Ruling in Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, on May 14, 2018, the majority opinion declared that “When a State completely or partially repeals old laws banning sports gambling schemes, it ‘authorize[s]’ those schemes under PASPA; PASPA’s provision prohibiting state authorization of sports gambling schemes violates the anticommandeering rule.”
The questions presented were:
- “[W]hether the decision below should be affrmed on an alternative ground.”
- “[W]hether our decision regarding the anti-authorization provision dooms the remainder of PASPA.”
