Players union movement gaining steam.

[Midlo Cane Fan]

Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields lead college football players calling for a union

With about five million COVID-19 cases and more than 160,000 deaths from it in the United States, it's becoming increasingly unlikely that the college football season, even a truncated version, will take place.

If the theory is cancel football to avoid union, why is the SEC determined to have football?

Everybody jumps down people’s throats who are hesitant about a players union, without considering the actual fallout of it. The players have leverage and are willing to use it for the first time, but if they take it too far it’ll ruin college sports as we know it. Once again people lose sight of the middle ground.

This is exactly why people don’t trust this issue in the hands of these kids.

Let them take that cash and pay for their education and all the costs associated with being a college student.

Yup, they're only mimicking their elders utopian wet dreams.

Thats not what will happen. The unions would likely do away with the education requirement completely in time. It will be minor league football with schools skimming of the top for their institutions.

The whole amateur student athlete thing is going to have to change.

 

[Dude]

Eventually schools are gonna have to compete with a minor league (maybe XFL), so it'd wise of them to figure out how theyre gonna profit off these kids going forward.
