MM 4.16: The NCAA announces end to recruiting dead period

When the COVID-19 pandemic began to dramatically change the way things were done in 2020, college athletic recruiting also drastically changed with a perpetual dead period instated and the pause of in-person visits.

Those restrictions will soon be lifted as the NCAA announced Thursday that recruiting practices will be able to return to normal starting on June 1.

Back in March 2020, the NCAA’s Division I Council released a statement about the status of in-person recruiting trips for potential players and banned all in-person recruiting trips for coaches.

The committee also advised against any type of recruiting visits to campuses.
