    Another ruling in the NCAA's favor

    http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/01/sp...=top-news&_r=0


    The N.C.A.A. may restrict colleges from compensating athletes beyond the cost of attendance, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled on Wednesday in an apparent victory for the college sports establishment as it fights back efforts to expand athletes’ rights.

    As college football — and, to a lesser extent, men’s basketball — have generated millions of dollars in revenue through TV broadcast deals and merchandise sales, some athletes have lobbied for greater financial compensation. The appeals court bluntly said that limiting compensation to the cost of attendance was legally sufficient.

    The ruling upheld a federal judge’s finding last year that the N.C.A.A. “is not above antitrust laws” and that its rules have been too restrictive in maintaining amateurism. But the panel threw out the judge’s proposal that the N.C.A.A. allow colleges to pay athletes $5,000 per year in deferred compensation.
