TL;DR Summary

The Dartmouth College men's basketball team voted 13-2 to become the first labor union for college athletes, potentially challenging the NCAA's model. The players sought unionization due to financial challenges despite their full-time commitment to the team. The National Labor Relations Board paved the way for the union vote, and the university has five days to file an objection. Experts anticipate other college athletes, particularly within the Ivy League, to petition for unionization following this historic vote.
