NCAA changes recruiting rules

By Cash Kruth (Last updated: 11/02/09 7:11pm)

The NCAA approved new rules Thursday to limit money being distributed to third parties, ESPN reported.

The changes — intended to limit access of non-NCAA coaches who run camps and try to recruit players — immediately were put into effect.

Coaches now are not allowed to employ someone associated with a prospective student-athlete at a camp or clinic, make payments to nonprofit organizations that a person associated with a prospect has a proprietary or financial interest in, or use 1-900 telephone numbers for recruiting purposes.

Coaches who violate any of the rules could face game suspensions.
