Between 2004 and 2015, there was a competing competition known as Chinese University Basketball Super League (CUBS).[1] CUBS allowed professional athletes to participate; restrictions were introduced in 2013.[1] The two competitions merged for the 2015–16 season.[2] As of 2015, CUBA was an amateur-based competition.[1] The competition strived to emulate the NCAA in the United States.[1]
Unlike other Chinese athletic organizations, CUBA is a privately funded organization with no affiliation with the Chinese government. However they do fall under standard FIBA regulations and rules.[citation needed]
