I'm no lawyer or anything close but are these rulings that make unionizing possible also making the players employees of the university?
Well if they are employees shouldn't they also be paying taxes on the value of their scholarships? They are employees in essence being paid to play so wouldn't that be taxable income?
I would think they have to declare the $15 grand as income why not their scholarship?
Just a thought in the back of my mind, am I way off base?
