BREAKING: High Court Says NCAA Can't Limit Athlete Education Pay

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday affirmed a ruling that struck down NCAA rules restricting education-related compensation and benefits for college athletes, finding that the organization should not get special treatment under antitrust law.

Super conferences that contain athletes earning the "big dollars"?

I think the compensation has to tie back to some component of being a student. Like meals, paying for books, tutoring, etc. I'm sure there are loopholes big enough to drive a semi-truck through, though.

I don't think so, I think the ruling is that the NCAA can not limit or regulate compensation for athletes [likeness and otherwise] by saying they come under our purview simply because they are students... if i understand this correctly. Maybe i am way off base but that is how it sounds...

I wonder if this means that i can now buy a championship by pay to play importing players in my little league baseball team...

The decision allows schools to provide their athletes with unlimited compensation as long as it is some way connected to their education.
