During which type of visit may a prospective student-athlete not attend an event where current or former student-athletes are trying out with professional teams?

The correct understanding is that during an official visit, a prospective student-athlete is subject to specific NCAA regulations concerning interactions with current or former student-athletes. This includes prohibitions that prevent them from attending events where these athletes are trying out with professional teams. This regulation is in place to ensure that prospective student-athletes are not influenced by potential professional aspirations during their visit, allowing them to focus on collegiate opportunities and the academic environment provided by the institution.

Unofficial visits, on the other hand, do not have the same restrictions imposed by the NCAA, meaning a prospective student-athlete could attend such an event if they choose to. Therefore, the assertion that neither type of visit allows for this attendance is incorrect. The regulations concerning official visits are specifically designed to uphold the integrity of the recruiting process and provide a level playing field for all prospective student-athletes.
