Stanford’s William Gould on SCOTUS Student Athlete’s Decision

I think it’s a very significant decision. The student athletes won a major victory in this ruling today. The holding is a narrow holding. It upholds Judge Claudia Wilken in Oakland of the US District Court, who held that education-related expenditures, many of them subsequent to graduation or their college experience, were appropriate to be ordered for student athletes. And her holding really flies the tree tops in that these are modest payments that are education-related.

I think that Justice Kavanaugh’s opinion today will resound for years to come. Coupled with the Court’s refusal to give deference to universities and the Court’s recognition that the market has expanded so considerably to the benefit of universities, makes me think this is just the first shot across the bow.
