I know what you meant Pocono. That is why I have withdrawn my lead donation for the new Natatorium.

The players' union will wipe out any and all NCAA requirements. New day and new world. Hopefully, we can take advantage of the new union to upgrade our talent.

By definition a scholarship is now defined to be "pay" by the NLRB. The athlete is no longer a "student athlete", but rather, an employee. If they are an employee, they will no longer be required to take any classes. Because this ruling only applies only to private colleges then these colleges may not be subject to NCAA regulations if they unionize; however, public universities are subject to state law as to unionization regulations. If a state school does not/or cannot unionize then it stays with the NCAA, if so, then no NCAA as state law governs.

This all poses a potential quagmire of problems. If a private school unionizes then technically the union negotiates the salary and benefits. If ND, for example, provides more salary and benefits then they have a huge recruiting advantage over the private schools that cannot match and the public schools might really be left in the dust. Some public schools might be able to unionize and others not based on state law. In addition, state universities might be limited in negotiations by state law re salaries and benefits placing them at a tremendous disadvantage in recruiting. However, a traditional scholarship might be far more advantageous when factoring in the negative of of taxes, union dues and no academic results. Finally, we are assuming the union would be an athletes union, but I would submit that other private university unions and public unions would argue that the athletes must unionize only as a member of their existing state or university union. Specifically note that the Steelworkers Union is 100% bankrolling the Northwestern effort. So where does this leave the "student athlete" who traditionally received a tax free scholarship? Now his "pay" is subject to federal and state taxes and he must pay union dues. Where there are $$$$$$$$ at issue there will be mucho trouble.

As you know the natatorium project is near and dear to my heart so I will beg your forgiveness and spare me your wrath for your lead donation of one new kick board.
