NIL Retroactive Lawsuit Against NCAA [House vs. NCAA]

The SCOTUS never amateur players could be employees of the universities or colleges, and the NLRB knows that fact... This is why the SCOTUS needs to reconsider the Chevron deference all together. These agencies are out of hand and need to be reined in.

Can the SEC and the other 3 major conferences fire the NCAA for dereliction of duty? Or for misrepresentation of some sort?

 

Final nail in the coffin for me.

 

Title IX was the biggest issue. So I am curious how the court will settle that obstacle.

 

They most likely won't....so we'll get to get back on the litigation merry-go-round in the near future.

The biggest problem with this deal is that the players are still getting told what they are getting. Yes, its a helluva lot more than free tuition, a dorm room and 3 hots, but they are still being dictated to. I can see continuous litigation until a player's association (labor union) is formed and a revenue sharing deal is negotiated, so another set of lawyers can get rich on the back of fans who love (loved?) and paid for college athletics.

 

What happens if the non power 5 conferences don't go along with this deal?

 

Isn’t this a court ruling? Not sure they have a choice.

 

So, the NCAA has the final laugh when we all thought it would be the power 4 conferences...

I will be checking out of college football for good if they make these players employees.

 

They weren't named as defendents, so I'm not sure how a judge could rule against them. They could voluntarily agree to participate in a settlement. Of course if they chose to not take part in the settlement, they would be the next legal target.

 

The chevron defense applies to government agencies, which the ncaa is not. The NLRB is an agency but the nlrb did not get us here. It was the and every court that laughed the ncaa out of court rooms. The current situation is not a function of nlrb decisions but court rulings on clear law that the ncaa violated. This change has virtually nothing to do with any nlrb opinions, and everything to do with the ncaa being at risk of losing billions because they were greedy.

 

Not surprised the ncaa is looking to settle per my post above. Played a losing legal hand trying to fool fans with “amateur” BS while they made hundreds of millions. Now it is just a shit show of greed.

 

The NLRB is driving this NCAA collegiate employee BS... wake up man... THEY ARE AN AGENCY.

The SCOTUS never made amateur athletes profession athletes and employees of universities and colleges. They said that these amateur collegiate athletes can make money on their Name, Image and Likeness. This is AGENCY OVERREACH.

The NCAA nor the NLRB can just make all amateur athletes legal professional athletes. They cannot write sweeping new laws...

These clowns think they have the right to change amateur athletics on college campuses by fiat? And that they have the right to turn them into professional, paid by their respective universities, athletes?

This is far from over, IMHO.

 

For those that don't follow this stuff, the NCAA takes most of the money it collects each year for media rights to march madness and other NCAA championships and sends checks to each school and conference. Some of the money in future years used to pay off this settlement will be withheld from those payments. So the conferences won't really get to choose (under this arrangement).

 

Exactly. The problem is whatever formula they come up with to determine how much settlement money each athlete gets probably won't reflect this, i.e. athletes who weren't star football players will get over-valued. But its still a big !@#$ to the smaller conferences to make them pay the majority of this settlement.

 

Are you talking chromosomes and trans athletes here ?

So what's the path forward? Clearly these players will be professionals. Can a professional sport can continue to be a part of a University? If not, does this break away at some point to become a NFL developmental league? Eventually then, do college sports start over as a purely amateur sport?

 

Anyone that tries to give you a clean answer to any of that is FOS, lol. I don’t believe anyone truly knows what we’ll have when the dust settles. One thing we do know, is the next few years are probably going to be an even bigger mess than the last few.

 

It will end up looking like most other pro leagues because the new organization and rules will be generated by law firms who are experienced with professional sports leagues.
