NCAAs New Rules: Potential Block on International Players Could Shake Up College Sports The NCAA is considering a move that could significantly impact college basketball and potentially other sports. The new guidance suggests that international players who have been paid by professional leagues or circuits may be ineligible, which could block top talent from joining college teams. This rule change could affect programs like Kentuckys mens and womens teams, which were counting on international stars like Ousmane N’Diaye and Ajša Sivka. The enforcement of this rule is still unclear, but it has the potential to cause lawsuits and shake up college sports as a whole.
