The NCAA has allowed two former G League players college eligibility over the last month. First, it was former G League player Thierry Darlan, who committed to Santa Clara and was ruled immediately eligible. On Tuesday, it was London Johnson, who committed to Louisville, and was also ruled immediately eligible.
These are new waters for the NCAA in the age of NIL and revenue sharing, where amateurism lines are blurred. The governing body has now taken the stance that G League players who have not played college basketball can retain their eligibility if they want to go back to school.
