Actually, the ruling is appropriate.
The Supreme Court was siding with the lower court decision that overturned an NBA [B]by-law[/B] restricting the labor pool.
It essentially was a one-sided restraint imposed by owners.
BUT...collective bargaining permits the parties to circumvent antitrust law.
So today's restrictions would fly.

And two observations regarding this thread:

No real talk of why colleges should be recruiting one-and-dones in the first place if they really seek to have an educational mission.
And perhaps the issue is rightly ignored.
The college "game"  is really a "business" now...there's just WAY too much money involved and no way to close the barn door.
So, the reluctant conclusion is it's time to start compensating the "unhired"(1) help.

Also, Leo Rautins may have been the best all-around player SU ever had.
He could do everything.
Only Billy Owens rivaled his complete skills.
His is an opinion to be respected.

Footnote (1): the  term "unhired" to describe college basketball players does not apply to Kentucky or any place John Calipari coaches.
