National Labor Relations Board regional director Peter Sung Ohr ruled in March that Northwestern's scholarship football players are employees of the university, and he ordered a player vote on whether to form a union. The NLRB subsequently granted a request by the university for a full-board review of Ohr's decision, but players cast ballots two weeks on whether to unionize. Because of Northwestern's challenge, the ballots were impounded by the NLRB and unlikely to be counted until the full board issues a decision.

In front of Congress: Stanford athletics director Bernard Muir, "I just know that from our board of trustees, our president, our provost, the Stanford culture, it just wouldn't be appropriate to deem student-athletes as employees," Muir said. "We would deem that inappropriate, so for that purpose we would have to look at other alternatives."
