If Northwestern never wins another game, I would be a happy person. This is a joke.

The ex-QB mouthpiece for this ‘movement’ is an Obama wannabe; a community organizer type who sees political office and/or the juicy salary of a newly-minted (pun intentional) union kingpin much preferable to actual work.

He’s already got the methodology down - forget actual community sentiment and instead use the terminally biased courts as a battering ram.

This wasn’t Northwestern’s idea; they’re fighting it. Why don’t you blame the former player(s) who came up with it.

“If Northwestern never wins another game, I would be a happy person. This is a joke.”

I don’t think its a joke. I do think this will wind up at the Supreme Court. But, however this plays out, college football , along with the concussion issue, will be going through some challenges over the next decade or so.

It’s my guess that should the Northwestern lawsuit prevail I think it spells the demise of college football as we know it. This current lawsuit would only apply to private schools but should it win at the Supremes I’m guessing there will be a lawsuit in behalf of player eat public schools. I see in my crystal ball that college sports will evolve into club teams much the same as in Europe. And, the NFL will form minor league divisions similar to MLB. But, who knows, one thing for sure this will get real messy if it’s not slapped down - soon....
