NCAA Division I Council extends recruiting dead period through Sept. 30

The NCAA Divison I Council Coordination Committee has extended the recruiting dead period in all sports through Sept. 30, per a press release from the NCAA. The previous end date was set for the end of this month on Aug. 31. The Council and Council Coordination Committee plan to review this new end date on a regular basis.

Here is a full quote from the NCAA’s press release:

Members also extended the temporary recruiting dead period for all sports through Sept. 30, 2020.

The dead period has been in place since March and is a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Council took feedback from coaching associations in making its decision, and most coaching groups recommended the extension through at least Sept. 30. The full Council will consider the dead period again in September.

No in-person recruiting or evaluations can occur in the dead period.
