“Given the current negative view of the Supreme Court toward the NCAA that was reflected in the (NCAA v. Alston) opinion, it is very possible that they will side with those who are seeking to characterize students as employees,” said Schill, who is also a professor at the Pritzker School of Law.

Schill, who previously served as chair of the Pac-12 CEO Group and on the Board of Governors for the NCAA, said if the Supreme Court rules against the athletic association in a future case involving the NLRB, he anticipates student athletes would unionize and bargain for wages.

If the University directly distributed payments to student athletes, he said, there would be less overall revenue for NU athletics as a whole.
