There's a good chance that Connolly is wrong. Saying 'I believe it's new' indicates that he probably didn't research it. Use Google AI and put in 'did the ncaa change the injury waiver requirements for 2025-26 basketball to include the 30% rule like football'. The answer is no. I've seen in several places where it was discussed and that the coaches want it but it hasn't been approved yet. The core rule of injury before midseason and season ending remains. The key date looks to be Mar. 7th against St. Johns. Any play after that and it can't be done.This is interesting. I didn’t know the NCAA had changed the rules.

Yeah, people like to be the first to claim something before even knowing if it's right. BTW, I screwed up the midseason date with St. Johns. I meant Jan. 7th.Yes, Connolly is wrong.
