Bet Texas would be the first SEC team to take this route.

Interesting tweet from Matt Jones who went to Duke Law School…

This isn’t the first time the NLRB has recognized an employee argument by college athletes But this will ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court (likely against colleges) if Congress/NCAA don’t make decisions quickly

If the universities simply say, OK, we'll drop basketball."

and other schools do the same, this shite will stop.

I mean it probably will have to stop when universities won't be able to pay and/or provide benefits for literally thousands of athlete "employees" on-campus.

Don't think this also won't apply to women's basketball and the tennis team.
