Presence of Media During Recruiting Contact:
No media entity may be present during any recruiting contact made between a Lindenwood coaching staff member and a prospective student-athlete.
Publicity Before Commitment:
An institution may comment publicly on a prospective student-athlete only to confirm the institution’s recruitment of that prospect. It is not permissible to comment on the prospect’s ability or potential contribution to the team. This restriction is in place until the prospect has:
