NCAA now allows summer instruction in college basketball

Starting this summer, the NCAA will now allow college basketball coaches to work with their players for up to two (2) hours per week. Of course there are academic requirements for the players participating, but if they are on campus, enrolled in summer school and working with the coaches, the hope is, graduation rates will improve.

How the time now allowed with players is used, is up to the individual choice of the coach. The biggest worry about this new rule is that player may "burn out". However, that is probably doubtful, as serious players have been attending camps and working with personal trainers in the off-season anyway.

What is needed now, is the funds to bring the players to campus for summer school. Another reason to step up Catamount fans, and join or upgrade your membership in the Catamount Club.
