Yesterday, the Ministry of Education and the General Administration of Sports of China jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Further Improving and Standardizing the Examination and Enrollment of High-Level Sports Teams in Colleges and Universities". This document will have a very significant impact on the future development of campus basketball, and also put forward higher requirements for many sports students!

The file issued this time first raised the threshold for sports students to apply for college. After 2024, only sports students who have won the title of national first-class athlete or above can apply for university. From 2027, in addition to winning the above titles, you still need to win the top eight in the national competition before you can apply. This suddenly reduced the chances of getting a college degree by relying on sports. The second is to improve the admission scores for cultural scores. For 42 "world-class universities to build universities", the cultural scores of sports students need to reach the undergraduate admission line for applying for the exam, and other universities need to reach 80% of undergraduate admission lines. For example, Zou Yang from Tsinghua University was admitted to more than 65% of the second-tier universities in Guangdong in 2018, which is 245 points. According to the new regulations, Zou Yang needs to get 376 points before he can admit it. This requirement has even higher requirements for the cultural performance of sports students.
This is definitely a huge benefit to the development of campus basketball. You should know that according to the previous campus sports system, outstanding players will basically give priority to the two prestigious schools of Tsinghua and Peking University. Therefore, in recent years, Tsinghua and Peking University have monopolized most basketball talents and won the championship in CUBA in turn. This is very unfavorable to the development and growth of campus league basketball!
After this reform, the imaginable scenario is those players with more talented and able to play the main rotation in the first year of high school, and are willing to spend an extra hour every day to train in the third year of high school. Players with average talent will spend an extra hour studying and trying to get into a better school and get a better diploma in their senior year.
You should know that any team has the main substitute, and they are positioned as core, blue-collar, and role players. If the best in the same age group enters famous schools in Tsinghua and Peking University, someone must sacrifice to be blue-collar and role players, and the training is also a single-function type. The new policy can maximize the distribution of 200 players in each session to more teams in five years. This is the opportunity to give more players the exercise.
In the past, campus teams were basically one-way choices. Players signed up for schools without brains. Even if they were sitting on the bench, they could get a good diploma. Prestigious schools had invincible choices. I could ask for all the good seedlings. However, the new policy is a two-way choice, with players dominating. If a player reaches the undergraduate score line and 20 universities invite him, he will first exclude those who rank low in schools, and then choose from several teams with higher rankings. According to the team's lineup configuration, position shortcomings, and the position he plays, that team can allow him to play as the starting main player in his freshman year, he will give priority to that team, so that he can get more playing time and more ball rights.
In fact, the author has always believed that our double first-class universities should do what they should do. Like the United States, although the NCAA does not have unified regulations, top universities such as Ivy League, California Polytechnic and Stanford all cherish their feathers and have not abused their reputation and financial advantages to recruit semi-illiterate NBA seedlings. Even military academies like West Point and Naval Academy that attach great importance to physical education teaching are unwilling to lower academic admission standards without bottom line. In contrast, our Tsinghua University and Peking University rely on the country's top educational resources to dominate CUBA for years, which directly hit other schools' enthusiasm for basketball.
However, the last document also leaves room for some unpopular projects. The document pointed out: "For candidates with outstanding sports majors and special training potential, universities are allowed to explore the establishment of an extraordinary admission mechanism for cultural course scores." This also protects some niche Olympic events, but this does not have much impact on basketball. Unless it reaches the NBA level, it will not open this hole.
