McCormack v. National Collegiate Athletic Association: College Athletics Sanctions from an Antitrust and Civil Rights Perspective.

Bhirdo, Kelly W.; And Others

Journal of College and University Law, v15 n4 p459-76 Spr 1989

As a penalty for violations, the NCAA cancelled SMU's football program for 1987 and limited the 1988 season. An alumnus filed a class action alleging antitrust violations of price-fixing and group boycott. Issues of antitrust standing, violation and state action, and the court's handling of these issues are discussed. (Author/MLW)
