The NLRB yesterday issued a complaint against the NCAA, Pac-12 and USC, alleging they have unlawfully misclassified college athletes as student-athletes rather than employees in football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball, according to USA Today’s Berkowitz and several other outlets. The three entities will go before an administrative law judge on November 7. At that hearing, Berkowitz reports the “NLRB’s general counsel Jennifer Abruzzo will be seeking an order requiring those three entities to ‘reclassify the Players as employees rather than as ‘student-athletes’ in their files, including, but not limited to, their handbooks and rules, and notify all current Players that they have done so,’” according to the complaint. More from Berkowitz. (link); Tulane Sports Law Director Feldman adds more context: “The complaint also states USC, Pac-12, & NCAA are joint employers of the college athletes. This is significant because the NLRA only applies to private employers. But if athletes at public schools are jointly employed by the conference and NCAA, then the NLRA would apply to all. To be clear, this formal complaint was inevitable once the Regional NLRB Director found merit to the unfair labor practice charge back in December. Unless USC had settled the case (which was highly unlikely), this complaint was coming.” More from Feldman. (link)

U.S. Senator Graham (R-SC) has introduced a NIL bill that would establish an NIL clearinghouse, which would have the power to fine anyone, sue anyone and ban anyone from participating in college athletics, according to On3’s Nakos, who adds: “A source provided On3 with the draft, which would basically establish another version of the NCAA to preside over name, image and likeness activity. The bill outlines various restrictions on student-athletes and includes the following specific language: “The NIL Clearinghouse shall carry out enforcement actions for any violation of this Act, including by levying fines, imposing penalties, including suspension or a permanent ban of an individual or entity from participation in varsity intercollegiate sports competition for a period determined by the NIL Clearinghouse and commencing civil actions and seeking all appropriate legal, equitable, or other relief, including damages and injunctions.” (link, link)
