Interesting Non-Community College news: Northwestern Football players unionize

The Chronicle of Higher Education reports that Northwestern University Football players have unionized.  This should make for a very interesting situation with the NCAA.

Football players at Northwestern University cleared a significant hurdle on Wednesday, as a regional office of the National Labor Relations Board ruled that they qualified as employees with the right to unionize.
The decision, which the university said it would appeal, could lead to radical changes in how colleges treat big-time athletes. But the appeals process could take years to play out.
