SCOTUS and the NCAA

[themanintheseersuckersuit]

Then NCAA loses an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. It is not that sexy, but the NCAA bigwigs will be losing sleep. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/2 ... 2_gfbh.pdf

Finally, the court’s injunction preserves considerable leeway for the NCAA, while individual conferences remain free to impose what-ever rules they choose.

News reports kept talking about six states that will allow student-athletes to profit off sponsorships effective July 1. Does the above statement mean that the Supreme Court has approved it?

Why would a star go to a school in a state where they couldn't profit? Does this mean the end of college sports as we know it?

Does this mean the end of college sports as we know it?

I think it means the NCAA finally has to get off its ass and acknowledge that college sports is not the same as amateur sports.

I love the puddle the Court dipped its toe in, saying that anything education-related, like laptops, is allowed. Great first step. The next steps will be up to the NCAA.

From Joe Pompliano on Twitter:

Estimates suggest Reggie Bush would make between $4 million to $6 million annually with the new NIL rules.

Yet the NCAA took away his Heisman Trophy because he accepted $300k under the table while USC made millions of dollars off his success.

It's time to return him the trophy

Georgia Tech receiver Demaryius Thomas was ruled ineligible by the NCAA after the fact for having received $312 in clothing in 2009 from a former Tech player who was working as a sports agent at the time. Tech had to forfeit its ACC title game win against Clemson that year (the title is officially vacant) and was eventually placed on four years probation and fined $100,000 by the NCAA. Thomas was drafted in the first round that year by the Denver Broncos and recently retired from pro football.
