I'm surprised no one has filed a lawsuit challenging NCAA eligibility limits yet

Agreed, and considering both how much the DOJ has inserted itself thus far and how the various institutional players fear litigation, it's probably only a matter of time.

The decades-long failure of the NCAA to take a proactive role in any of this is increasingly painful as they now watch themselves being slowly legislated out of existence.

I'd imagine the only reason no one has tried yet is because the lawyers can't find a client. The number of athletes competing in sports where there's a lot of NIL money being spent who are actually willing to pursue a PhD, MD, JD, MBA, etc. while playing sports is likely very small. And that's probably the route they'd have to go unless the schools got on board with the idea of letting them keep pursuing different undergraduate degrees. Possible, but I'd imagine unlikely.

Listed at 6'9" 210. Also shot 34.4% on 3PA and averaged 3 stocks per game.

Just trying to figure out who the "other option(s)" could be.
