    Post As madness moves through March, SCOTUS considers NCAA case over athlete compensation

    Just days before the March Madness tournament crowns a champion, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in a high-stakes battle between the National Collegiate Athletic Association and a legal class of student-athletes from the top revenue-producing sports of football and men’s and women’s basketball.
    On one level, NCAA v. Alston is a thorny case about which level of antitrust scrutiny to apply to some rather arcane and ever-shifting rules on scholarships and other forms of education aid that colleges may provide to student-athletes.
    On another level, it is potentially consequential to a larger debate that has reverberated from campuses to courtrooms to Congress in recent years about the definition of amateurism in intercollegiate sports and whether athletes deserve more compensation.

    Sounds like a good idea to me.
    One can be sure that he who says he knows knows nothing

    The main argument I've heard is that the university is using a particular players likeness in advertising without compensating them. Then stop using a certain player's likeness and just make the likeness one of an unnamed player.

    Then they'd probably complain that it lessens their worth as a professional prospect.
