My take.

1. This is an unrealistic position for the NCAA in 2015.
2. I would never think to directly contact a recruit anyway.
3. I certainly wouldn't trust the NCAA to enforce something like this fairly.

Another choice excerpt from the Compliance brochure:

Recruiting Extras


The NCAA does not allow boosters to contact
prospects by any electronic communication, this
includes MySpace, Facebook, Internet chats, etc.
A prospect remains a prospect even after he or
she signs a National Letter of Intent (NLI) or
commits to ISU. Therefore, contact by a booster
is not permissible until the individual begins his
or her fi rst regular term (fall or spring) at ISU or
begins preseason practice (two-a-days).

Posting on behalf of the ISU Compliance office...

Cyclone Fans, please be reminded that NCAA rules prohibit fans/boosters from recruiting on an institution’s behalf. This means sending recruiting communications (emails, texts, Tweets, Facebook messages, etc.) to prospective student-athletes is impermissible. Violations of this bylaw could result in recruiting sanctions or athletes being deemed ineligible. If you have any questions concerning this or any NCAA rules, please contact the Compliance Office at
[email protected] or through twitter: @ISUcompliance. Thanks and go Cyclones!


Because the Compliance Office knows that we have threads about contacting recruits, CW posting this on their behalf is probably considered a good faith effort of "enforcement."

Serious question(s) - can you follow recruits on twitter if you don't tweet at them and can you favorite recruits tweets?

seems to me I could enroll for one online class at KU, tweet and otherwise make public statements about giving a recruit cash, and that would be a violation for them. Make it as obvious as possible.

Stop tweeting to players. You aren't as young, hip, and cool as you think you are.

Can I still have recruits in my Top 8?

Are you a Booster?

A booster, or what the NCAA refers to as a “representative
of the institution’s athletics interests,â€￾
is an individual, independent agency, corporate
entity or other organization that has:
1) Been a National Cyclone Club Member; or
2) Donated money to the athletics department; or
3) Been a season ticket holder; or
4) Assisted in the recruitment of a prospect; or
5) Been involved in promoting ISU athletics; or
6) Have assisted in providing benefi ts to studentathletes
or their families; or
7) Attended ISU as a student
Once identified as a booster, you retain that identity.
ONCE A BOOSTER, ALWAYS A BOOSTER!

Yeah. Six degrees of Kevin Bacon. Everybody that graduated from ISU probably is a permanent booster. What a bunch of malarkey. Maybe we can work with Hoks fans. They recruit for us and we recruit for them. Workaround.

Please define good faith. It is used everywhere. I have good faith that CPR can win six.
