AAU IS QUIETLY UNDER ATTACK 

PT. II 

 ALL-MET ELITE

For those who believe it is a conspiracy theory without facts when told AAU is quietly under attack below you will find recent verified quotes from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver & NCAA President Mark Emmert organized to help you connect the dots.

1. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver "I think something has to change," Silver said. "It’s clearly not working for the college game … From our standpoint, if the players in that one year of college aren’t getting the kind of development we like to see them get coming into the NBA, aren’t playing in the NCAA Tournament, aren’t competing against top-notch competition, I think we have to take a step back and figure out if we’re better off taking those players at a younger age and working on their training and development full-time."

2. Adam Silver "So we've had some meetings with the Players Association where we've shared data on success rates of young players coming into the league. We've talked a lot about youth development in terms of whether we should be getting involved in some of these young players even earlier than when they come into college"

3. Adam Silver “And from a league standpoint, on one hand, we think we have a better draft when we’ve had an opportunity to see these young players play an elite level before they come into the NBA"

4. Adam Silver - acknowledged that NCAA officials had set up their Commission on College Basketball — led by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice — and league officials have had “discussions” with members of that group. NCAA President Mark Emmert confirmed those talks to the Herald-Leader and others at the NCAA Convention last month and said the Commission’s report on proposals for changes in college basketball is expected in April.

5. NCAA President Mark Emmert "said the Commission — led by former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice — is meeting, in person, about once a month, in addition to regular teleconferences. He said they’ve already met with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and NBA players’association head Michele Roberts about what the relationship should be between the NCAA and professional basketball. Emmert said the Commission has also brought in agents and leaders from apparel companies. Youth basketball leagues — like the ones sponsored by Nike, Adidas and Under Armour, which churn out the top college prospects every year — are also an area of focus for the Commission. “They’re going to be doing the same thing with … grassroots ball,” Emmert said. “What’s that relationship? How’s it helping or hindering?"
