By a unanimous decision, the NLRB has declined jurisdiction in the Northwestern University football team issue, without ruling that it might accept jurisdiction in a similar case in the future. To quote the decision: 

    Our decision today is limited to the grant-in-aid
    scholarship football players covered by the petition in
    this particular case; whether we might assert jurisdiction
    in another case involving grant-in-aid scholarship football
    players (or other types of scholarship athletes) is a
    question we need not and do not address at this time.
