On February 8, 2022, the National College Players Association (NCPA), an advocacy group for college athletes, filed unfair labor practice charges before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) against the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and other heavyweights in collegiate athletics. The NCPA’s charges allege that the NCAA and others misclassify student athletes as amateurs and ask the NLRB to rule that student athletes are employees under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).
