At most of the schools I've been at, these are all paid positions. Granted, they're not paid as much as a key player in a revenue sport at a big time program would likely be paid, but the marching band and pep bands are paid for each performance. The people who work at the TV and radio stations, and those who work for the university newspaper are also all paid something. At the very least, there is no agreed upon rule amongst universities to not pay them. They can if they want to. I'm sure not all schools pay those positions, but a lot of them do. That's actually one of the main arguments people who are in favor of paying college players are making.

As a person who was a college journalist, musician, and research lab tech, I got nadda.

Yeah, and they have to know who is and isn't an employee in order to do that. They've stated that they are committed to protecting college athletes' employee rights under the labor laws.
The more you try to point out that the NCAA isn't in any real trouble, the more trouble I start to think they may be in.Last edited by xubrew; 09-16-2019 at 05:51 PM.

Can you explain why they're not employees?? Maybe you can. If so, then I'll gladly tip my hat to you.
You're probably going to see a lot of arguments being made that they are employees because they perform work, they do so under the control of someone else, and the work they perform benefits the people/organization that controls them. An argument can be made that they're not, but is it good enough to win and is the NCAA smart enough to make it?? Earlier you mentioned that no one is forcing them to play. That doesn't mean they don't legally fit the definition of an employee. It just means that they aren't incarcerated.
Can you explain why the NLRB has stated that they are committed to protecting the employee rights of student-athletes if it's not their decision to make in the first place?? You say they don't get to decide. Well, in the case of college athletes they apparently did."You can't fix stupid." Ron White
