The NCAA Division I Council announced Thursday that the recruiting dead period will be extended through Aug. 31.
“The full Council and the Council Coordination Committee will continue to review the recruiting dead periods on a regular basis. A dead period precludes all in-person recruiting. Phone calls and correspondence can continue to occur,” the NCAA released in a statement.
Division I recruiting has been in a dead period since early March due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The biggest affect this has is on perspective athletes in football and basketball, as they cannot visit campuses or see coaching staffs in-person.
