As of August 1, 2006, the NCAA Rules committee passed Bylaw 13.1.8.9.4 stating:
A Division I member institution or conference may not host, sponsor or conduct a tryout camp, clinic, group workout or combine (e.g., combination of athletics skill tests or activities) devoted to agility, flexibility, speed and strength tests for prospective student-athletes at any location. In sports other than football, a member institution's staff members may only attend such an event sponsored by an outside organization if the event occurs off the institution's campus and is open to all institutions. (NCAA Bylaw 13.1.8.9.4.) (Adopted: 1/10/92, Revised: 1/9/06 effective 8/1/06).
This means that no representative of any Division I Football program may attend a tryout camp, clinic, group workout, or combine. More information regarding this bylaw can be found at: www.NCAA.org. This bylaw does not affect Division II, III, and NAIA schools.
The student-athlete's combine results will be posted on the EFC website approximately 2 weeks after event. College Coaches will be notified, via email. PLEASE NOTE: All participants must notify EFC within 10 days of the combine if they wish to have any scores scratched from their record.
