Those college athletes are adults who are old enough to vote. Whether it’s a “good idea” to give them “power” is not really relevant to a legal dispute.

This is going to bring about the end of major college sports as you know it. The NCAA is a big-money racket anyway, so that’s not a bad thing.

I understand, but they don’t have the life experience and not all of them have the wisdom or family background to keep themselves from destroying themselves.

I understand my position is not about legality, but morality.

It has been said that quite a few colleges are basically "football teams with a school attached".

When sports end, the schools will end. Combine this with the plagiarism scandals at Harvard and other achools, the worthless degrees, the student loan crisis, and increasing awareness of the indoctrination issues and the US university system may collapse entirely.

Personally, I would like to see a national push for On The Job training, trade schools and similar initiatives. The number of young people who "need" something like college is probably less than 10% of the number of people who currently go to college. It's basically a scam except (perhaps) for engineering and medicine.

College Football is nothing more than an NFL Farm System now.
