"Dartmouth Basketball Team's Unionization: A Game-Changer for College Sports"

The Dartmouth men’s basketball team has voted to unionize, marking a significant move in college sports. The National Labor Relations Board supervised the election, with the players voting 13-2 to join a labor union. This decision challenges the NCAA's amateur business model and could have far-reaching implications for college athletics. The NLRB's ruling that the players are university employees, despite not receiving athletic scholarships, has sparked debate and legal challenges. The NCAA maintains that college athletes are not employees, while legal experts suggest that without federal intervention, schools may have to reconsider their treatment of athletes.
