The O'Bannon case ruled that personal expenses, transportation can play into scholarships.
The final ruling boils down to two important details, according to Gonzaga law professor and practicing lawyer Mike Casey.
“Both sides won something, and both sides lost something,” he said. “The NCAA lost on whether they were subject to the antitrust laws or not, and the student athletes lost on getting paid.”
The Ninth Circuit Appeal Court ruled that the NCAA is a business, and requiring players to sign over their name image likeness (NIL) violates antitrust laws, meaning that players are no longer required to do so in order to play.
