Slippery slope.

logical fallacy

So aren't college athletics already your basic labor conglomerate? The revenue sports, football mostly, basketball depending on school, basically fund the other sports that few people follow or pay to watch. Do these people realize they are about to further destroy college sports outside of football/basketball? Maybe baseball sticks around?

How will this work with Title IX?

Please don't tell me a player can sue a college for expelling them from school for unionizing.

who knows? If they unionize as employees of the school, it becomes unclear how they would be students or how title 9 would apply at that point.

More proof that all it takes is a few dumbasses to ruin something good for everyone. Notice too that it's always the teams / players that really don't matter that do the complaining... I mean, Northwestern? Really?!?

They're discussing this on Fox right now.

This could get crazy.

You can be both a student and an employee, lots of students work part-time at a school.

Well, they are probably correct. If we want college athletes to toil away as low-paid serfs, then we have several federal labor laws we need to change.

Part of me hopes the entire thing dies.

I hope the students/players trying to unionize end up with nothing. I hope it cost them any career they might have had.

Good for them.

I would imagine at some point though, that would cause Title IX to die.

Kids being pimped for billions...good for them.
