What type of benefits can an institution provide to a high school coach?

Institutions may provide certain permissible benefits to high school coaches, and one of the key permissible benefits is offering two complimentary admissions to home contests. This practice facilitates a relationship between the college program and the high school coach, allowing them to support their athletes while fostering engagement with the recruiting process. It also serves as an acknowledgment of the coach's role in the development of prospective student-athletes.

Additionally, this type of benefit supports the established guidelines that ensure fairness and adherence to NCAA regulations, while building connections between coaches and programs in a manner that remains compliant with recruitment policies. Other benefits mentioned, such as travel expenses for transporting prospective student-athletes or complimentary season passes to events, may not align as directly with the NCAA regulations governing the interactions between institutions and high school coaches. Thus, the provision of complimentary admissions specifically addresses the need to engage high school coaches within allowable rules.
