Apparently, PETA has been on the NCAA's rear to stop the use of leather balls for basketball games - does anyone know if this is just an administrative decision (i.e., tournament time only) or if it is a prohibition in the playing rules (i.e., no leather balls at any time during the season).
From what I've read/heard, this only applies to regular season games/tournaments. All those preseason conference tournaments and such can use the "old" stlye balls, but come regular season, this is going to be an inforced "rule."
