Commissioners recommend eliminating July hoops recruiting

The Conference Commissioners Association voted 31-0 at their fall meeting last month in Chicago to recommend eliminating July men's basketball recruiting beginning in 2012 to the Division I NCAA Board of Directors, sources with direct knowledge of the meeting told ESPN.com.

According to another source, the Division I board will meet on Oct. 28 and has a number of options: accept the recommendation and implement it immediately or delay the implementation; introduce new legislation and send it through the normal governance structure; direct a study of options or do not act on the recommendation.
