NCAA to back booster recruiting ban
United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The NCAA Council will support legislation at the next NCAA convention that would ban boosters from collegiate recruiting and cut formal recruiting periods in half, NCAA President Jack Davis said yesterday.
Other changes the council has proposed would loosen the requirements on who can receive a student-athlete's complimentary tickets and allow schools to pay transportation and housing for athletes to attend team members' funerals.
Davis of the University of Oregon also said the council would put before the full convention a series of measures involving coaches' outside income, but none of the measures would limit that income.
None of the council's decisions are
binding, but the group will back the legislation at the National Collegeate Athletic Association convention in January in San Diego. All proposed legislation must be in the hands of the NCAA staff by Nov. 1 to be considered at the San Diego convention.
The council said it backed a measure "to take boosters and any other people other than institutional staff out of the recruiting process entirely." Davis said. "The proposal would prohibit contact by (anyone) other than institutional staff at any time, either off campus or on campus and prohibit any telephone or mail contact."
"Hopeless we can not only leave the recruiting up to those that know what they're doing, but also reduce the potential for abuses and violations in recruiting," Davis said.
"We wanted to reduce the pressures on coaches as well as the student athletes and their families, as well as reducing some of the potential for violation and reducing costs." Davis said, adding that the coaches associations had input on the decision to cut the recruiting periods.
Davis said the current football
recruiting period of seven months would be cut to $ 3 \frac{1}{2} $months, and basketball recruiting would be sliced from eight to four months.
Football coaches, if the legislation is passed, will only be able to contact recruits from Dec. 1 until the first Saturday after the first day national letters of intent can legally be signed in mid-February. Evaluations would be legal only during November and a two-week period in May.
Basketball recruits could only be contacted the last two weeks in September, the first week of October
and from March 1 until the first Saturday after the national signing date. Evaluations would be limited to the last three weeks each of July, December and February.
Coaches' outside income would be subject to prior university approval.
nursest to prior university approval
— but not limited — under a series of other measures, all of which will be voted on separately. Those items would have a coach annually report his outside income; not allow staff members to use the school logo without prior permission; not accept compensation for their team's use of shoes or merchandise without prior permission; or not accept compensation for changing schedules.
The council also said it would support a rule change that would allow student athletes to distribute their complimentary tickets to whomever they please.
