Overview
- Teams must submit availability updates the night before each game and again two hours before tipoff, with reports published publicly.
- Players are presumed available unless listed as questionable or out on the official report.
- HD Intelligence will serve as the NCAA’s service provider to manage the availability reporting system.
- Schools that fail to comply or report accurately may face penalties set by the men’s and women’s basketball committees.
- The NCAA will evaluate the 2026 rollout to determine whether to continue this approach for future Division I tournaments and other championships.
