Ohio Labor Group Blasts College-Athlete Amendment - The Associated Press

A labor organization in Ohio is questioning a change made to a state budget bill that clarifies that college athletes are not employees under state law. The move by a House committee comes after last month's landmark decision by a National Labor Relations Board official involving the Northwestern University football team. The ruling says full scholarship players can be considered employees and thus can form a union. If the ruling holds up, it could have widespread repercussions in the multibillion-dollar college sports industry. http://www.wsaz.com/sports/headlines/Ohio-Budget-Bill-Says-College-Athletes-are-Not-Employees-254246691.html
