NLRB: Football players at FBS private schools are "employees"

Btw, ACC wins big if the P5 splits the tourney revenue. That all goes to NCAA right now.

Paying athletes might force Wake (and the rest of the 17) out of the NCAA. The "student athletes" at public schools would not be allowed to play against the "employees" of the 17 private schools.

If the Privates were forced out, they could create their own conference. Kinda spread out all over the country, but some pretty good teams for football, basketball and some other sports.
The Private 17.

Good logic. Much easier to schedule tournaments.
And the tournies would be better without Duke.
