    © LOYOLA OF LOS ANGELES ENTERTAINMENT LAW REVIEW CITE AS “35 LOY. L.A. ENT. L. REV. 1” FULL COURT PRESS: NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, A NEW CHALLENGE TO THE NCAA William B. Gould IV,* Glenn M. Wong,** and Eric Weitz*** In recent years, a host of issues have arisen between the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the college athletes who provide the labor from which the NCAA and its member universities derive their profits. Many of these issues have been heavily publicized and have spurred a heated debate over the status of college athletes and the future of the collegiate athletic system. This Article primarily focuses on the issue of college athletes’ status as employees for purposes of federal labor law. The significant increase in the popularity of college sports in recent years has led to conference realignment, facility building and arms race, governance issues and litigation. The student-athletes, the players in the highly lucrative college football and basketball games have been left behind. They have resorted to challenging the NCAA’s system in many different ways. Recently, football players at Northwestern University successfully petitioned their local Regional Director of the National Labor Relations Board for a union representation election, arguing that they are employees of the University and as such are entitled to collective bargaining rights and *The Charles A.

    Shift from WGN Recalls Old Comfort Zone for Fans, Station, Cubs

    Shift from WGN recalls old comfort zone for fans, station, Cubs By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, June 9th, 2014 Wowww! Let’s go, batter up, we’re taking the afternoon off….It’s a beautiful day for a ballgame, for a ballgame today. The fans are out to get a ticket or two, from Walla Walla, Washington to Kalamazoo… Everything changes – even the most comfy things that fit to a tee. Familiarity and memories of childhood soundtracks of summer is why we’re all wrung out with the news the Cubs’ radio rights have shift- ed to WBBM-Radio from their 57-season home 60 kc down the dial at WGN. The news wasn’t unexpected. WGN re- opened its Cubs contract – not the other way around – before this season because it was losing its financial shirt, unable to re- coup enough ad revenue to cover produc- tion costs when the baseball ratings had gone in the dumper. A move like this be- came inevitable – just the timing was in question – after Tribune Co. sold the Cubs to the cash-hungry Ricketts family, which is saddled with a heavy debt service man- dated by corporate shark Sam Zell as the structure of the sale. Lou Boudreau (top) and Jack Quinlan in WGN- As long as Tribune Co. -- which acquired Radio's first season with the Cubs radio rights in the embryonic WGN in 1924 -- had um- 1958. brella ownership of the Cubs and WGN TV -radio properties, change was going to be far off in the future. But all bets were off once the team and broadcasters diverged under www.ChicagoBaseballMuseum.org [email protected] separate corporate entities.

    Deserving of Ford Frick Award, Vince Lloyd an Enduring Voice of Summer by George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, January 3Rd, 2013

    Deserving of Ford Frick Award, Vince Lloyd an enduring voice of summer By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, January 3rd, 2013 (First in a series of articles running throughout 2014 on the great personalities and events that marked Wrigley Field’s 100 years of opera- tion.) Getting recognized for long and meritorious service at Wrigley Field sometimes takes awhile. The worthy recipient might as well take the late Chicago Tribune sports col- umnist David Condon’s ad- Lou Boudreau (left) and Vince Lloyd were an enduring Cubs ra- dio duo for two decades in the Ford Frick Award's "Living Room vice: “In this business, you Era." learn to be a good sitter.” Ernie Banks waited nearly a decade after Harry Caray’s statue was dedicated in 1999 to have his own monument, and none other than Henry Aaron, at the ceremony, pro- claimed the honor was a decade overdue. Fergie Jenkins had to wait until Greg Mad- dux's career ended to see the Cubs uniform No. 31 they both wore retired. Achievers of a half century ago, such as 22-game winner Dick Ellsworth and 96-RBI producer George Altman, haven’t even been invited back to the Cubs Convention. And, sadly, Ron Santo only garnered Hall of Fame status posthumously, the Veterans Committee voters almost shamed to voting him in a year after diabetes complications finally nailed the beloved “This Old Cub.” The latter route unfortunately will need to be traveled again for the great Vince Lloyd to be considered for the Ford C. Frick Award.
