NEW DECEMBER SIGNING PERIOD FOR FOOTBALL
Bruin fans everywhere are energized with the hiring of Chip Kelly as our new head football coach. Due to a brand new football early signing period, Coach Kelly’s focus immediately turns to recruiting. For the first time, high school seniors can sign a National Letter of Intent (“NLI”) during a three-day period, starting December 20, 2017 at 7am (prospect’s local time) and ending on December 22, 2017 at 11:59pm. JC transfers intending to enroll at UCLA in fall 2018 as well as early high school graduates also can sign during this time. JC transfers planning to enroll midyear have a separate NLI signing period from December 20 through January 15. The regular football signing day remains in place (February 7) for those high school prospects who don’t sign an NLI during these three days in December.
As UCLA supporters, please remember that recruitment of prospective student- athletes is the sole responsibility of the UCLA coaching sta�, 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 e�ort to persuade them to attend UCLA. No face to face contact, phone calls, emails, texts, tweets or other social media postings 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.
For questions on the above or any other NCAA rule, please contact Dan Goldberg, Assistant Athletic Director Compliance at [email protected] or (310) 794-8813.
