This podcast episode explores the debate over whether college athletes should be classified as employees and given the right to unionize. The case of Dartmouth College is highlighted, where athletes argue that they should be classified as employees due to the time and effort they dedicate to their sport. A memo issued by a Biden appointee to the National Labor Relations Board supports this argument. The episode also discusses the financial implications and potential consequences of unionizing college athletes, as well as the history of the term "student-athlete" and its impact on college athletes' rights.
