The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to consider whether the National Collegiate Athletic Association violated federal antitrust law with its efforts to keep tight limits on compensating college athletes.

The court, in a brief written order, said it would hear the NCAA's appeal of lower court rulings that found the association unlawfully limited competition for college athletes by adopting a restricted view of the kinds of compensation the athletes could receive related to their education.

Right now this only applies to the FBS conferences. The Big East would not be affected...right now.  And "compensation" means the COA limits imposed by the schools, not the ability to make money but get additional education-related expenses paid for, e.g., computers, calculators, supplies, study abroad opportunities, but the school. Much of that is paid for already though the Student Athlete Assistance Funds, if not fully then partially.
