O'Bannon v. NCAA,802 F.3d 1049 was an antitrust class action lawsuit filed against the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The lawsuit,which former UCLA basketball player Ed O'Bannon filed on behalf of the NCAA's Division I football and men's basketball players,challenges the organization's use of the images and the likeness of its former student athletes for commercial purposes. The suit argues that upon graduation,a former student athlete should become entitled to financial compensation for NCAA's commercial uses of their image. The NCAA maintains that paying its athletes would be a violation of its concept of amateurism in sports. At stake are "billions of dollars in television revenues and licensing fees."

National Collegiate Athletic Association v. Alston,594 U.S. ___ (2021),was a 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.
