4/ That's ridiculous. College sports is a $15 billion industry all built on the free labor of college athletes. Whether or not the NCAA wants to admit it, these athletes are employees. They often work 40+ hours/wk and they lose their compensation if they refuse to work. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ That's why a lower court already ruled against the NCAA – and it's why they should lose this appeal. The NCAA's main argument is the same tired one they've used for 60 years: college athletes are "amateurs" who have no say in how they're compensated or protected. — PolitiTweet.org

5/ But even if the NCAA loses the case, we need reform. My College Athlete Right to Organize Act would officially recognize college athletes as employees – knocking down barriers that prevent them from collectively bargaining and securing the benefits they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org
