What is Your College QB Worth?

 From CBS:

Washington — The Supreme Court on Monday said the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) cannot strictly limit certain benefits for student-athletes as a means of protecting their amateur status, delivering a blow to the behemoth organization as it confronts efforts to allow collegiate athletes to receive some financial compensation.

Antitrust laws, (Justice Brett) Kavanaugh said then, "should not be a cover for exploitation of the student athletes."

"The schools are conspiring with competitors, agreeing with competitors, I'll say that, to pay no salaries to the workers who are making the schools billions of dollars on the theory that consumers want the schools to pay their workers nothing," he said. "That just seems entirely circular and even somewhat disturbing."

In his concurrence Monday, Kavanaugh cited some of the most storied venues and events in college sports, such as football game days in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, or South Bend, Indiana, and the women's and men's College World Series in Oklahoma City and Omaha, Nebraska.

"But those traditions alone cannot justify the NCAA's decision to build a massive money-raising enterprise on the backs of student athletes who are not fairly compensated," he said. "Nowhere else in America can businesses get away with agreeing not to pay their workers a fair market rate on the theory that their product is defined by not paying their workers a fair market rate. And under ordinary principles of antitrust law, it is not evident why college sports should be any different."
