I have no clue about college recruiting procedures, but it seems like fall basketball gives Michigan girls and advantage for recruiting. I would think that college coaches could vist more games in the fall than in the winter during their own season.

Do any of you know if this is a valid point and who is pushing for the change, is it the girls basketball coaches and players, or is the pressure coming from elsewhere.

I think part of the problem is the girls season comes before the d2/d1 coaches are allowed to visit schools, or it might be the problem is the season comes before the coaches are ready to start traveling. Anyway as I recall the original lawsuit was because some parents living in Michigan thought their little Suzie was at a recruiting disadvantage due to when the girls season took place.
