. After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping
back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by
playing its most complete game of the year. In an unprecedented foray into
college sports, the National Labor Relations Board general counsel has declared
that Northwestern University must eliminate unlawful rules governing football
players and allow them greater freedom to express themselves. The ruling, which
referred to players as employees, found that they must be freely allowed to post
on social media, discuss issues of their health and safety, and speak with the
media.The new rules could apply to the football programs at the 16 other private
universities that play in the FBS, including schools such as Notre Dame,
Stanford and Baylor -- but not public universities. As the nations top labor
agency, the NLRB governs relations between private employers and their
employees, so it has no power over public schools. Its findings on Northwestern
became public on Friday.The ruling does not have force of law on the private
schools, but if anyone raised a complaint, the result would likely be similar to
the Northwestern case. Coaches and administrators there are no longer able to
ban players from posting on social media -- as some high-profile programs have
done -- or even regulate what they say. And whereas Northwestern once barred
players from talking to any media not approved by the school, it is no longer
allowed to do so.In addition to granting players greater freedoms, the NLRB
ruling will offer athletes a clear path to bring their issues before an
independent agency outside of the organizations that have historically governed
college athletics -- the universities, the conferences and the NCAA.So while
this ruling did not address compensation for athletes, someone could now file a
charge with the NLRB asserting that failing to pay players constitutes an unfair
labor practice. After all, if the NLRB -- which is led by a five-person board
and a general counsel, all appointed by the president -- declared that close
monitoring of social media is an unfair labor practice, it is an open question
how it would view failure to pay players. Until now, the issue has been
contested only in antitrust courts.The action against Northwestern came in a
highly unusual proceeding. It stemmed from a charge filed in August 2015 against
the school by David Rosenfeld, an activist labor lawyer with the firm of
Weinberg Roger & Rosenfeld in Alameda, California, and echoed the 2014
attempt by Northwestern players to form a union. Rosenfeld alleged that
Northwestern was guilty of unfair labor practices in its treatment of football
players.Rosenfeld, who had no previous connection with Northwestern, relied on a
provision of American labor law that allows anyone, anywhere, to bring unfair
treatment of employees to the attention of the NLRB for remedial action. By the
same token, if someone were to challenge the NCAAs compensation rules, it would
not need to be a player -- it could be anyone.In response to Rosenfelds charge,
the NLRB issued an advice memorandum late last month that described the
Northwestern team rules as unlawfully overbroad. The memorandum was made public
last week after ESPN.com filed a freedom of information request for the
material.The jumping off point for Rosenfelds filing was a decision in 2014 by
the NLRB Regional Administrator in Chicago, Peter Ohr, that Northwestern players
were employees. Northwestern vigorously disputed the idea at the time and
appealed Ohrs decision to the five members of the NLRB.During the course of the
appeal, most of the private universities that would be affected joined
Northwesterns effort. They succeeded in obtaining a ruling from the NLRB board
members that the agency would not enter into the world of college sports. The
board said it did not make sense for the NLRB to take jurisdiction over a
potential Northwestern players union since it was the only private school in the
Big Ten. It would be chaos, the board reasoned, if Northwestern was governed by
the NLRB and the other schools were governed by the laws of New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and
Nebraska.But even as the NLRB refused to take jurisdiction over the situation,
Ohrs decision that the players were employees remained untouched and in effect.
In the memorandum made public last week, an associate general counsel of the
NLRB stated in a footnote that he assume(d) that Northwesterns scholarship
football players are statutory employees.Northwestern, in a written statement
from vice president for university relations Alan K. Cubbage to ESPN.com, stated
that the school disputes the General Counsels assumption that Northwesterns
athletes are employees and asserted that they are students, first and
foremost.In his charge of unfair treatment of employees, Rosenfeld ciited the
Northwestern team handbook that was a critical exhibit in the 2014
hearing.dddddddddddd The handbook includes rules governing the daily lives of
the players and makes clear that they would be closely supervised by coaches.I
obtained the handbook from the NLRB with a Freedom of Information Act request
and located the provisions that were unfair labor practices, Rosenfeld told
ESPN.com.The provisions cited by Rosenfeld and found to be unlawful included
coaches monitoring of players social media use and bans on discussion of any
aspects of the team ... with anyone, discussing individual grievances with
fellow team members or third parties, including lawyers and union
representatives, and all contacts with the media unless they were arranged by
the athletic communications office.During the course of the just concluded NLRB
proceedings, Northwestern agreed to modify or to eliminate the rules in
question. The universitys changes and its notice to team members of the new
policies resulted in the NLRB dismissing the charge without further hearings or
actions. The initial filings by Rosenfeld and Northwestern have not yet been
made public.Under the rule that the NLRB found to be unlawful, Northwestern
coaches and even the university police could regularly monitor social media
postings made by football players. Former team captain and quarterback Kain
Colter, the leader of the players union effort, testified in the NLRB hearing in
Chicago early in 2014 that when he posted a photo of himself in Oakley
sunglasses that were a gift at a celebrity golf outing, an assistant coach
texted him within 10 minutes of the posting that he must remove it. The coach
was concerned that the selfie might be construed as an endorsement of Oakley
products.Under the modification offered by Northwestern, the new social media
rule provides that postings can be seen by Northwestern personnel and cautions
against posting full or partial nudity (of yourself or another) sex, racial or
sexual epithets, underage drinking, drugs, weapons or firearms, hazing,
harassment, or unlawful activity.A previous handbook rule on communications told
players that they must never discuss any aspects of the team with anyone.
Emphasizing the confidentiality of players physical conditions and planned team
strategies, the rule stated, The team is a family and what takes place on the
field, in meetings, or in the locker room stays within this family.The new rule
is limited to a ban on discussion of individual medical conditions and allows
players to discuss on a no-name basis -- owing to HIPAA, they cannot refer to
another player by name -- any vital health and safety issues impacting
themselves, their teammates, and fellow collegiate football players.Rules
governing Northwesterns student-athlete grievance process -- called the
Student-Athlete Rights and Responsibilities (Dispute Resolution Procedure) in
the handbook -- were also deemed unlawful and Northwestern has completely
eliminated the procedures. The rules had stated that any grievance concerning
personal rights and relationships within the team must begin with an appeal to
the teams director of football operations (Cody Cejda), further appeals to Head
Coach Pat Fitzgerald and the athletic director, and ultimately a review by
Northwestern President Morton O. Schapiro.The universitys elimination of its
procedures for player grievances was based on the NLRBs finding that the rule
prohibited discussions with fellow players and third parties concerning
workplace grievances.Another handbook rule told Northwestern players that they
should never agree to an interview (with the media) unless the interview has
been arranged by the athletic communications office, and that the players must
be positive when talking about your teammates, coaches and team. Responding to
the NLRBs conclusions that the rule was an infringement on player freedoms,
Northwestern abandoned the rule, rewriting it to provide that players may
directly speak with members of the media if (they) choose to do so.In its
revised handbook, the school suggested to players that, in interviews, they
should share credit for your success by talking about the contributions of your
teammates and use their names. Players were also admonished to remember that
every great running back needs a good offensive line and talking about the great
work of others shows you have confidence in your own role and the value of your
own contributions, so youre not afraid of letting someone else have their moment
of glory, too.Editors note: This story has been updated for clarity.?
