NCAA players looking to unionize and become recognized as paid athletes?

The biggest problem is, where is the line? Like I said above, a very small portion of the students are actually worth more than their scholarship. Then you go to basketball, baseball, golf, swimming, and keep on going. Where is the line, because those minor sports are majorly in the red. 

 

And you know as soon as something does get done the women are going to file hella big Title IX lawsuits to get paid themselves, and then pandora's box gets flung all the way open. No one wants that. 

 

The only real solution that seems feasible, keep it as is as far as the NCAA is concerned, but if you are a big enough star to get paid for your autograph, car dealership sponsorships, etc outside and separate from the NCAA then good for them and let that be legal. If you aren't then that's the natural way to tell you that your scholarship is what you are worth.
