Point of order. I object to this line of questioning.
You realize I got an A in Con Law with Professor Swan, right?
The Alston case turns on antitrust laws, not the US Constitution.
Also, please note that the commerce clause DELEGATES the power to regulate interstate commerce to the US Congress. Again, there is a difference between powers and rights which originate in the Constitution and the laws that are passed by Congress. They are just different things.
The Supreme Court interpreting a US law is just that. It's not related to "constitutional" or "unconstitutional".
Call me a tinfoil hat guy but I think when we ran amok with Ruiz leading the charge from the outset the NCAA tried to shut us down. When they saw that we were legitimately the only ****ers doing it anywhere near close to how it was intended to be done they didn't know what to do. So, they said **** it and let NIL become pay for play outright without any attempt to enforce restrictions or protocols. Specifically the ones that were meant to eliminate the Universities involvement with the compensation.Well, they'll strike down the rule as a violation of antitrust laws. I don't think the Constitution has ever opined on minimum or maximum earnings.
The real problem that many posters are having is that "NIL" (as we currently know it) includes...a lot more than...the initials "N" and "I" and "L" would suggest.
