The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday is set to consider the National Collegiate Athletic Association's bid to maintain its limits on education-related compensation for student-athletes - restrictions that a lower court deemed an anticompetitive business practice.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday is set to consider the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s bid to maintain its limits on education-related compensation for student-athletes - restrictions that a lower court deemed an anticompetitive business practice.

Although the case does not involve direct payments to athletes, the broader question of player compensation has increasingly become a point of contention. College sports, including the “March Madness” basketball tournament currently taking place, bring in billions of dollars in revenue but players remain tied to what critics call a fiction of amateurism.

The case involves students who are players in the highest-level of college sports: NCAA Division I men’s and women’s basketball and those in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Football and basketball represent the major revenue-generating sports at the college level.

Since there is money to be made off the players' labor, seems like a fair question.

This is the first time I’ve rooted for Gatorade.

I’m just going to say this. My college paid the fucking pep band for every game. As they should. They were electric. If an athlete gets a sponsorship deal that is not negotiated by anyone at your school, it’s none of your business.

When women's sports bring in what male sports do - then equal compensation. Pay based on income of organization. Sounds fair!
