A federal judge ruled Friday that the NCAA's limits on what major college football and men's basketball players can receive for playing sports "unreasonably restrain trade" in violation of antitrust laws.

U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken, in a 99-page ruling in favor of a group of plaintiffs led by former UCLA basketball player Ed O'Bannon, issued an injunction that will prevent the NCAA the "from enforcing any rules or bylaws that would prohibit its member schools and conferences from offering their FBS football or Division I basketball recruits a limited share of the revenues generated from the use of their names, images, and likenesses in addition to a full grant-in-aid."



:whoo:

dude in this thread saying only black athletes like all athletes of all races are not exploited by these college.
but that what folks on here do

but anyway, reading SBNation reports from the court the NCAA was doing a terrible job of defending itself.
good the athletes getting paid.
it wont change much actually
