Apparently so.
The "legitimacy" of the Nic is a subjective and thus arguable concept unless the arbitrators are compelled to incorporate that in pure form in their final ISL. They are not and HAVE not by anyone including the 9th. The fact that the 9th appellate went to great measure to ensure their ruling would not be construed as such says as much about the ruling as their enjoinment of the Nic to USAPA.
Perhaps the euphoria of that ruling and the subsequent and repetitive hangovers that are resulting from its aftermath is altering your comprehension ?
