The NCAA has approved a waiver that will allow men's and women's basketball programs to pay for unlimited official recruiting visits to help teams deal with roster depletion caused by transfers, according to a memo obtained Thursday by The Associated Press.
The Athletic first reported the approval of a blanket waiver by the men's and women's basketball oversight committees.
Currently, men's basketball programs are allowed 28 official visits over a rolling two-year period. The number for women's programs is 24.
The waiver will cover a two-year period, starting Aug. 1, 2023, and run through July 31, 2025. The NCAA Division I Council in June will consider proposed legislation that would lift the limit on official visits in men's and women's basketball permanently.
