19. Changes in Legislation NCAA Regional Rules Enforcement Football Group May 14-18, 2012 page 19 Nonscholastic Events on Campus An institution shall not host, sponsor or conduct a nonscholastic football practice or competition on its campus or at an off-campus facility regularly used by the institution for practice and/or competitions by any of its institution’s sports programs.

20. Changes in Legislation NCAA Regional Rules Enforcement Football Group May 14-18, 2012 page 20 Ban on Non Scholastic Events 13.11.1.10 Nonscholastic Practice or Competition -- Football. An institution [including any institutional department (e.g., athletics, recreational/intramural)] shall not host, sponsor or conduct a nonscholastic football practice or competition (e.g., seven-on-seven events) in which football prospective student-athletes participate on its campus or at an off-campus facility regularly used by the institution for practice and/or competition by any of the institution's sport programs.

21. Changes in Legislation NCAA Regional Rules Enforcement Football Group May 14-18, 2012 page 21 Ban on 7 on 7 Competitions Rationale: There has been a proliferation of nonscholastic football events recently conducted on institutional campuses or using institutional facilities, and such events are frequently associated with recruiting efforts. Rather than continue to support an increase in these types of events, it is appropriate to enact a ban on any institutional involvement with nonscholastic football events. This proposal would institute such a ban, while still permitting regular and postseason scholastic events to be played on an institution's campus in accordance with applicable rules (i.e., tryout exception).

If so, investigate the timing of the purchase (e.g., related to the recruitment of a prospective student-athlete). 2. Is the recruiting service tied to a nonprofit organization that provides benefits for a nonscholastic team, prospective student-athletes or an individual associated with a prospective student-athlete? (See Bylaws 13.2.1 and 13.15.1.) a. A basic Internet search for a nonprofit Web site or nonscholastic team Web site may indicate nonprofit status. b.
