Let's maintain perspective here. This is not a judicial ruling.


This is just an opinion memo by a general counsel at a government agency. And apparently in that memo she said that, in her opinion, college athletes should be considered employees because they "perform services for institutions in return for compensation and (are) subject to their control." So if there is no compensation or if they are not obligated to play the sport as a condition for attending the school, then they would not be employees.
