Northwestern University's legal team faces

Northwestern University's legal team faces a tough battle to get Wednesday's reasoned appeal to overturn the ruling, Lester Munson writes. Story

Another reason is that this decision will set a stack of case law, the court ruled that student-athletes are not employees side. This will be a major cause
of the executive branch (NLRB) appropriated justice. If this happens, be sure to back to court to Northwestern, where in this case, the law may have more
sway.

Moreover, even if the court to overturn case law and rules, players can form unions, thus changing the character of intercollegiate sports, do not you think
the legislative branch (Congress) will join the fun?

So, nothing happened for a long time.
But the most interesting law here is the law of unintended consequences may be of.

For example, the National Labor Relations Board favoring Colt. And let's say that they vote authorized college athletes Players Association to represent
them.

Mr. Ohr see how to make their own decisions. He explained how they hire contract (scholarship), under the control of the other party (the coach), and to
provide services in post-paid ($ 61,000 per academic year in the northwest; 76,000 of those players who attend summer school).

Stanford University, published a statement on Wednesday it said, "Stanford student athletes through the same admissions process non-student athlete must be
held once admit the same academic requirements."

But Mr. Ohr ruled footballer is not primarily students, on the grounds that the level of the sport in the FBS time requirements. Mr. Ohr spent four single
sheets describe the 12-month Wildcats football player workload. This is typical of any FBS school, and should be read before any parent, he or she signed the
assistance grants.

But in the workload of non-revenue sports college athletes are also extreme. They also signed a service contract execution. They are controlled by the coach
and the payment in return. By these criteria, they should join a union.

Do men's and women's tennis team football team required to obtain the same benefits? Do non-revenue athletes, who are excellent figures, took over the
league? The athletic department must deal with different unions in each sport?

Another former Northwestern quarterback, CJ Bacher, issued a statement, there is "overwhelming consensus" with his former Wildcat student-athletes spoke up,
they have a "great concern" what might happen in their One of his alma mater.

The ruling covered up or ignored a lot, although they may not be concerned about Mr. Ohr, certainly involve the rest of interscholastic sports and other
issues.
