National Collegiate Athletic Association rules governing the recruitment of prospective student-athletes are quite complicated, but one rule is clear: The NCAA prohibits faculty and staff members from having recruiting contact with prospective student-athletes off campus.

The faculty and staff may conduct academic interviews and other normal duties of their position as long as these activities occur on the campus of UAB. When working with prospective student-athletes, ask before you act by contacting the Athletic Compliance Office at 975-3051 or by e-mail at chadj@uab.edu .
