Northwestern became the focal SRLQW RI WKH ODERU ¿JKW LQ -DQXDU\ 2014, when a handful of football players called the NCAA a “dicta- torship” and announced plans to IRUP WKH ¿UVW 86 ODERU XQLRQ for college athletes.

A month later, foot- ball players cast secret ballots on whether to unionize. Those ballots were sealed during the appeal and will now be destroyed. Colter said he was disappointed with the ruling but did not regard it as a “complete loss.” Rather, he said, the NLRB simply “punted the EDOOGRZQWKH¿HOG´SUHVHUYLQJWKH possibility that the effort could be revived in the future. University spokesman Alan K. Cubbage thanked the players for “bringing national attention to these important issues” but said collective bargaining is “not the appropriate methods to address the concerns.” Cubbage said the university would work with the athletes to address questions about the long- term health impact of intercolle- giate sports, including providing additional academic aid. 8QGHU86ODZDQHPSOR\HHLV regarded as someone who, among other things, receives compensation for a service and is under the direct control of managers.

The NCAA recently cleared the ZD\ IRU WKH ¿YH ELJJHVW FRQIHU- ences, including the Big Ten, to add player stipends to help athletes defray some of their expenses. 6RXWKHDVWHUQ &RQIHUHQFH VFKRROV for example, will give some athletes $3,000 to $5,500 each on top of a scholarship that pays for tuition, room, board and books. Northwestern, the Big Ten and the NCAA all argued against the unionization effort, saying that lumping college athletes into the same category as factory workers would transform amateur athletics for the worse. At one point, Northwestern administrators sent a document to players outlining potential pitfalls, noting that player strikes could lead to the spectacle of replacement players.
