NCAA’s revamped recruiting schedule is a disaster that’s only getting worse

About a month ago, I wrote about how the NCAA implemented some new basketball recruiting rules that would limit June access to some of the best high school basketball players from the most prominent schools in the country.

The reason for these recruiting restrictions was in response to the widespread corruption that has consumed college basketball recruiting. The new rules were put in place with good intentions, but they’re already having negative effects. And it needs to be fixed...now.

Just to refresh you on what exactly the changes were, the NCAA eliminated July’s middle evaluation period and replaced it with two live weekends for high school coaches and their federations to put on tournaments.
