NCAA approves blanket waiver for unlimited official visits in basketball

(Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports)

The NCAA has reportedly moved to allow schools an unlimited number of official visits in men’s and women’s basketball.

The Athletic’s Nicole Auerbach reported on the change Thursday morning, with the new waiver going into effect immediately. The waiver must still go to the Division I Council for adoption in June.

The move has been a requested change by college coaches across the country, as a remedy to the impacts of the transfer portal. Because the transfer portal encourages more moves, players have the need to take more visits.

Previously, though, schools could only host so many and once they were out of visits they had to stop officially hosting prospects. This new rule will alleviate that.

On3 will have more on this developing story shortly.
