Bright and early Wednesday morning — as early as 5 a.m. on the West Coast — The Commission on College Basketball met in Indianapolis to unveil its recommended fixes for the ailing sport that is college basketball.

Included among them were ways to address the one-and-done issue, agents, involvement from apparel companies, AAU basketball and both stronger penalties and stronger reinforcement of such penalties for those who violate NCAA rules.

In a 25-minute presentation, commission spokesperson Condoleeza Rice shared in great detail the findings the group of 12 people, 9 men and 3 women, came up with during the past six months, after extensive talks, discussions and investigation into what exactly the issues are that have compromised college basketball.
