1.Former student athletes at the University of Pennsylvania sued the university and also the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), alleging that they were employees entitled to a minimum wage under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Student participation in collegiate athletics is entirely voluntary, and the court pointed out the "long tradition of amateurism in college sports [which], by definition, shows that student-athletes - like all amateur athletes - participate in their sports for reasons wholly unrelated to immediate compensation." The Seventh Circuit, along with several courts in the past, ruled that student athletes are not employees. What do you think? Given the extreme amount of required time in training, the large amounts of money earned by the universities where students play, the potential for injury, and perhaps other factors you might identify, make an argument that student athletes should be viewed as employees.
