But it looks like the players won't be cowed, which is huge. If they can just sustain this and stay with the unionizing they'll win. The toughest part is a lot of these guys are only there for 3-4 years. The staying power is more limited which makes it more difficult.

candyman93 Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 I knew this was gonna happen. No way in hell the ncaa lets players union up. NFL is ready to pounce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman93 Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 The only problem. The NCAA just flat out said: “There is no way in hell we will recognize you guys as employees.“ They’re willing to lose billions so they never have to admit it.

Its such a fine line because they're not employees. But for many of these players it is their livelihood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman93 Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 If your school makes a lot off of research and other methods, you can soften the blow. If you’re from a Mah and paw school, not so much. https://mobile.twitter.com/BrooksACarter/status/1292835001617338370 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players need to sustain this for years and get high school kids who aren’t informed on board before they leave and the school can always wait out problematic star players. Hell there is already a strong likelihood that Lawrence and Fields have a premature end to their college career and the schools never have to think about them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 A lot to unravel here, but dominoes are falling. Sounds like the SEC might be a lone holdout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s my question.. you’re a senior like a Lawrence or Fields. You are probably getting drafted in March/April. Are you risking playing and getting injured around that time. Also once your drafted.... wouldn’t your NFL team tell you to knock it off with college? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to imagine that the Big Ten would hit them with some sort of sanctions or punishments. Not sure how, but I feel like being part of one conference you can't just say "screw you guys I'm not going home." and everything's just fine.
