The below article has more detail.
Everyone hates the ncaa, and for good reason. I can see how the ncaa is going to continue to lose antitrust cases.
Nevertheless, I don't think this result is good for college athletics as a whole.
College sports, especially the transfer portal/no-sit rule and NIL, are out of control. Who knows where it will go or end.
College athletics is already being hurt in many respects. But, in the end, I assume college athletics will still be around, and will work. At least, in some fashion.
Talk about haves, and have nots.
Could minor league "college" football and basketball ever work? Would people be interested in that, and pay for it? Or does college-age football and basketball (maybe hockey too) have to be through college associations to keep it popular?

This is such trash. Major College Football is destroying all other College athletics with its dick measuring contest. That’s just downright sad. The only thing that can save college athletics now is legislation from Congress, but this is like the least effective Congress in American history. What a sad state of affairs we find ourselves in
I'm predicting that the NCAA is going to pretty much disappear from the scene re: college Basketball and Football.
It may exist for non-big $ TV revenue sports.
It is a monopoly and it has acted as one for years against the legitimate financial interests of those who are the most responsible for the obscene amount of $ that the NCAA has raked in through the years i.e., The Players.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a professional “minor” league formed that paid to license the names of the Universities and their stadiums,colors,mascots,etc. The NFL and NBA may even be involved with it.
You can bet your ass that legalized gambling will be a part of it.
We live in a Capitalist society which values $ above almost all else. Especially big $ which dominates modern American society. Good, bad, or some of both, that is where we are for the foreseeable future.

The whole thing is tough to wrap one’s head around. Moving up is really a whole different conversation at this point in time. The NCAA caused this mess and they aren’t going to be the ones to rectify it. We have a moving target right now. Hard to believe how fast college athletics are shifting. I like that players are making money finally. I just don’t love the end result.

I'm not thrilled about players making money. I mean, I get it to a point, but that's what scholarships were for, paying an athlete's way through school. College football is a mess now.

Someone should give back OJ Simpson's Heisman Trophy. Ha.
