US EditionGreen Bay Seeking NCAA Waiver that Would Allow It to Play in The Basketball Tournament
- Green Bay has requested permission from the NCAA for its men's basketball squad to participate in The Basketball Tournament this summer.
- The request follows a similar waiver filed last year that was denied too late for appeal, highlighting NCAA rules limiting college teams to one overseas exhibition every four years.
- The Basketball Tournament features former college and professional players competing for a $1 million winner-take-all prize, with teams often representing their alma maters like last year’s champion, Carmen's Crew of Ohio State alumni.
- The athletic director at Green Bay emphasized that the goal of the request is to increase playing opportunities for the team, noting that any potential prize money won could be donated to charity and criticizing the current regulations as outdated.
- If approved, this waiver could allow Green Bay to gain competitive experience in a financially feasible way similar to NCAA foreign tours, supported by TBT organizers and Horizon League commissioner Julie Roe Lach.
