The End Of An Era: The Mounting Challenges To The Ncaa’S Model Of Amateurism, John Niemeyer Jul 2015

The End Of An Era: The Mounting Challenges To The Ncaa’S Model Of Amateurism, John Niemeyer

Pepperdine Law Review

In the six years between 2006 and 2012, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), a nonprofit organization made up of universities, doubled its net assets to its current, unprecedented level of over $566 million. In 2012 alone, the organization retained a $71 million surplus after it disbursed a majority of its revenue to the NCAA member universities. It was able to make this much money largely because of the television revenue earned from the highly popular and entertaining sports of men’s football and men’s basketball. One would think that if a nonprofit organization could retain $71 million at the end …

The Potential Unintended Consequences Of The O'Bannon Decision, Matthew J. Parlow Dec 2013

The Potential Unintended Consequences Of The O'Bannon Decision, Matthew J. Parlow

Matthew Parlow

The O’Bannon decision made a significant change to one of the philosophical pillars of intercollegiate athletics in allowing for greater compensation for student athletes. At the same time, the court took only an incremental step in the direction of pay for college athletes: The decision was limited to football and men’s basketball players — as opposed to non-revenue-generating sports — and it set a yearly cap of $5,000 for each of these athletes. However, the court left open the possibility for — indeed, it almost seemed to invite — future challenges to the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s restrictions on student-athlete …


The Myth Of The "Full Ride": Cheating Our Collegiate Athletes And The Need For Additional Ncaa Scholarship-Limit Reform, Christopher Davis Jr., Dylan Oliver Malagrino Jan 2013

The Myth Of The "Full Ride": Cheating Our Collegiate Athletes And The Need For Additional Ncaa Scholarship-Limit Reform, Christopher Davis Jr., Dylan Oliver Malagrino

Oklahoma Law Review

The National Collegiate Athletic Association should amend Bylaw 15.1 and allow institutions to award athletic scholarship monies up to the institutionally set, estimated cost of attendance. NCAA Bylaw 15.1 limits an individual student-athlete’s athletic scholarships and other financial aid based on athletic ability to the value of a full grant-in-aid. The individual student-athlete scholarship limit is an arbitrary price cap and an unreasonable restraint of trade in violation of section 1 of the Sherman Act because it prevents student-athletes from receiving financial aid up to the institutionally set, estimated cost of attendance, which includes the additional expenses an institution deems …


Hold Your Fire: The Injustice Of Ncaa Sanctions On Innocent Student Athletes, Dylan O. Malagrino Dec 2008

Hold Your Fire: The Injustice Of Ncaa Sanctions On Innocent Student Athletes, Dylan O. Malagrino

Dylan Malagrinò

The National Collegiate Athletic Association’s current enforcement system and sanctioning process against member institutions that violate the NCAA’s Bylaws punishes prospective and current student athletes for infractions committed by student athletes, coaches, or administrators no longer associated with the institution. This article reviews the injustices committed against prospective and current student athletes, as well as student athletes’ inability to challenge punishments the NCAA levies against them. The NCAA’s Committee on Infractions should increase its consideration of the current student athletes’ welfare at violating institutions before implementing penalties. This article provides recommendations for the NCAA Committee on Infractions that would enable …
