The guy who made this ruling is a complete idiot with an obvious agenda. Its a racist ruling about helping minorities.

In reference to the post you responded too, I believe this ruling will force a lot of minority athletes out of the NCAA. The scholarships will become income, however not to the athlete but the parents. I would not be bold in saying that a very large number of people with college attending kids still claim them as dependents. For example, a kid gets a scholarship to Notre Dame, Boston College, or Stanford. That scholarship is worth the full tuition, about $60,000. Some minority family making $40,000 a year will have to pay taxes like they made $100,000. Federal taxes may gobble up 75% of what they make, since the $60,000 scholarship provides zero actual income, cash that is. These unionized athletes might be economically restricted to Community Colleges, where the scholarship value would be significantly less.
