Union in college athletics. Hugely significant
II. DECISION
For the reasons discussed in detail below, I find that players receiving scholarships from the Employer are "employees" under Section 2(3) of the Act. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that an election be conducted under the direction of the Regional Director for Region 13 in the following appropriate bargaining unit:
Eligible to vote are all football players receiving football grant-in-aid scholarship and not having exhausted their playing eligibility employed by the Employer located at 1501 Central Street, Evanston, Illinois, but excluding office clerical employees and guards, professional employees and supervisors as defined in the Act.
V. CONCLUSION
Based on the foregoing and the entire record herein, I have found that all grant-in-aid scholarship players for the Employer's football team who have not exhausted their playing eligibility are "employees" under Section 2(3) of the Act. Thus, I direct an immediate election in this case.

Great! Unpaid athletes becoming part of a union. What could possibly go wrong?

Does Spurrier have a real twitter? I feel like the internet is about to get some truth dropped on it.

Arthur Lynch was a big part of this. I thought he would have dropped the ball on this too.

Wasn't it Grambling that had its players protest and they ended up not playing one of their games last season?

Time for the IRS to come in and start demanding back taxes for the benefits they've received. In NW's case, that's $61,000 a year in Scholarship monies, then add in benefits from medical, training, etc....

This will be awesome for about a month, then it will turn into a corrupt mob-infested extortion gang leading to a severe decline in product and extreme anticapitalist cronyism
