The dispute before the Supreme Court is the first involving antitrust laws and the billion-dollar NCAA to land before the justices in decades. A lower court last year ruled the NCAA could not limit education-related benefits, such as post-graduate scholarships, internships, computers and science equipment, to student-athletes. So, the argument is they are recruited, they're used up and then they're cast aside, without even a college degree. The NCAA has long relied on a 1984 Supreme Court ruling to justify its amateurism framework. Justice Brett Kavanaugh told Waxman he believes antitrust laws "should not be a cover for exploitation of the student athletes.

In 1984, the high court rejected NCAA rules restricting the broadcast of college football. Currently, athletic scholarships can cover the cost of college athletes’ attendance at college. Whatever happens at the high court, how college athletes are compensated is already likely changing.

(AP Photo/Wayne Parry)ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – Some sports betting companies are offering tools that allow compulsive gamblers to block themselves from most online sites.

And states including New Jersey offer state-administered self-exclusion lists where gamblers can prohibit themselves from gambling for differing periods, or permanently. “We strongly support the ability of gamblers to self-exclude through both the operator and on their own personal devices,” he said.

But 8% fewer plan to fill out brackets pools because many offices remain closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. (AP Photo/Wayne Parry)ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – Fewer Americans expect to fill out brackets for the NCAA's college basketball tournament this year, but the overall number of people making bets on March Madness should remain about the same as the last time the tournament was held, according to the gambling industry's national trade association. The American Gaming Association released figures Sunday predicting that more than 47 million Americans plan to make a bet — legal or otherwise — on March Madness this year. That's about the same number that said they planned to bet on the 2019 tournament. “The sports betting landscape has changed dramatically since 2019, and as a result, tournament betting has transformed,” AGA President and CEO Bill Miller said.

(CBS Local)- After last year’s tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the biggest questions entering this March Madness is will fans be able to attend? First, the NCAA Tournament is being played entirely in Indiana this year with the large majority of games being held at one of several sites in Indianapolis. Only one game at a time will be played at Lucas Oil Stadium. Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts, seats 70,000 for football and approximately that many for basketball as well making it the largest of the host sites. The NCAA said in its release that ticketing information would be available after March 1.

March Madness will be geographically isolated this college basketball season. The NCAA announced on Monday changes to the 2021 men’s basketball tournament. The 13 different sites throughout the country initially scheduled to host games leading up to the Final Four will instead be held in a single geographic location, likely Indianapolis. As a result of the decision, Detroit will no longer host first- and second-round games. Likewise, first and second-round games scheduled across the country -- from Providence, Rhode Island, to San Jose, California -- will be relocated.

INDIANAPOLIS – The University of Maryland-Baltimore County pulled off one of the greatest upsets in American sports history at the 2018 NCAA Tournament, knocking off Virginia to become the first No. 4 seeds during an opening weekend that epitomized the beloved spectacle the NCAA Tournament has become.

Gavitt said there is no plan to change the start date and the NCAA Tournament is expected to be played in March and April as scheduled.

The pizza chain's stock, which has a market value of $12.3 billion, is up nearly 8% so far in 2020. But the pizza chain's stock could start to feel the pinch as sporting events are canceled.
