Led by Condoleezza Rice, N.C.A.A. Calls for Substantial Basketball Reforms

INDIANAPOLIS — An N.C.A.A. commission established last year to respond to federal prosecutors’ charges of widespread bribery and corruption in college basketball proposed several reforms Wednesday that would alter the sport’s texture without challenging the longtime requirement that the players be amateurs, uncompensated beyond a scholarship for their talents and efforts.

The commission calls for an end to college basketball players “one-and-done,” rule, which will need the approval of the N.B.A. It anticipates potential future payments not players for the use of their images. It proposes allowing regulated contact with agents. It would overhaul the sanctions system and summer basketball, possibly getting shoe companies out of the process.
