If the feds don't handle their business, and soon, Sanky will be a prophet, and soon!

Personally, I think it's more the answer than the option.

I’ve just seen no evidence that CFB power brokers are interested in doing collective bargaining. Collective bargaining almost always involves revenue sharing. The SEC is threatening to breakaway bc they don’t want to do revenue sharing.

CFB is desperately trying to get the Government to grant them an antitrust exemption that will allow them to operate as a non-capitalist system. This would allow them to control compensation without players having any bargaining power. The catch is it would involve revenue sharing. SEC is posturing to get the rev share piece out of the legislation. But, the system won’t work without it.

If/when that fails, CFB will either:
1. Try to get a new congress to pass their legislation.
2. Keep this unsustainable model until it implodes. Athletic departments start shutting down bc they can’t keep up with the biggest brands.
3. Move forward with collective bargaining.
Players are adults. In an American economy, you are compensated based on your talents that people are willing to pay for. College athletes are talented enough to bring billions into a system. A collective bargaining system keeps costs uniform, treats players and institutions fairly, and encourages cooperation.

Not if the new super league left rules on NIL and transfers completely out of it.

Why wouldn't there be collective bargaining?


The athletes, especially the top earning ones, are not at all interested in being part of such a thing. Further, according to a recent (2021) Supreme Court, they can't be forced into one or to have to follow the rules of one even if one did come into being - atleast not at the public institutions they can't be.

Add 7 more schools to get to 40: Clemson, Florida St, N Carolina, Miami, Colorado, Virginia, Virginia Tech.


One of those schools will be left out.
