Re: Recruiting?
From the OHSAA bylaws ... some light reading for you.
Section 9. Recruiting
4-9-1 A student is considered a prospective athlete after enrolling in the seventh grade, or the grade corresponding to the seventh grade for a student from a foreign country. Any attempt to recruit a prospective student-athlete for athletic purposes shall be strictly prohibited.
4-9-2 For purposes of this Bylaw Section 9, the term “recruit†shall mean the use of influence by any person connected or not connected with the school to secure the transfer of a prospective student-athlete.
4-9-3 All member high schools are permitted to mass market their entire high school program and all of its elements for the purpose of informing and recruiting students.
• Recruiting a select athletic group or individual, i.e. eighth grade team or individual sports participants, is a violation.
• Coaches initiating contact with prospective student-athletes, who are not presently enrolled in the school’s educational program, or their parents, prior to written acceptance notification (which cannot occur prior to January 2), is a violation.
• Note: For the purposes of this section of Bylaw 4, the description of “coaches†as stated in Bylaws 6-1-1 and 6-1-2 shall be applicable.
4-9-4 Prior to enrollment, a student-athlete may visit a public or non-public school in contemplation of transfer, as long as that contemplated transfer is consistent with Board of
Education or similar governing board policy formally adopted by that school district and arrangements for the visit are made through the principal and/or school administrator designated by the Board of Education or similar governing board.
4-9-5 All questions relating to enrollment, attendance or the athletic program shall be handled through the school administration or the admissions office. High school coaches may answer athletic questions from prospective student-athletes and/or their parents and describe their programs only within the school in accordance with approved administrative policies and procedures (i.e. via admissions offices).
4-9-6 Member schools shall not distribute athletic ublications or advertise solely for athletics. All athletic materials must be accompanied by general school information, prior to student registration. Athletic camp brochures that advertise athletic camps that are available to a general population are permitted.
4-9-7 Invitations and/or free admission to high school contests or invitations to athletic-related recognition ceremonies/banquets, etc., are permitted provided that the invitation or admission is extended to the entire group or team and is mutually agreed upon by the administrations of both schools/organizations. Additional favors or nducements, such as T-shirts or caps, cannot be given to prospective student-athletes or their parents.
4-9-8 Providing financial aid or scholarships to a student on the basis of athletic ability is prohibited.
4-9-9 All member school coaches approved by the Board of Education or other governing board and student-athletes, when invited, may speak at elementary/middle schools, as well as to youth organizations, provided the talk focuses on educational values and coaching techniques and is not used to recruit student-athletes.
4-9-10 Any violation of the recruiting prohibitions as set forth in this Bylaw shall cause the recruited student-athlete to be ineligible upon transfer. Furthermore, the school to which
the recruited student-athlete transfers or the school the recruiting attempts were intended to benefit shall be subject to sanctions as set forth in Bylaw 12.

Re: Recruiting?
According to this, every school in the state should be on probation for "recruiting."

Re: Recruiting?
Tell me about it.
How many times have kids from neighboring schools tried to get another kid to transfer? Or a cousin trying to get a cousin to switch. Happens all the time.

And then there's this in the same section ...
• Recruiting a select athletic group or individual, i.e. eighth grade team or individual sports participants, is a violation.
• Coaches initiating contact with prospective student-athletes, who are not presently enrolled in the school’s educational program, or their parents, prior to written acceptance notification (which cannot occur prior to January 2), is a violation.

Schools that used to offer a cow can now only offer a goat or two.

Does this mean that, theoretically, a person could buy
tv or radio ad space that says..."Hey if you go to another school and play sports go to ?HS" and as long as it doesn't target a certain individual or team that would NOT be considered recruiting? I think a rich person should by some billboards and get every athlete within 2 hours to come to CHS. lol
