I just hope we dont end up D2. This ruling is a potential step in that direction. If D1 college athletes ARE school employees and must be paid, the D2 athletic landscape will get much larger, in my opinion. If the ruling extends to D2, there will be less basketball in the world.

I don't think these smart Ivy League guys have thought this issue through to its logical conclusion. If playing a sport as a condition of receiving financial aid is employment, then the financial aid is taxable income. And if a condition of receiving financial aid for athletics makes the student an employee, then any academic condition imposed upon any scholarship recipient makes that student an employee and all aid taxable income. But enjoy the SEIU at Dartmouth. You've just made school endowment income tax free, but scholarship aid will become taxable.
