Huge potential changes came out of the NCAA today.  The Division I recruiting and athletics personnel issues cabinet endorsed a number of rule changes that would completely alter the college recruiting landscape.  The biggest changes are:

• A proposal to eliminate a cap on phone calls to a prospective student-athletes during a sports contact period.
• A proposal to prohibit the distribution of media guides to recruits.
• The cabinet also supported Proposal No. 2009-48, sponsored by the Southeastern Conference, which would limit to 28 the number of football prospective student-athletes in the Football Bowl Subdivision who may sign a National Letter of Intent or an institutional offer of financial aid from the first day of the signing day in February through May 31 and 2009-56, which originated with the Men’s Basketball Issues Committee and would require scouting services in all sports to provide specific services, such as dissemination of information at least quarterly, in order for coaches to subscribe to them.

These rules have the potential to drastically change the way the recruiting game is played.  NCSA will be monitoring these changes to make sure all of the recruits we are guiding know how to best take advantage.  It is just one of the advantages to getting recruiting guidance from a trusted source like NCSA.
