RTC’s rules changing?

Q&A from NCAA:

NCAA Proposal No. 2019-50 Recruiting -- Tryout Exceptions -- State, Regional, National or International Training Programs -- Remove Wrestling.

Question No. 1:
May an institution's wrestling coach continue to coach his or her current student-athletes in competition organized and administered by USA Wrestling (e.g., USA Wrestling Junior Nationals, Olympic Wrestling Team Trials) if such competition includes prospective student-athletes?
Answer: Yes.

Question No. 2: Would it be permissible for an institution's coach to be named the USA Wrestling National Team coach if the team included prospective student-athletes?
Answer: No.

Question No. 3: During the academic year (including vacation periods), may an institution's wrestling coach be involved with a local sports club that includes current student-athletes? Answer: No. An institution's wrestling coach may only be involved with a local sports club that includes current student-athletes during the summer.

Question No. 4: May an institution's coach be involved with a local sports club that includes incoming student-athletes who live outside the 50-mile radius during the summer prior to initial full-time enrollment?
Answer: Yes, if the individuals no longer meet the definition of a prospective student-athlete.
 
It’s a terrible proposal. Do RTC’s provide a recruiting advantage? Yes…they probably do, but guess what…NiL can just take it’s place and there would be no other benefit to the sport like an RTC provides.
