Dartmouth's basketball players have voted to join a major union:

What Big 12 team is most likely to do the same??

I will go with Cincinnati--a public school and the closest to contagion in the northeast.

I don't think that employees of public universities are allowed to unionize, but I might be wrong.

Unions help under achievers keep their job, so this makes perfect sense.

That will would be it. If a sports union is certified at BU they should close the athletic department. Any other union and they should just shut the doors.
