PHOENIX – The Supreme Court ruled Monday that the NCAA’s attempts to limit education-related benefits for athletes violate antitrust law in a unanimous decision that could pave the way for further rulings on athlete compensation.
The ruling means schools can go beyond tuition scholarships to cover cost of attendance, and pay for personal laptops, tutors and even musical instruments or art supplies for classes. Schools will also be able to pay for athletes to study abroad, fund internships after they graduate and pay for postgraduate education.

Just a couple of years later at age 19, he was earning more than $100,000 as one of the youngest certified radar controllers to ever work at the Chicago Air Route Traffic Control Center.
“I discovered EVIT’s aviation program through one of their visits to my high school and decided to give it a shot,” Charlton said. “Little did I know that it was going to be the best decision I ever made and lay the foundation for my aviation career.”
