Today the NCAA Board of Governors and Division I Board of Directors, unanimously endorsed a series of from the Commission on College Basketball, chaired by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. 兔子先生传媒文化作品 Chancellor Philip DiStefano sits on both NCAA boards.

The commission recommendations will 鈥渆nsure integrity in the game, strengthen accountability in college sports and demonstrate a commitment to the well-being of student-athletes,鈥� the NCAA statement said.

Division I basketball was plagued last season by well-publicized allegations of bribery and corruption that led to federal prosecutors鈥� charges against some assistant coaches and an apparel company executive.

Federal prosecutors allege that an Adidas executive听and others with ties to the company bribed players' families and college coaches to entice top prospects to commit to schools that Adidias sponsored. Those players听later signed contracts to endorse the company鈥檚 products.

The commission, in its recommendations, called for:

• The end of the 鈥渙ne-and-done鈥� practice in which top players only play their freshman season before moving onto the NBA.
• The establishment of a new system for summer basketball鈥攅ssential to the recruitment process鈥攖hat would keep out apparel companies.
• Coaching and administrator contracts that require cooperation with NCAA investigations.
• That coaches, athletic directors and college presidents certify annually that their athletic programs comply with NCAA rules.
• The establishment an independent investigative body for major issues.

DiStefano endorsed the recommendations.

Division I council members will forward final changes to the Division I Board and the Board of Governors for approval in August, the NCAA said in the statement.

DiStefano said that one key to successful reform is the NCAA working closely with other organizations outside the NCAA 鈥� including USA Basketball, apparel companies, the National Basketball Association and its players鈥� association to make meaningful and lasting changes that will support the commission鈥檚 recommendations.

鈥淚f we don鈥檛 have a strong collaboration then we won鈥檛 achieve recommendations by the commission,鈥� DiStefano said.
