government intervention at all.
What you see NOW is a free market, where athletes can CHOOSE to play as amateurs for NCAA teams, or can CHOOSE to go pro if they think that's better for them.
The SCOTUS will recognize this — that any athlete is currently able to profit from his name, image, and likeness already. The NCAA doesn't prevent that. It simply sets rules for the amateur-only teams of non-profit universities, which amateur athletes can volunteer for if they choose.
No one's rights are being violated since it's on a volunteer basis.
