A hearing to determine whether the NCAA and the Pac-12 must reclassify USC football and basketball athletes as employees could have significant ramifications for college sports.
The battle for college athlete rights is playing out on multiple fronts — federal courts, the halls of Congress, state legislatures and through the National Labor Relations Board. The NLRB front takes center stage Tuesday in Los Angeles, where the L.A. Region office will hear a case involving allegations that the USC football and men’s and women’s basketball players are employees within the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act.
They have also called it a potential 1st Amendment violation, forcing them to endorse a new label for athletes they do not agree with. The groups are asking Congress to save them with a law that specifies athletes are not employees. During a recent U.S. Senate hearing on the future of college sports, Huma was a panelist and was frustrated at the way he heard the issue being painted — but not surprised. “There was a pointed effort to cast employee status as bad for college athletes,” Huma said.
