This is taken from an article on fooballscoop.com It was in an article interviewing the football coach at Grambling . The NCAA erred when they discouraged rather than encouraged the players to unionize. All of this could be collectively bargained.. Agents who represent the players would have to be licensed by the union. Promises of money to players would be in the form of a written contract; It could be for 1-4 years. A player wishing to leave would have to pay a buyout, just like coaches. This, of course, would all be collectively bargained. Players would have the right to strike. Amateurism in an environment of billion-dollar TV deals is out-model. This is pro sports, like it or not. It's just all above board. In-season tampering with players, which is now rampant, would be subject to several penalties, i.e, loss of roster spots..
Still, though, the NCAA argues that still does not make them employees. With employment comes collective bargaining, which brings certain protections (both to the employee and the employer) that make it more difficult for each side to break their respective agreements and compensates the injured party when those pacts are broken. I.e., buyouts.
