In the interview, Emmert said he sees major “systematic changes” coming to college basketball this summer.
He started by saying college basketball players should be allowed similar leeway as college baseball and hockey athletes when it comes to dealing with agents.
Clark Kellogg asked Emmert for his opinions on CBB having a different set of rules for players’ relationships with agents than baseball or hockey. Emmert: “It makes perfect sense to me that it ought to be very different than it is now” for CBB.

Emmert says he understands the frustrations of those wanting to see change, and they’re going to make that a point of emphasis going forward.
