Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh ripped the NCAA, saying the organization is 'not above the law'

• The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the NCAA can no longer ban colleges from giving student athletes education-related benefits.
• Justice Brett Kavanaugh criticized the NCAA's business model as part of the ruling.
• He said the organization is "not above the law."

Supreme Justice Brett Kavanaugh criticized the National Collegiate Athletic Association in Monday's Alston vs. NCAA ruling, saying the organization is "not above the law."

"Nowhere else in America can businesses get away with agreeing not to pay their workers a fair market rate on the theory that their product is defined by not paying their workers a fair market rate," he wrote. "And under ordinary principles of antitrust law, it is not evident why college sports should be any different."

Kavanaugh added that the NCAA's business model would be "flatly illegal in almost any other industry in America."

The Supreme Court on Monday unanimously ruled against the NCAA in the case about limitations on compensation for student athletes.

The court's opinion, written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, said the NCAA can no longer ban colleges from providing student-athletes with education-related benefits.
