Didn't realize the NLRB had that much power.

All their head legal beagle has to do is issue an opinion letter and it's a done deal? No approvals, no appeal rights, no nothing?

Interesting.

Hasn't there already been much deliberation and listening to both sides on this issue?  I do believe when the NLRB rules, it is final.  And it makes sense, because you can't have these decisions be wishy-washy or subject to court review all the time.

But I do think the implications are that the NCAA would have to allow public schools the right to match the benefits the private schools are offering student athlete "employees."  Maybe the NCAA will wisen up and start instituting salary caps on coaching staffs because member schools are going to get killed if the "employees" can start gaining a share of the revenues.
