Two former college athletes are represented by two law firms that already won a case against the NCAA in front of the Supreme Court.
The NCAA has enjoyed great success on its playing fields; from the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments to the soon-to-be expanding college football playoffs, and everything in between. But at the same time the governing body of college athletics has had little to no success in the courtrooms, and for the NCAA things could be getting worse.
Former Oklahoma State running back Chuba Hubbard, now with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers, and former Auburn track athlete Keira McCarrell are the plaintiffs in a new suit against the NCAA and its five biggest and most profitable conferences. They are seeking retroactive education-related payments for themselves and other athletes.
McCann spoke with Scripps News about the recent rulings that have shaped players' rights in the NCAA, and what they mean for college athletes going forward.

Supreme Court hears mail carrier's religious tolerance caseThe Supreme Court is being asked to decide under what circumstances businesses must accommodate the needs of religious employees. A case before the justices Tuesday involves a Christian mail carrier in rural Pennsylvania. He was told that as part of his job he’d need to start delivering Amazon.com packages on Sundays. He declined, saying his Sundays are for church and family. U.S. Postal Service officials initially tried to get substitutes for the man’s shifts, but they couldn’t always. When he didn’t show, that meant more work for others. Ultimately, the man quit and sued for religious discrimination. The case is the latest religious clash the high court has been asked to referee.
