That is how the mud slinging starts. yeah if you don't agree with the status quo of ripping off the students you must be liberal.
WTF?!?! Are you serious? Unions are one of the most liberal ideas in existence, not because liberal is considered by some to be a negative term by some, but liberal and conservative are opposite ideologies. A Union is a very fricking liberal idea. I challenge you to connect how a union is a conservative or capitalist idea.

"This union-backed attempt to turn student-athletes into employees undermines the purpose of college: an education," NCAA Chief Legal Officer Donald Remy said. "Student-athletes are not employees, and their participation in college sports is voluntary. We stand for all student-athletes, not just those the unions want to professionalize.
"Many student athletes are provided scholarships and many other benefits for their participation. There is no employment relationship between the NCAA, its affiliated institutions or student-athletes.
"Student-athletes are not employees within any definition of the National Labor Relations Act or the Fair Labor Standards Act. We are confident the National Labor Relations Board will find in our favor, as there is no right to organize student-athletes."
