NCAA Rules Shake International Recruiting

The NCAA just dropped a major rule change that could shake up college basketball’s international recruiting scene—players who received pay above their actual expenses while playing overseas may lose eligibility. Teams like Penn State, which brought in four international players—three of whom played professionally—are now scrambling to navigate the new guidelines. Coach Mike Rhoades says they’re working closely with the NCAA’s eligibility center, but specifics remain under wraps. Leagues like France’s LNB Elite and Spain’s Liga ACB are flagged as potential red flags, with players like Roko Prkačin facing uncertainty. While some recruits, like Andy Gemao, seem safer, the NCAA’s case-by-case review means every international player’s future is now up in the air.
