ncaa. the ncaa sought to defend that rule on the amateurism principle and what the 10th circuit said was look, rules that are reasonably designed to protect the amateur status of student athletes should be upheld in the twinkling of an eye, but coaches are not student athletes, they are professionals, just like professors and presidents. therefore, the court applied full rule of reason review and struck down the limitation on coaches. so the ncaa is no longer permitted under the antitrust laws running anyway restraining the salaries of coaches and other professionals. justice thomas: the board of regents, where the ncaa defended its interests, did we conduct a deferential quick look review? seth waxman: mr. chief justice, the amateurism -- i am sorry, but i am sure you would be terrific at that. [laughter] let me just say. justice roberts: there is no opening. seth waxman: there is nothing more i can say that will not get into trouble, so the answer justice thomas' question. the rules that

the ncaa did. what the court found is the ncaa allows these types of payments for athletes who are performing on the field. pay for play. and since the ncaa did not see any damage to its product by allowing a star player to make that for winning a ballgame -- justice thomas i'm sorry to cut : you off, but that sounds fine for the upper level schools whether it is alabama, ohio , state, nebraska, but for the schools that have more modest circumstances, it would seem that they would begin, the bigger schools would begin to cherry pick with a transfer portal, the athletes from the lower schools, simply because they are able to afford this income that you were talking about. have you considered that as a problem in an environment where you're trying to maintain amateur status? mr. kessler: there is a reason that the ncaa does not assert competitive balance as a defense in this case and that is because those schools don't compete now. now, alabama pays coaches $700,000 per year. one of those small schoo

it did not take long for the ncaa to make changes, though. >> by saturday the ncaa sharing the new setup for the women, prince thanking everyone who helped. >> guess what, guys? we got a weight room, yeah! >> trevor: damn, that's ice cold because that's not a weight room, that's just the rack of weights that you buy in the beginning of quawrpt and then never use. and honestly, this is surprising because, usually, the ncaa treats male and female athletes equally. i mean, they 2ke67b89 pay them both the same amount, but to be fair, at least the ncaa made it right. after the uproar, they gave the women the same amenities that the men's weightroom has. more machines, more weights and added the guy who makes way too much noise when he's lifting ( grunting ) >> this is how you know that i'm strong! aaahhh! now, it was upsetting enough when people saw the difference in men's and women's weight rooms, but turns out sexism in the ncaa is a lot of like face tune, once you're aware of it you notice it everywhere. >> eth not just the weight room, the covid tests different for the men's women, the mo

the ncaa's got a lot of money. got a lot of power and it argues that amateur athletes are an essential part of the product is that in any way a fair assessment i mean, without the amateur athlete, do college athletics even exist >> yeah, and that's the whole ruse of this when they refer to you as a product. when you look at this game, this tournament tonight, the final four, when you look at the football playoff system, the ncaa for years has been throwing muddy water on us trying to convince it was rain and finally the supreme court even if they don't do it this time, they are going to be led to the ultimate conclusion that this is a commercial enterprise. and the colleges and the coaches that benefit from this are going to have to basically change the way they do business the athletes, whether it's a softball player, a lacrosse player, all the way up to football and basketball players are all part of this on campus entertainment. and the powers that be at the ncaa are going to have to find a find a way to feed so

because the ncaa is very, very opaque about its money operation here. at stake and the ncaa doesn't disclose any of its financials here. >> i have to tell you, one of the things that was just kind of mind blowing for me is that there are different testing protocols, sally, for covid, there are different safety testing protocols for the men's tournament getting daily pcr tests, the women's teams not so much, getting antigen tests. we know that antigen tests are less accurate. >> and they're cheaper. they're simply cheaper. >> mine, is that the answer? >> i don't know. i don't know if it's an inconvenience issue or a money issue. but does it really matter? i mean, should these athletes not be getting the same testing? they're both ncaa athletes competing for championships, there's no early rationale for it. >> sally, thank you so much for coming on and for your powerful writing. look, we all -- i love the men's tournament, i love the women's tournament as well, both march madness but there is a little bit of madness to this and what is being exposed right

right now the ncaa women's tournament as well as 24 other sports in the ncaa that are not men's basketball, they have their own separate television contract that is worth over a billion dollars. the women's teams and the other championship sports, it's 500 million. so you mean to tell me they're getting 500 million from espn, so you mean to tell me that $500 million they couldn't give these women adequate training equipment, meals, just normal basic stuff? and this should let everybody know who's watching this and hearing about this story that this was about the fact they didn't think they were worth it to begin with. that's why when they got caught and this video went viral, suddenly within 24 hours they have a change of heart the money was always there the money isn't the issue. the issue is they don't think these women are worth it >> you know, okay, they're going to fix the problem it's clear to all. do they need to do more here i mean, more in this moment while this tournament is beginning. >> they need to do everything they can to show that they take women's sports seriously because

the ncaa was fast to address the weight room issue.'ve read they're also doing something about the meals at the women's tournament. but that really is small potatoes compared to some of the issues you wrote about the in your column over the weekend including money. >> and primarily promotion. this is a potential flagship event for the ncaa and if you look at a lot of the games, the floor, you can't even tell they're playing a championship. literally there's not a lot of decalling on the floor to tell you that you're watching a championship event. you might think you were watching a high school tournament. you might think you were watching a junior college tournament. the difference in presentation is really striking at times. so that's one thing that's been bothering some of the coaches i've talked to and then of course that's just a pervasive sort of lesser-than. it's everything from meals to really petty details that don't mean very much but they are a sign of a lack of respect that the women feel. >> someould argue the men's tournam

the ncaa has also taken steps with the local hotels and restaurants. to ensure athletes have more meal options and availability. after hearing complaints, we are working quickly to fix it in this moment, but i think we need to continue to have broader conversations in the meantime, players are literally leaning on each other, improvising partner workouts, another difference in the ncaa is that women pay their way to play in the national invitational tournament while the men do not when asked about this, the ncaa advice. president for basketball said today. that is an important question on gender equity to bring up to the larger governing structure of the ncaa heather holmes this this whole situation really highlights the inequality that women's programs deal with. really on a routine basis. it's gotta change. all right, and my gosh reporting live force tonight. thank you, emma. well it looks like the most most fans from abroad will be banned from attending the tokyo olympics. tokyo organizer's and the international olympic committee are expected to mak

it has been a dream for all of us to play in the ncaa tournament. the care of our doctors and administration and all our efforts and attention will be put into our players at this time. life isn't always fair but it's how you deal with it and move forward. this news is concerning for the ncaa because it means their controlled environment has likely been compromised. vcu likely contracted the virus here in indianapolis. the teams are staying at four hotels here in downtown. they're very secure. the public can't get anywhere near them. the players and teams, they had to show seven days of negative tests before arriving here. they've been tested daily since getting here nearly a week ago. but still, covid found a way to disrupt this year's ncaa tournament. >>> when we come back, the signs are everywhere, pandemic pause on normal life might be coming to an end. like in japan where they're leveling up at theme parks. super nintendo world next. rely on the experts at 1800petmeds for the same medications as the vet, but for less with fast free shipping. vi
