The Division I Council made the decision when it met Tuesday and Wednesday in Indianapolis. Football and basketball will remain unchanged.<\/p>\n<p>The new recruiting model allows potential student-athletes more time to make thoughtful decisions about their next steps after high school. The shift was supported by the national Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese changes will improve the recruiting experience for prospective student-athletes and coaches and lead to better decision-making,\u201d said <strong>Blake James<\/strong>, Council chair and Miami (Florida) director of athletics. \u201cUltimately, a better recruiting process will improve the college experience for Division I student-athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The changes will affect several aspects of the recruiting model. For student-athletes in sports other than football and basketball, official visits now can begin Sept. 1 of a prospect\u2019s junior year in high school instead of the first day of classes for senior year.<\/p>\n<p>Football changed its recruiting model last year to add earlier official visits, starting April 1 of the junior year through the Sunday before the last Wednesday in June.<\/p>\n<p>Men\u2019s basketball allows official visits Jan. 1 of a prospective student-athlete\u2019s junior year. Women\u2019s basketball recruits can take an official visit beginning the Thursday following the NCAA Division I Women\u2019s Basketball Championship game of the prospective student-athlete\u2019s junior year in high school.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, athletics departments can\u2019t participate in a recruit\u2019s unofficial visit until Sept. 1 of the recruit\u2019s junior year in high school, and recruiting conversations during a school\u2019s camp or clinic can\u2019t happen before Sept. 1 of the junior year. Both rules apply to all sports but football and basketball, which have their own rules.<\/p>\n<p>The changes are based on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncaa.org\/about\/resources\/media-center\/news\/di-saac-provides-early-recruiting-feedback\">work of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee<\/a> and the Student-Athlete Experience Committee, and guided by feedback from student-athletes, coaches, athletics directors and compliance administrators. They are considered a first step toward regulating a recruiting process that can begin in middle school \u2014 and sometimes earlier. The Student-Athlete Experience Committee will continue to examine the recruiting environment, with communications (telephone, email, text), verbal and written offers, and off-campus contacts on the agenda for the next phase.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the recruiting model, the Council eliminated restrictions on the sale of alcohol at Division I championships. The decision comes nearly two years after a pilot program that allowed alcohol sales in general seating at the College World Series and Women\u2019s College World Series expanded to include the Football Championship Subdivision\u2019s championship game, wrestling, men\u2019s lacrosse championships in all three divisions, men&#8217;s ice hockey and women&#8217;s volleyball.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Other actions<\/h3>\n<p>Council members adjusted the effective date of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncaa.org\/about\/resources\/media-center\/news\/working-group-supports-notification-transfer-proposal\">notification-of-transfer proposal<\/a> to Oct. 15, 2018. The proposal would eliminate schools\u2019 ability to influence athletics scholarships provided to student-athletes. It includes the creation of a national database for transfer student-athletes to make it known that they wish to be recruited by other schools.<\/p>\n<p>The Council also modified the database portion of the notification-of-transfer proposal to give schools two business days after a student notifies the school he or she will transfer to enter a student-athlete\u2019s name into the database. The group plans to vote on the proposal at its June meeting.<\/p>\n<p>The Council also approved noncontroversial legislation permanently changing the deadline to Nov. 1 each year for the Council to submit legislation. The Council had provided a waiver each year for specific issues, and members anticipated a third request in 2018. Instead of continuing to provide waivers, the Council opted to change the deadline. The deadline for conference-sponsored proposals will remain Sept. 1.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 This is a press release provided by the NCAA<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting with the next school year, most prospective student-athletes will follow a recruiting model that resembles the schedule other students follow when choosing where to go to college.
