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.
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 agree, but ya know Money talks Bull**** walks. So anything can happen.
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???
Right I remember when you originally answered in another post I made, TY for that....

Let's go a step further here and maybe explain how the NCAA then would represent the owner/school side of things???
Would it be like how Goodell works with NFL owners??? Assuming the schools would be the owners ....
My thinking tells me if the schools indeed become the owners that would abolish NIL as we know it or at least the collective part of it , right??
I mean the schools would have to handle payment to players to become owners?? Or am I off there???
There's just no definitive other party at this point .... You have the schools, the conferences, the NCAA and the collectives... and there's probably more I just don't know about....
You see where am at in my head with this??? LOL!!!.... At some point in the seemingly very near future there needs to be lines drawn as to who handles what and who has final say at the bargaining table..... I hope I'm making sense with all this...
The owners are the universities, and if they don’t wanna get sued and continue to lose in court, whatever ever deal is reached, has to be collective bargained. The universities don’t wanna do this, but they have no choice if they ever want to deal in place that will stick.
Appreciate the answer.... Wherever this is headed I have a feeling it's gonna get ugly legally before we see any sort of rational resolution..... Or not...
If that's the case then the Uni's would have to be in control of pay, right???. As of now they can't directly pay players so a lot has to change legally... Am I correct???
Interesting. Did not know that. Thanks.
Yes, a lot has to change, but at the end of the day those changes have to be collectively bargained. End of the day, that is the most important thing because if it’s not, it will not hold up in court.
There's one way to deal with this outside of unionization and collective bargaining.
