U.S. appeals court leaves open possibility of college athletes being deemed employees

[Jason Svoboda]

The plaintiffs in Johnson v. NCAA – former Villanova football player Trey Johnson and other Division I athletes – are asking that athletes be deemed employees subject to the FLSA. That requires covered employees to be paid minimum wage and overtime pay, much like non-athletes at colleges who participate in work-study programs.

That is FCS Villanova for those that think this won't apply to Indiana State football.

It'll be applicable to ALL colleges (NCAA FBS, FCS, D2, D3), NAIA, NJCAA, USCAA), any institution that offers athletics AND academics... how can it not?
