Washington (CNN) The Supreme Court let stand a lower court opinion that said that the NCAA 's so called "amateur rules" that required that college students not be paid -- violate anti-trust laws. The opinion by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals said the NCAA could not limit schools from giving full scholarships including costs of attendance to students. The court ruled, however, that the schools did not have to hold deferred funds in a trust for athletes to cover up to $5,000 a year for name, image and likeness rights.
