It also is easier to collectively bargain when there are only 1700 NFL players roughly. In NCAA there is at minimum 11,500 and that is at the 85 number, not the expanded roster number. -

But, it would also allow for collective bargaining that could set a ceiling as well (which is the only reason schools want it). -

100%; it’s a free market now…if they are being advised properly, they shouldn’t. schools, admin and the NCAA are like professional owners who want to cap their spending to protect their own pocketbooks. -
Who is everybody’s sleeper breakout player this year and why? I’m going with Christian Clark. I think his explosiveness and violent cut ability will give us some juice running between the tackles this year. My defensive pick is lance Jackson. He’s just different physically and will force his way into the rotation

I just figured out that the lead female vocalist from Jefferson Starship is Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane who sang White Rabbit and Somebody to Love. I literally grew up listening to both and I didn't know.

You can get consent from players without unionization. Most employee contracts in the US aren't unionized. -

Yes, it would. Unionization benefits employees that don't have rare skills because it sets a baseline level of compensation above real market value. The reason some professional sports are unionized is to set a baseline level of security for all players. -

Wouldn’t it be smarter for the athletes to not unionize considering they’re winning every single one of these decisions? That would just make it easier for schools and ncaa to cap them. -

Federal legislation that doesn't give the players the right to agree to the terms won't withstand judicial scrutiny. The Supreme Court has basically said that. Colleges don't want players of revenue generating sports to be employees, but they can't get around it as long as they are making money off the players. -

In all seriousness this could potentially open the door for us to really close with a bang. Guys like: Davon Benjamin Trenton Henderson Kendal Guervil Jaimeon Winfield Lott Finley Kent Lee Roseborough Greene Simeon We can go back and spend to have the highest payroll in football and not miss out on anyone we really want due to NIL. Obviously we won’t get everyone but there are some on this list that we could potentially circle back to if we wanted because we now have the Collectives and the school budget to spend. Outside of collective deals going through approval this seems more like the flood gates are back open like they have been the last few seasons.
