The Division I recruiting calender continued to shift, as the DI Council announced that the recruiting dead period is extended through January 1, 2021. 

In-person recruiting is allowed for all Division II, III and NAIA programs, with Division II ending its dead period on September 1.

“While the Council acknowledged and appreciates the growing desire to resume in-person recruiting by select coaches’ associations, Council members ultimately concluded the primary concern right now must be protecting the current student-athletes on our campuses,” Council chair M. Grace Calhoun, athletics director at Pennsylvania, said in a press release. “We encourage our coaches to interact with prospective student-athletes virtually in this time period.”
