So, this, while being the right thing from a human perspective, is going to be an absolute disaster for small schools trying to keep on par with billion dollar athletic programs.
Per the Supreme Court today (9-0), NCAA scholarship athletes can receive tens of thousands of dollars in "additional education related benefits" from any school that can offer it to them. From housing to technology, to food and, presumably, cash for books and other items, NCAA athletes can now go to the highest bidder.
So, to recap, there is no longer any reason to not enter the transfer portal every year and see who bites because there is no loss of eligibility and now a school like U of I, Baylor or North Carolina can come in and just offer these athletes a hundred grand in perks and upgrades that small schools couldn't possibly afford.
Bad news, team.

High court rules against NCAA on compensation
In a ruling that could help push changes in college athletics, the Supreme Court on Monday unanimously sided with a group of former college athletes in a dispute with the NCAA over rules limiting certain compensation.
