The judge will NOT approve the House Settlement as currently written. She has issues with roster size. Sorry can’t copy X link since I refuse to give any money to Musk.

Uncreative, unoriginal and he lives in mommy and daddy’s basement - what a sad little keyboard tough guy existence you live. I’ll say a prayer for you that life improves.

I don't think this judge has a very good grasp on broader constitutional principles. This roster limit thing is nothing. She can play games with it for a while, and maybe the NCAA just gives in. The big problem is the "fair value," third party judgment system on NIL deals. That's what the NCAA wants in the deal and that's exactly what has no chance of standing up to legal scrutiny at higher levels. Unless the NCAA gives up on the idea that they don't want athletes to be employees, they have no chance of gaining some control.

SCOTUS has already said as much regarding limiting a players worth. Also NCAA will never be able to prove “fair market value”

Exactly. The NCAA v, Alston decision, which paved the way for NIL, specifically warned the NCAA not to come back before a Federal Appeals Court trying to protect their anti-trust policies because the NCAA doesn't have an exemption until and unless they make athletes employees and legitimately negotiate revenue with them. The current strategy of the NCAA is to get Congress to give them such an exemption. They're hoping the House settlement will convince Congress to do it. Congress has no reason do it. Furthermore, even if Congress does, there's no reason to think the Supreme Court wouldn't declare the legislation unconstitutional until the NCAA makes athletes employees. They better face reality and admit it's a business.

I'll try to explain this in a common sense way that most can understand. All this talk about a "cap" and "fair value" doesn't have a legal leg to stand on because there hasn't been an agreement between the parties. When you go to work for a company, they can't tell you they won't pay you but you must work anyway. You agree to work for a certain amount under certain conditions, and that's the deal. They can't limit what someone else will pay you either. If they don't pay you as their employee, they can't make you work. Simple as that. They're making money off your work, but they're not paying. That's the problem here. Now, if the schools pay something, which is what the House settlement would do, but they don't have your consent to the amount, either individually or collectively, then it's still not legal. This is basic market capitalism.
