The guy is on a roll. The SCOTUS ruled against the NCAA in how it handles college players.
Since the dawn of collegient sports, colleges have made tons of money on the backs of the student athletes. We're talking billions of dollars here.
Student athletes have had enough. A small group sued the NCAA for licensing their names and making money on it. From jerseys to video games and beyond, students were forbidden any kind of compensation.
They weren't allowed so much as a hat.
Well, that's all over now. Although justice Gorsuch delivered the opinion, this is the definitive statement right here:
"Nowhere else in America can businesses get away with agreeing not to pay their workers a fair market rate on the theory that their product is defined by not paying their workers a fair market rate." - Justice Brett Kavanagh
And he's right.
