*Note for Boosters and Fans About Recruiting Activity*
Boosters and fans have always been prohibited from recruiting, or attempting to recruit, prospective student-athletes. Over the course of the past decade, many new technological advances have allowed people to communicate in ways previously uncontemplated. There are many Internet websites and social networking programs that allow forms of communication between people, including Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and others. It is VERY important to remember that the same prohibition on boosters and fans recruiting prospective student-athletes applies to online communication as well. If you are a booster or a fan of Indiana Athletics, we ask that you refrain from contacting prospective student-athletes (9th grade or above) regarding anything about Indiana University, including through social networking websites such as Facebook. Even a comment such as "IU is great, you'd love it here!", when posted by an IU booster or fan on a prospective-student athlete's social networking page, could possibly prove troublesome. Please refrain from contacting any prospective student-athlete about Indiana University if you are a booster or fan, including through social networking websites and programs. Indiana University appreciates and values your support for IU Athletics. Go Hoosiers!
As of April 15, 2008, coaches will no longer be able to text message or instant message
(IM) prospects, until the prospect has signed a National Letter of Intent (NLI). Until
that time, the only permissible form of electronic communications will be fax and e-mail
(on or after September 1 of the prospect's junior year).
