In college athletics in the USA, recruiting is the term used for the process whereby college coaches add prospective student athletes to their roster each off-season. In college athletics in the United States, recruiting typically involves a coach extending an athletic scholarship offer to a player who is about to graduate from high school or a junior college. There are instances, mostly at lower division universities, where no scholarship can be awarded and the player has to pay for all of his or her own tuition payments, housing, and textbook costs. During this recruiting process, most schools try hard to comply with recruiting bylaws that support the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s underlying principles of fairness and integrity. The rules define who may be involved in the recruiting process, when recruiting may occur and the conditions under which recruiting may be conducted. Recruiting rules seek, as much as possible, to control intrusions into the lives of prospective student-athletes. The NCAA defines recruiting as “any solicitation of prospective student-athletes or their parents by an institutional staff member or by a representative of the institution’s athletics interests for the purpose of securing a prospective student-athlete’s enrollment and ultimate participation in the institution’s intercollegiate athletics program."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public/Test/Issues/Recruiting/ )〕 ==General process== To be considered a “recruited prospective student-athlete” athletes must be approached by a college coach or representative about participating in that college’s athletic program. NCAA guidelines specify how and when they can be contacted. Letters, telephone calls and in-person conversations are limited to certain frequency and dates during and after junior year. The NCAA also determines when athletes can be contacted by dividing the year into four recruiting and non-recruiting periods:〔 1. During a contact period, recruiters may make in-person, on- or off-campus contacts and evaluations. Coaches can also write and/or phone athletes during this period.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fastweb.com/college-search/articles/693-playing-the-ncaa-game-rules-for-recruitment )〕 2. During an evaluation period, they can only assess academic qualifications and playing abilities; no in-person, off-campus recruiting contacts are permitted. Letters and phone calls are permitted.〔 3. During a quiet period, they may make in-person recruiting contacts only on the college campus. Off-campus, recruiters are limited to phone calls and letter-writing.〔 4. During a dead period, they cannot make in-person recruiting contacts or evaluations on- or off-campus or permit official or unofficial visits. However, phone calls and letters are permitted.〔 During the recruiting process, prospective student-athletes go on an official visit to the school they are being recruited by. An official visit is a prospective student-athlete’s visit to a college campus paid for by the college. The college can pay for transportation to and from the college, room and meals (three per day) while visiting and reasonable entertainment expenses, including three complimentary admissions to a home athletics contest. NCAA recruiting bylaws limit the number of official visits a recruit may take to five.〔 The NCAA has imposed stringent rules limiting the manner in which competing university-firms may bid for the newest crop of prospective student-athletes. Such rules limit the number of visits, which a student-athlete may make to a given campus, the amount of his expenses that may be covered by the university-firm, and so forth. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Recruiting (college athletics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
