Dartmouth basketball players are school employees the NLRB rules

This will devastate college athletics more than NIL ever did. This NLRB ruling will likely end 90% if collegiate athletic programs across the US. LSU will just shut down most of their athletic programs IMO.
CBS SPORTS: How a ruling that Dartmouth basketball players are school employees, can join union may change college sports
"The schools will have to pay the players," Michael Hsu, a former University of Minnesota regent who supported the Dartmouth complaint, told CBS Sports. "Minimum wage is what it is, minimum wage. Some players may make only minimum wage. Other ones, there will be a lot of competition over. This gives them a chance to use the athletic director's budget to pay players."
Such a vote could lead to a domino effect around the country. Dartmouth is in the Ivy League, a group of private schools who all have similar profiles. They do not offer scholarships and by and large their sports don't produce revenue. That didn't matter to the NLRB official who focused on the work the athletes put in.
"[Players] perform work in exchange for compensation," NLRB regional manager Laura Sacks ruled on Monday.

I believe this will escalate to the SCOTUS who may rule differently, but then again given Kavanaughs explanation on NIL, maybe not. It ain’t gonna be pretty for CFB if they uphold the decision.

Everybody go dust off their old PS3 and find you copy of NCAA football 09 and remember the glory days of college football.

I love that these rulings always seem to happen at schools that can afford them the least.

Didn’t the NCAA pass some initial legislation saying that in 2027 division 1 universities can directly pay nil deals and have set aside 100k per athlete in a trust for said athlete???

It may get weird for the Ivy League and Patriot League because they don’t offer scholarships, so they can’t claim players are already getting compensated.
Any school actually providing scholarships can nickel and dime the NLRB to death showing compensation that takes these kids near or above minimum wage.

I won't lose a wink of sleep if college athletics is blown up and we're just left with club-level athletics.

LSU can still play TAMU in front of 90,000 people can so can Michigan and Ohio State in front of 111, 000. You just won't be seeing the best athletes, but you can still see a competitive game and have school spirt and so on with bands and cheerleaders and tailgate. You just won't be seeing the same caliber of athletes. Hell, you can make a slow pitch softball game a matter of life and death if you want.

Interesting to see if Ivy League schools decide to end athletics since they don’t offer scholarships. Curious how many people who would have gone to Ivy League schools because of sports will now not have degrees from Ivy schools

Wait till players get 1099s for ankle taping and things like that. They may end up owing huge money in taxes. No one seems to be accounting for how much money is spent on each athlete, as well as how many programs don't turn a profit.
