Conference membership changes

[edit]

The 2012–13 season saw the second wave of membership changes resulting from a major realignment of NCAA Division I conferences. The cycle began in 2010 with the Big Ten and the then-Pac-10 publicly announcing their intentions to expand. The fallout from these conferences' moves later affected a majority of D-I conferences.

In addition, one school moved from Division II starting this season. This school was ineligible for NCAA-sponsored postseason play until completing its D-I transition in 2016. Finally, one school that had announced a transition to Division II, New Orleans, announced that it would halt its transition and remain in Division I.

Major rule changes

[edit]

Beginning in 2012–13, the following rules changes were implemented:

  • College coaches are allowed to practice with players a maximum two hours per week during the Summer (May–August) as long as the student-athletes were enrolled in classes.[30]
  • Coaches could work their teams for a maximum of two hours a week beginning September 15 until official practice begins on October 13.[31]
  • There is now unlimited contact, including text messaging, allowed between college coaches and a prospective player in high school and junior college recruiting.[32]

Conference winners and tournaments

[edit]

Thirty-one conference seasons concluded with a single-elimination tournament. The teams in each conference that won their regular-season titles were given the number one seed in their respective conference tournaments. Conference tournament winners received an automatic bid to the 2013 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament except for the winner of the Great West Conference tournament, although its champion received an automatic bid to the 2013 CollegeInsider.com Tournament. The Ivy League was the only NCAA Division I conference that did not hold a conference tournament, instead sending its regular-season champion to the NCAA tournament.

Siena Mitch Buonaguro Jimmy Patsos According to ESPN.com, "Buonaguro went 35-59 in three seasons with the Saints, never finishing a season with a winning record or in the top half of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The three-year slide immediately followed the most successful three-year run in school history. Siena won MAAC titles in 2008, 2009 and 2010 -- all under coach Fran McCaffery, with Buonaguro his top assistant."[128]

UCLA Ben Howland Steve Alford According to the Orange County Register, "...the perfect storm of attendance, reputation, and very little NCAA tournament success was enough to doom Howland after 10 seasons."[132]
