IMHO, "Employment Law" should not apply because that is a class

that are not employees any more than students paying to learn their profession or craft. Student athlete should not be classed as "employees" any more than marching band members who also go to intercollegiate competitions. Same for other academic and research teams.

This is correct. The NLRB will determine if athletes are employees or not.
