Episode 65: Are College Athletes Employees? The Latest Legal Blow to the NCAA, with Labor Lawyer Josh Nadreau
Manage episode 428631036 series 3504598
On this episode, we tackle the recent Third Circuit decision in Johnson vs. NCAA, where the court held that the “frayed tradition of amateurism” does not prevent college athletes from being classified as employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The decision doesn’t mean that college athletes ARE now employees, but it means that they could be. What does it all mean and where do we go from here? To help me break it all down, I am joined by Joshua Nadreau, Regional Managing partner and Chair of the Labor Relations Group at Fisher Phillips.
