Dartmouth tells NLRB that basketball players are students – for real – not employees

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:23:52 GMT

BOSTON (AP) — Dartmouth College lawyers argued Thursday that the Ivy League school’s basketball players should not be considered employees because they are unpaid members of a money-losing program whose need-based scholarships don’t depend on their participation or talent.In a National Labor Relations Board hearing to determine whether the team should be allowed to unionize, school attorney Joe McConnell said that the classification of the players as “student-athletes” — whatever it merits for big-money college teams elsewhere — is actually appropriate at Dartmouth.“Dartmouth’s paramount commitment is to the academic and personal growth of all students, including students who participate in varsity athletic activities,” he said in the Zoom hearing. “At Dartmouth, students’ primary objective is learning, and Dartmouth has adopted policies reflecting that students who participate in intercollegiate athletics are students first and athletes second, and that class attendance takes prece...

McDaniel, Dolphins expect improved Giants offense; Miami also has protection issues

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:23:52 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Mike McDaniel watched quarterback Daniel Jones scramble as the New York Giants’ offensive line gave up 11 sacks in a loss to Seattle on Monday night.The Miami Dolphins’ coach understands how easily things could turn around for his team’s next opponent.“From my perspective, I see an offense that’s close,” McDaniel said Wednesday. “Eleven sacks with the completion percentage that (Daniel Jones) had, it felt like to me when I was watching that it was either completion or sack. Which means the way I see it … the difference between sack and completion is that finite. If you take the sacks out, he’d probably have a pretty high quarterback rating because the completion percentage was high.”That’s why McDaniel doesn’t expect to easily replicate the Seahawks’ success when Miami (3-1) hosts New York (1-3) on Sunday.The Dolphins could use a dominant performance from their defense, which has been inconsistent at getting pressu...
