[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 998540, member: 2426"] I understand that Barkley wasn't. However, it is the second NLRB finding that supports college athletes being considered employees. Several members of Congress have made statements that college athletics needs to figure things out before Congress is forced to step in. Justice Kavanaugh wrote after the Alston decision that other NCAA regulations "also raise serious questions under the antitrust laws" and that they would be struck down if challenged. There are far too many signs that athletes are going to be considered employees at some point to ignore them. It is extremely rare that a Supreme Court Justice will offer insight into what [I]might [/I]happen if someone files a lawsuit. I would say that is a very clear indication that the Supreme Court will rule that the NCAA cannot restrict schools from paying the athletes directly. All it will take is someone to file a lawsuit. It would take several years to make it to the Supreme Court, but a Supreme Court Justice has given the roadmap for how to file and how to structure that lawsuit to be all but guaranteed to win. The schools that are members of the NCAA simply waited until laws made them change the ability of student-athletes to be able to profit from their NIL. The NCAA and the member schools absolutely know that athletes will be employees one day, yet they appear to be just waiting to be legally forced into it instead of trying to fashion it in a way that makes sense to all parties. (I do understand that "NIL" is currently being used mostly for things not related to name, image, or likeness. But that is because the NCAA had clamped down and restricted actual NIL for a very long time and as a result have no control over it now.) [/QUOTE]
