76 northwestern university football players were eligible to cast a secret ballot in one of the more publicized union votes in recent history. and that vote was held early friday morning. we don t know the results yet and we won t be getting any exit polling. not only were reporters not allowed anywhere near the vote, literally kept a certain distance away from the campus building where the players voted, but as the chicago tribune reported, we may not know for months what the players decided. why not? northwestern, the university, not the football team, filed an appeal with the national labor relations board on april 9th to overturn the march decision by a regional director that made scholarship athletes on the team employees in the eyes of the law. on thursday, the nlrb agreed to hear out the university s concerns and the balance will be impounded until the nlrb rules on the appeal. that s why regardless of how the players voted, we re not calling it, for a good long while, likely.
