00:02 While Northwestern tried to unionize its football players,
00:05 did in 2014, lasted for a year, Dartmouth
00:09 has said they're trying to file for the same thing
00:13 in basketball.
00:14 15 players file a formal petition
00:17 with the National Labor Relations Board.
00:19 Dartmouth has been a certified member
00:22 of the Ivy League since 1911.
00:25 By the way, haven't had a winning season since 1959,
00:31 winning record since 1999, been in the tournament since '59.
00:36 And the bottom line, though, is the players
00:38 say that they deserve union representation.
00:42 See where this goes.
00:43 This doesn't seem to be a consensus thing
00:45 around college basketball.
00:47 A lot of people will watch this with interest
00:49 like they did with Northwestern football nearly 10 years ago.
00:53 But the real answer seems to be male rights, female rights,
00:57 NIL, and a host of other opportunities.
