Justice Kavanaugh delivers blistering opinion after SCOTUS ruling: 'The NCAA is not above the law'

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh laid into the NCAA with his concurring opinion on Monday after a unanimous decision ruled college athletics’ governing body illegally restricted education-based benefits that could be used as compensation to student-athletes.

"The bottom line is that the NCAA and its member colleges are suppressing the pay of student athletes who collectively generate billions of dollars in revenues for colleges every year. Those enormous sums of money flow to seemingly everyone except the student athletes. College presidents, athletic directors, coaches, conference commissioners, and NCAA executives take in six- and seven-figure salaries. Colleges build lavish new facilities. But the student athletes who generate the revenues, many of whom are African American and from lower-income backgrounds, end up with little or nothing," he wrote.
