In a unanimous decision on Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that student-athletes could get some education-related payments in a blow against the NCAA.

The ruling would allow colleges to provide payments to college athletes in the form of computers, musical instruments and internships, according to The Hill.

A group of college students sued the NCAA, claiming that its rules on compensating players went against antitrust laws.

Justice Neil Gorsuch delivered the decision, but Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s concurrent opinion blasted the NCAA for the way it does business.

“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,” Kavanaugh wrote. “And under ordinary principles of antitrust law, it is not evident why college sports should be any different. The NCAA is not above the law.”

According to CNN, the NCAA negotiated an eight-year extension for the broadcasting rights to the very popular March Madness. The deal is reportedly worth $1.1 billion a year.

Steve Berman, a managing partner at Hagens Berman, which represented the students in the case, told CNN that, “It is our hope that this victory in the battle for college athletes’ rights will carry on a wave of justice uplifting further aspects of athlete compensation. This is the fair treatment college athletes deserve.”
