Unless you only want to play with Stanford, Northwestern, Duke, Notre Dame, Boston College, Baylor, BYU, USC, TCU and a few other schools.

The NLRB ruling only affects private schools, but student athletes at public universities are still free to try and unionize according to the rules and laws of their respective states. There are lots of graduate student unions, for example, at public universities, even in labor hostile states like Texas.
