The broad-based success of UCLA Athletics continues because of the support of loyal alumni such as Wooden Athletic Fund donors and other friends of our program. Your support is also important in our continuing effort to maintain compliance with NCAA rules. As donors, the NCAA has defined you as a “representative of UCLA’s athletic interests” (commonly known as a booster) and you are bound by NCAA rules and ultimately, UCLA Athletics is held responsible for your actions. As a new monthly feature of the Inside UCLA Athletics Development, we will provide you with “key rules you need to know” and important reminders to help you keep NCAA rules compliance in mind while continuing your enthusiasm and dedication to UCLA Athletics.

Please Leave Recruiting to the CoachesWith the anticipation and excitement of the February 5 signing day on Bruin fans’ minds, please remember that recruitment of prospective student-athletes is the sole responsibility of the UCLA coaching staff, and boosters may not be involved in the recruiting process. NCAA rules forbid booster contact with the prospect or anyone associated with the prospect in an effort to persuade them to attend UCLA. No face to face contact, phone calls, emails, texts or tweets can be made with a recruiting purpose. Also, you cannot provide prospects with anything of value (cash, loans, gifts, services, etc.) that might be considered an inducement to persuade them to enroll at UCLA.

If you have any questions regarding NCAA recruiting rules or any other compliance matter, please contact Dan Goldberg, Assistant Athletic Director Compliance at (310) 794-8813 or dgoldberg@athletics.ucla.edu.
