The story of "Hoop Dreams" was not over even after the film was released. Cable TV channel TNT planned a remake of the story as a fictional movie for television. A book based on transcripts from all of the interviews conducted was published in the spring of 1996. After the release of the film, William went to Marquette University to play basketball, while Arthur went to play at Arkansas State. However, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) advised the boys and their families they could not accept any money generated by the film without forfeiting their amateur status, which would cause them to lose their university scholarships and would make them ineligible to participate in NCAA-sanctioned intercollegiate athletic activities.
