Dear Johnnie alumni, fans and friends:
NCAA compliance is a top priority for Johnnie Athletics. Our administrators, coaches, and staff work to teach our student-athletes to compete hard and play within the rules. These same high standards also apply to our staff. There are many NCAA rules that we must be familiar with, but there are also some rules that apply to our alumni, fans, and friends. Please take a moment to review the following information as some of these rules might be unfamiliar. If you would like more information please visit the NCAA website.
We appreciate all your support and assistance in helping SJU maintain its competitive edge in athletics; however, when you are uncertain about NCAA compliance, please ask.
Go Johnnies!

Prospective Student-Athletes
A prospective student-athlete is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade. In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution provides such an individual (or the individual’s relatives or friends) any financial assistance or other benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students generally.
