But they stopped short of deciding if players were employees. But this ruling puts the issue to bed, and for a long while. The basis of the decision is that the NLRB has no jurisdiction over public schools and therefore was reluctant to issue a ruling that would extend beyond its reach and they felt it would not allow for a stable environment if SA were allowed to unionize.
