Haven't seen anything official yet, but if it is true, it would not be limited to only basketball but all sports across the board.

The @NCAA Division I Council has approved a measure to turn all volunteer positions in baseball and softball (and in all sports) into a full-time coaching position without recruiting constraints. Volunteers will officially become full-time coaches on July 1, 2023.

What are volunteer positions? Student managers and such?

If so, would this rule change limit how much they're able to work with the players since the coaching staff has a limit?

Took TCU +6.5 @ Texas. Instantly don't feel great about it. It was plus money though man and I'm a sucker.

My guess is smashing bad teams early on

This is probably a big part. Back when Kenpoms blog was free and frequent he used to complain about this a lot. At times he played around with different caps on margin of victory, but he ultimately decided it didn’t make the predictability better and discarded it.    
 

The bad teams are not compatible enough to give a good statistical reading for the better teams even when accounting for 30 pt win margins.

Creighton up 4 at Xavier with 8 min to go

Marquette up 4 on UConn with 8 min to go 

Bama up 1 at Arkansas with 14 min to go. All high level games.    

[Uspshoosier 45,608]

Baylor/West Virginia tied as well with 10 min to go

Houston only up 1 at half against South Florida 

[Uspshoosier 45,608]

6-0 run for UConn to cut it to 3 and then Marquette buries a 3.

Both those teams playing hard 

[Uspshoosier 45,608]

Marquette and Xavier with big home wins 

Bama with some big time shots up 8 with 3:40 to go 

these teams have  bench players that would start on every B1G team

Bama/Ark and UT/TCU just look like they’re playing with a different level of athletes than most Big Ten teams.
