Clemson Compliance Corner - Football NLI Early Signing Period Reminders - December 16-18, 2020

As an IPTAY member, you are considered a representative of an institution’s athletics interests (i.e., booster) for Clemson University. Given your status as a booster, it is important to remember you have additional NCAA parameters concerning prospective-student-athletes. In general, the NCAA considers prospects to be 9^th – 12^th graders or any other unofficial visitors, prep school students, and junior college student-athletes.

DI Football’s National Letter of Intent Early Signing Period is Wednesday, December 16 to Friday, December 18, 2020. Accordingly, please remember the following information:

• It is not permissible for a booster to contact a prospect or his/her parents (or legal guardians) for the purpose of soliciting recruitment to Clemson. Contact includes:
  • Written Correspondence
  • In-Person Contact
  • Phone Calls
  • Social Media
• Boosters may not contact a prospect’s high school/club coach, principal, or counselor in an attempt to contact or evaluate the prospect.
• Boosters may not provide tickets to an athletics event to a prospect or a prospect’s family or friends.
• Boosters may not provide free tailgate food and drink to prospects, their family or friends, as well as current student-athletes and their family or friends.
• Even after a prospect signs an NLI, these rules continue to apply.

Please continue to Ask Before You Act and always feel free to contact Clemson University Athletics Compliance Services at cuacs@clemson.edu. Thank you for your continued support of Clemson Athletics!
