I don't see the NCAA winning any of their upcoming cases honestly. With the NCAA losing the ability to do anything based on labor restriction law - I'm thinking the chaos has just started. Thoughts?

The NCAA needs to be done away with. Or at least have an alternative league to compete with it so it stays in check.

Can they not put a limit on how much an athlete can make and still participate in the NCAA? They used to have a rule stating that an amateur athlete couldn’t make any money, I find it hard to believe that they can’t put a cap on the amount made before being ruled ineligible.

They could but essentially would have to make them employees at that point. If you are “contract”. You can get what someone would pay for your name image and likeness. Is how I see it legally but I’m definitely not a lawyer.

The NCAA got what they deserved because they kept kicking the can down the road and not taking on the situation many years ago. They rendered themselves feckless.

College football as it is will die a slow death. This may be inevitable, but 6 and 7 figure semi-pro paychecks are going to dwindle to only a very few programs and the rest will just find other priorities.

In theory I agree with you, but wouldn't making their case years ago still have ended up in a Supreme Court ruling against them? The 9-0 verdict could have happened in the past 30 years I feel like. The practice of employing student athletes but denying them the ability to earn while profiting off them has very few comparisons you'd want to make.

Scholarship is payment. For their services. How many of the student athletes would attend top Universities would qualify academically to get into AU?
College football, College sports, college students have always benefited for their degrees, exposure, and other benefits granted to them.
I disagree with paying amateur players period. If they want to keep some NIL right ok. Can’t deny someone making money legally but should be against the rules that anyone booster, fan, NIL group associated with the university would be an impermissible benefit. If Honda wants to sign a player at Bumfuct University then great. Have at it.

It's already dead.
The courts finally just signaled to the NCAA that they have no power. We are one step closer towards a union of football players or professional athletes at the college level

Exactly. The courts neutered the NCAA, without some sort of miracle I think they are done. Collective bargaining in the near future?

They will lose every one.
The sole reason NIL exist in the first place is for the athlete to be able to maximize his value by playing college athletics.
The courts will almost always side with the athlete. You are not allowed to tell them that 50K is too much or what the right amount is because it could never apply to everyone.

Probably have the schools get together and agree to bring NIL in house, set a salary cap, and call that a day.
It wont be 4 or 5 teams. Remember the NFL when it started, Halas was helping bankroll some of the teams just to keep them alive. He said the public would lose interest in Chicago playing New York 8 times a season.

What you can't do is have a bunch of schools collude to set a cap on player incomes. It's been addressed in other related rulings where a judge compared it to a bunch of restaurants capping chef salaries because "it makes the food taste better".
