PHILADELPHIA -- College athletes whose efforts primarily benefit their schools may qualify as employees deserving of pay under federal wage-and-hour laws, a U.S. appeals court ruled Thursday in a setback to the NCAA.

The court, in the latest challenge to the NCAA's long-held notion of "amateurism" in college sports, said a test should be developed to differentiate between students who play college sports for fun and those whose effort "crosses the legal line into work."

"Ultimately, the touchstone remains whether the cumulative circumstances of the relationship between the athlete and college or NCAA reveal an economic reality that is that of an employee-employer."

The NCAA had hoped to have the case dismissed, but it will instead go back to the trial judge for fact-finding.

They argue that colleges are violating fair labor practices by failing to pay them for the time they dedicate to their sports, which they say can average 30 or more hours per week.

Lawyer Paul McDonald, representing the plaintiffs, has suggested that athletes might make $2,000 per month or $10,000 per year for participating in NCAA sports. He said many students need the money for everyday expenses.

DALLAS -- After an offseason at Texas A&M that saw an exodus of players following the firing of Jimbo Fisher, Aggies coach Mike Elko said Thursday that he's happy with the state of the program ahead of his first season at the helm.
Texas A&M had 30 players leave,
most notably several members of Fisher's 2022 No. 1 national class, including No. 1 overall recruit Walter Nolen!
Down goes A&M?

Haven't got into it just yet.
Gotta see how summer camps progress and there are ALWAYS significant injuries at that time that can easily derail early betting.

I guess scholarships would have to be a consideration whenever payment is considered but the average athlete must put in a tremendous amount of time. The NCAA has been a necessary evil imho but it seems to rule with an iron fist at times. I know athletes here at the University of Delaware are heavily involved in summer camps in most sports but I'd be surprised if they make that much money.

The NCAA had hoped to have the case dismissed, but it will instead go back to the trial judge for fact-finding. The Division I athletes and former athletes behind the suit in Philadelphia are seeking more modest hourly wages similar to those earned by their peers in work-study programs. That actually makes sense when it is compared that way. Sure....assuming they aren't also collecting full scholarships.
I guess scholarships would have to be a consideration whenever payment is considered but the average athlete must put in a tremendous amount of time. The NCAA has been a necessary evil imho but it seems to rule with an iron fist at times. I know athletes here at the University of Delaware are heavily involved in summer camps in most sports but I'd be surprised if they make that much money.

Yep. Some would be receiving NIL plus full scholarship already.
Should they also get a salary on top of that?
