The NCAA Division I Council has passed a rule this week that could have a long term impact on college football recruiting in the future.
On Thursday, the council announced effective July 1, a prospect will no longer be limited to how many official visits they can take to NCAA schools. Under the old rule, a recruit could only make five total official visits. Prospects are still limited to one official visit per school, however, unless there is a head coaching change at a school after they’ve already taken their official visit. That rule doesn’t apply to men’s basketball prospects, though, as they can take two official visits to the same school as long as they occur in separate academic years.
