The NCAA is asking the Supreme Court to freeze a lower court ruling that allows colleges to compensate athletes for educated-related expenses
A panel of judges on the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled earlier this year that the NCAA violated federal antitrust law when barring some expenditures. The ruling is set to go into effect on August 11.The case is the latest dispute between those who believe that schools should be able to decide for themselves how to compensate their athletes against the NCAA, which says such efforts could blur the line between college and professional sports.
But the NCAA says its rules are necessary to maintain the tradition of amateurism in college sports. It plans to ask the Supreme Court to take up the case next term worrying that it will be difficult for the courts to limit the schools' spending."Each year, nearly half a million student-athletes play two dozen sports on nearly 20,000 teams at about 1,100 NCAA member schools and 100 member conferences in three divisions across the country," lawyer Seth Waxman argued in court papers.
