NCAA Officially Bans Temporary Court Stickers

The NCAA rules oversight committee on Tuesday approved a rule mandating that all logos be painted on the surface of basketball courts in an effort to eradicate injury risk linked to temporary stickers used during conference tournaments and neutral-site games.

The issue gained traction late last year after players slipped on court stickers in separate incidents. "The playing court must be completely finished in a manner that is consistent throughout," the committee said in a statement, as reported by The Sporting News.

Not only will the playing surface be impacted, but out-of-bounds areas, as well. The ban extends three feet beyond each sideline and six feet behind the baselines.
