Fran Fraschilla, ESPN’s international basketball expert, spoke with Andy Glockner of Sports Illustrated about international youth development in basketball, specifically about how the European youth system ties in (or doesn’t) to the NCAA: Often times, a pro in Croatia is making $500 to $1,000 a month, which I would jokingly say is less than some […]
Dan Kane of the Raleigh News and Observer has a report that a paragraph in one of UNC’s many investigations into its academic fraud scandal was altered, seemingly with the intent of keeping the NCAA from investigating. This portion: Although we may never know for certain, it was our impression from multiple interviews that the […]
Jon Johnston of SB Nation’s Nebraska blog Corn Nation has this well thought-out view of the major trends that might bring major college football to its knees over the next decade or two.

Rep. Charlie Dent’s (R-PA) possible bill to remake NCAA enforcement is unlikely to go anywhere. Not for any legal reasons, the NCAA is not really in a position to fight anything but a clearly unconstitutional bill (more on that in a second).

There are a lot of things the NCAA could do to tweak the July men’s basketball recruiting period. Nonscholastic recruiting generally has been in a flux for years. And that just counts the rules that have actually been passed. Since the men’s basketball recruiting calendar was overhauled in 2004, there has been a constant stream […]
On Friday the NCAA released a lengthy Education Column in the form of a Q&A regarding the new initial eligibility requirements set to arrive in 2016. Softening the requirements (i.e. removing the roughly .500 core course GPA increase to the sliding scale) did not prevent schools from asking questions. All told, the Ed Column includes […]
In January Prime Prep Academy, the charter school started by Deion Sanders, looked to have all its ducks in a row in January when it announced this: We are pleased to announce that Prime Prep Academy has successfully completed all preliminary steps necessary for NCAA membership!

Eli Carter, a guard who transferred from Rutgers to Florida following Mike Rice’s dismissal for verbal and physical abuse of his players, will file for a waiver from the NCAA to play immediately.
