[quote=Anonymous]I think the answer depends on what you mean by "recruiting" athletes.  League rules specifically prohibit recruiting (see below).  But I'm sure many schools are always on the lookout for applicants with athletic talent, and encourage student athletes to apply.

[quote]What defines illegal or unethical recruitment of athletes?  
Any violation of the four standards outlined below constitutes illegal or unethical 
recruiting.

A. No school personnel or coach should make first contact with a student 
athlete nor shall a coach go to an off campus athletic event with the intent 
to recruit or evaluate a student athlete. If a prospective student athlete or 
his parents seek information from a member schools representative 
attending a non-high school event, the school’s representative may 
answer preliminary questions and indicate to them that no contact will be 
made by the athletic department until the admissions department is 
contacted by the parents at the school.

B. The school should not award any need-based grant that significantly 
exceeds the amount recommended by School and Student Services for 
Financial Aid. Tuition remission for faculty children is separate from such 
determinations. Merit-based grants, if used, must not be awarded to 
entice athletes to the school.

C. The school should not deviate from its normal admission, academic, or 
social standards for any student athlete. All students must continue to live 
and work by the same school standards.[/quote][/quote]
