What was over a year in the making finally came down on Monday morning, as the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued its ruling in the appeal of an earlier decision to allow Northwestern University football players to seek representation as a unionized group.
In the end, the Northwestern University appeal to the federal board made a big difference, as the board denied the petition for representation and effectively ended the hope of collective bargaining as a union at NU or anywhere else in college football.
