Oregon St. women's basketball players petitioning to unionize could set a playbook for athletes—including football players—at other public universities to try the same.
This is a big deal for women's basketball and an even bigger deal for college sports:

The United College Athletes Association announced today that college women’s basketball players launched the first unionization effort in women’s college sports. Members of the Oregon State women’s basketball team filed a petition for union representation with the Oregon Employment Relations Board (ERB), marking a formal effort by women’s college athletes to seek collective bargaining rights under state law.
More than 100 college women’s basketball players are said to be participating.
College players need and deserve a voice, now more than ever as the future of college athletics is being shaped. I’m proud to be an advisor to the UCAA and fully support the mission.
Oregon State women's basketball players make history as they move for unionization.
Very important thing: Oregon State is a public university.
That means this is a question of state law, not federal law.
That's huge.
