Round 2 finished for the Jackets, +12 tied for 11th at the moment. Vince Whaley with the only under par round today, going to have to dig deep tomorrow!

Just a feeling, I think he want to reward the players but he's going to go to that point until it's earned :)

Oh I suspect he has something up his sleeve when HE feels they've earned it ;)

And yes, I remember the Black Watch very well!!!!

Color me an unabashed fan of CTR, his passion for his players is evident, his passion for Tech in unquestioned and I saw players give their all on the field game in and game out. Adding the talent we're seeing coming in bodes well for the D and I feel that as the talent level increases you'll...

These are not absolutes, they are criteria. And a person does not have to meet ALL of them to be classified as an employee.

No it won't have a retroactive effect. So no issue with back taxes.

If they win, that's a very distinct possibility imo. Or it could be defining cost to attend the point of contract status allowing colleges to contract for services. So many possibilities and so few answers beyond the issue of employer-employee relationship that I would even begin to speculate...

Possibly

Generally speaking here are the criteria that factor in per the EEOC The employer has the right to control when, where, and how the worker performs the job. The work does not require a high level of skill or expertise. The employer furnishes the tools, materials, and equipment. The work is...

Here's great write up that not only discusses Darden it also addresses a number of other employment law cases related. This from a case before the MN Supreme Court but you'll see the federal cases on point. http://mnbenchbar.com/2010/09/independent-contractor-or-employee/

That's why I posted the supreme court case. I suspect the SAs are going prevail but it'll be interesting whichever way it goes. You might find it interesting to go ahead and google the case, the Darden decision shows what factors can go into the establish an employer-employee relationship.

Here the US Supreme Court case that defines employment relationship for those who want to see what factors are at play in the NW NRLB case. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. v. Darden, 503 U.S. 318 (1992)

Actually Boomer that's already been admitted by NW is the value of the scholarships. The players do receive compensation, the central crux from the players standpoint is they are employees and, as such, under the current status of Labor law in the U.S. they have the right to collective bargain...

It's been fun watching him since he was a junior in high school. IMO I don't think he's going to have any problems making it in the NFL as long as he stays healthy!

Ken did a nice job with that article

When I read the original ruling it goes into great detail as to what, under the law, constitutes an employee. I knew a lot of what was cited (I've handled employer liability claims as an insurance litigation specialist) and I could little fault with the legitimacy of of the hearing officer...

I disagree with amateur athletes being classified as employee but legally it's a very, very close call. If you go in look at the original ruling the author lays it out well and there is a compelling argument there.

He was on local radio in Nashville for quite a while. I really enjoyed his show!

Let me add one other thing. If your son plays outside of a metro area or an area that is not a known football area the camps are an additional bonus. My son played in Nashville. While it's a metro are, unless you're playing for one of the private schools (Ensworth, JPII, eyc) you can forget...
