The NCAA Board of Directors voted in favor of the men's basketball recruiting reform package today. It's intention is to address the ways money is funneled to those associated with prospects.
Here is what will change beginning in the 2009-10 legislative cycle:
Non-coaching staff hiring practices: Schools won't be allowed to hire people in non-coaching positions associated with prospects two years before or after the prospect's actual or anticipated enrollment.
Institutional Camp/Clinic Employment: Schools are only allowed to hire its own staff members or enrolled students at its camps and clinics. No more paying AAU coaches, high school coaches and whoever else to work camps.
Recruiting Services: College coaches are no longer allowed to subscribe to recruiting services that are run by those associated with prospects. Many AAU coaches just send out a piece of paper and are paid in upwards of ,000 by college coaches.
Donation to non-profits: Schools can no longer donate to non-profit organizations that are linked to summer travel programs.out a piece of paper and are paid in upwards of 1,000 by college coaches.
