Episode Synopsis
Send us a textThis episode tackles a basic question that could have a massive impact on the future of college sports-- are college athletes employees? I'm joined by Paul McDonald, the attorney currently leading the fight for college athletes to be classified as employees, We discuss why Paul thinks his current lawsuit—Johnson v NCAA—will be successful and lead to employee status for college athletes, what employee status would mean for college athletes, and what it all means in the big picture of athlete compensation, name, image and likeness, and the future of college sports.
