Episode 18:  The NCAA Goes Down in the Supreme Court...What Happens Next?

A unanimous Supreme Court ruled against the NCAA and held that some of their restrictions on college athlete benefits are illegal under antitrust law.  Justice Kavanaugh added a scathing concurring opinion and headlines across the country pronounced that the NCAA is near its death as an organization.  

What does the case mean? Is this the beginning of the end for the NCAA? What happens next? What goes on behind closed doors at the Supreme Court?  Is it appropriate to send emoji texts to a Supreme Court Justice?  Rakesh Kilaru, one of the lead lawyers for the NCAA in the Alston case, joins me to answer all of these questions and more.
