Steve Berman, co-counsel in the original case, is also leading a lawsuit challenging the limits the NCAA is placing on future name, image and likeness opportunities for college athletes.
The Supreme Court sided with college athletes against the National Collegiate Athletic Association after a unanimous 9–0 decision affirmed an education-related increase in college athlete compensation Monday.
Under the decision, the NCAA can provide student athletes unlimited education-related compensation, like compensation for internships or funds for musical instruments. The justices rejected the association’s claim that its amateur league status could not be maintained if athletes could receive pay.
