NLRB Ruling Paves Way for College Athletes to Unionize

The National Labor Relations Board issued a complaint against the NCAA, Pac-12, and USC for unfair labor practices regarding football, men's basketball, and women's basketball players.
If the athletes are considered employees, they could organize and bargain collectively against schools for more of the revenue generated annually by college sports.
The NCAA believes classifying athletes as employees could lead to a system where athletes are fired for poor performance and create issues for international athletes and Title IX compliance.
The decision to pursue all three groups as joint employers means all college athletes could gain the right to unionize from this case.
The complaint currently only applies to football, men's basketball, and women's basketball players.
