The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Wednesday to consider reinstating NCAA athletic scholarship caps struck down by a federal judge in California last year in a landmark ruling that was later affirmed on appeal.

The justices said they’ll review a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which in May upheld the ruling invalidating limitations on education-related compensation for college athletes while preserving the NCAA’s ban on outright pay.
