Daily News | Opposing athletes’ wages in a Philly federal courtroom, NCAA endures tough day
Wednesday afternoon’s hearing on the 19th floor of the U.S. Federal Courthouse at Sixth and Market was a seemingly minor step in RALPH “TREY” JOHNSON, Plaintiff, v. NATIONAL COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION, et al, Defendants.
Judge Theodore McKee cut Katz off pretty quickly: “What’s legal and what’s practical here” isn’t the same thing at all, the judge suggested.The judges came at the case from different angles, with different questions. You’d expect that from judges appointed by Presidents Clinton, Obama and Trump. They were all versed in the case and the college sports landscape – a landscape on trial, across the land.
“Let’s assume we live in a fantasy world,” McKee said at one point. “March Madness was called March Waste of Time.” “How are they not employees?” McKee asked, after already batting aside the potential Title IX implications by asking if there aren’t already discrepancies such as the different weight facilities at last season’s NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments.
