| Beginning in the summer, coaches from the major conferences began discussing a potential protest of the evaluation period, with each conference making a decision on its own. |

Sources told ESPN the average price of a packet at women's recruiting events is nearly $600 per school per event, with an additional fee if a second coach from that staff arrives later.

| McGraw said the primary reason for the discussion is the recruiting calendar itself. There are two evaluation periods in April, plus an event held in the host city of the women's Final Four. Then there are two seven-day evaluation periods in July, plus the three days in November. On the men's side, there are two periods in April plus three in July, and zero during the fall and winter. |
