Ok NCAA rules say college athletes CAN NOT be compensated or they are not eligible to play in the NCAA (which is the only game in town). So what will there be for the union to negotiate? If a college breaks down and pays their players, they get kicked out of the NCAA, essentially killing their football program.

Getting rid of that rule. Either by forcing the NCAA to chance, or getting the schools out of the NCAA. The later is more likely, schools are getting tired of the NCAA and their constant “investigations” and having wins vacated. It’s why they’re forming the super conferences.

If enough colleges set up unions for athletes, couldn’t they form another organization, a new league, apart from the NCAA? Maybe that’s where this will go. A core group of colleges will form a league, and play only each other???
