So I can't figure out how to embed the tweets, so I'll just quote Jeremy Crabtree of ESPN:

One of the buzz words from Tuesday's NCAA recruiting seminar is: IAWP. As part of recruiting reform, the NCAA has proposed during a two-year period before a recruit's anticipated enrollment and a two-year period after the recruit's enrollment, an institution shall not employ individuals associated with a prospect (IAWP) in a non-coaching staff position.

A violation of the IAWP rule would result in the associated recruit's permanent ineligibility at the hiring institution. This is the current rule in basketball and hopes to eliminate schools from hiring somebody tied with a recruit to a director of football operations, video coordinator, or analyst job as a favor to encourage the recruit to come to that school.

Gee, who do we know who's made such a practice part of their recruiting efforts in recent years?
