National Collegiate Athletic Association v. Alston,594 U.S. ___ (2021),was a landmark United States Supreme Court case concerning the compensation of collegiate athletes within the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). It followed from a previous case,O'Bannon v. NCAA,in which it was found that the NCAA was profiting from the namesake and likenesses of college athletes. The case dealt with the NCAA's restrictions on providing college athletes with non-cash compensation for academic-related purposes,such as computers and internships,which the NCAA maintained was to prevent the appearance that the student athletes were being paid to play or treated as professional athletes. Lower courts had ruled that these restrictions were in violation of antitrust law,which the Supreme Court affirmed in a unanimous ruling in June 2021.
