But there's a bigger bully named SCOTUS in this case.

We'd need Tom Cruise to deliver his speech to the NCAA leadership: "I think you should prepare for the fact that we're going to lose....We're going to lose, and we're going to lose HUGE."

It will happen when there's a free market for athletic talent. The Big Ten and the Pac Ten made sense when the labor was free, but now those incoming freshmen are going to be looking at millions. The best of them tens of millions.

40 schools can afford that. Nobody can afford to play them. No athlete is going to waste his time in a class and he doesn't have to. Notre Dame and USC and Michigan and the entire SEC will become de jure professional franchises rather than the de facto they have been for the last 50 years.

It actually may happen with the factory hockey programs, too. The academics was always a joke.

So we go back to the 50's and 60's then. The only real difference from then would be there are scholarship limits now that didn't exist then- so teams could snatch up players and prevent them from going to other schools.

My mom used to tell me that there were football players that had the job of painting a white fence back in the day to get cash.... And I'm sure it was just like Tom Sawyer, where it was an honor for someone else to actually do their work.

BTW, the way the B1G works, one of the larger contributions come from an even spread of TV contracts. So I would bet that from top to bottom, the B1G will be better off than the SEC. Bama, LSU, Florida, and a few other schools may do well, but as a whole, I wonder if the unbalanced TV contracts will suck. Same goes for the Big12 (where UT gets most of the money).

It will be interesting, for sure. But seeing how much money there is for just tuition money for the workers, yea, that sucks. Sucks bad.

For hockey, though, I wonder how the Major Jr's are seeing this.... There are some big programs that can easily out pay the Jrs.

Oh god, in a day of good (schools can't regulate off campus speech, cops can't enter home w/o warrant in all misdemeanor cases) the Cedar case is a major blow to unions and worse, possibly health and regulatory inspections. Just an absolutely toxic ruling.

From the little I know, Roberts et al. basically rewrote and reinterpreted decades of law, and did a shoddy job doing it. 6-3 is a bad place to be. Thanks Obama.

Obama? Lol. What was he supposed to do?

tell that to RBG and the Democratic Party circa 2010 and 2016.

of all the people to blame, he's about 100th on the list of Democrats.

It makes sense. That's the one that destroys the leverage of workers and gives the Plutes more power.

Roberts doesn't care about the social dog whistles of the racists or the handmaid stupidity of the Thumpers. He only cares about serving his masters.

Yeah. The rich definitely got richer on this one. I wish my favorite poster would come back and explain how this ruling makes sense.
 
Because we don’t have a lawyer/legal thread really, and I’m genuinely curious, I’ll ask this here:

Re: USWNT lawsuit, how often are summary judgments overturned on appeal?

Appeals for review of grants of motions for summary judgment occur in 13 to 17 percent of eligible cases. Summary judgments are reversed on appeal at a rate that closely approximates the overall rate of reversal for all civil appeals.

Having interviewed hundreds of candidates over the years, if that was the cover letter of a qualified candidate I would absolutely hire them. I can work with that person.

Good rule of thumb. If someone can hire you, they can fire you. Don't blow smoke up their ass.
