The NCAA has extended the recruiting dead period through August.
“The full Council and the Council Coordination Committee will continue to review the recruiting dead periods on a regular basis,” the NCAA said. “A dead period precludes all in-person recruiting. Phone calls and correspondence can continue to occur.”
ZAGSBLOG first reported last week that the August recruiting period was unlikely. It remains unclear if September periods will happen.
Two periods — Sept. 5-7 (Non-scholastic) and Sept. 19-20 (Scholastic) — have been mentioned and will be voted on in July, sources said.
The decision figures to be a boon for the Live stream industry. College coaches who will not be permitted to be in attendance in July and August can watch Live streams that are available to the public.
