re: Northwestern players denied request to form first union for athletes

Reading between the lines, Northwestern players were going to vote down unionizing anyway. NLRB punted so as not to have a precedent just hanging out there, waiting for another school to try it.

The union is the wrong tact anyway. It's a loser for the players. Keep up the lawsuits to bring down the NCAA. It's only just begun. It's really amazing the NCAA is legal when you stop to think about it: it's this giant restraint on trade designed to deprive the labor in an industry of compensation on the grounds its good for them. Good luck with that.

Eventually, the restrictions on selling your autograph and prohibitions on outside compensation are going to get destroyed by the courts.
