An unfair labor practice charge has been filed against Notre Dame with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), alleging that the university has improperly classified its athletes as 'student-athletes' rather than employees. This charge, brought by the College Basketball Players Association and similar to existing complaints against institutions such as USC and the Pac-12, contends that this misclassification denies athletes their rightful employee rights.
