In short, NCAA can't bar modest payments to student-athletes - ruled against NCAA's current caps on gifts and benefits.I'm not motivated to read through that and makes sense of it. What's the nuts and bolts of the ruling??
And any time the NCAA loses, it's good. It makes me wonder what purpose it serves nowadays and if it'll be around much longer. It organizes a basketball tournament. That's about it.
9-0 Violates Anti-Trust rules. Ouch. Not close.In short, NCAA can't bar modest payments to student-athletes - ruled against NCAA's current caps on gifts and benefits.
Gorsuch's treatment of teh Ncaa's argument that sports ultimately serve the education mission is an amusing read.This might wind up being the most important ruling in the history of collegiate athletics; we could see a complete overhaul of the structure of collegiate athletics itself as a result.

Maybe it didn’t have to end this way for the NCAA ?

Ms. Excellence's budget balancing exercise just got more complicated. Shortly, we'll here how her staff is busy studying the ramifications and that a policy will be forthcoming soon afterf they unveil how they plan to manage NIL.
I can't speak for the rest of you but I could have used more enhanced academic tutoring.Enhanced Academic Tutoring

Kavanaugh: “Nowhere else in America can a business get away with agreeing not to pay their workers a fair market rate on the theory that their product is defined by not paying their workers a fair market rate.”
I agree with you. It'll be interesting to see which schools say uncle and step away from the arms race.A lot of schools lose money on football. Seems to me that a lot of schools will de-emphasize football but I’m probably looking at this incorrectly. Like to see the opinions of the board on likely outcomes.
I should point out that, as I understand it, Kavanaugh’s concurring opinion is not related to the question of the current lawsuit but is something whose impact is yet to be seen.Kavanaugh: “Nowhere else in America can a business get away with agreeing not to pay their workers a fair market rate on the theory that their product is defined by not paying their workers a fair market rate.”
“This argument is circular and unpersuasive.”
Getting a new car, reams of cash and a hot babe are the corner stones of American values. I for one am proud that SCOTUS has opened the floodgates so that more of our 6’ 3”, 240lb running a 4.5 40 youth may be able to realize their dream. Good Lord Almighty their free at last.The court said the NCAA violated antitrust laws when it limited the amount students could receive for musical instruments, scientific equipment, postgraduate scholarships, tutoring, academic awards and paid internships.
Here are a few examples of the musical instruments and scientific equipment soon to be seen in Columbus, Tuscaloosa, Clemson etc....
Musical Instrument (it comes equipped with a stereo that plays music)
Scientific Equipment (You can't do science without funding)

If this goes where I believe it might go, this will be the end of college athletics as we know it. It might take 5-10 years, but ultimately we will be dealing with a GIANT mess of title 9, non revenue sports, massive departures from Division 1 from non power 5s and even some in power 5.This might wind up being the most important ruling in the history of collegiate athletics; we could see a complete overhaul of the structure of collegiate athletics itself as a result.
This is going to be fascinating, the term “educational benefits” might end up being as effectively enforced and well monitored as was “all due deliberate speed” in Brown vs The Board of Education. And Kavanaugh pretty much asked for someone to bring them a case regarding the direct payment (salaries) to college scholarship athletes.
Flood wasn't an amateur. That was more about free agency.Kavanaugh's concurrence is Curt Flood redux, only more powerful.
The P5 conferences are in too deep IMO. They have to make their $500 million stadiums and arenas pay for themselves.20 years from now, will almost all college athletics be club sports ?

That is where I see it going. Ultimately what's going to happen, is all the booster and donor resources that once were mildly spread around, will be diverted to signing basketball and football players. There will be no room to prop up non revenue sports, schools that cannot afford to be involved in the arms race will be so out matched they won't be able to play in the same leagues.20 years from now, will almost all college athletics be club sports ?
I wouldn’t know how to respond to that. I suspect we’ll see quite a bit on this issue in coming days.It seems to me that fair market rate and Title IX are in direct contradiction.
The exact same people who are screaming about paying the kids, are the same people losing their minds that the NCAA tournament doesn't treat men and women with the same perks.I wouldn’t know how to respond to that. I suspect we’ll see quite a bit on this issue in coming days.
It was that a franchise didn't own your "rights" after the contract expired. SI's cover said, "Not Just a Flood by a Deluge".Flood wasn't an amateur. That was more about free agency.
