Basketball England to Update Terms of Professional League Operating License

By Sam Neter on February 23, 2015

The Basketball England licence review committee has announced they will be updating the key terms of the professional league operating license.

The statement read as follows:

The Committee have considered the current professional league licence and decided that the terms required significant updating. The Committee therefore have concluded that its first priority should be to develop a series of recommendations to Basketball England on the key components of any licence that Basketball England offers for the operation of a professional league. The Committee will rely on Basketball England’s sports legal advisers for support with this work.

The Committee will produce initial recommendations on the key terms of the new licence by Wednesday 11 March.

The Committee would be very interested in hearing the views of members of the basketball community and any others with a serious interest in the future of the professional league about the contents of the new licence and its key terms. To this end, individuals and corporate entities with ideas which they believe the Committee should consider are invited to send these to the Committee via Andy Korman ([email protected]) or Nick White ([email protected]) of Couchmans LLP by no later than Monday 2 March.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
