2025 PSAL College Exposure Team Camp Top Performers

By David Cordova,

In 2017, Condoleezza Rice chaired the NCAA’s Commission on College Basketball to address issues of corruption and reform in the sport. The commission’s report, released in 2018, focused on issues like the “one-and-done” rule, agent oversight, and the influence of apparel companies. The commission’s recommendations aimed to create a more transparent and ethical environment in college basketball.  One of the outcomes of that investigation was that the NCAA followed the recommendation to reduce the Live Period dates for money-focused AAU events and replace them with dates for events hosted by the more player-first focus of high school sports associations. We now know those as the Scholastic Live Periods that run on the last two weekends of June each year.

 

On Sunday afternoon, June 22, we got ourselves to the Major Owens Center out in Crown Heights, Brooklyn for the third annual Public School Athletic League (PSAL) Team Camp. This is the PSAL’s Scholastic Showcase. They brought in 30 teams from New York City’s public schools to compete in front of college coaches from all levels.
