Recruiting is any intentional effort to solicit (for purpose of securing the enrollment and ultimately the athletic participation in the institution's intercollegiate athletics program) a prospect (or the prospect’s family or legal guardian) by a member of the institution's staff.

A prospective student-athlete becomes a recruited prospect when an institution’s staff member does any of the following:

• Provide the prospect with an official (expense paid) visit to the institution
• Have arranged an in-person, off-campus face-to-face encounter with the prospect (or his/her parents or legal guardian)
• Initiates or arranges more than one telephone call with the prospect (or family members or guardians) for the purpose of recruitment

You, as a “Representative of Falcon Athletics,” may NOT make in-person, on- or off-campus recruiting contacts, or write or telephone a prospect or his/her parents on behalf of BGSU for the purpose of soliciting their enrollment and ultimately their participation in the institution’s athletic programs. Only coaches and BGSU Athletics Department staff members may be involved in the recruiting process.
