re: The NCAA lost in the highest court in the land

Whine all you want about the portal and NIL but it was never fair or even logical that the NCAA could require a student athlete to sit out a year if he or she transferred. What was the reason for such a rule? It certainly wasn’t in the best interest of the athlete…..it’s purpose of course was because it was in the best interest of the schools and coaches. How was it ever fair a coach could prevent a student athlete from transferring to certain schools (ex: a rival school)….this is a free country and the fact that was actually allowed to happen is nuts.

It was also never fair that a scholarship athlete would be prevented from earning whatever the market might pay them, while every other student, even those on academic scholarships, could earn unlimited amounts of money.

The SCOTUS did not rule on the transfer portal, nor did it rule on requiring an athlete to sit, and it did not even rule on NIL. The only ruling to come out of was telling the NCAA they could not limit education related expenses.
