[QUOTE="WVUALLEN, post: 132273595, member: 1112294"] So they want free education, free food, free room and board, free healthcare, a salary, NIL and unionization to strike whenever they damn well please. I guess that means if they don't meet expectations you could fire them. If they win this they need no part of college life or athletics at the schools. Universities should charge them for the use of their name. Talk about a huge savings for colleges. Stop the athletic program and get back to education. Bohannon, who now plays professionally for the G League's Iowa Wolves, called Thursday's decision an "important step toward much needed change. "I am clearly an employee as a G League basketball player, and I'm doing the same thing I was doing just months ago for the University of Iowa. The difference is that I now have employee rights under labor law and protections under a collective bargaining agreement," Bohannon said in a statement. "NCAA sports has used the words 'student-athlete' and 'amateurism' to skirt labor laws and deny generations of college athletes fair treatment." What's next Bohannon? Unions for High School athletes and middle school athletes. After all when they're in college they will be doing the same things as they did in high school. What's next grade school pee-wee teams as employees of the county or state? [/QUOTE]
