Bowers v. National Collegiate Athletic Ass'n

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that we must decide Article III jurisdictional issues prior to other issues, but that we may assume statutory basis of jurisdiction
• holding that neither Title II nor Section 504 recognize implicit rights to contribution
• holding that “Title III defendants cannot be liable for money damages”
• holding there is no right to contribution under section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act or Title II of the ADA
• suggesting that courts may proceed to merits without addressing the issue of statutory, as opposed to constitutional, jurisdiction
• concluding that because the ADA does not include an express private right of action, the legislative history of the ADA “supports the inference that Congress intended to leave to the courts the task of defining the contours of liability––including the existence of a right to contribution”
