When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

I genuinely would be curious to hear what the athletes have to say about it. I mean you get to hear from everyone who’s not an athlete about how they think it’s the end of the living world. As if they should have a say anyway, most of them have gotten richer due to the past setup.
Not just the athletes in line for a 6 figure payday, either. I would guess most athletes don’t like the state of things right now. Your teammate makes all conference, gets a text and then he’s gone forever. Odds are he won’t even find another team, he just got excited because someone was gassing his dad up.
The system needs a fix but it is obviously clear that the athletes need a place at the table as well. And as much bitching and moaning as this idea will get, they need the ability to collectivize also. All the other parties do. One of the many cute benefits of not allowing athletes the same rights as workers.
Or you can artificially hold them down and wait for the next black market to pop up.
