13.4.2 Video/Audio Materials
A member institution may not produce video/audio materials to show or send to a prospect except as specified in Bylaws 13.4.2.1, 13.4.2.2 and 13.4.2.3. Violations of this bylaw shall be considered institutional violations per Constitution 2.8.1; however, they shall not affect the prospective student-athlete's eligibility. (Adopted: 1/11/94 effective 8/1/94; Revised: 1/9/96 effective 8/1/96)
13.4.2.1 Highlight Film/Videotape/Audio Tape
An institution may show a highlight film/videotape/audio tape to a prospect or the prospect's coach but may not send it to or leave it with the prospect or coach. Highlight films/videotapes/audio tapes are "game clips" that contain informational material that is related to a particular event or sports season. Any narration on the highlight film/videotape/audio tape must relate specifically to the event or sports season. Highlight films/videotapes/audio tapes may include only clips of actual athletics contests and activities that occur on the day of the contest that are directly related to the contest (e.g., pre-game player introductions, half-time band and cheerleader performances, locker-room talks, crowd reactions, sideline coaching staff activities, post-game on-field award presentations). The highlight film may not include clips of other activities that are only indirectly related to the contests (e.g., team travel, team meals, entertainment activities, practice activities, institutional facilities). (Adopted: 1/11/94 effective 8/1/94; Revised 2/22/01)
13.4.2.2 Videotapes/Audio Tapes/Electronically Produced Information (Nonathletics) Available to All Students
Official academic admissions and student-services videotapes/audio tapes/electronically produced information produced by the institution and available to all students may be provided to prospects.
13.4.2.3 Hall of Fame/Museum Videotape/Audio Tape
A prospect may tour an institution's athletics hall of fame or museum during a recruiting trip and view videotapes/films or listen to audio tapes related to the institution's athletics programs (even if such videotapes/ films/audio tapes do not meet the definition of a highlight film), provided the facility is open to the general public on a year-round basis and the videotape/film/audio tape has been developed for the purpose of showing to the general public (as opposed to the recruitment of prospects). (Adopted: 2/11/98)
