WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The National Labor Relations Board decided not to assert jurisdiction in a case involving whether Northwestern University football players who received scholarships were employees. The NLRB said asserting jurisdiction would not promote labor stability due to the nature and structure of NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision, since 108 of 125 FBS teams are from state-run colleges and universities. “This decision is narrowly focused to apply only to the players in this case and does not preclude reconsideration of this issue in the future,” the NLRB said.
