Clemson Compliance Corner - All-Sports Recruiting Dead Period - Prohibition on Contact & Recruiting Visits - Through May 31

On Thursday, April 15, 2021, the NCAA Division I Council decided the all-sports temporary COVID-19 recruiting dead period through Monday, May 31, 2021 will expire on Tuesday, June 1, 2021. On June 1, 2021, all sports will move into their respective recruiting calendar listed here on NCAA.org.

During a dead period, NCAA rules prohibit in-person recruiting contacts or evaluations on or off a Division I campus. Also, official and unofficial visits by prospective student-athletes to a DI campus are prohibited during this time. Please note the other specific NCAA prohibitions while the dead period is in effect:

  • It is impermissible for Clemson Athletics Department staff members to send itineraries (e.g., campus tours, instructions on accessing athletics facilities) to prospective student-athletes, their family members, or their friends for visits to campus.
  • Clemson institutional staff members and prospective student-athletes may not engage in virtual communication (e.g., phone call, video call) if prospective-student-athletes are on-campus.
  • Clemson coaches may not conduct virtual campus tours with prospective student-athletes who are on-campus even if no in-person contact occurs between the prospective student-athletes and Clemson coaches.
  • Clemson athletics staff may not provide campus tours to prospective student-athletes, their family members, or their friends for visits to campus.
  • Clemson student-athletes may not provide access to a prospective student-athlete, their family, or their friends to an institutional facility closed to the general public (e.g., practice/competition facility, weight room).
