"Dartmouth Basketball Team Makes History by Unionizing: What's Next for College Sports?"

The men's basketball team at Dartmouth College made history by voting 13-2 to unionize, a move that could potentially classify student-athletes as employees under federal labor law. The players hope this will set a precedent for athletes across the Ivy League and the rest of the country. However, Dartmouth has filed an appeal to the National Labor Relations Board, and there is no visible movement to organize by other Dartmouth teams, leaving the outcome uncertain in the midst of challenges to the amateur model of college sports.
