Dartmouth men's basketball became the first college team in U.S. sports history to form a union.

On Tuesday evening, 15 student-athletes voted to join the S-E-I-U Local 560 union.

For Illinois State University, the move, if deemed legal, could hinder the future of many athletic programs.

Interim Director of Athletics, Dr. Jerri Beggs says the University has around 450 student athletes.

If deemed legal, the University and others across the country would be forced to cut programs.

If deemed legal, student-athletes would be considered employees, forcing Universities to pay for health care and other benefits.
