Rules Working Group: Football and Basketball
On October 30, 2013, the FBS members of the NCAA Division I Board of Directors unanimously adopted a proposal that
would allow member institutions to provide meals for up to four family members accompanying a prospective student-athlete on a
football official visit.
The Board of Directors also approved a proposal that would permit a student-athlete to participate in eight hours per week
of required weight training and conditioning instruction, as well as review of game and practice fi lm with a coach (not to exceed two
hours per week) during an eight-week period during the summer in accordance with specifi ed requirements (i.e., enrollment in summer
school, opt-out academic benchmarks, etc.). This rule is applicable to both Football as well as Men’s and Women’s Basketball.
Please note, in order to receive athletics aid, including room and board during this time, student-athletes must be enrolled in
summer school. These new rules are effective immediately.
