The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit’s decision in Johnson v. National Collegiate Athletic Ass’n is the latest in a series of legislative and judicial actions that raise the likelihood that at least some college athletes will be considered employees within the next decade.  Despite what seems to be a near-certain legal outcome, those who oppose reforming college sports suggest that doing so will lead to a new era of chaos.  We disagree.  This Symposium Article examines some of the questions pertaining to what college sports might look like in the future with certain athletes as employees, and it explains why we believe labor reform will bring stability to intercollegiate sports.  The questions we explore include how employment status would enable athletes to collectively bargain, and what benefits athletes might be able to secure from this opportunity.  This Symposium Article also addresses why not all college athletes might be employees, how Title IX may affect college-athlete employees, and what new responsibilities athletes and colleges may have in light of the change in the legal status of certain athletes.
