3/ That's why a lower court already ruled against the NCAA – and it's why they should lose this appeal. The NCAA's main argument is the same tired one they've used for 60 years: college athletes are "amateurs" who have no say in how they're compensated or protected. — PolitiTweet.org

2/ In NCAA v. Alston, big time college sports programs argue they have a right to collude to set a "salary cap" (on scholarships and stipends) for all college athletes. But here's the problem: federal law prohibits collusion (of course it does). — PolitiTweet.org

4/ That's ridiculous. College sports is a $15 billion industry all built on the free labor of college athletes. Whether or not the NCAA wants to admit it, these athletes are employees. They often work 40+ hours/wk and they lose their compensation if they refuse to work. — PolitiTweet.org
