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

Quote:Do you work?

If your job said we aren't going to pay you any more, just give you free room and board, would you take that? I'm guessing not.


What if they then said by you refusing to take this deal they had to let a bunch of non-productive employees go? I'm guessing that wouldn't change your mind.


As a %, how many scholarship football players in the NCAA do you think use their scholarship for legitimate educational purposes? If its even 50% I'll eat my hat. The whole system is a sham, these kids are basically full time football players. At major colleges they make a lot of money for their organization and all the get in return is an education most of them haven't the brains or inclination to use, an education that could go to a kid with brains rather than the ability to run a 4.4. The joke of it is, that they are already getting paid under the table, but people balk at the idea of a man getting paid honestly for his worth in actual cash. I just can't wrap my head around it.


This is exactly what I am saying. The current system is a sham.
