NCAA athletes fear ’employee’ status will undermine DIII college sports—and their future
Since the decision of the Court in 2021 other cases have emerged centered around how student athletes can see financial support from their university. On July 11, 2024, the U.S. appeals court ruled student athletes may qualify as employees of their university. While the NCAA believes that classifying student athletes as employees defeats the purpose of their traditional “amateurism model” The U.S. appeals court announced that some NCAA athletes may qualify as employees under federal wage-and-hour laws. The NCAA has over 500,000 athletes that compete under their organization and currently do not have the means to administer tests to half a million people. Another case, House v. NCAA, also plays a large role in the probability of student athletes becoming employees of their universities.

Americans Switch from Washington Post Subscription to Gummies
That is of course much, much more difficult to do this week, after our country’s election was undermined by the Tech Bros. www.borowitzreport.com/…In full, by permission of Andy Borowitz:WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Hundreds of thousands of Americans who until recently subscribed to the Washington Post are now receiving a monthly supply of gummies instead, sources confirmed on Thursday. WaPo owner Jeff Bezos has been “totally helpless” to slow the flight from his former newspaper to gummies, which consumers have deemed a more reliable product. “The volume of calls is just as high, and it’s the same people,” she said. Capitalizing on the sudden shift in consumer sentiment, the National Association of Gummy Producers has adopted the slogan, “Depression Dies in Cannabis.”

Elon Musk bet big on Donald Trump. Here’s what he stands to gain – and lose – from his win
New York — No single business leader did more to support former President Donald Trump’s candidacy than Elon Musk. But the billionaire and his business empire face both positives and negatives after Trump won back the presidency in Tuesday’s election. Musk has donated nearly $119 million so far to a political action committee he set up to support Trump, according to Federal Election Commission filings. It will only help Tesla,” Musk posted on X in July. It’s not likely Trump would want to cut that support, and the promise of jobs in those states, even if they will eventually provide competition for Musk and Tesla.
