restrictions. these rules do make it harder for schools to compete with each other if they're all on the same playing field. and that's why they're assessed under anti-trust rules. but through is a very interesting and i think suggestive concurrence from one of the justices, brett cavanagh. he says yes, i agree this is not about compensation. if there were a subsequent legal challenge the ncaa would have to defend the rules and he said "i don't think they can." the remaining compensation rules, i don't think, can pass muster. the ncaa must apply a legally valid justification for the remaining rules. as i see it they may lack such a justification. in a way it is a small defeat on the specific rule, but bad news
