There's a lot of confusion in the Presidential roundtable surrounding the impact of the courts on the NCAA's ability to limit athlete compensation. The Alston decision was limited to education-related benefits. There was no finding by a court that an agreement not to pay athletes was illegal. The 9th Circuit decision in Alston upheld the NCAA's right to restrict payments unrelated to education (ie, pay for play and NIL), and the issue was never raised or addressed by the Supreme Court.

In the short term, this decision means the NCAA can not restrict certain types of education-related benefits (internships, etc). In long term, Kavanaugh's withering concurrence might open door for antitrust attacks that will end most of the NCAA's restrictions on compensation
