Athletes Challenge NCAA’s New Eligibility Rules | Boston College Basketball News

Former Boston College basketball star Aidan Shaw and 10 other student-athletes are suing the NCAA, arguing that new age-based eligibility rules unfairly deny them a fifth year of competition — a chance they say is crucial for playing, learning, and cashing in on Name, Image, and Likeness deals. The NCAA’s new model, effective for athletes starting in 2027 or later, gives five years of eligibility, but doesn’t grandfather in those who already completed four years before the change — leaving them with less time to compete, grow, and profit. The athletes aren’t asking for preferential treatment — just equal access to the same opportunity the NCAA now says is fair for future athletes.
