Before a prospective student-athlete commits to the institution, may they receive a photograph taken during the official visit?

A prospective student-athlete is allowed to receive a photograph taken during their official visit before making a commitment to the institution. This practice ensures that the institution can share visual representations of the campus experience, facilities, and community with the recruit. Providing such photographs is an acceptable part of the recruiting process and can assist the athlete in making an informed decision regarding their potential future with the institution.

The rules and guidelines set forth by the NCAA allow for this type of engagement in order to foster transparency and support the decision-making process for student-athletes. Thus, receiving a photograph taken during the official visit aligns with promoting a positive recruitment experience that is beneficial for both the prospective athlete and the college program seeking to attract talent.
