2. Front Rush?
Front Rush is a modern software/application used by athletic departments throughout the nation to perform the day-to-day tasks required when communicating with current student-athletes and prospective student-athletes.
For the purpose of this presentation and considering my role at University of Mary as the Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance, the importance of Front Rush in maintaining NCAA and NSIC compliance will be identified.

4. Violation Tracking
Front Rush is updated frequently with NCAA bylaws allowing potential recruiting and countable athletic related activity (CARA) violations to be prevented. Examples include informing coaches when they are nearing allowable CARA hours or warning them before they communicate with recruits when not allowed.

5. Forms Management
Front Rush allows form creation and uploading for disbursement and completion by new incoming and returning student-athletes. Once these from are completed, it also has a feature that identifies which athletes have completed and not completed each form required.

6. Countable Athletic Related Activity Logs
Using a calendar feature, Front Rush captures and calculates inputted times by coaches for activities such as competition, practice, team/film meetings, and other required activities. Once weeks end, a confirmation message is sent to a designated student- athlete on the team for verification and signature.

7. Student-Athlete Communication Reporting
Front Rush provides report creation of all communications between coaches and student-athletes from their first date of recruitment until the time they graduate or no longer participate in an athletic program.
