In a split decision, the three-judge panel ruled that U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken's plan -- which would allow schools to pay athletes as much as $5,000 annually, beyond the cost of attendance, for the use of their name, image and likeness -- was "erroneous."
Their main complaints against paying student athletes was a possible bigger legal mess if college sports lost its amateur status and didn't want the favoritism gap between student athletes and regular students to grow any larger.

Schools can still offer some compensation but it has to be as scholarships and not as cash.
