On March 13, the NCAA's Division I Council Coordination Committee announced that there would be a temporary recruiting Dead Period in all sports until at least April 15. That means no on-campus and off-campus in-person contact with recruits, but coaches can still have phone calls and electronic communication with recruits.

The NCAA Division II Administrative Committee quickly followed suit, implementing a dead period in all sports until April 15. As in Division I, coaches will still be permitted to communicate with prospects electronically.
