U.S. Supreme Court rejects NCAA defense of athlete compensation limits

SRN News

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ruled against the National Collegiate Athletic Association in its bid to maintain limits on education-related compensation for student-athletes that critics say help maintain the fiction of amateurism in college sports.

The court ruled 9-0 that the NCAA’s curbs on non-cash payments to college athletes related to education – including benefits such as computers, science equipment and musical instruments – are anticompetitive under a federal law called the Sherman Antitrust Act. The NCAA is the major governing body for U.S. intercollegiate sports. more

  1. No other decision would even be contemplated. Because the athletes are black. Can you see kav or Barret ruling against the black athlete? Not a chance. It would have been racis of them and they would have been pro slavery if they ruled for the colleges.
    Even though the athletes have a good case, it still all came down to republican appointed judges rather dying than rule against the anti-racis mob.

  2. This may entice some college athletes to stay in college for four years rather than one year and on to the pros if getting an education was their goal in the first place. As LeBron has already shown, no college is necessary to be a political idiot in the NBA.
