Supreme Court Ruling that NCAA Violates Anti-trust Laws- Jordyn Chapman

Summary: In this article, the supreme court let an opinion stand that said the NCAA's rules that required that college students not be paid violate the anti-trust laws that are in place. The opinion of the NCCA (Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals) stated they could not limit schools from giving full scholarships that include the price of attendance for students. Instead, the court ruled that schools didn't have to hold delayed funds in a trust for athletes to cover money up to 5,000 dollars a year for publicity rights. Some worry the ruling could open up more cases in the future. Donald Remy, a NCAA chief legal officer expressed his disappointment that the court declined to clarify the issues of law concerning the NCAA. He explains "We continue to believe, and many other appellate courts have agreed, that the NCAA membership agreements to advance college sports are not violations of the antitrust laws," and that in the courts choice not to hear the case "will not deter our members from continuing to provide students with academic opportunities, safeguarding their health and well-being and creating fair policies centered on the student-athlete experience."

Analysis: The article was written by Ariane de Vogue, titled as a Supreme court Reporter. The author's point of view is an unbiased presentation of both sides of the conflict. The article was produced this morning, October 3, 2016. I didn't know anything about the subject of the article or how athletes get paid within college funding, which causes me to take a longer time to understand, and gives me a neutral interpretation for the most part. This article was most likely written towards athletes who it directly effects to let them be aware of the efforts made towards their payment. It's important because it raises the ideas of whether or not current laws in place should be reformed.
Synthesis- The situation presented in the article can be related to many court cases in the past, specifically a case in 1984 (Grove city college v. Bell) regarding federal funds to colleges.
