Which describes impermissible recruitment or inducements toward prospective student-athletes?

• A. Providing official campus tours within allowed periods.
• B. Offering accepted, legal scholarship packages.
• C. Off-campus recruitment visits beyond allowed periods.
• D. Scheduling regular practice sessions.

Answer: (C)

The point being tested is how recruiting activity is regulated by scheduling and windows for contact. Off-campus recruitment visits outside the allowed periods violate the established recruiting calendar, meaning coaches or staff are approaching prospective student-athletes when they are not permitted to, which can also create improper inducements or pressure. The other scenarios fall within permitted activities (official campus tours during allowed times) or routine program operations (scholarship offers, normal practice scheduling) and do not constitute impermissible recruitment. Therefore, off-campus recruitment visits beyond the allowed periods describe the prohibited behavior.
