Compliance Corner - March 4, 2011 Question

Q: Does the definition of a 'week' differ between recruiting and the playing season rules?


A: Yes. For purposes of the playing season regulations, a "week" can be any consecutive seven day period which is declared by the sport prior to the beginning of the year (i.e., Monday-Sunday or Wednesday-Tuesday). However, for purposes of recruiting regulations (i.e., telephone contact, visits to a prospect's school) a "week" is defined by the NCAA as Sunday through Saturday.
