The NCAA Does Not Deserve an Antitrust Exemption
After several delays, a judge finally approved a multi-billion-dollar antitrust settlement between the National Collegiate Athletic Association, its power conferences, and current and former college athletes this month. Under its terms, schools and universities can pay players directly starting July 1, with a salary cap of $20.5 million per institution. It's a major victory in the long struggle to ensure that they are compensated fairly.
If the NCAA and the power conferences have their way, it'll be the last.
