  • Arkansas–Pine Bluff (pending review)
  • FIU
  • Grambling State
  • Mississippi Valley State (pending review)
  • New Orleans
  • Southern (pending review)
• November 4 – The Associated Press preseason All-America team is released. Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart was the only unanimous choice, gaining all 65 votes. He was joined by Doug McDermott of Creighton (63 votes), Louisville guard Russ Smith (52), Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins (42) and Michigan forward Mitch McGary (34).^[2]
• November 12 – Freshmen and transfers are eligible for the preseason Wooden Award watch list for the first time in the trophy's history. Nine freshmen made the 50-member list, including three each from Kentucky (Andrew Harrison, Julius Randle and James Young) and Kansas (Andrew Wiggins, Wayne Selden, Jr. and Joel Embiid). Jabari Parker of Duke, Aaron Gordon of Arizona and Noah Vonleh of Indiana were the other three freshmen named.^[3]
• February 27 – Shortly after the end of Utah Valley's 66–61 home win over New Mexico State in a battle between the WAC co-leaders, NMSU guard K.C. Ross-Miller throws a basketball at Utah Valley's Holton Hunsaker (son of UVU head coach Dick Hunsaker), hitting him in the leg.^[4] The incident triggers a brawl between players and fans who had stormed the court,^[4] with video later showing that at least one NMSU player threw a punch, and another had to be forcibly pulled from the melee by staff.^[5] The next day, the WAC suspends two NMSU players—Ross-Miller for two games and Renaldo Dixon for one—for their involvement in the brawl.^[5] In addition, UVU announces that it was reviewing tapes of the incident to determine whether to take further action against its own students and fans who were involved.^[5]
• March 26 – South Florida, which had reached an agreement in principle with Manhattan coach Steve Masiello to fill that school's head coaching vacancy, rescinds the agreement after it discovers that Masiello lied on his résumé about graduating from the University of Kentucky. A UK spokesperson confirmed that Masiello attended for four years but did not receive a degree.^[6]
• April 7 – Manhattan announces that it will retain Masiello as head coach, contingent on him earning his bachelor's degree from UK. At the time, he was about 10 credit hours short of a degree, and was expected to complete the needed courses during the summer term.^[7] UK announced on May 29 that Masiello had completed the required coursework and would receive his degree in August.^[8]
• April 9 – UMass sophomore guard Derrick Gordon becomes the first active Division I men's college player to come out as gay.^[9]

Conference membership changes

See main article: 2010–2014 NCAA conference realignment.

The 2013–14 season saw the largest wave of membership changes resulting from a major realignment of NCAA Division I conferences. The cycle began in 2010 with the Big Ten and the then-Pac-10 publicly announcing their intentions to expand. The fallout from these conferences' moves later affected a majority of D-I conferences. The most significant developments this season were:

• The original Big East Conference split into football-sponsoring and non-football conferences. The non-football league now operates as the newly chartered Big East Conference, while the football-sponsoring league operates under the old charter as the renamed American Athletic Conference (The American).
• With The American adding four members in 2013 and three more in 2014, all from Conference USA (C-USA), the latter league responded by adding eight members in 2013, plus one more in 2014. Four of the 2013 C-USA arrivals came from the Sun Belt Conference, which itself added three schools in 2013 and two more in 2014.
• The Western Athletic Conference saw near-total replacement of its membership. Only three schools that had been members in the 2012–13 season—Idaho, New Mexico State, and Seattle—remained in the WAC for 2013–14, and Idaho left for the Big Sky Conference after this season. The WAC's attempts to replenish its membership led to the demise of the Great West Conference.

In addition, four schools began the transition up from Division II starting this season. These schools were ineligible for NCAA-sponsored postseason play until completing their D-I transitions in 2017.

The 2013–14 season was also the last for several other teams in their current conferences:

• Four schools would leave the Southern Conference (SoCon). Appalachian State and Georgia Southern left for the Sun Belt, Davidson for the Atlantic 10, and Elon for the CAA.
• Three schools would join the SoCon, with East Tennessee State and Mercer moving from the Atlantic Sun Conference and VMI leaving the Big South Conference. Both ETSU and VMI were former SoCon members, having respectively left the league in 2005 and 2003.
• East Carolina, Tulane, and Tulsa would all leave C-USA for The American.
• As noted above, Idaho would leave the WAC and return its non-football sports to the Big Sky Conference (after an 18-year absence).
• Louisville and Rutgers would spend only one season in The American; they respectively left for the ACC and Big Ten.
• Maryland would leave the ACC for the Big Ten.
• Oral Roberts would leave the Southland to return to its previous conference home of The Summit.
• Western Kentucky would leave the Sun Belt for C-USA.

New arenas

• The Nebraska Cornhuskers left their home since 1976, the on-campus Bob Devaney Sports Center, for the new Pinnacle Bank Arena in downtown Lincoln. The Cornhuskers played their first game in the arena on November 8 against the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles.
• The Towson Tigers also left a venue that they had occupied since 1976, the Towson Center. Unlike Nebraska, Towson is staying on campus in the new Tiger Arena.
• The four Division I newcomers all used existing on-campus venues:
  • Abilene Christian – Moody Coliseum
  • Grand Canyon – Grand Canyon University Arena
  • Incarnate Word – McDermott Convocation Center
  • UMass Lowell – The River Hawks' main basketball venue is Costello Athletic Center. Another on-campus venue, the Tsongas Center, normally home to the school's ice hockey team, is available for games requiring a larger capacity.

