AUGUST 2023 31 We all want to see the athletic department succeed! And it takes everyone for that success to happen. However, we need to remember that our coaches are the only individuals who are permitted to recruit prospective student-athletes to participate in intercollegiate athletics. VAF members cannot make telephone calls to prospective student-athletes, engage in in-person contact with prospective student-athletes, evaluate pro- spective student-athletes, write emails to prospective student-athletes, send text messages to prospective student-athletes or contact prospective student- athletes via social media. If a prospective student-athlete calls a VAF member, the member can accept the call but cannot engage in recruiting discussions. However, a VAF member can discuss things that include general questions about Charlottesville, degree programs or living on Grounds. Anything about the athletic department or par- ticipating in intercollegiate athletics is prohibited. Even if a VAF member has a previously established relationship with a pro- spective student-athlete, such as a family friend or neighbor, NCAA rules pre- clude the member from recruiting the prospective student-athlete. If you have any questions about this topic, please email the Athletics Compliance Office at athleticscompliance@virginia.edu.
