What is the maximum number of expense-paid visits a multi-sport prospective student-athlete can make?

The correct answer is that a multi-sport prospective student-athlete can make a maximum of five expense-paid visits. This guideline is in place to provide student-athletes the opportunity to explore multiple sports within the NCAA framework while ensuring that they can evaluate their options thoroughly and fairly. Each of these visits allows the athlete to gain insights about different programs, coaching styles, and campus environments, which is essential for making an informed decision about where to continue their athletic and academic careers.

This rule reflects the NCAA's commitment to supporting the holistic development of student-athletes by facilitating a comprehensive recruitment experience across multiple institutions and sports. Additionally, this regulation helps maintain parity among institutions, allowing prospective student-athletes the same consideration whether they are considering one or more sports during the recruiting process.
