Dartmouth men’s basketball team made history by becoming the first NCAA team to vote for unionization. The National Labor Relations Board certified a union to represent the players, but Dartmouth has refused to negotiate with the union. This move could challenge the NCAA's amateurism model, with public opinion divided on college athletes unionizing. A ruling at USC may pave the way for unionization of all college athletes.

A regional office of the National Labor Relations Board has ruled that Dartmouth College’s men’s basketball players are employees and have the right to unionize.
