NCAA Recruiting Rules Changes

NCAA allows schools to reimburse players for unofficial and official visits canceled due to coronavirus

The NCAA continues to open up their rulebook in order to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.

In an announcement made Friday evening, the organization issued a number of waivers to schools regarding expenses for student-athletes. The most notable of these includes allowing programs to reimburse recruits for expenses related to canceled official and unofficial visits.

Schools pick up the tab for official visits already but if there’s something like an extra family member coming along, seems like that can get reimbursed now. Unofficial visits are paid entirely by the players and their families themselves.

It remains to be seen how this reimbursement will work. Given the number of visits that take place during the coming weeks for spring football practice, it could add up to some sizable checks being cut either way.

“The NCAA Division I Council and its Coordination Committee recognize that the decisions they make must be grounded in the values of higher education and must reflect the realities of the challenges facing higher education. This is certainly magnified during this unprecedented period resulting from COVID-19,” said Grace Calhoun, chair of the Division I Council. “To that end, as an example, the Coordination Committee, acting on behalf of the Council, took timely action to address health and safety concerns among student-athletes, prospective student-athletes and coaches. The Coordination Committee identified other issues that lend themselves to full Council review and decision-making.”

While it doesn’t specifically apply to football, a vote on eligibility relief for spring/winter sports athletes will be held on March 30.

The NCAA has already halted all person-to-person recruiting until April 15. This has resulted in a dead period across all sports, including football.

The fact this is such a big headline only underscores that most people expect the NCAA to pull a dick move whenever possible.

Yeah. Might there be a slight difference between joining the volunteer army in the 70s and 80s peacetime and the universal draft after Hitler declared War on us after Pearl Harbor was bombed by Japan?

This is probably my record for time elapsed between quoted post and reply, but many of those who entered service in the '70s and '80s ended up serving in battle, such as in Grenada (the invasion of which my brother was involved) and Desert Storm.

Ice preference..

None.

My mom grew up in Europe. I didn’t know what an ice cube was until I started working at McDonalds when I was in high school. (Not much of an exaggeration).

I don’t understand why you all insist on watering down your beverages. There are things like refrigerators and freezers to make your beverage cold without diluting.

Often, a little bit of dilution smooths out the edges of a good cocktail.
