Statement from the NCAA on the Johnson ruling today, reiterating its opposition to an employment model:

[Jay Bilas @JayBilas]

The NCAA loses in court, again. https://t.co/2Zte3heYAh

[Mit Winter @WinterSportsLaw]

This new proposed class action lawsuit against the NCAA, alleging unlawful use of former college athletes’ NILs in highlight videos, could be the next costly lawsuit for the organization and its members.

Courts are no longer buying the NCAA’s arguments.

[Mit Winter @WinterSportsLaw]

So the court acknowledged not all college sports, and not all college athletes, are the same.

And that some can be employees and some cannot.

Which was likely done on purpose to address arguments made to the court about what will happen if all college athletes are employees.

[Mit Winter @WinterSportsLaw]

One argument the NCAA makes in its opposition to college athlete employment is that if ALL college athletes are employees athletics programs will be eliminated.

I think the 3rd Circuit intentionally addressed this argument in its Johnson decision.👇

[Sam C. Ehrlich @samcehrlich]

Wanted to post this separately away from my larger thread.

This is how the Third Circuit has directed the lower court to determine which college athletes are employees, and which are not.

It's a broad test. And man, will there be a lot of scholarship/debate that comes from it.

[Ryan P. Mulvaney @ryanpmulvaney]

So much for the argument that #NIL is “killing college athletics” 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Mit Winter @WinterSportsLaw]

Now that the Dartmouth men’s basketball team has unionized, a big question is whether we’ll see similar efforts by athletes at other universities.

As I told @parker_purifoy, I think it’s likely we will.

And the pending USC NLRB proceeding could make that even more likely.

It has been incredible to hear Jennifer Abruzzo @NLRBGC give the keynote address at @CSRIConference! @NLRB

[Dr. Lisa M. Rubin @DrLisaRubin]

I’m so honored to receive the CSRI Research Fellow Award at the @CSRIConference! This is an amazing community of scholars that has embraced me since I presented my dissertation research 11 years ago at my first CSRI conference!

[Richard Southall @CSRISouthall]

@andyhre Look forward to hosting you next year!!

[B. David Ridpath @drridpath]

Watching @NLRBGC at @CSRIConference. Great stuff on why college athletes meet the statutory definition of employee based on working conditions and treatment.

[Mit Winter @WinterSportsLaw]

More evidence fans/consumers don’t care if college athletes are paid, whether it’s for #NIL or athletic performance.

In other words, “amateurism” does not create consumer demand for the product of college athletics.

It just prevents the athletes from being fairly compensated.

[Grace Kazmierski-Davie, PhD @gracekazdavie]

Incredible week at @CSRIConference! Presented a conceptual model with the best co-authors, @Sport_CSD, @SimranKaurSeth1, and Emily Padgett Plunkett.

So bummed I missed your amazing remarks!! @mollypageharry Congrats on earning the @CSRIConference Emerging Scholar Award 💯🙏🏽💯

[Amanda Christovich @achristovichh]

It’s amateur sports!!!! (but you can’t bring cups onto the court that conflict with the tv sponsor)

[Beth Cianfrone @BACianfrone]

Proud of this group that committed to prepping for a case study competition on their own during midterms, over our spring break, while juggling GA duties…and a team of four women winning 🔥.
be on the lookout for @GSUSportAdmin grads!
