The [NCAA] confirmed that, in sports other than
basketball, it is not permissible for Stanford staff
members to use a service or software that converts
electronic mail (e.g., email) sent by a Stanford staff

quotation by a recruiting or scouting service about a
prospective student-athlete in a media release regarding
the prospective student-athlete’s commitment,
provided there is no indication that Stanford endorses
the recruiting or scouting service and the prospective
student-athlete has signed a National Letter of Intent
(NLI). It is not permissible for gostanford.com to include
a hyperlink to either the website of a noninstitutional
publication that reports primarily on the institution’s
