NLRB certifies Union to represent Dartmouth basketball

So now Dartmouth basketball players will be professionals. Last place in the Ivy League.  Amazing. Maybe they will go on strike if the Gatorade isn't to their liking.

The National Labor Relations Board on Thursday certified a union to represent Dartmouth basketball players after the deadline passed for the school to object to the election.



Big Green players voted 13-2 on March 5 to join the Service Employees International Union Local 560 -- the first ever labor union for college athletes. The March 12 deadline was for objections about the election process; the school has appealed to the full board an NLRB regional official's decision that the players are school employees.



Barring a successful appeal, the players and school will negotiate a collective bargaining agreement that would cover working conditions such as salary, practice hours and health care benefits.

Interesting. A solid player from Salesianum - Kareem Thomas —- has committed to Dartmouth. (Solid in that he is the best
Salesianum player since Donte but not as athletic). He should be first team All State in DE this year….(not that we crank out the ballplayers…)

Sounds like they need to spend more time in the gym and less time in the the bullshit.

Only if their collective bargaining agreement allows that...

How does Dartmouth navigate releasing players for academic issues and other issues? It would need to be arbitrated if they were not specifically stated in the bargaining agreement.

What a disaster college sports is turning into.
