Salaries?  That is jumping to a conclusion,  The regional NLRB official who deemed the Dartmouth players to be employees did so [B]not[/B] on the basis of any salary, but on other things he deemed to be—erroneously in my opinion— “compensation”.

I was a varsity athlete at Dartmouth, and was grateful for the recreational opportunity.  I never thought of myself as an employee.  But that was over a half century ago, and I accept change even when I disagree with it.

This will be litigated to death for years, but in the meantime I have at least one serious concern: athletes in the U.S. on student visas.  By law they cannot be employed, or they loose their visa and must leave the country.  If a team votes to unionize, it will take some very clever legal maneuvering to find a way for foreign players outside of right to work states to play without being classed as employees
