WTF does that have to do with paying college football players?
20 years ago colleges controlled the markets
Now the conferences do
20 years from now media will own it
As a fan, or player, do you think you will get better treatment from local ownership, or foreign ownership?

Speaking of the media...
So will outlets like ESPN have to pay the union [also] to broadcast the games? And will the Union get a cut of the advertising revenues?
Seems to me that the people who have the most to lose, which would be the business who make a lot of money off these sports events, would try to at least position themselves to exercise some control over the Union(s).
So you may "work" for the university, but you answer to the Union... which may be controlled by CBS or ESPN (or similar).
Yeah, even more pitfalls.
