UPDATE:
The NCAA Legislative Council approved Proposal 2013-25-A (making Proposal 2013-25-B moot because all aspects of that proposal are included in A) on January 15, 2014. Men’s ice hockey coaches are now allowed to begin recruiting communication on Jan. 1 of a recruit’s sophomore year and have off-campus contact with a recruit beginning June 15 following the completion of a player’s sophomore year, effective immediately. The new rule is now in a 60 day override period, where NCAA members may override the adoption of legislation. To do this, there needs to be at least 75 active Division I institutions with voting privileges making the request. However, the proposal will likely go through.
