Not sure how likely this is too happen, but if the Big Ten was the only conference to adopt this I would assume it would hurt their basketball recruiting fairly significantly. I don't know if there would be much of a trickle down effect to the HL, but if a few of the power conferences mentioned in the article adopted it there could be an advantage for some "mid-major" conferences that don't adopt it.
