Is he the only player or former player out there with any sense? Unions of 18-22 year old morons will inevitably ruin the sport.

allowing a free market for endorsements would also ruin the sport because a free market with college athletes could not be a true free market. Inevitably the boosters would strike deals just to get a kid to sign with their school.

I hated TJ Moe as a player, especially when Missouri benefitted from a blatant block in the back on a long TD reception for him to beat San Diego State in the final minute in 2010, but I agree with him here until he goes on about the endorsements and such.
Opposed to endorsements because it would create a lot of bidding wars for high school athletes.
"Come to Oregon Mr. 5 star recruit, and you will get your own Nike shoe line and a giant ad on a billboard in Times Square the moment you sign your LOI"
Not sure if we want that.

It's amazing how much smarter the new kids are than the rest of the SEC. You think someone from State or Ole Miss could have said all those things?

Hate to be the harbinger of bad news, but the sport was ruined a long, long time ago. It was ruined by the greed of the athletic departments, bowl sponsors, TV Executives, etc. The players unionizing and finally getting a voice is only an attempt to level the playing field, but I do agree it will only ruin it more.
I still love watching it though.

If the current players start getting paid /free market/ whatever they end up doing do y'all think that past players will try to receive money from video games that used their likeness before all of this talk has come about

And how about Title IX? major lawsuits would follow if football and mens basketball (The only real revenue sports) began getting paid

I have no problem with players joining unions if they want to.

The kid gets it. The conditions that prompted coal miners to unionize in this country years ago were understandable. The college kids on scholarship are not NEARLY in the same type of conditions as 1800's coal miners. Unions are FOR PROFIT businesses that seek to get money from dues by promising their base to get them $ or conditions that they have no real power to guarantee.
