The court is already talking favorably about declaring athletes as employees....

[I]"To put it mildly, the panel regarded the NCAA’s core principle that college athletes shouldn’t be paid as unpersuasive and incongruous, and the judges signaled they view college athletes as employees.

While judges can be hard to predict, the tea leaves suggest the Third Circuit will return the case to Padova, who will oversee discovery. The NCAA would then be faced with a crucial decision: Does it continue to play defense, knowing that an eventual loss—maybe in 2024 or 2025 or later—seems likely, or does it try to cut a deal and radically change its rules to allow for pay?

Things change...and are changing.  if you had said 15 years back that college football players would be earning from 15k to over a a million per year playing college ball, we'd hoot....now we do have that in NIL.

I never thought that Alabama would be a top basketball team.  Nor pay their basketball coach $5 million per year
