The structured timeframe governing collegiate women’s basketball team interactions with prospective student-athletes for the 2023-2024 academic year dictates permitted evaluation periods, contact windows, and recruiting activities. This framework includes designated dates for official and unofficial visits, phone calls, written correspondence, and off-campus interactions. For instance, specific periods may allow coaches to attend a prospect’s high school or AAU game, while others might restrict contact to written communication only.
This regulated schedule provides a level playing field for all NCAA Division I institutions, promoting fair competition and student-athlete well-being. Adherence ensures transparency and minimizes potential exploitation. Historically, the evolution of these regulations reflects an ongoing effort to balance the competitive demands of collegiate athletics with the academic pursuits and personal lives of student-athletes. This careful balance safeguards the integrity of the sport and protects the interests of young athletes navigating the complex recruiting landscape.
