New NCAA recruiting and NBA Draft rule changes approved

The FBI scandal in college basketball has brought about real rule changes, as officially put forth by the NCAA that include coach permission for recruiting events, player representation and more.

Here’s a rundown of the rule changes.

A prospect is allowed up to 15 visits

Prospects are now going to be allowed five visits between Aug. 1 and the end of their junior year, five visits between the end of their junior year and Oct. 15 after graduation, and five visits between that October date and their remaining college eligibility.

A student can now only visit a school once per year, and can’t take an unofficial visit until his sophomore year of high school.
