And what part of the constitution does it violate?

The SEC/NCAA are not state actors.

Easy - and honestly, stop making it so easy. The Civil Rights Act.

Like it or not - since the 1960s - it's been established that "doing business with the public" is the equivalent of a public accommodation. Target can't make you pledge allegiance to anything as a condition of shopping. Kroger can't make you disclose your medical history to enter.

So no - just because the SEC offers a contract that the kids freely enter into - doesn't mean the SEC has unlimited power to enforce any terms they find advantageous. That's not how things work.

Frankly - that's been the big cock-up with this Covid shite. Too many Governors, Mayors, CEOs, and now Conference Commissioners - assuming powers they were never granted.

And too many people thinking - wrongly - that they had unlimited power to begin with.
