<section class="s-news"><p>The big news in college football is that the Chicago district of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruled that football players at Northwestern were employees of the university and were therefore entitled to form a union.

As this news broke yesterday, I suspect it has already been discussed ad nauseum on yesterday's Slate. But dead horse puree is a popular beverage on slow news days, yes?

In a somewhat related news tidbit, Dennis Dodd talks to K-State president Kirk Schulz about the NCAA steering committee and its role in a swiftly changing world.</p>
