TVBS News on July 2, 2024, at 9:22 am reported that the Taiwan Pro Basketball Leagues PLG and T1 are merging and will hold a joint draft. However, the new league's organizing committee has announced the elimination of the foreign student system, barring foreign students from participating in the draft. Eight foreign students issued a joint statement criticizing the decision as 'brutal and rough,' urging the league to address the working rights of foreign students. Concerns are raised about standout foreign student player Mobaye from Senegal, who may now be unable to participate in the draft. The decision aims to enhance local players' abilities and Taiwan's basketball performance by ceasing foreign student involvement effective this season. Discussions on foreign students' working rights continue amid ongoing attention from various parties.
