Can a multi-sport prospective student-athlete take multiple official visits to the same institution?

A multi-sport prospective student-athlete is only allowed to take one official visit to each institution, regardless of how many sports they are being recruited for. This regulation ensures that the recruitment process is fair and manageable for both the prospective student-athlete and the institutions.

Having only one official visit per school allows the prospective student-athlete to focus their recruitment on evaluating the institution and its programs more thoroughly, without the potential for favoritism or confusion arising from multiple visits. This rule is in place to promote balance in how institutions interact with recruits and to support the prospective student-athletes in making informed decisions about where they would like to attend and compete.

In contrast, options suggesting that they could take multiple visits, whether to the same school or under different sport contexts, misunderstand the NCAA regulations concerning official visits and the intention behind them. The intent is to streamline the recruiting process and ensure that student-athletes can weigh their options thoughtfully, given the competitive nature of college athletics.
