Shaun Alston and Justine Hartman lead the class action, arguing for the Supreme Court to uphold a ruling allowing schools to provide educational benefits like computers and internships. The NCAA fears this could lead to bidding wars. The case is part of a broader discussion on athlete rights, separate from Congress's debate on athletes profiting from their likeness. Significant changes in college sports are anticipated, with uncertainty over who will drive these changes.
