The NCAA might have a battle on their hands and the opponent comes in the form of sports labor attorney Jeffrey Kessler. Kessler filed suit against the NCAA and five of the major conferences in sports on the basis that putting a cap on what an athlete can make in the form of a scholarship is an antitrust violation. This case holds water over the other suits due to the fact that Kessler is not seeking damages for the players, but he seeks to change the system and end the NCAA.

Kessler spoke to ESPN about the suit and had a lear agenda with this suit.

"The main objective is to strike down permanently the restrictions that prevent athletes in Division I basketball and the top tier of college football from being fairly compensated for the billions of dollars in revenues that they help generate. In no other business -- and college sports is big business -- would it ever be suggested that the people who are providing the essential services work for free. Only in big-time college sports is that line drawn."

The suit specifically names the conferences they are targeting as well as the players Kessler is representing. The list includes the NCAA, SEC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12, and ACC and Kessler is representing Rutgers forward J.J. Moore, Clemson DB Martin Jenkins, UTEP TE Kevin Perry, and Cal tight end William Tyndall. Kessler also said that he hopes that this suit turns into a case for all FBS football players and Division-1 basketball players.

Kessler is no stranger to the spotlight as he was a part of the players fight to get free agency in the NFL and also aided in the MLB’s free agency process. This is just the beginning and the players have the right names in their corner now. This could get interesting very quick and very well could be the beginning go the end for the NCAA as we know it.
