Football, men’s basketball and women’s oversight committees as well as the SAAC (Student-Athlete Advisory Committee) all support an extension. The current dead period which restricts DI institutes from recruiting off-campus, hosting recruits on-campus, or working camps, was set to expire on April 15. Division II and III are not restricted by this dead period and had all restrictions lifted last year.
