Stewart Mandel, college football editor-in-chief: The NCAA’s insistence on appealing a relatively modest loss to the highest court in the land massively backfired.

While Monday’s SCOTUS decision has limited practical implications (yay, laptops), both the 9-0 vote and, in particular, searing concurrent comments by Justice Kavanaugh calling the NCAA’s price-fixing “highly illegal” signal the court might be willing to allow full-on pay-for-play if a future case comes before it.

. . . .

The NCAA’s longstanding legal strategy has been to dig in and defend the status quo. It would be smart to start devising a new, more modernized compensation model that would withstand antitrust scrutiny.
