I am trying to understand who is on the hook to pay? Colleges can offer scholarships and living money, but they can’t outright pay players as in a wage.
The NCAA is now entirely feckless. What a mess.

They always have been but the world is just now realizing it.

It’s worse than what you write:

True, these folks CANNOT receive pay. The SEIU can provide them union benefits BUT ONLY IF THEY PAY UNION DUES! How will they pay?

I was a member in good standing of the ILWU (Longshoreman Union) Local #37 for 5 years.

I was forced to join the union and pay union dues in order to work my summer job while in college (working in a salmon cannery on Bristol Bay, AK).

I am NOT a fan of unions...
