WHICH COLLEGE ATHLETES PASS THE TEST? ANALYZING THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE JOHNSON V. NCAA FLSA EMPLOYMENT TEST FOR COLLEGE ATHLETES.

The article focuses on the implications of the Third Circuit's decision in *Johnson v. NCAA*, which established that college athletes could be considered employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for the purposes of minimum wage protections. The court introduced a four-part test to determine the employer-employee relationship, emphasizing the economic realities of the relationship between college athletes and their universities. The ruling suggests that athletes in revenue-generating sports, particularly in the Power Four conferences, are more likely to be classified as employees, while those in non-revenue sports may not qualify. The article also discusses the potential for legislative changes that could affect this classification and the ongoing debate surrounding college athlete compensation. [Extracted from the article]
