Member Tyrone Thomas, an experienced sports law attorney, is quoted in this Law360 article discussing the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision denying from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and a group of former college athletes to review the existing amateurism model prohibiting college players from receiving compensation beyond scholarship packages. The piece notes that many believe that this particular case, led by former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon, may not have been the strongest one on such an important issue.
