re: Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Former Athletes in Dispute with NCAA

As I read it, the ruling does not mean that schools have to pay athletes.

It doesn't. It has to do with the NCAA not allowing schools to cover education related expenses beyond just tuition, room & board, meal plan, etc. However, the SCOTUS typically isn't in the business of waxing poetic about a topic in an opinion just for the sake of doing it. Kavanaugh is essentially asking for a lawsuit to have athletes declared employees and universities declared employers.
