If you look at what the players are demanding it doesn't seem to me to be a big threat to tne NCAA. They want more study on the long term effects of concussions. They want guarantees of continued medical care after they leave school for injuries suffered during their football careers at the school. They want a piece of the action if their name and their likeness are being sold on souvenirs. And they want scholarships to continue till graduation if a player has a career-ending injury during a game or practice. They aren't demanding a salary. Considering they're the ones putting their bodies on the line so the schools can reap tons of money I don't think their demands are out of line.

The NW kids are leftist tools. Of course those pushing their buttons won’t lay out the entire agenda right now. They just want to get the collective bargaining camel nose in the tent right now. Later there will be demands for pro athlete style pay and perks.
