The Dartmouth men's basketball team has voted to unionize, potentially changing the landscape of college sports. This move could lead to college athletes being treated as employees, sparking discussions and congressional hearings on safeguarding student-athletes from NLRB misclassification. The NCAA Tournament is also expected to expand, with discussions leaning towards a field of 72 or 76 teams.

The logic+economic benefit of expanding the NHL playoff is so obvious it’s amazing anyone is against it. Keeping up to eight more fanbases engaged deeper into the season with the expanded race is $ the league shouldn’t turn away from. Not to mention $ for playoff gms 1/

College sports in 2024: So on one hand, there’s going to be a hearing next week titled “Safeguarding student-athletes from NLRB misclassification.” And on the flip side, a Senator just came out and called on colleges to stop lobbying Congress. https://t.co/49nUxOfpNk

Incredible idea by @FriedgeHNIC on playoff expansion in the NHL. If owners love it and that conversation picks up is Bettman staying firm. I’d love to see an open poll from the owners. https://t.co/SpeW69yUbV
Yay, another congressional hearing on college sports. https://t.co/rkdpFinkZt
The NLRB has taken the first step in erasing the amateur tradition in college sports in its never ending quest to bend the knee to Union bosses. Next week, @EdWorkforceCmte will show the American people just how terrible this decision is for all student-athletes. More:… https://t.co/n7d0dvioal

YES, the NCAA Tournament should be expanded and here's how they should do it.👇 1) Start in October and include 362 teams across 32 conferences 2) Each team plays 30-31 games against others in the 362 team field 3) After those games, each conference plays it's own tournament -…
Still potentially a long road ahead, and more exciting developments to come, but this may be the single most important step to-date in challenging the exploitation that defines college sport. Well done, Dartmouth men's basketball campus athletic workers. https://t.co/ikSysF2eQw
Get pumped, Dartmouth! In all seriousness, as an alumnus, I'm proud that they're at the forefront of this. I'm not sure what's going to happen from here, but the tides are changing in college athletics, and the status quo was not sustainable. https://t.co/K9LTePR6m7 https://t.co/p1UbSDVnUV
“I think it would make more money. I think it’s better for television.” @FriedgeHNIC is all for expanding the playoffs with more teams. Noted traditionalist @BizNasty2point0 not so much. https://t.co/dCv00oMt3i https://t.co/kJUasC7IoC
Hello from a very cold and rainy Dartmouth campus. I'm sitting outside the building where the Darmouth men's basektball union vote will take place with a small group of reporters. The election will be open for 90 minutes. Three players have just arrived.

News: NCAA Tournament expansion is likely coming. What's the magic bracket number? https://t.co/dH7pbyJvcN
Counterpoint. Let's expand the play-in round to make it for the final 12 at-large spots. Think of the interest and ratings. https://t.co/XYgugw6COA
The Dartmouth case will be way more influential in how it shapes the Overton window for college athlete organizing/employment classification/legislation ELSEWHERE than it will be for the employment of these Dartmouth basketball players, specifically. https://t.co/PYbjn8mYw3
There is almost no chance that the Dartmouth hoops players don't vote for the union. It's going to be a huge moment. But also (and I hate to be a wet blanket because it's cool!) the whole game here is going to be the monthslong appeal to the top of the NLRB
The NCAA Tournament will likely expand with an unexpected number of new teams, and it's a very stupid idea. DETAILS: https://t.co/ffrrfooV9C https://t.co/sExfGzdPa5
