Please remember that an athletics department staff member's personal website or social media profile may include information related to the institution's athletics program, subject to the same restrictions applicable to an institution's athletics website. Accordingly, a personal site may contain information pertaining to the institution's athletics program (e.g., game scores, season updates, facility updates, information regarding the coaching staff or current or former student-athletes). However, it is not permissible to include information about or directed toward a specific PSA. Institutions should note that the legislation governing publicity, correspondence and electronic transmissions is also applicable to an athletics department staff member's personal website. For example, a member institution or athletics department staff member may
not comment publicly about a PSA, other than to confirm recruitment, before the PSA has signed a National Letter of Intent (NLI) or an institution's written offer of admission and/or financial aid. The institution is also precluded from commenting in any manner as to the likelihood that a PSA will sign with that institution and may not publicize (or arrange for the publicity of) a PSA's visit to campus, including any camp or clinic held on the institution's campus, before the PSA has signed a NLI, the institution's written offer of admission and/or financial aid. Institutions should note there are no limits on the mode of electronically transmitted correspondence that may be sent to a PSA once an institution is permitted to send such correspondence, provided
the correspondence is sent directly to the PSA (or his or her parents or legal guardians) and is private between the sender and recipient. Once a PSA signs a NLI or an institution's written offer of admission and/or financial aid, the institution may communicate publicly with that PSA.
