Classy Sports Law History host Jaime Miettinen (aka Sports Law Blonde) chats w/s/g attorney Rick Miettinen (aka MY DAD!) about whether student-athletes should be viewed as "employees" of the universities they attend under the law while drinking beer on his patio. Specifically, we look at two cases that the Supreme Court of Colorado ruled on in the 1950s that inspired one of the NCAA's favorite phrases - "student-athlete" - & compare them to present day.
