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.

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. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/9419050/expansion-replay-review-rule-changes-ncaa-hoops Expansion of Replay Review among changes for NCAA hoops June 25, 2013 ESPN June 25, 2013 Season outlook Pre-season polls 2013–14 NCAA Division I men's basketball rankings The top 25 from the AP and USA Today Coaches Polls.
