Recently, Dartmouth University men's basketball players voted to form a union, leading to an appeal by Dartmouth University against the National Labor Relations Board's decision recognizing the players as employees. The appeal follows a ruling by Region 1 of the NLRB on February 5.
Two distinct approaches are being considered by Dartmouth University's legal team for the upcoming appeal. The first approach aligns with the NCAA's stance, asserting that college athletes are amateurs and not employees. This viewpoint has faced challenges in recent legal battles, including the NCAA v. Alston case in the U.S. Supreme Court.
