Division I Legislative Actions and Issues
 
Employment of Prospects
 
NCAA legislation does mandate that strict protocol be followed when the employment of a current student-athlete or prospective student-athlete becomes a possibility.
 
Currently Enrolled Student-Athletes (12.4.1)
Compensation may be paid to a student-athlete:
(a) Only for work actually performed; and
(b) At a rate commensurate with the going rate in that locality for similar services.
 
Representatives of athletics interests are allowed to employ or assist in securing the employment of current student-athletes provided:
 
Student-athletes MUST consult and complete the appropriate paperwork with the Compliance Office prior to the initial date of employment.
 
Prospective Student-Athletes (13.2.3)
Prior to Completion of Senior Year—Nonathletics Award Winners (13.2.3.1)
An institution’s athletics department may employ a prospective student-athlete who is not an athletics award winner and not recruited by the institution, provided the employment is arranged through normal institutional employment procedures (e.g., local newspaper, bulletin board listings). Any compensation received by the prospective student-athlete must be for work actually performed and commensurate with the going rate for such services in the locale.
 
Prior to Completion of Senior Year—Athletics Award Winners (13.2.3.2)
An institution may employ a prospective student-athlete who is an athletics award winner in any department outside intercollegiate ath­letics, provided the employment is arranged through normal institutional employment procedures (e.g., local newspaper, bulletin board listings) and without the intervention of any member of the institution’s coaching staff. Any compensation received by the prospective student-athlete must be for work actually performed and commensurate with the going rate for such services in the locale. For purposes of this bylaw, institutional recre­ation programs, even if reporting to the athletics director, may be considered outside the intercollegiate athlet­ics department. An institution may hire a prospective student-athlete, who is an athletics award winner, in its recreation programs, only if recreation and facility managers and no intercollegiate coaches are involved with the hiring and supervision of these employees.
 
After Completion of Senior Year (13.2.3.3)
An institution may arrange for employment or employ any pro­spective student-athlete (regardless of athletics award winner status), provided the employment does not begin prior to the completion of the prospective student-athlete’s senior year in high school.
 
Two-Year College Prospective Student-Athletes (13.2.3.3.1)
Once a prospective student-athlete has enrolled as a full-time student in a two-year college, the arrangement of employment by an institution for such a prospective student-athlete shall be permitted, provided the employment does not begin prior to the time period in which the prospective student-athlete has officially withdrawn from or has completed requirements for graduation at the two-year college.
