NLRB rules that players are employees and can unionize. Appeals to follow.

If this holds up, it will be the end of the NCAA. But it will also mean that all athletic and potentially academic scholarships could be taxed as income.

Will be fun to watch.

I wonder what (if any) impact this will have on schools, like TN and FL where there is no state tax?

No state income tax, but I presume federal income tax would be fair game unless the IRS creates some sort of exemption for college student-athletes.

This will definitely get interesting. I have strong feelings fon both sides of the issue. You got to admit these athletes bring a lot of coin into these schools coffers.

The greed of major sports athletes will have negative ramifications for hundreds of other student-athletes at each and every school in America.
