- Its affects orders of magnitude more people than the Curt Flood decision, which is landmark in the history of labor law
- At its core is the basic definition of amateurism, which is a big deal, is child labor laws-ish in spirit
- It affects institutions of higher learning: their admissions policies (let's see if the lower academic standards stick if the athletes aren't generating revenue), which in turns affects the makeup of classes, which affects graduation rates, and alumni giving, and fundraising, and research and everything else that universities do
I don't know what is going to happen, but this is not small news, and the ISSUE as a WHOLE is as big a labor issue as you're going find these days
