Post NLI Reminders
As a reminder, there is no limit on the number of telephone calls, electronic
communications (text messages, e-mail, etc.) or contacts by Syracuse
University to a prospective student-athlete (or the prospective studentathlete’s relatives or legal guardians) beginning the calendar day after one of
the following events occurs:
(a) The prospective student-athlete signs a National Letter of Intent or
Syracuse University’s written offer of admission and/or financial aid; or
(b) Syracuse University receives a financial deposit in response to the
institution’s offer of admission.
The following conditions apply when contact is made with a prospective
student-athlete who has signed a National Letter of Intent with Syracuse
University:
(a) Any contact at the prospective student-athlete’s educational institution in
men’s basketball shall be confined to the permissible contact period and shall
not exceed one visit per week;
(b) In football, contact at the prospective student-athlete’s educational
institution shall be confined to the permissible contact period and the spring
evaluation period. Contact at the educational institution during the contact
period shall not exceed one visit per week. A visit to the educational institution
during the spring evaluation period that only includes contact with a signed
prospective student-athlete shall be considered one of Syracuse
University’s two permissible days at the institution;
(c) No in-person, off-campus contact may be made during a “dead period”;
(d) No on- or off-campus contact (including correspondence and telephone
calls) may be made by a representative Syracuse University’s athletics interests
except those involving permissible pre-enrollment activities (e.g., a discussion
of summer employment arrangements); and
(e) Contact at the site of a prospective student-athlete’s competition shall
continue to be governed by the provisions of contact restrictions at practice or
competition sites; and
(f) Contact with the prospective student-athlete’s relatives or legal guardians at
the site of the prospective student-athlete’s competition shall be permitted.
Note: This regulation does not permit Syracuse University to exceed the limit
of evaluations for prospects who have not signed a National Letter of Intent or
who have not signed an institution’s written offer of admissions and/or financial aid. A visit (without contact) by a coaching staff member to a prospective
student-athlete’s educational institution counts as an evaluation for all prospective student-athletes in that sport at that educational institution
