Dartmouth Men’s Basketball: How Would Unionization Impact College Sports?
How will the Dartmouth men’s basketball team’s move toward unionization affect college sports?
College sports are witnessing a significant transformation as student-athletes begin to assert their rights in unprecedented ways. From NIL (name, image, likeness) rights to the recent vote by the Dartmouth men's basketball team to unionize, the landscape of college sports is rapidly evolving.
Zach Aman, an attorney with The Spiggle Law Firm, returns to the podcast to explore the additional questions this move raises. And there are so many questions and complexities.
College sports are undeniably a staple of American culture. It is also increasingly becoming a battleground for labor rights and a testing ground for evolving employment laws. As this narrative unfolds, it will inspire debate, influence policy, and, most importantly, redefine the collegiate athletic experience for student-athletes and institutions alike.
