While the Supreme Court ruled Monday that the NCAA cannot limit student athletes educational benefits, its affect on the Big Ten and Ohio State sports remains up in the air.
The Supreme Court decision potentially opens a handful of financial doors for college athletes. Educational benefits that are now possible include graduate school scholarships, paid internships and even computer equipment given to students. It would also include the possibility to remove limits on disability insurance, which allows students who suffer career-ending injuries to earn guaranteed income.
However, while the court ruled that the NCAA cannot limit educational benefits, the decision states that individual conferences can still do so.

Standing alongside Ohio State University Athletic Director Gene Smith, Sen. Niraj Antani (R-Miamisburg) says it’s only fair that athletes at Ohio’s universities be able to receive compensation for use of their name, image and likeness. He says 16 states have such legislation, including Michigan.
“Michigan has name, image and likeness for their student athletes. I think the athletic director would agree for me that we cannot let Michigan win at anything, Antani says.
The bill says a student must inform their college or university 15 days before they enter a contract to receive compensation. Smith says that will give the college an opportunity to review it and educate the student about potential problems.
