What happens to the student visas for Bosnian basketball player Dusan Neskovic, his three other foreign-born Dartmouth teammates, and thousands of other international NCAA athletes if they are deemed employees? “It is going to be a disaster,” said Ksenia Maiorova, Partner at Green and Spiegel. U.S. Practice Director, Jonathan Grode, adds, “If you are remaking them as employees, there is not a lot of optionality available for foreign athletes. It creates a challenging juxtaposition, and this is already playing out within the NIL scenario with no resolution.”
