"The court has already ruled in our favor that the caps on compensation are anti-competitive and are a restrain on trade," said Steve Berman, a Seattle-based lawyer who is one of the lead attorneys for the plaintiffs. "Normally, firms with market power can't agree to set prices. In this case the price being payments to athletes. Now it's the NCAA's burden at this trial to show that the restraint is justified by some pro-competitive justification."
