Harrison cited in O’Bannon v. NCAA ruling

Professor Jeffrey Harrison and son Casey Harrison (JD 10) wrote an article that was cited in the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, O’Bannon v. NCAA. From the ruling: “Indeed, if anything, loosening or abandoning the compensation rules might be the best way to “widen” recruits’ range of choices; athletes might well be more likely to attend college, and stay there longer, if they knew that they were earning some amount of NIL income while they were in school. See Jeffrey L. Harrison & Casey C. Harrison, The Law and Economics of the NCAA’s Claim to Monopsony Rights, 54 Antitrust Bull. 923, 948 (2009). We therefore reject the NCAA’s claim that, by denying student-athletes compensation apart from scholarships, the NCAA increases the “choices” available to them.”
