BOSTON -- The Dartmouth men's basketball team dropped its attempt to form a union Tuesday, voluntarily ending a push to become the first college sports team to unionize in order to avoid a potentially damaging precedent from a National Labor Relations Board that soon will be controlled by Republicans.

Lawyers for Service Employees International Union Local 560 withdrew their NLRB petition rather than take their chances in front of an unfriendly labor board.
