Abstract
The NCAA is currently facing a new set of legal challenges: NBA G League players wanting to return to Division I college basketball. These disputes center around the NCAA's eligibility rules and how they overlap with antitrust and constitutional law that could, again, reshape the NCAA's rules and its time-honored concept of amateurism. As a result, what were once settled NCAA rules and regulations are again the subject of controversy. That has been causing administrative inconsistencies and competitive tensions across college athletics.
