Sports Association
These groups provide support for teams through funding for special team trips, recruiting, and hosting receptions for teams at home and away contests.
This is the best way to help your team of choice, and you’ll be kept up to date on their progress throughout the year.
· Identify Outstanding Student-Athletes
If you know of outstanding student-athletes in your area, send information such as newspaper clippings to the respective coach, or give the coach a call and let him/her take it from there.
· Reminder
You can not contact prospects directly, nor can you contact high school coaches or guidance counselors to get information on prospects, but there is no rule against attending their contests.
· Offer Assistance to the Coaching Staff
You may provide lodging, meals and transportation to the coaches when they come to your community to contact and evaluate prospects.
· Provide Summer Jobs and Internships
REMEMBER: ALWAYS ASK BEFORE YOU ACT!
