How many permissible recruiting opportunities has a coach used if they evaluate a prospective student-athlete two times and made two in-person contacts?

In NCAA recruiting, coaches have a set number of permissible recruiting opportunities that include evaluations and contacts made with prospective student-athletes. Each evaluation counts as one opportunity, and each in-person contact also counts as an additional opportunity.

In this scenario, the coach has evaluated the prospective student-athlete two times, which accounts for two permissible recruiting opportunities. Additionally, the coach made two in-person contacts, adding two more opportunities. Therefore, when you add the two evaluations and the two in-person contacts together, the total comes to four permissible recruiting opportunities utilized.

Considering the answer options, the calculation of four opportunities matches the understanding of how evaluations and contacts are counted in NCAA compliance. This highlights the importance of accurately tracking both evaluations and contacts, as they each contribute to the overall count of permissible recruiting interactions a coach can have with a prospective student-athlete.
