The NCAA's Board of Directors approved a package of recruiting reforms Thursday aimed at limiting the perks given to athletes while coaches are recruiting them.
The proposals were made by a recruiting task force that NCAA President Myles Brand created in February after high-profile recruiting scandals came to light at Colorado and the University of Miami.
The new rules prohibit the use of charter flights or private planes on recruiting trips, and require the use of school vehicles or standard-equipped vehicles to transport high school prospects from airports.
Among other issues that must be addressed in the recruiting policy are:
A prohibition of underage drinking, sex, drug use, gambling or gaming activities and the use of strippers during campus visits.
Statements about curfews, if any, on- and off-campus entertainment and the role student hosts will play during the visit.
An explanation of how head coaches will discuss the policy with prospects.
The package calls on schools to specify penalties for violations that will be self-imposed. The NCAA also could penalize violators if infractions are determined to be "fundamentally contrary" to the school's stated policy.
Colleges will face a Dec. 1 deadline to submit a written policy with their conferences or the NCAA before high school prospects are allowed to make campus visits this year.
The recruiting task force also proposed reducing the number of official recruiting visits athletes are allowed, from five to four, and that schools pay for one parent to travel with student-athletes on their recruiting trips.
Those proposals will not be voted on by the NCAA's board until next year.
