Let's say that the NLRB sides with Colter

Let's say that the NLRB sides with Colter. And let's say that they vote to authorize the College Athletes Players Association to represent them.
Look at how Ohr made his decision. He illustrated how they perform services under a contract of hire (scholarship), subject to the other party's control
(coaches) and in return for payment ($61,000 per academic year at Northwestern; $76,000 for those players who attend summer school).
Stanford released a statement Wednesday in which it said, "Stanford student-athletes go through the same admission process as non-student-athletes and must
meet the same academic requirements once admitted."
But Ohr ruled that the football players are not primarily students, citing the time demands of the sport at the FBS level. Ohr spent four single-spaced pages
describing the 12-month workload of the Wildcat football player. It is typical of any FBS school, and it should be must reading for any parent before he or
she signs the grant-in-aid.
But the workload of the college athletes in non-revenue sports is also extreme. They also sign that contract to perform services. They are subject to the
control of the coaches, and in return for payment. By these criteria, they deserve to join the union, too.
Do the men's and women's tennis teams demand the same benefits that the football team gets? Do the non-revenue athletes, who are superior in numbers, take
over the union? Will the athletic department have to deal with a different union in each sport?
Another former Northwestern quarterback, C.J. Bacher, released a statement that there is "overwhelming consensus" among the former Wildcat student-athletes
with whom he has spoken that they have a "great deal of concern" about what could happen to their alma mater.
The ruling glosses over or ignores a lot of other issues that, while they might not concern Ohr, certainly concern the rest of intercollegiate athletics.
