NCAA requires player-availability reports for 2026 March Madness
The NCAA will require teams in the 2026 Division I men’s and women’s basketball tournaments to submit player-availability reports, the association said. Teams must file them the night before each game and again two hours before tip-off; the reports will be public, and basketball committees may penalise schools for non-compliance or inaccurate information.
The reporting rules add disclosure requirements for tournament teams and allow penalties for inaccurate or missing submissions.
