Docket No.15-1167
Op. Below9th Cir.

Issue

(1) Whether, in determining an appropriate remedy for a violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act under the "Rule of Reason," a court may treat the restraint itself " here, the agreement among the NCAA and its members prohibiting college athlete compensation, or what the NCAA calls "amateurism" " as a legitimate procompetitive effect: and (2) whether, after finding a violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act under the Rule of Reason, a court is restricted to awarding relief that the plaintiff proves is "virtually as effective" as the restraint in serving its alleged purposes, "without significantly increased cost."
