Fishman Stewart partner, Barbara Mandell, is featured in the Detroit Legal News. Barbara discusses the recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court regrading Sherman Antitrust Act violations by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
On June 21, 2021, the Supreme Court of the United States in National Collegiate Athletic Assoc. v. Alston unanimously held that, by imposing restrictions on compensation to Division One college athletes, the NCAA and eleven Division One conferences violated Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act, which prohibits “contract[s], combination[s], or conspirac[ies] in restraint of trade or commerce.” Barbara Mandell, partner at IP boutique Fishman Stewart, PLLC, notes that while the decision from the case is narrow in scope, the ramifications have been immediate.
