Abstract

This study investigates the legal status of student athletes under National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) member schools’ policies for the restriction on payment. It further draws attention to the role of Sherman Act in examining the case. Publications from professors interested in related sociological and economic concerns in addition to oral arguments on the court were analyzed to learn how markets and employment status would impact court decisions. Moreover, scholarly critiques of NCAA’s restriction on payment by pioneers of socioeconomic issues and social activists for student athlete body were explored. This led to understanding that courts could lean toward conservative decisions for stabilizing the existing structure of college sport. However, competitive imbalance resulting from payment restriction outweighs its benefits. NCAA’s prohibition on payment violates the Sherman Act and student athletes should be considered as employees in status, thus should be repealed.