Major rule changes

• Expanded the use of video review as follows:
  • Shot-clock violations and who caused the ball to go out-of-bounds in the final 2:00 of regulation or overtime.
  • Determine if a field goal is worth two points or three in the final 4:00 of regulation or in the entire overtime period. Any other such review must wait until the next media time-out (16:00, 12:00 and 8:00 as well as the final 4:00 of the first half).
• Change the block/charge rule to not permit a defender from sliding in front of an offensive player at the last second to draw a charge. The defender must be in position when the offensive player begins his upward flight with the ball.
• Increasing emphasis on hand-checking or extended arms on defense.
• Permit the use of video review to determine if an elbow delivered above the shoulders of an opponent warrants a flagrant-1 or -2 foul (as was previously the case), a player control foul, or no call.

Coaching changes

A number of teams changed coaches during and after the season.

Auburn	Tony Barbee		Bruce Pearl	Barbee was fired after going 48–75 overall and 18–50 in the SEC in four seasons.^[107] Auburn replaced him with ESPN analyst Pearl, who enjoyed major success as a head coach at Milwaukee and Tennessee before being fired in 2011 for lying to the NCAA about the recruitment of future Ohio State star Aaron Craft. When he was hired, Pearl was under a show-cause penalty that expired in August 2014.^[108]
Boston College	Steve Donahue		Jim Christian	Donahue was fired after posting an 8–24 record, his third straight losing season at BC.^[109]
Bowling Green	Louis Orr		Chris Jans	Orr was fired after posting 13–19 and 12–20 records in the last two seasons, finishing with a 101–121 record after seven seasons.^[110] Wichita State assistant Jans was hired as his replacement.^[111]
California	Mike Montgomery		Cuonzo Martin	Montgomery announced his retirement after six seasons at Cal.

Central Arkansas	Corliss Williamson	Clarence Finley	Russ Pennell
College of Charleston	Doug Wojcik		Earl Grant	Wojcik was fired on August 5, 2014 after allegations of verbal abuse towards players surfaced^[113]
Coppin State	Fang Mitchell		Michael Grant

Hawaii	Gib Arnold	Benjy Taylor		Arnold was fired mere weeks before the 2014–15 season following an NCAA investigation that also saw the dismissal of assistant Brandyn Akana.^[115]
Houston	James Dickey		Kelvin Sampson	Dickey resigned after four seasons and a 64–62 overall record, citing family reasons.^[116] The Cougars hired Houston Rockets assistant Sampson, who returns to the college ranks after serving a five-year show-cause penalty for making impermissible cell phone calls to recruits during his previous two college jobs at Oklahoma and Indiana.^[117]
IPFW	Tony Jasick		Jon Coffman

Marshall	Tom Herrion		Dan D'Antoni	Herrion, who had coached at Marshall for four seasons, was bought out of the final two years of his contract. Marshall, which finished the season at 11–22, lost its top seven scorers from last season, notably DeAndre Kane, who transferred to Iowa State and became an All-Big 12 first-team selection.^[126] Marshall hired former NBA assistant D'Antoni, older brother of former Marshall great and then-current Los Angeles Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni.^[127]
Maryland Eastern Shore	Frankie Allen		Bobby Collins
Missouri	Frank Haith		Kim Anderson	Haith left Missouri for the Tulsa job.^[128]
Montana	Wayne Tinkle		Travis DeCuire	Tinkle left for the Oregon State job.^[129] Montana hired former Cal assistant DeCuire, a former Montana player who had been publicly endorsed by retiring Cal head coach Mike Montgomery as his successor before Cuonzo Martin was hired from Tennessee.^[130]
Montana State	Brad Huse		Brian Fish	^[131]
North Dakota State	Saul Phillips		David Richman	Phillips left to take the Ohio job.^[132]
Ohio	Jim Christian		Saul Phillips	Christian left to take the Boston College job.^[133]

Samford	Bennie Seltzer		Scott Padgett	Seltzer was fired after two seasons, finishing with a 24–31 overall record.

Southeastern Louisiana	Jim Yarbrough		Jay Ladner
South Florida	Stan Heath		Orlando Antigua	Heath was fired two seasons into a six-year contract he signed after he led USF to the 2012 NCAA tournament.

Southern Miss	Donnie Tyndall		Doc Sadler	Tyndall left to take the Tennessee job.^[143]

Virginia Tech	James Johnson		Buzz Williams	align=left	After a 9–22 season, Johnson was fired at the end of his second season as head coach. Johnson was unable to keep two key players in the program—Dorian Finney-Smith transferred to Florida immediately after Johnson was elevated from assistant, and Montrezl Harrell, who had originally committed to Tech, instead went to Louisville.^[149]
Wake Forest	Jeff Bzdelik		Danny Manning	Bzdelik resigned after four seasons with records of 51–76 overall and 17–51 in ACC play. Like Ben Braun at Rice and Bennie Seltzer at Samford, Bzdelik was plagued by player transfers, with eight players transferring out during his tenure. Students responded by "rolling" trees in the campus quad with toilet paper, a Wake Forest tradition after big wins.^[150]
Washington State	Ken Bone		Ernie Kent	align=left	After five years and an 80–86 record, Bone was fired with two years left on his contract; Washington State will pay him the remaining balance of his contract. Bone's final season saw the Cougars go 10–21 overall and 3–15 in the Pac-12 .^[151]
