Scholarships Still Available

Please reply to name link.

You better go consult the NCAA manual before you get people in trouble.

hit me up with some info as well

Yeh dude im keen as for a bit of info

violation to post that stuff

It is not a violation if the school has no part of it. In addition, there is no listing of which school it is. Kind of hard to prove all that stuff, even with an IP Address.

I'm a 14 55, 31 10 guy with 2 years and a redshirt left. I'm interested.

Yes, it is a violation. This person is acting in the interest of the school and athletic program and is therefore considered a booster. Also, it wouldn't be very hard to prove anything. How do you know that when this guy e-mails one of these people that they won't take that information and turn it over? Seems to me that would be pretty easy. This IS a violation.

quite clearly a violation. i'm suprises this thread is still up this morning. if you value your eligibility, don't email this guy.

I'm going to have to continue to disagree about this being a violation. Maybe you failed your NCAA recruiting test. It doesn't matter how fast the people are or aren't, a violation is a violation. No school should be able to recruit like this on a message board.

It's against the rules, but why?

What is wrong with saying school X has 2 scholarships available anyhow? Are scholarships evil things that the general public needs protection from?

This is another rule that has trickled down to olympic sports from football and basketball. If they can take advantage of anything, they will. The NCAA has to make rules and put them across the board when things like this come up. It probably wouldn't be a bad thing for sports such as track to be able to use the internet to recruit like this, but football and basketball would take it to the next level. Like it or not, its a rule to keep the playing field level.

I've run 9:18 3200m and 4:16 1600m last friday.(sub 15:30 in cross)

to check times just go to:(leader boards)

13.02.5.1 Permissible Recruitment Activities for Enrolled Student-Athletes

(a) Off-campus contacts. Off-campus, in-person recruiting contacts that are unavoidable incidental contacts between enrolled student-athletes (or other enrolled students) and a prospect are permissible if such contacts do not occur at the direction of a coaching staff member.

(b) Telephone contact. It is permissible for an enrolled student-athlete to receive telephone calls made at the expense of a prospect subsequent to July 1 following the completion of the prospect?s junior year in high school. Telephone calls made by enrolled students (excluding student-athletes) pursuant to an institution?s regular admissions program directed at all prospective students shall be permissible.

(c) Written correspondence. It is permissible for an enrolled student-athlete to engage in written correspondence, provided it is not done at the direction and/or expense of the member institution. (Revised: 1/9/96 effective 8/1/96)

(d) Unavoidable incidental contact. If unavoidable incidental contact occurs between a student-athlete and a prospect (even at the prospect?s high school), such contact is permissible, provided the institution had no prior knowledge of the occurrence of the contact.

(e) Official visits. An enrolled student-athlete may participate as a student host during a prospect?s official visit to the institution?s campus. As a student host, a student-athlete may receive the following:

(1) A maximum of $30 for each day of the visit to cover all actual costs of entertaining the prospect (and the prospect?s parents, legal guardians or spouse), excluding the cost of meals and admission to campus athletics events. These funds may not be used for the purchase of souvenirs such as T-shirts or other institutional mementos. It is permissible to provide the student host with an additional $15 per day for each additional prospect the host entertains. (Revised: 1/9/96 effective 8/1/96)

In the event that several students host a prospect, the $30 per day entertainment money may be utilized to cover the actual and necessary expenses incurred by the prospect and all hosts. Only one student host per prospect may be provided a free meal if restaurant facilities are utilized;

(2) A complimentary meal, provided the student host is accompanying the prospect during the prospect?s official visit; and

(3) A complimentary admission to a campus athletics event, provided the admission is used to accompany a prospect to that event during the prospect?s official visit.

(f) Unofficial visits. A prospect on an unofficial visit may stay in an enrolled student-athlete?s dormitory room, provided the prospect pays the regular institutional rate for such lodging.

it's chassie! and why'd you shoot me?

Great, but you have to realize the interp. This is active recruitment, not general written correspondence.

and, further, we have no idea whether this guy is an "enrolled student-athlete" either.
