Of course there is. If it's the only game in town, it's the only game in town. Before a few years ago, they had no choice but to play for tuition.

What you're suggesting has already been illegal for about a century. You cannot force a public employee to join a union. Period. If someone wants to attend a public institution, they cannot be forced to join a union in order to participate in any activity on that the school sponsors. On top of that, those student-athletes/employees can't even be forced to pay dues or honor a union contract if they are not members. That's a recent Supreme Court ruling.

I don't know what reasoning you are applying getting around very long extant federal law and recent Supreme Court rulings. But I'm interested in hearing it.
