Scholarships and Scouting services

Just reading the NCAA website and thought this was interesting.

12.3.3 Athletics Scholarship Agent. Any individual, agency or organization that represents a prospective student-athlete for compensation in placing the prospect in a collegiate institution as a recipient of institutional financial aid shall be considered an agent or organization marketing the individual's athletics ability or reputation.

12.3.3.1 Talent Evaluation Services and Agents. A prospect may allow a scouting service or agent to distribute personal information (e.g., high-school academic and athletics records, physical statistics) to member institutions without jeopardizing his or her eligibility, provided the fee paid to such an agent is not based on placing the prospect in a collegiate institution as a recipient of institutional financial aid.

My take? If a scouting service or a recruiting service guarantees a scholarship to their client, they in essence are saying, "No scholarship..No Pay. To me this makes them an agent and puts them in violation of 12.3.3. noidea

I'm sure PG is up on this legislation and can shed some light.

One piece of advice for all of you out there: be careful with the "prospect services" companies. Most coaches I've talked to (including my dad, who coached college softball for years) see these services as a joke and typically throw these profiles in the garbage, since they know that someone had to PAY these people to say the things they say.
Encourage your high school coach to step up and contact coaches for you - those of us that do this regularly not only get a chance to establish some great relationships with the guys at the next level, but you also see where you are "sending" you boys...
Good luck to all who are chasing the college dream in '06!
