Just passing on some food for thought. Today's Almanac comments raises an issue that would be problematic for many teams including our women who have multiple international players. The Dartmouth case seeking employee status for basketball players raises ancillary issues. For the men's team, Roumoglou this year at least. Our roster lists Samson Johnson as Togo, and Singare as Mali, so they could be on visas as well.
"Another question to resolve would involve the status of international players, who are in the United States via F-1 student visas. The current rule is that those who are on those visas can only work 20 hours per week. However, if players are ruled to be employees, that might put their visa and overall legal status in jeopardy in this country. Four Dartmouth players are on these visas."
Sort of adds more importance to an already important case
