Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4468236, member: 5798"] An effort to legally recognize college football [B]and basketball players[/B] at the University of Southern California as employees of their school, their conference and the NCAA took a significant step forward Thursday. The National Labor Relations Board has directed its Los Angeles regional office to pursue charges of unfair labor practices against USC, the Pac-12 and the NCAA. The NLRB will argue that athletes at USC are employees of those three groups and that their rights have been unlawfully restricted. If they are successful, athletes who play men's basketball, [B]women's basketball[/B] or football at any private college in the NCAA will be granted the rights of employees, including the freedom to create unions.
