In a 9-0 decision SCOUTS upheld a lower court ruling against the NCAA barring them from limiting certain financial benefits from athletes. Going a step further, Kavanuagh ripped them in a concurring opinion pointing out they are not above the law and no other business in the country is so bold as to think they can conspire to depress wages by saying their business is built on depressing wages. Kavanaugh points out other items not even covered in this case could also be in violation of Anti-Trust laws in a direct show across the bow of the NCAA.
In a time where no one can agree on anything, we have everyone agreeing that the NCAA sucks.

NEW: In a victory for college athletes, SCOTUS unanimously invalidates a portion of the NCAA's "amateurism" rules. The court says the NCAA can no longer bar colleges from providing athletes with education-related benefits such as free laptops or paid post-graduate internships.
