Bringing in celebrities to help recruit

[huskypantz]

Apparently Xavier brings Bill Murray to meet some of their recruits. Are there any rules/restrictions around having big donors and/or celebrities fraternize with recruits?

And when do we send out Moby?

Patrick Ewing provided a good opportunity recently for everyone to become aware of these rules

Only institutional staff members are permitted to recruit student-athletes,” reads the pertinent N.C.A.A. rule. “Generally, N.C.A.A. rules prohibit anyone else from contacting (calling, writing or in-person contacts) prospects or the prospect’s relatives or guardian for recruiting purposes.”

So hookers aren't okay? Unless they are on staff?

Oh, wait. That could be taken several ways.

If they're not on your staff, they're hookers. If they are on your staff, they're hostesses.

Take your pick.

This list is pretty out of date but a lot of notables in there. I had no idea Judi Collins was an alum.
