The following is an excerpt from the free version of the Extra Points newsletter that gets delivered to my email inbox roughly twice a week. I was expecting to read that the players determined they could do better in the free market than to rely on a union, but that was not what was happening. The full newsletter is available at this link: Extra Points
I posted this on the ISU Confidential Board as this is a big issue for college athletics and is worthy of discussion on this board. If you want to take the discussion in a political direction, I have posted the rest of the excerpt on the politics forum where you can discuss those aspects of the issue there. Please keep your responses on this board free of politics and focus on the impact this may have on college athletics going forward. Here's the link to the political part of the post on the Confidential Board.
The men’s basketball players at Dartmouth, who voted to unionize in 2023, have withdrawn their appeals to the National Labor Relations Board, effectively putting their efforts to bargain with the university on ice. Dartmouth had refused to bargain with the players, even after the athletes voted 13-2 to unionize. |
