Antitrust 101: NCAA v. Alston
E
3:38Emma BaschGUEST
Anyway, back in 2021, the NCAA regulated not just safety standards, but how much compensation universities could provide student-athletes.
E
3:46Emma BaschGUEST
Universities could offer undergraduate scholarships up to the full cost of attendance, and there were a few narrow pathways which schools could use under NCAA rules to compensate players.
