We live in a very polarized society today, which isn’t news to anyone. That polarization has extended all the way to the Supreme Court, where each appointment has come with very close scrutiny and every decision the justices have made analyzed to the point where you think you know how they’ll rule on a case before it’s even argued. This type of polarization and scrutiny leads every case being a split decision it seems like.
So it’s nice to know that there is one thing that can cut through this polarization: the NCAA.
In a 9-0 decision on Monday, the Supreme Court agreed with a lower court decision that they violated antitrust law by limiting how athletes can be compensated for education-related benefits.
