Jun 25, 2021•37 min
Episode description
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled this week that the NCAA violated federal antitrust laws by barring student athletes from receiving compensation. The decision wasn’t a sweeping overhaul for players, but it could open the door to new, broader challenges at a time when college sports are already changing. We’re joined this week by Law360 senior sports law reporter Zach Zagger to break down the ruling and what it might mean going forward. Also this week: Harvard University wins a lawsuit seeking tuition refunds over COVID-19; the Supreme Court sides with a high school cheerleader who dropped F-bombs while off-campus; and a former BigLaw associate is in hot water after allegedly faking thousands of hours of pro bono work.
