Which is probably the next logical step (employees), which will lead to players' unions and bargaining, which will finally end any semblance of amateurism and change all of college football as we know it.



Not to derail the thread but when, not if, players become employees and have a CBA right to work states (the entirety of the SEC and most of the ACC) will be at a SEVERE disadvantage in recruiting to the Big10 and most of whatever the frick has become of the PAC12. It is going to be really really interesting to see if being anti-union or pro college football is more important in the at will work states....

It's going to be an absolute disaster, and not to be hyperbolic, it will end the sport, IMO.

There are so many things to consider about official employment when it comes to thousands of athletes on campus, I just can't see many programs having the wherewithal to go through with it.

At that point it's essentially an NFL G League, with no associated subsidy. (There would be no point for them to invest, because they're already getting player development for free.)
