WSU Selected to Host NCAA College Basketball Academy

Wichita State University has been selected to serve as one of four hosts for the second annual NCAA College Basketball Academies, the NCAA announced Friday.

The event takes place July 20-26, 2020. WSU will be joined by the University of Connecticut, which served as one of the hosts at the inaugural event two months ago, the University of Utah and Winthrop University as the sites for 2020.

Created as a result of recommendations made by the Commission on College Basketball, the College Basketball Academies are intended to give prospective student-athletes a glimpse into the college basketball experience while allowing college coaches from across the country to evaluate players from the high school classes of 2021, 2022 and 2023.
