PBA study group to recommend changes to certain league rules 6hLeonard Solms The PBA will soon receive some recommendations from a study group that was created to review some of the most contentious provisions in the league's by-laws. In a statement obtained by ESPN5.com through Commissioner Willie Marcial on Monday, the league said the group will present its findings to the Board of Governors sometime this week. The report includes analysis on policies covering expired and live contracts, leave of absence and rookie eligibility, among others. "The study group has taken several issues and recommendations will be submitted to the Board in the next few days. There are just a few issues that need to be threshed out before finalizing the report," the statement read.
