They had mentioned health insurance, but at their age, they're either covered by their parents or have to buy into the university health plan. All our kids when they went to college had to have some sort of insurance, either through us or the college. None of them will likely ever move up in competition. With rare exceptions, ivy league athletes are there for the education. About the only result I can see from this is that Dartmouth will simply cut the sport ion the "demands" become onerous. When you look at the tenuous economics of a large number of colleges around the country, dropping some of the sports programs is a handy way to go, and if unions spread, this will give them a good excuse. The ramifications of this aren't good. [/QUOTE]
