Stony Brook athletic director Shawn Heilbron, who chairs the NCAA’s Student-Athlete Experience Committee, says college sports leaders must continue to maximize the fund’s flexibility for the benefit of athletes.īut Ramogi Huma, the executive director of the National College Players Association, says that the NCAA may already be too flexible on this front, allowing schools to tap into the SAF to pay for things he argues ought to come out of their general athletic department budgets. Until now, institutions have been paying for this coverage out of their student assistance fund monies. Earlier this month, Sportico reported on how the case might open the door for schools to pay for athlete loss-of-value insurance out of their sports budgets. The Alston ruling could directly change how schools allocate their SAF spending. That decision, accompanied by Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s concurring opinion impugning the foundation of amateurism, has now led to a host of yet-unanswered questions about how schools will be able to spend money on athletes. In its 9-0 ruling for the athletes last month, the Supreme Court specifically cited the SAF as among the reasons why the NCAA’s cap on “education-related benefits” was an unreasonable violation of U.S. Nevertheless, Rascher’s SAF argument proved salient through the Alston trial and the appeal process. “From the NCAA’s perspective, I imagine the thought went through their head that no good deed goes unpunished,” Rascher said in a recent interview. In essence, the SAF was acting as a mechanism of pay-to-play, albeit restricted to the limited funds available. In researching how schools spent those monies, Rascher found all kinds of purchases that well exceeded the athletes’ cost-of-attendance remittances and had little or nothing to do with their education. Schools’ specific SAF allocations are based on two different calculation formulas that factor in the institutions’ total number of Pell grant recipients, athletic scholarships and sport sponsorships.īut, as Rascher explained, the SAF also shows how tenuous the NCAA’s claim to amateurism really was.
