Dartmouth players drop bid for union
BOSTON — The Dartmouth men’s basketball team is dropping its attempt to unionize, ending a push to become the first college athletes to bargain for a contract in order to avoid a potentially damaging precedent from a National Labor Relations Board that soon will be controlled by Republicans.
Service Employees International Union Local 560 filed a request to withdraw the NLRB petition on Tuesday rather than take its chances with an unfriendly labor board.
“While our strategy is shifting, we will continue to advocate for just compensation, adequate health coverage, and safe working conditions for varsity athletes at Dartmouth,” local president Chris Peck said in a statement that called collective bargaining “the only viable pathway to address issues” facing college athletics today.
The Dartmouth players petitioned the labor board in 2023 for the right to unionize, saying the New Hampshire school exercised so much control over their schedules and working conditions that they met the legal definition of employees. A regional official agreed, and the team voted 13-2 in March to join SEIU Local 560, which already represents some Dartmouth workers.
The school said it would refuse to bargain with the players in an attempt to force the case into federal court. Before sitting down at the bargaining table, the players would need favorable decisions from an NLRB that currently has two openings that will be filled by President-elect Donald Trump.
A Dartmouth spokeswoman could not immediately be reached for comment. The school had previously said, “Athletes in the Ivy League are not employees,” calling them “students whose educational program includes athletics.”
Cade Haskins and Romeo Myrthil, the two Dartmouth players who initiated the union effort, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press.
“By filing a request to withdraw our petition today, we seek to preserve the precedent set by this exceptional group of young people on the men’s varsity basketball team,” Peck said. “They have pushed the conversation on employment and collective bargaining in college sports forward and made history by being classified as employees, winning their union election 13-2, and becoming the first certified bargaining unit of college athletes in the country.”
The Dartmouth case threatened to upend the NCAA’s amateur model, in which players are considered “student-athletes” who were in school primarily to study. As college sports has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry — richly rewarding coaches and schools — the players remained unpaid.
Recent court decisions have chipped away at that framework, with players now allowed to profit off their name, image and likeness and earn a still-limited stipend for living expenses beyond the cost of attendance. The NCAA has been lobbying Congress to preserve the amateur model, an approach that becomes more likely with Republican control.
A college athletes union would be unprecedented in American sports. A previous attempt to unionize the Northwestern football team failed because opponents in the Big Ten Conference include public schools that aren’t under the jurisdiction of the NLRB. — AP

Been watching & following North Carolina more closely now as I'll be ve$ted with my daughter heading there for grad school.
Many fans restless with Hubert Davis as coach. Handpicked by Roy W... Despite the tourney Final in '22 and beating Duke a few times, its been yo-yo and team is struggling hard this year..
Inability to land a center to replace Bacot and lack of in game structure are biggest challenges seen.RJ Davis shooting poorly trying to create. Ian Jackson would be amazing if he stayed in school but won't happen.
Maybe they turn it around, but even if don't I think he'll get at least one more year (current contract runs thru '27-'28 year) unless the big boosters really get pissy and don't want to support him and NIL needs.
Don't worry...still bleed red/white

️.. but added some Carolina blue
️ to wardrobe after being down here 12 years. We'll at least from the Christmas gifts my daughter got for me to wear...lol

Agree part of it is the overall offense is unstructured. Other part is Davis (4 ast) & Cadeau (6 ast) are the primary handlersIan Jackson is averaging 14 ppg with good percentages.

In Jackson's last 3 games where now getting 32+ min (last 2 are hus only starts) he's avg 25 ppg & 40% from 3. He's not perfect as still freshman type stuff but he's incredibly explosive.

Someone posted on this Board that Jackson has slipped downward on the draft boards and might not even be listed on some.
Carolina is lacking production form both the 4 and 5 spots which puts more presssure on Davis who is not playing up to his standards and Cadeau who is not a good shooter but can knock one down if people are leaving him to help on the bigs which they haven’t had to do this season.
Going w two talented, but small guards also has its challenges.
Only when they can’t shoot. Caddeau is shooting 23% from deep (up from 18.9% from last year) and RJ is shooting 28% on an absurd 7.7 shots per game. He’s literally shooting his team out of games this year.
