A federal judge dismissed a class action lawsuit from current and former student athletes challenging the Ivy League's ban on sport scholarships, stating that the plaintiff's arguments did not demonstrate an antitrust violation or impairment of competition. The courts suggested that enforcing an athletic scholarship policy was not likely to harm market dynamics, thus affirming the league's stance.
The plaintiffs claimed that by disallowing athletic scholarships, the Ivy League institutions engaged in price-fixing that denied athletes appropriate financial support. However, their lawsuit was rejected, emphasizing a lack of evidence showcasing competitive harm resulting from the league's policies.
