That's already in the works. Have to unionize these jits. Then y'all really gonna see how dirty this **** gets

Hopefully collective bargaining with a student-athlete’s union or trade association, real representation, comes sooner than later. Does the House settlement include any such item? Seems like you have a lot of coaches and administrators and TV people deciding that $20 million in revenue is enough to share with the students when there’s head coaches who make 40 to 50 to 60% of that all by themselves.

Lol, spoken like a true lawyer. This whole ball of confusion is beginning to clarify itself as it builds momentum each season. It would be prudent to capture that momentum and rein it in before it blows up and destroys CFB as we know it. But, someone ,anyone needs to put their bigboy pants on and set aside their grievances and greed to step up to seek an equitable agreement. Not holding my breath, here. All parties involved can’t be this blind or ignorant to this reality. Or, playing it as it lays and waiting for an opportunity for a power grab. That seems more likely to me.

Unfortunately each conference is in it for themselves and not for the good of college football. Or they’re arrogant enough to think that what’s best for them is what’s best for college football. I’m referring to the SEC primarily and the Big Ten secondarily.

I do think 100+ D1 teams is too many and money is going to result in multiple tiers rather than just P4, G5, and then FCS. I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, but I don’t see it anything but inevitable.

Many states do not allow government entities to collectively bargain under the idea that the government shouldn’t be able to hold up the citizenry.

You can’t really “settlement” your way around that. You’d need the state legislatures to pass a law.

If they are ever going to get a deal set in place that isn’t challenged in the court, it will have to be collective bargained. Any other way will be deemed illegal and will lose in the courts. Those are the facts.

Who do the players negotiate with??? Who's the owners???

Edit - I'm only asking because I've thrown this out there to a few people already and have gotten some really good answers so I just wanted to hear more of what's on people's mind concerning the topic....
