NCAA eligibility rules are under fire in a new lawsuit filed by 11 Division I athletes, including Isaiah Jones, who was denied a fifth year of play despite still being in school and pursuing a master’s degree. The NCAA’s new five-year rule excludes athletes who’ve already played four years, even if they’re still enrolled and could benefit from Name, Image, and Likeness opportunities. The athletes argue this is unfair and inconsistent — if five years is the goal, why punish those who’d still qualify? This case echoes past landmark rulings like Ed O’Bannon’s, which reshaped college sports’ power dynamics, and now challenges the NCAA’s authority to enforce rules that may undermine student-athletes’ academic and career goals.
