Ok.Fine.
Pay them.
Let them have a union.
If one unversity has to do it, then you bet others will soon see this situation as well.

That is...like some of you said on the other thread, then college athletes can have a choice of being a paid college professional athlete or not. Join the union and get paid if they want . For those who do not, they do not have too. Their choice. For those who do and very few of them would not
so no more free meals, dorm room and board, medical care, and scholarships full or partial. A binding contract would have to be in place in which the athlete would have to work for that university for the full four years. Add they can find their own housing, transportation, etc.
School? Learning? Forget that totally .
From high school to working as a football, basketball, baseball player in college for four years and then after that, who knows! Some willl make it to the pros and many, MANY, MOST of the others will land at very temporary type jobs or worst.

This is really sad.
You have a bunch of lawyers, agents, and others finding a way here to to take advantage of these athletes who simply know no better. Their homes mostly know no better as well.
