The Division I Council met Wednesday to recommend legislative and policy changes to the Division I Board. Many of the recommendations will come from Condoleezza’s Rice Report – a seven month investigation into the issues believed to be corrupting college basketball. One of the central issues in the Rice Report is One-And-Done.
The report characterizes One-And-Done as having, “a significant role in corrupting and destabilizing college basketball, restricting the freedom of choice of players, and undermining the relationship of college basketball to the mission of higher education.”
The Rice Report was released following an FBI Investigation into the “underbelly” of college basketball in which bank records and balance sheets of the sports agency ASM implicating several high profile college basketball players and coaches in NCAA rules violations.
