What Does the Supreme Court's Decision Mean From a Legal Perspective?

Connecticut senator chris murphy has been one of the many vocal supporters of athletes being able to make money from their name, image and likeness. This issue actually rose all the way to the supreme court last year, where jeffrey kesler led the plaintiff's team in the n c a versus alston case. The supreme court unanimously struck down the n c s restriction on schools giving cash to athletes for academic expenses like laptops or tutoring. But the even bigger impact of the supreme court's ruling was that it effectively closed the nc a loophole of amateurism altogether.
