This week we continue our discussion of unionization efforts in college athletics. In March a regional director of the National Labor Relations Board in Chicago ruled that players at Northwestern University could be considered employees of the school and eligible to form labor unions. The NCAA and Northwestern have both appealed this decision. Players on the team have cast secret ballots to decide if they want to form a union. Those votes won’t be counted until the lengthy appeals process is over. Joining us to continue our conversation of this issue are Tim Crothers, former senior writer at Sports Illustrated, and Jason Kahn, sports reporter at the CBS affiliate in Tallahassee, Florida.
