First, a synopsis of what drove the ruling: To really understand what went down with regard to the recent SCOTUS decision regarding the NCAA, it helps to understand just what “The Law” is. ”The Law”, in the hands of lawyers, politicians, and judges - even SCOTUS judges - is oftentimes as much about finding a way for the law to support the actions one wants to take, as it is about some pre-set code that drives one’s actions. It is, for lack of a better analogy, a Chicken-and-Egg conundrum.
