Aside from the implications of the ruling in terms of organizing and labor rights, the most interesting thing would be if the NCAA were to ban private universities from competing if they did in fact provide what the NCAA considers to be extra benefits to student athletes, that are offered in order for said universities to be in good standing with the NLRB.
I mean how does the NCAA justify not allowing its private school members to comply with the NLRB? So if done right, this could end up as a giant recruiting advantage for private schools, as they offer better "working conditions" to their student athletes, and possibly more benefits. In any case, it certainly presents the possibility of quite a significant can o' worms for the NCAA and all its member FBS football schools.
