With the NCAA out of the picture, it’ll be up to each conference to set its own rules about education-related compensation. Competition, in other words.
The NCAA is going to appeal, which means it’s taking the position that college athletes should be denied this opportunity. Nice optics, guys.

No way SPOTUS grants cert. There is no “compelling reason” nor “an important federal question” (S.Ct. Rule 10). The Court gets over 7,000 cert petitions a year, grants about 80. This won’t be one of them.

I like the “pay for attendance at a vocational school” part.
“Son, come play for State U and when you’re done, we’ll show you how to be an owner-operator of your own Big Rig!”
“But coach, won’t I have a degree from State U?”
“hahahahahahah….”
