The NCAA added a new legal challenge to its already cumbersome case load Thursday, as a trio of college athletes filed suit against the association and its five most powerful conferences claiming that rules that prohibit schools from paying their athletes violate antitrust law.

Duke football player Dewayne Carter, Stanford soccer player Nya Harrison and TCU basketball player Sedona Prince filed their 70-page complaint in the Northern District of California federal court, the same venue where the NCAA has lost a series of antitrust claims in the past decade. Their attorneys requested an injunction that would prevent the NCAA from enforcing rules that prohibit "pay for play" compensation for athletes and seeks damages for past payments the athletes would have received if the current rules were not in place.

We need to detach college football and college basketball from colleges and universities.

Would be glorious if they won, and then got hit with a bill for their tuition and everything else along with their allocated percentage of the losses the soccer program caused the university.

Women’s soccer and women’s basketball players. 2 sports that the universities LOSE money to run.

Fine, pay them $40k a year to play soccer or basketball. But no more scholarship. So now you pay your own tuition, books, room and board, meals, and all other living expenses.

Just make the schools account for every dollar spent on them in the name of scholarships and count it as benefits to their salary and have them taxed on it.

I mean schools are already openly paying for play, look at schools paying recruits just to visit. Having anti pay for play rules is a joke since they are obviously ignored. Now if we are talking like salary for athletes, that’s dumb and it will bankrupt the athletic departments and result in a ton of cuts because all the money’s going to the hundreds of athletes’ salaries.

What will truly bring the house down is when former players successfully sue. If the way student athletes are treated now is unconstitutional, what about all the players from the past. Where is their pay?

Can’t happen soon enough. Paying players in college that recieve a full PAID scholarship to play sports and get an education is beyond ridiculous. Like people couldn’t see, NIL just being a legal way to do this. Soon it will be college athletes being traddd school to school.
