The ABC Jersey, XYZ Shoes were solid for me today and gave me confidence to go for that game winning 3 today.

If X recruits a guy named Herschel and Dana's sponsors him, you'll probably get a free beer.

The Supreme Court just voted 9-0 against the NCAA. Which should surprise absolutely no one with any sense at all, but is probably a complete shock to the NCAA itself.

It's possible the NIL of most every college player is not worth a whole lot. Unless your name was Zion.
Edit: although I expect every major college player will get a free car at least....he went up late, and I was already up there.

Kavanaugh's concurrence is a pretty good recap about what the opinion did and did not do. On a first read, seems like this will have little impact on the NIL arguments, but will start an arm's race between conferences on "additional benefits" paid out to athletes in connection with education."If our season was based on A-10 awards, there’d be a lot of empty space up in the rafters of the Cintas Center." - Chris Mack

Not exactly the outcome that I was hoping for, but at least the bitching will stop.
Right? No more complaining?
Right?

Assuredly not.
Did you see Kavanaugh's concurring opinion? He closes with this, which basically invites and encourages further challenges to amateurism and how it violates anti-trust laws. Since he opened that door even wider, I believe there will be more challenges to the NCAA in the very near future. I hope the NCAA understands that and sees the need to be proactive about it, but I'm guessing they do not.
I mean, this just seems to me like one hell of a parting shot. It sounds to me like Kavanaugh is basically saying "You guys can take this a lot further if you want to."
To be sure, the NCAA and its member colleges maintain
important traditions that have become part of the fabric of
America—game days in Tuscaloosa and South Bend; the
packed gyms in Storrs and Durham; the women’s and men’s
lacrosse championships on Memorial Day weekend; track
and field meets in Eugene; the spring softball and baseball
World Series in Oklahoma City and Omaha; the list goes
on. But those traditions alone cannot justify the NCAA’s
decision to build a massive money-raising enterprise on the
backs of student athletes who are not fairly compensated.
Nowhere else in America can businesses 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. And under ordinary principles
of antitrust law, it is not evident why college sports should
be any different. The NCAA is not above the law.Last edited by xubrew; 06-21-2021 at 11:15 AM.
