Quote:Stanford will initiate NCAA v. Alston-related payments to student-athletes during the 2023-24 school year, wrote Executive Associate Athletics Director Carter Henderson in a statement to The Daily.
Henderson wrote that while the guidelines for the payments are still being determined, the University intends to distribute awards permissible by the Alston case to student-athletes on scholarships.
The announcement comes two years after the Supreme Court ruled that the NCAA and its members could not cap academic-related grants that go beyond scholarships covering tuition and room and board. According to Stanford law professor emeritus William Gould IV, the ruling affirmed the idea that educational benefits can no longer be interpreted narrowly. The Supreme Court’s decision also cleared the path for schools to directly provide up to $5,980 a year for academic payments to student-athletes.
...
Though more than 50 Division I schools currently provide Alston payments to athletes in some or all sports, some Stanford leadership are concerned about whether Alston payments would create inequities between athletes and other students.
