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.
College athletics stakeholders want Congress to pass a federal law allowing student athletes to make money while they participate in college sports and they want it done by July 1.

Master P says he has a $2.5 million dollar deal on the table for son Hercy Miller if NCAA changes the payment rules for college athletes. The No Limit Records founder and business mogul negotiated a product deal that could make his son a multi-million dollar college athlete.
This deal is all dependent on the NCAA rule changes that may take place in August. Current rules for the National Collegiate Athletic Association prohibit student-athletes from making money off their name, image, or likeness (NIL). Third-party endorsements have not been allowed for college students. But that could all change in a few months.
