The NCAA's amateurism model took another hit on Monday.
In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of college athletes in the Alston v. NCAA case on Monday. The ruling means the NCAA cannot limit education-related benefits that colleges provide to athletes, such as free laptops or paid post-graduate internships.
Here is the opinion in NCAA v. Alston. Justice Gorsuch delivered the opinion for a unanimous court. Justice Kavanaugh wrote separately to concur. https://t.co/GKlC9G6Q6e

The Supreme Court's ruling does not prevent the NCAA from continuing to prohibit colleges from paying athletes for their athletic performance, nor does it relate to the name, image and likeness benefits that college athletes will soon be able to receive as soon as July 1 in at least some states.
