It's all in reaction to the upcoming agreement regarding the NIL antitrust suit. Players will be considered employees. Players are forming unions already. It will officially be the NFL minor league in the next few years.
Part of having employees, especially employees in unions, is minimum salaries, benefits, and perks.
As an aside, I wonder if anyone asked the Rock and his partners if they would ever consider drafting high school seniors to play in the UFL along the current older guys trying to get back in the NFL? If done right, I could see the UFL actually explode in popularity as a spring developmental league with a much higher percentage of players who will eventually play in the NFL. No having to deal with players attending class, getting good enough grades to play in games, etc. Just plain football and getting paid for it.
It would be the end of college football as we know it, but at this point, the blind pursuit of the almighty dollar appears to be doing that to college football anyway.
