The ruling didn't directly take on NIL compensation, only ruled that the NCAA couldn't prevent the schools from providing additional educational benefits as part of their scholarships. For instance laptops.
The road from laptop to lap dance is short and quickly traveled. Anyone here think the latter has no educational value ?

Agree and I posted in another thread I wonder if this decision plus the NIL push is effectively a death knell for NCAA. Without an anti-trust exemption it is all that much easier for a group like the P5 to split off for a single sport.The real big thing here is that the NCAA is subject to anti-trust laws and there’s really no reason why it shouldn’t be.

And I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Carry on.I don't on w for sure but I do know I get up to about $7k in tuition payments before it goes from being a non-taxable benefit and it turns in to taxable income.
GREAT flick...very funny, almost as funny as... Gorsuch: "the NCAA is not above the law".... that line is highsterical.
Federal law is murky on this and always has been.They finally going to start taxing scholarships?
If theyre employees that is taxable income.
you cannot separate the two and claim otherwise
I.R.C. Section 117 excludes scholarships and some related expenses from income, 26 U.S. Code § 117 - Qualified scholarships
“well, akshully-ing” a unanimous slam dunk ruling… only on the boneyard!I've always thought that if you can't have an amateur model, then totally sever it from the school. Let the teams license the schools name, but the model should be totally overhauled.
That being said, I think SCOTUS is way out of its depth on this. I don't know if it's the lack of knowledge about sports that causes these situations, but there is a lot of precedent for understanding an amateur model. Indeed, a couple decades ago, the court ruled against student teachers on exactly similar issues, so when we hear that athletes are taken advantage of as they are in no other institution in America, it is so plainly false.
The one tell in all of this is I never, ever, ever, ever see an analysis of athletic budgets in any of this.
The media never mentions it. It's not within SCOTUS's purview so they don't have to look at it. But the Senators passing these laws, like Murphy who is frankly an embarrassment on this issue, never look at the school's budget to determine who is really being taken for a ride. And it's doubly nauseating that Murphy and Senators like him represent states where support for academics has been slashed, but there's no concern for what goes on in the classroom. Instead, sports are front and center.
Schools have been slashing non revenue sports but that was the tip of the iceberg . I think this is going to destroy non revenue sports and negative impact many African America playersSchools have largely already been slashing non-revenue sports.
That line is actually from Kavanaugh's concurrence, not Gorsuch's opinion.GREAT flick...very funny, almost as funny as... Gorsuch: "the NCAA is not above the law".... that line is highsterical.
Full of ridiculous misstatements easily disproven like "Nowhere else in American society is labor unpaid."“well, akshully-ing” a unanimous slam dunk ruling… only on the boneyard!
