Message: [QUOTE="NKR1978, post: 1006942, member: 186"] Gut response: if they're employees, it wouldn't be an educational program. As a liberal I feel comfortable saying that conservatives will sit back and get their popcorn watching unions and feminists go at each other over this. If athletics, particularly football/basketball, are considered a business and the athletes are employees, then I don't see how that could fall under Title IX, but who knows. This could touch so many things and negatively affect so many people that I bet the Northwestern athletes didn't consider. Unfortunately, the NCAA is so corrupt and resistant to change that this was likely the only option the athletes have to really shake things up. You can't go after the NCAA with a scalpel. You need a sledgehammer. [/QUOTE]
