Per WSJ:

The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to consider whether the National Collegiate Athletic Association violated federal antitrust law with its efforts to keep tight limits on compensating college athletes.

The court, in a brief written order, said it would hear the NCAA’s appeal of lower court rulings that found the association unlawfully limited competition for college athletes by adopting a restricted view of the kinds of compensation the athletes could receive related to their education.

Those rulings allowed college athletes to receive an expanded range of education-related benefits, such as laptop computers or musical instruments, study abroad programs, internships and paid-for graduate school. The rulings didn’t lift NCAA limits on athlete compensation unrelated to education.

The Supreme Court is likely to hear arguments in the spring, with a decision expected by the end of June.

This has the potential to be a very big deal.  Could accelerate all the NIL compensation as well as possibly aid in the long talked about football-breakaway.
