1. Baker’s Athlete Labor Claims Get Pushback

by Daniel Libit, Sportico

“While testifying before a Senate Judiciary Committee last month, new NCAA president Charlie Baker sought to make the case that it isn’t just the association that opposes college athletes becoming employees of their institutions. The athletes, Baker submitted, are almost entirely in opposition, as well.
