BIG EAST Releases Recommendations to College Basketball Commission

NEW YORK -- The BIG EAST Conference today released a series of recommendations aimed at reforming the recruiting process in men’s college basketball and restructuring the pathway for elite men’s basketball players in the United States. The recommendations are in response to the charge issued by the NCAA to the Commission on College Basketball in October 2017 and the request by the NCAA for feedback on the charge from its membership.

“The journey of men’s basketball players as they move from youth basketball, to high school and/or travel teams, to college basketball, and then to the pros is ripe for overhaul,” said BIG EAST Commissioner Val Ackerman.
